Description from the publisher:
Living the #badgerlife includes free tacos, new besties, and a walk-on role in a firefighter calendar shoot.

Weasels are terrible. Unwanted weasel fiancés are worse. Magic ensures shapeshifter Natalie won’t be found by her betrothed as long as she remains in her honey badger form. But her cover is blown when she shifts in a hot firefighter’s bathroom and he emerges from the shower to find her standing there--very human, very curvy, and very naked.

After his years-long stint as a pie-stealing vulture, tiger shifter Grant is free of his curse. No one understands what he’s been through, or what it’s like to be trapped in a body that doesn’t belong to them. Until a roly-poly honey badger climbs through his window. She’s on the run and she’s just as lost as Grant, and he’ll do anything to keep her safe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

DESTINED IN FORBIDDEN is the seventh book in the Alphas & Alchemy:  Fierce Mates series.  The final tale in the Alphas & Alchemy: Fierce Mates series has arrived, and the ride is wilder than ever!
 
I love the instant chemistry between Grant and Natalie.  I love that they didn’t fight it.  I love that Natalie is so instantly accepted into the pack and she has such a quirky sense of humor that she had me giggling as I read.
 
I loved the unique demons in this story.  They reminded me of the Tribbles in the classic Star Trek story – cute but extremely annoying.  First there was one, then two, then three – then came big mamma! 
 

I definitely recommend this final installment in this series.  It was wonderfully written and had a satisfying HEA.  The bad news:  this is the final book in this series…. And that made me sad.  I thought we were leaving Forbidden and all of our friends.  The good news:  We will be returning to Forbidden for a new series called Forbidden Fangs – the name of the new tattoo parlor in town.  I’m looking forward to it and returning to our friends again!
 
Note:  While I received this book as a gifted ARC via Booksprout, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
