Description from the publisher:

Joss Warren packs her bags to head off to the unforgiving wilds of Montana where she's got a job as the new chef of Black Claw Ranch. Secretly, she hopes to heal her broken heart and learn more about her people. She's heard about the good folks of Bearden, Montana. They are kind and generous, so people say. But her first run-in with a growly cowboy has her wondering if that's just a tall tale.

City-girl Joss has never met a man as rugged as Hunter Shaw.

Tall, tatted, and Montana-tough, Hunter made his name riding bulls on the rodeo circuit. Nowadays, the handsome cowboy wrangles cows and tourists at the Bear Claw Ranch. Hunter is as wild and untamed as the Montana lands.

Joss is sure his sultry gaze promises wicked pleasure. But Hunter hides a dangerous side and Joss can't risk her fragile heart.

Hunter, a bear shifter, understands horses and hard work. Not women. He's had his heart broken and stomped on one too many times. But there's something about the pesky, smart-mouthed red-head that wakens his bear. She's wary though. The gorgeous, curvy girl is afraid.

Of him.

And maybe for good reason. If he were a gentleman, he'd give his skittish girl some room. And maybe he is a gentleman, but now's not the time to find out. When traffickers stalk his pretty little mate, his animal ditches all good manners.

His snarling bear is ready to mate, ready for cubs and family. He vows to hunt down any threat to keep his female safe...

---
Step into the world of Shifting Destinies, where the men and women you meet might just be a little more than human. Their towns are protected by magic, and their hearts are open and ready for love. But watch your step - more than darkness lurks in the shadows.

SPURRED FATE is the second book in the Black Claw Ranch series.  Though each will stand on its own, it would be better to have read them all and in the order of release. 



This is a spin-off series, and you will revisit characters – I have not read the other books, but I know I bumped into some dragons, bears, wolves, and lions that must have their own stories.  I wish I could read them all!



I loved this story of new beginnings – making your own path – defining your own destiny.  Joss and Hunter are complex characters, but Cecilia Lane did an amazing job of presenting their twisted “meet cute,” relationship, and drama.  There was plenty of sexy, swearing (or not!), and laughs in this enjoyable, entertaining paranormal suspense romance.



Cecilia Lane is a new-to-me author and I look forward to reading more of her world.



Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
