Tamed by a Tiger (Eternal Mates Paranormal Romance Series Book 13)

This is the thirteenth book in the Eternal Mates series. I loved it! August is a wonderful character. I really liked him. I met him briefly in Craved by an Alpha (Book 5) as he's Cavanaugh's cousin, so I'm glad to get to know him better. He has taken on the mantle of Alpha of the snow leopard pride due to Cavanaugh abdicating to be with Eloise as her mate. August finds being alpha rather stressful, so visits his cousin to ask his opinion and get advice. He wasn't looking for love, but when he meets a female tiger shifter, he is instantly attracted to her. However, there's a problem, she's been promised to a tiger of another pride. Maya is also another wonderful character that I liked. She is strong and feisty, but when her brother (and alpha) Byron insists she fulfil the pact that she marry the alpha of a rival pride made when she was born, she sets off to London with her brother Grey to say goodbye to her other brother, Talon. Knowing it's a political marriage, she is unprepared for the instant attraction she feels for her eternal mate, August. Will she follow her brother's instruction, or will she follow her heart? I absolutely love the Eternal Mates world. I started to read this book and I was quickly pulled in. It kept me riveted from beginning to end. The story is told through the eyes of both August and Maya, which gives the reader a chance to see their thoughts and feelings. The heat between the main characters blazed white hot. I would have liked to have had a scene where the two "meet" from August's POV. Maya's reaction was extreme, but August came across as rather cold and uncaring. Maybe this is because Maya realised he was her mate first. I don't really know. However, I felt that Maya came across as rather crazy. The transitional flow from that scene to the next was also not as smooth as it could have been. Having said that, I love the way the story swept me up and spit me out on a roller coaster ride of emotion. The characters living within the Eternal Mates universe have a strength within them that helps them to survive. However, they also have flaws and fears, which makes them lifelike and relatable. I did feel that this story was a little rushed and I would have loved for it to be a little longer, with more of a plot line or sub plot/ story arc as I feel this series is beginning to tire somewhat. Nevertheless, I can't wait to read Grey's story, which is the next book in the series and is due to be released on the 9th September 2017. Felicity Heaton has written another fast paced, sexy paranormal romance that I thoroughly enjoyed! I love her fast paced writing style, which flows effortlessly from scene to scene. She is on top of my favourite author's list. I do not recommend this book to younger readers due to the extremely HOT and explicit sexual scenes. However, I highly recommend this book (and series) if you love sexy paranormal romances full of vampires, elves, werewolves, cat shifters, succubi, incubi, angels, dragons, demons and demonesses. - Lynn Worton

Maya explodes off the page from the beginning drawing the reader deeply into her plight and her intoxication with August. This is one strong willed and tough lady who loves her family and will do whatever it takes to keep them safe. August is exhausted and stressed over being a new Alpha. He just needs a break and I am positive Maya was not what he had in mind. He is instantly drawn to her and his libido goes crazy. I thoroughly enjoyed the interaction between these two and how the author resolved this tense situation. Seriously I want a book on Maya's younger brother, Grey. Something about him calls to my heart. He was featuredn a lot in this book as a secondary character. I give this 5 STARS for being exciting, a little scary (you'll have to read the part about Pyotr), and a whole lot of hot. Received an advance reader copy in exchange for a fair review.

Tamed by a Tiger By: Felicity Heaton ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️.5 Star Review Another breathtaking installment of the Eternal Mates Series, Tamed by the Tiger is a tale to sink your teeth into… You gotta love a shifter…especially one as exotic as a snow leopard. Enter August, alpha of his pride and lover of women…until recently. A prominent ladies man before taking on the mantle of Alpha, August hasn’t had much of a “drive” with the stress of his new job and responsibilities. That is, until he meets a certain tiger shifter with eyes of amber and hair of ebony. Their mating is fated, but their timing is all wrong…he’s not looking for love and she is promised to another. When their fate pulls harder than they can fight, their attraction becomes much more and their responsibilities take on a whole new level of danger. As with the last installment, Tamed by a Tiger (lucky #13 in the series), is an amazing adventure! The cover is as delectably delicious as the last, with a gorgeous cover model and tantalizing details. The blurb grabs you, pulls you in, and makes you want to one click that book. With plenty of action, adventure, danger, and sex, this book has it all. The characters were fabulous. Well developed, full of life, heart, and strength, these guys made you love them. The plot and storyline held me captivated from beginning to end, and every page was a new step toward that happy ending. I can't wait to see what Ms. Heaton comes up with next. Kristie K

Maya is on her way to meet her future husband, respecting her family's wishes for her to marry the leader of another pride. But first, she needs to say goodbye to her brother so she stops at Underworld for one last goodbye. August needs some advice. When he took the tittle of Alpha, he knew the duties but that didn't prepare him for it so he goes into Underworld looking for answers and a little time away. When the two of them meet, everything breaks lose. Maya's insticts get to her and August wants her at first sight. I loved how strong Maya is. While the youngs and most vulnerable in her family, she proves to be a great warrior and leader. She's willing to go and leave her family and everything she's ever known to keep her people safe, even when everything points to her future husband being a cruel and ruthless tiger. What I also really enjoyes was watching her being the stronger of the pair with August, the difference in their species making the tiger in her need no help. Maya can take care of herself and is not only a great warrior, but a good strategist. August is willing to summit and accept that, taking her as his equal and providing whatever she needs. And you get to see Maya's brothers again! Talon makes an appearence, brooding and silent as usual but the reader can see how much he cares for his little sister and jow torn he is over handing her off. Grey is more present here, and the dynamic between him and Maya had me grinning all the time. We get to read and learn more about him and I can't wait to read his story. Tamed by a Tiger has the sexy fast paced romance Felicity Heaton has the reader acostum while bringing a bit of girl power to the pages in a world dominated by strong males. It doesn't add to the world they live in but is a great adition to the series non the less. As always, I can't wait for the next one.

