Add to Goodreads
Riot is a Phantom Warrior, a shifter, from the planet Zaron. He has been sent here by the Atlantean King Eros to find a mate. Females are rare on Zaron and in their travels the warriors discovered that the females on Earth were a compatible species. It’s vital to save their race from extinction.
At six and a half feet tall and 280 lbs. Riot is a bear of a man. Most females are afraid of him. He doesn’t hold out much hope of finding a mate until he spots Nina. Could she be the one?
Nine Whitetail is one of the People of the Cherokee Nation. She has a lot on her plate right now. Her veterinary clinic needs more customers or she’ll have to shut her doors, her beloved grandfather, Harold Twofeathers, lies dying in the hospital, and the damn poachers are back in the Rocky Mountain National Park, setting deadly snares and traps in the hopes of nabbing a bear or two.
To top it all off, her best friend Kim is getting married soon and will be moving away. The two friends go out in the woods one last time, seeking the poachers traps and destroying them. They end up running from flying bullets and separate to confuse the poachers hell-bent on killing them.
Nina gets turned around in the forest and stops to catch her breath. Out of the shadows steps a huge bear. No bear could possibly be this massive. Her grandfather told her the legend of the Great Bear who will take you to the stars, never to return. They are the size of Woolly Mammoths.
When the bear speaks to her, Nina’s certain the bear is either the one of legend or she’s losing her mind.
What a rush. This is a fast-moving story. It’s complimented by well-developed characters and a great plot line. It may be about two souls seeking love, but there is so much more going on.
I don’t know how the author did it. She managed to introduce me to a new world, gave me action, adventure, suspense galore, plus made me fall in love with the characters. I even felt a connection to the peripheral characters . And the ending, it was different. Near the end I was thinking, “I don’t want it to end,” and it didn’t. Not right there. Jordan wrapped it up so nicely, putting a bow on top. I can’t wait to unwrap the other stories in this series.
Four stars for this one!
Oh yeah, forgot to mention. I didn’t realize this was a series and was so happy when I found out it was. The other thing I found out was it was the sixth book in the series. Yes, that means they can all stand alone! Love it.
I know what I’m going to be asking Santa for on Christmas. Good thing I’ve been a good girl! 
I would recommend this to mature readers as there are some explicit sexual scenes in the book.
