Can't Prove Shift (The Protectors Unlimited Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Keira Blackwood (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars 382 ratings
Caitlyn Moreno’s no stranger to trouble. It’s part of the job for any cat burglar, let alone a thief who’s literally a cat. Well, ocelot shifter. No lock is beyond her capabilities, no mark beyond her reach. When rumor has it that the priceless Vandervelt brooch will be kept for two nights in a hotel safe, guarded by shifter mafia, Lyn is compelled to make it hers. One mistake could cost Lyn her life, or worse, land her drugged, tossed in a crate, and dressed as… a bride?

When Tribunal enforcer Mason Blake returns home to his Alaskan cabin from a stressful assignment, he looks forward to a peaceful, quiet break. Alone. But a surprise late-night delivery leaves the anti-social polar bear shifter in an impossible situation—a gorgeous woman on his doorstep. Shut the door or let her in? Either way, she’s bound to be trouble.

    Can't Prove Shift starts off somewhat confusing. Pay attention to the Point of View- it changes periodically. Lyn, a shifter, is caught as she tries to rob Salvatore Girardo, is drugged, and awakens in a coffin dressed as a bride. Mason Blake meets her under unfavorable conditions when he opens the coffin and she thinks he is responsible for her condition. Fortunately, it doesn't take long for them to realize they are fated mates and take revenge on the perpetrators of Lyn's abductors. Note: there is a LOT of hot, passionate sex, all steamily consensual, and erotically described. There is abundant action, magic, and paranormal happenings. Some shifters fight for good (most of the time) but some shifters are evil villains. It's a rousing, exciting story. BTW, you can get this and two other Protectors Unlimited books in The Protectors Unlimited Box Set

    A fun, first book in the series – a polar bear and an ocelot meet under unusual circumstances and get to know one another in the cold weather of Alaska. Adventure, in the form of a crime syndicate that cannot let go, provides an interesting storyline.

    Possible spoilers and rants.

    He's traumatized for not saving a woman in a box and slams the door on a woman, in a wedding dress, in a box. Yes, he thinks she'll survive the cold since he smells she's a cat shifter but for a man who investigates human trafficking, you think it would have set off alarms. His mate is delivered and he's so disappointed that she's not a box of steaks he goes back to bed. What happened to finding mates being a driving force? No one ever questions where was she supposed to delivered to? Catching human traffickers is important but you would think they would also be interested in who buys another person and how the transaction was accomplished.

    A Ocelot and a Polar Bear???? What's the world coming to, how could she not purr at the sight of him, he is so big & hot!

    Lyn thought she had been trafficed and sold to this hunk, but he just closed the door on her! Purrfect, she could just shift into her ocelot and get out of there......No way, it's too cold with no where to go.....

    Mason Drake and especially his Polar Bear loved it out here in the Alaskan wilderness with no one around for miles. Then his tranquility is turned around with just a knock on his door....Who can this woman be, just a figment of his sleepy imagination.....But it keeps bugging him so he goes out to look for her and finds a curled up Kitty, she is soooooo cute and freezing, so he takes her in to his cabin.

    Little did these two imagine that their lives would become so intertwined in both love and work.

    Can't Prove Shift is a paranormal romantic suspense by Keira Blackwood. Ms. Blackwood has provided readers with a well-written book. The characters in this book are fantastic and make it a fun read. Mason is sickened by what he's sent to clean up, trafficking women and children is the worst. When he arrives home after his mission he relaxes in his home on the top of a mountain. Lyn is delivered to Mason's home in a crate after being abducted and sold, she attacks Mason as soon as the crate is opened. Mason and Lyn's story is loaded with drama, humor, sizzle, action and suspense. I enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from Keira Blackwood in the future. Can't Prove Shift is book 1 of The Protectors Unlimited Series but can be read as a standalone. This is a complete book, not a cliff-hanger.

    I really loved this book about Mason and Lyn. It’s very rare to find a book about two different species of shifters. Usually one is a human. How the characters gel together and want to be better for each other is lovely. And Lyn even manages to bring some manners and refinement into his life. They make a perfect couple and the heat is there from the beginning. A very well written and fast paced read, with plenty of action for both main characters.

    Can’t Prove Shift – The Protectors unlimited book 1 - Keira Blackwood

    Our FMC, Caitlyn (Lyn) Moreno is an Ocelot shifter who has lived a solitary existence after being orphaned as a young child. She bounced around the system, never really finding a family that was a good fit. She became a solo cat burglar which enabled her to live the (relatively) good life, until one bad decision puts her at the mercy of a mafia type pack of wolf shifters with only sinister intentions!

    Our male protector in this book is a Polar Bear shifter named Mason Blake. He’s happiest when he is in his Alaskan cabin away from the people and the stress of assignments, he is in the shifter world, the equivalent of the FBI. He basically gets the bad guys!

    As Mason discovers a mystery delivery at his front door, he opens it thinking someone has sent him a gift of steak. He’s pretty shocked when it turns out to be a woman, and a beautiful and feisty one at that! Mason soon discovers she is also a shifter, but what kind? He senses feline and he would be not far wrong there!

    The usual antics that come with a crime family and male protagonist are here, along with some lively characters and excellent world building. There are a couple of fairly steamy scenes between our unlikely shifter couple that oddly work and are hot yet endearing all at once! It does make this however, an 18+ read.

    Cute story and a fast page turner. I gave it four stars!