3.5 stars---TAMED BY A TIGER is the thirteenth installment in Felicity Heaton’s contemporary, adult ETERNAL MATES paranormal/fantasy romance series. This is snow leopard shifter August, and tiger shifter Maya’s story line. TAMED BY A TIGER can be read as a stand alone without any difficulty. Any important information from the previous story lines is revealed where necessary. Told from dual third person perspectives (Maya and August) TAMED BY A TIGER follows snow leopard shifter August as he must come to terms with his position as Alpha within the pride-a reluctant alpha who stepped in when the reigning alpha walked away to be with the woman he loved. What August never expected to find in London at the supernatural shifter bar Underworld, was the woman that called to the leopard within. Maya was a tiger shifter, and promised to another male. Snow leopard laws forbid August to choose a mate outside of his species but August knew that Maya was his female to claim. When Maya leaves to be mated to another male, August suspects not all is right, and sets into motion a plan to rescue his fated mate. TAMED BY A TIGER, like many of Felicity’s previous installments, is more of a narrative; a story that reveals the inner most thoughts, emotions and struggles of two shifters whose lives will be changed in the blink of an eye. There is limited communication between any of the characters, including our leading couple; most of the story line is told through introspective thoughts and meanderings as Maya and August battle for control of their hearts and emotions. The lone $ex scene is intimate and intense. August’s snow leopard needs to claim Maya as his mate. TAMED BY A TIGER is an action packed story of family and fated mates; of shifter values and traditions; of changes to formerly staunch rules and regulations. The premise is fast paced and entertaining; the romance is limited to internal thoughts as the couple spends a good portion of the story line apart.

Tamed by a Tiger was a pleasant addition to the Eternal Mates series. We do meet both Maya and August in previous books, but even if you haven’t read any of the previous books you can still pick this one up and go. August is taking a break from Alpha of his pride. He’s come to visit his cousin and get advice. He’s feeling bogged down with the responsibilities of running and leading a pride of Snow Leopards. Maya is stopping off in London to say good-bye to her brother; before heading on her way to an arranged mating to another Tiger Alpha. She feels it’s her duty to protect the pride by going through with the mating. I had a delightful time reading this one. It’s an action-packed adventure with strong characters who end up learning to fight for what they need to be happy in life. These two go through a number of emotions. Maya is very and I mean very determined to go through with the arranged mating and August, as leader, is expect to take a Snow Leopard as a mate. Their doesn’t seam to be a way out for either of them. The thing that bothered me was Maya's inner dialogue, the determination to go through with the mating, and sacrifice so much. It just got to be too much. Her bloodline is unique and it makes her different. She’s powerful, strong, and alpha, but she was giving up instead of standing up for herself and what she really wanted in life. Sacrifice is all and good, but when your brothers are warning you not to do this.. Well maybe you should listen. She did finally come to her senses, but not until after meeting her betrothed male, who btw is not a nice Alpha, does she make a plan to stand up and fight. Tamed by a Tiger has a hint of danger and plenty of heat. I’m looking forward to the next installment. Rated: 3 Stars *Disclaimer: I received a complimentary copy provided by Felicity Heaton with the sole purpose of an honest review. All thoughts, comments and ratings are my own.

Felicity Heaton’s ETERNAL MATES series tends to return to characters whom we’ve encountered along the way which is a brilliant strategy because no matter how fleeting their appearance was in a previous installment, readers know that every (dog) cat has its day. TAMED BY A TIGER was the perfect example of this with Talon’s sister front-and-center, and plenty of other kitty shifters along for the ride. This book touches base with Cavanaugh’s pride following his abdication to August as alpha. I liked seeing how his cousin was faring in his new leadership role, and his response when confronted with a similar dilemma to the one that had caused his predecessor to step down. He’s burdened by his responsibilities, seeks advice at Underworld, and the protagonist’s approach to solving his predicament is very different than his pridemate’s. I wasn’t sure how Maya would make out as this novel’s female lead because out of all the tigers that were introduced in the earlier volume, she stood out the least in my eyes. But, her sparring match with August, and her love-him-and-leave-him attitude won me over after the first one hundred pages. She may have been overshadowed by her brothers for most of her life however, when it was time to step up, she did so without hesitation. Maya actually showing up for her arranged marriage came as a bit of a surprise. I’d thought that August would have thrown a wrench into that plan much sooner, although admittedly, his dramatic entrance to snatch her from Pyotr’s arms on her wedding day ratcheted up the entertainment value tenfold. I was also very excited to learn that the author granted my wish—Grey will be headlining in the next title scheduled for September! If you need to give in to love, TAMED BY A TIGER is not a bad way to go!

Oh, my god, this book was AMAZINGGGGGGGG !!!!! Maya is one tough lioness, and oh she isn't just a lioness, but I can't tell you what she is. Of course with brothers like Grey and Talon, she has to be tough right? Well, Maya made a deal to become the mate of an Alpha of a pride. And now she finds herself with one big problem. August: Yep the snow leopard whose family works at the club. Alpha through and through. And he will show you exactly what he is made of. This is one hot, sexy, funny and fierce couple... By far so the best in this series. I likely have said that about many of them haha. I just love this authors stories.
