Description from the publisher:
Kelli and Chase grew up together and know the rules: when he comes of age, he’s got to choose a shifter to bond with, period. And Kelli’s not a shifter. There isn’t any way around biology.

But chemistry is something else entirely, and Kelli did the one thing she never thought she could do—move to the city to escape it. Her feelings left her no other choice. It was the only way she could see for Chase to follow his shifter destiny.

Now, Chase is getting a divorce from the shifter who was supposed to be his bonded mate, and some crazy friend of his Grandma is telling him he can bond with humans. It’s not the way things have always been in their little shifter community, but Geri Wilder keeps telling him they’ve been doing things backward.

Now that Kelli is back, Chase is angry and confused, seeing the truth of the mistakes they’ve made. However, Kelli is only in town to plan her wedding.

To someone else.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

FATED TO MATE is the eighth book in the Paranormal Dating Agency series, but the first from Anne Conley. Each stands on its own, but I highly recommend all that I have read.

This series was begun by Milly Taiden and is a favorite of mine.  Anne Conley is another favorite of mine.  It’s like chocolate and peanut butter becoming a Reese’s cup.  It’s just that good and could become that addictive! 

Ms. Conley has picked up the character of Geri Wilder and run with her to visit a town of cougar shifters in need of her services.  A town where they don’t even know they can claim their human mates.  Chase and Kelli were lucky to have Geri Wilder to explain that their feelings are those of fated mates.  After ten years apart, they have a second chance to get it right. 

I loved the way that my emotions were twisted and torn as I read this story.

Description from the publisher:
A ONE-NIGHT STAND with a handsome stranger wasn't a problem--until he tried to STEAL her company.

A Driven CEO

Ambitious, high-powered CEO Lauren Bradley is one press release away from catapulting her company, Interstellar Corp, to new heights. Her industry-leading team is on the verge of unveiling new, cutting-edge technology that will revolutionize travel as the world knows it.
The one thing not going according to plan…Lauren’s love life.

But a hot hook-up with a stranger from the hotel bar could change everything.

A Ruthless Rival

When Lauren is ambushed the next morning, she comes face to face with Antonio Forte, the reclusive CEO of Cozza Industries, Interstellar’s biggest rival.

Antonio’s arrogant, controlling, and sexy. She should know, since Antonio is the one-night stand she thought she’d never see again.

He makes it very clear that he wants Interstellar just as much as he wants Lauren and he’ll stop at nothing to make it happen. But she’ll do whatever it takes to keep her company―and the ground-breaking innovation they’ve discovered.

Neither of them will back down. Both are used to winning. But surrendering can be so delicious.

Let the games begin…

Acquisition is the first book in the Takeover Duet.

USA Today bestselling author Chelle Bliss currently lives in a small town near the Gulf of Mexico. She's a full-time writer, time-waster extraordinaire, social media addict, and coffee fiend. She's written over ten books and has two series available. She loves spending her free time with her boyfriend, 2 cats, and her hamster.

Before becoming a writer, Chelle taught high school history for over ten years. She holds a master's degree in Instructional Technology and a bachelor's in History. Although history is her first love, writing has become her dream job and she can't imagine doing anything else.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

ACQUISITION is the first of the two books in the Takeover Duet.  They must be read in the order of release.

The only thing I dislike about this book is that I have to wait for the next one!

One of the things I truly like about this billionaire love story is that they are both billionaires.  They are both alpha.  They are both hot, sexy, on unfamiliar ground in this relationship they are building.  I love that he is chasing her and she is the one that is more guarded.  I love that sex isn’t the deciding factor in making their decisions.  Yes, they lust for one another and the relationship is hot as Hade’s coals, but they are also using their heads with each other and their businesses.  I cannot wait to see where they take us next!

I never wish the days of my life away, but I am certainly counting down the days until MERGER is released!

Note:  while I was given this book as a gifted ARC, my opinions are my own and are given freely.
