Synopsis (Goodreads):

Jaguar shifter Stella Moore has one thing on her mind - to take down the anti-shifter organization that destroyed her family. Her plans are going perfectly until a sexy-as-sin stranger throws off her game and decides the only way they can both avoid getting caught is to claim her as his girlfriend. Wait! What? Now she has to fly to a tropical island and play along because the alternative is...deadly.

Most people know Cole Turner as an uber-wealthy playboy - not as a tiger shifter who's part of a special ops team to protect his kind. Now his undercover mission has been compromised by a redheaded bombshell, and every animal instinct he has is screaming mate. To survive among so many enemies, they'll have to keep up their romantic act, find their intel... and absolutely not fall in love along the way.

Thoughts on Tiger's Claim: MAN, those SHOC guys can be clueless, can't they? They just barrel along (I'm looking at ALL of them, mind you) without realizing what it is they have in their hands or how to use a little diplomacy to bring another person around to their way of thinking. Not that I expected anything different from them, BUT STILL.

In this case, Cole has a vengeful jaguar shifter who REALLY wants to take her pound of flesh from the man who she perceives as destroying her family (I'm a little torn on whether he should be her entire focus considering he's just one cog in a big machine, but I can also see why she had him in her metaphorical crosshairs). The thing is, while Stella has her reasons for going after the bad guy, Cole's right when he pointed out (more than once) that she's not trained for this.

She nearly gets herself caught/captured more than once. Which is NOT a good thing when the people you're up against want to cause serious hurt to shifters any way they can. Being in danger also tends to send overprotective males into a bit of a frenzy and then they make sweeping declarations and do bone-headed things all in the name of keeping their special someone safe.

GOOD TIMES!

I'm enjoying this series. The bad guys are repulsive. The good guys sometimes have to do bad things for the greater good. There's a little mystery and a lot of sexy times. And, I dunno, there's a certain someone on Team Three that I think everyone needs to keep their eye on.
