Not everyone is what they seem. Sometimes that’s good and sometimes not.

Kyra
My life is… complicated. I’m a deputy in the small town of Mystic River; my boss used to be my lover; and my brother is the local gangster. If that isn’t enough, Scott, the town’s very sexy baker, has told everyone that will listen that I am his fated mate.

Something is going on in my town and it seems to involve Scott and lots of secrets. An unfamiliar shifter dies suspiciously in my jail after sharing a cryptic message for “the baker.” The cause of death is unknown. My brother informs me, that Scott, who claims to be a Canadian lynx shifter, is not from Canada. Where he’s from is unknown but it’s definitely not Canada. Scott is hiding something. I will figure it out.

Scott
I came to Mystic River to hide in plain sight and pursue my love of all things baking. Baking isn’t necessarily what people think of as a hobby or profession for an alpha male lynx shifter, but after all I’ve seen and done, I crave peace almost as much as I crave Kyra, the beautiful curvy lynx shifter deputy.

After almost being killed, Kyra’s not looking for any kind of commitment. In fact, the idea that she might leave Mystic River is gaining in appeal, especially when she discovers that all of the people she holds dear have secrets they don’t want to reveal.

Come visit Mystic River, Alaska a small, remote town that has always been a safe community for different types of shifters. These shifters are gorgeous, possessive and finding their fated mate is high on their priority list.

Take a walk on the wild side with these curvy heroines, their sexy fated mates and scenes that sizzle.

I loved it😍

I'm so glad that Kira finally realized that she was only hurting herself, by not accepting Scot as her fated mate. They are such a powerful couple. I don't know if I want to read the next book. He's not even a main character. I want Kia's brother to find his mate, and see what he does to change his life.

TAKING ON THE SHADOW LEAGUE

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2023

The story is part of the new Mystic River Shifters. It will have a great cast of characters, including humans and shifters. While you could read this out of order, to fully understand the characters and interactions, it is best if they are read in written order, because it is an ongoing saga. Each story picks up from where the last one left off (especially within the epilogue.) This story will be between Scott and Myra.

Scott is a man with a secret past. He says he is from Canada but some of the phrases and words he uses leave that up in the air. The one thing he is exceptionally good at is being a baker. He also has told Kyra that she is his fated mate—something she vehemently verbally denies—but time will tell the truth. Kyra is the deputy sheriff of Mystic River, working under Sheriff Jax.

The story’s plot will have a call to Scott from a man from his past—and when the man shows up in Mystic River in the Sheriff’s office, he will give a short message to give to the baker. Kyra shares that with Scott but he tries to deny knowing who John Doe is. Even the town Doctor and Kyra’s brother, Colby, are acting strange and secretive.

“The baker. You need to tell him, they’re coming.”

The story is full of mystery, suspense, danger, action adventure, and secrets. Jax and Autumn have gone on their honeymoon now that Kyra has returned from her trip. She tries to get several people to be honest with her, but she knows that is holding onto secrets, and that includes the doctor, Scott, and her brother, Colby. Between the mysterious death of a stranger, and learning that a group that everyone jokes about being the bogeyman is real and that the man she finally is falling for is not whom she believes—you would think Kyra would wash her hands of it all. But Kyra refuses to keep hiding her feelings for Scott and will take a stand against all the alphas of Mystic River—be they friends or foes.

“At what point would she listen to her instinct, her soul, and trust he was where she wanted to be regardless of it that was in Mystic River or not.”

How far will Kyra go to save the man, her fated mate, knowing that in the process they both could die? She won’t let anyone stand in her way. The chemistry between them sizzles off the pages. When they are together, it is as if fate ordained them to be together. This isn’t the end, there is a greater battle coming in May when Shameless Mate releases.

A great continuation of the series

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2023

Scott Hardaway is not your ordinary baker. Scott is actually an ex-assassin who is Kyra Reynolds fated mate. Kyra has denied her attraction/connection to Scott but he is undeterred. When Scott's past come knocking on their door step, it puts Kyra and the town at risk. While this a continuation of Mystic River shifters, it sets up the stage for a spin pff series. Overall, this was a fast and enjoyable read.

Suspenseful and so many secrets

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 25, 2023

Definitely read the previous books in the Mystic River Shifters series to better understand the dynamic between Kyra and Scott, and the community as a whole.

Scott Hardaway, town baker, knew Kyra was his fated mate at first sight. She doesn’t believe I’m fated mates, and has repeatedly rebuffed his claim, keeping him pretty much at a distance as just a friend.

Someone from Scott’s past contacts him unexpectedly to give him a warning and then shows up in Mystic River only to die in the Sheriff’s office after scaring Kyra and uttering a warning to the baker ‘they are coming.’

Kyra is beyond over being treated like she’s dumb and having loved ones lie to her. She decides to confront them on their lies and take some control. This storyline is fast paced and full of suspense and secrets.

Reviewed in the United States 🇺🇸 on March 17, 2023

This book by Ms. James has it all. A dose of mystery, danger, secrets, twists and turns
and fighting family members. I wanted to savor this story but was pulled right into the
lives of the people of Mystic River. One could not deny the raw passion between Scott
and Kyra. It was addictive ,but would secrets pull them apart.

Crime in Mystic River was nonexistent until a dying stranger’s last words were to warn
Scott he was in danger. Scott was a Lynx shifter and Kyra’s fated mate. Scott’s past made
it dangerous for all of the residents of Mystic River. His only option was to go back with
the Shadow League and let fate decide his future.

The tether between Kyra and Scott was obvious, but how she struggled. Kyra frustrated
me at times, but her recent brush with death left her emotions in a swirl. She did not
acknowledge that Scott was her mate until his life was in danger. Was Kyra’s decision to
save Scott brave or foolish? Had she left it too late?

I feel that reading the books of this series in order will give you a better
understanding of the characters. I initially had difficulty connecting with Kyra,
but in time, I came to understand why she was so driven. She needed to prove
that she could accomplish everything a man could do and more.
