Claimed by her Cougar: A Fated Mates Shifter Romance (Cougar Creek Mates Shifter Romance Series Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 out of 5 stars 2,002 ratings

Rath is one cougar shifter not looking for a mate... until Ivy strays into his territory. Having lost his parents and mate in a brutal attack on his cougar shifter pride by a hunter organisation, Rath burns with a need to keep humans off his land and out of his life. He’ll do whatever it takes to protect his pride from them, but when a lone female wanders into his territory, it isn’t a burning need to drive her away he’s feeling and it isn’t his pride that needs protecting—it’s his heart.

Down on her luck, Ivy follows a lead to a spot where she hopes to photograph black bears, but what she discovers there is a mountain of a man who lacks manners and seems determined to drive her off his property—a man who stirs unbidden fire in her veins and a strange sense of home.

With a pride gathering on the verge of happening at Cougar Creek and the air charged with a mating heat, the last thing Rath needs is a human on his land, especially one as beautiful and alluring as Ivy, one who rouses a fierce need to fight for her, but he can’t convince himself to let her go… and that proves dangerous for them both.

    I started reading Claimed by her Cougar in the late afternoon on 11/3 and ended up finishing it at midnight 11/4. I would’ve finished it sooner, but the life of a mom/wife on a Saturday never ends. 🙂 I have to take breaks from reading to take of responsibilities around the house.

    Claimed by her Cougar is the first book in Felicity Heaton’s Cougar Creek Mates series. Now that she has 4 books in the series out, I’m going to read them back to back.

    The first book in the series introduces Rath one of the cougar shifters who is responsible for the cabins at Cougar Creek and protecting the pride from being discovered by humans. The last time humans knew where the cougar pride was when his parents were killed by hunters. He ends up finding a human female on his property near the river and he’s determined to drive her away, but for some reason, she intrigues him. Ivy is a photographer who was told that black bears would be around the creek that she currently is at. She is determined to take photos to redeem her love for photography again and get some amazing photos to her sponsors. She never thought she would come across an ill-mannered man who is determined to drive her off the property. He’s a sexy ill-mannered man though that is hard to resist though.

    This is when you either have a love or hate relationship with Rath in the story because Ivy is such a sweet girl. He has every reason to drive her away though because humans tend to be hunters and he’s afraid Ivy is a hunter. He also doesn’t want her around, when the full pride gets together for the mating season. He doesn’t want a bunch of cougar shifter males being around Ivy because it makes them go crazy and start fighting each other.

    Rath though does start to show another side of himself with Ivy, especially when he realizes why she is there and how well she fits in at Cougar Creek. Although, Rath is stubborn several times in the story and Ivy tries to reassure him why she’s there.

    This is an instant-love story, so readers that enjoy instant-love stories will definitely enjoy this book. Other readers may think it’s too soon, but Rafe and Ivy definitely fit well with each other. I adored them in the story and wish I could have had more of them. The drama in the story went by quickly though and I kind of had an idea on who the bad guy(s) were in the story after Ivy started explaining about her down of the luck trouble she’s been having and why she ended up at Cougar Creek.

    I give this book 4.5 stars and have actually already started reading the next book in the series. I’m always excited to read Felicity’s books because, when I’m in a reading funk I know her books can get me out of the funk. Thank goodness for Felicity’s addicting paranormal stories because I definitely have gotten out one of the longest reading funks this year thanks to her.

    4.5 out of 5 stars
    Welcome to Cougar creek, a secluded area in the Canadian Rockies for a good reason . This is cougar territory but there are more to these cougars then meets the eye . Lets meet Rath a surly , sexy man who doesn't want humans on his land and Ivy the woman that will capture more then the bears she is going to photograph . With the gathering happening and the sexual tension heating up between the two of them . Will they survive the onslaught of what is to come and will they survive each other .
    I must say when I found out that the author had written a new series with cougar shifters . Well I thought if they are going to be anything like the vampires from her other series . We would be in for a roller coaster ride of emotion that would keep you on the edge of your seat . They would also melt your kindle at the same time . She didn't disappoint one bit . The characters are complex and well lets just say hot as sin . Rath is a mountain of man , who is sexy as sin and oh so broody . One moment you want to smack him upside the head and the next moment you want to climb him like a spider monkey in heat. Yes he is that sexy . But there is more to this mountain of a man . He has some heartache that has made him distrust any human that he comes in contact with . He would rather be by himself then mate with anyone . Until Ivy , I really liked her , she is spunky and sweet . She is such a good character . She will stand her ground when she needs to but also is a little unsure of herself . You really just want to wrap her up in a blanket and hug her tight .She does surprise us though and really starts to stand up and kick butt towards the end of the book She shows that she is tougher then she looks and wants what she wants and will go after it . They are great characters alone but when they are together they are hot and I mean hot.
    This was a really good read , I read it in an afternoon I just couldn't put it down . The author takes us on a rollercoaster ride . I really love the fact the author is using the Canadian Rockies as the back drop . Being a Canadian girl that makes me so happy . I also liked how the author slowly and steadily builds the story and takes us along for the ride . There are hot scenes that will melt your kindle and she also adds some intrigue and danger too. I so can't wait to read the rest of the series and meet the rest of the brothers . I know they will be as hot as Rath . So if you want a great series to heat up your fall nights check out this series . I promise you will not be disappointed

    Ich bin ein Fan von Felcity Heatons Büchern. Und diese neue Serie ist wirklich gut für zwischendurch. Wie schon mit der Eternal Mates Serie angefangen, geht es auch am Cougar Creek weiter mit den Jägern der Archangel Gruppe.
    Rath, ein Puma-Schifter, lebt seit dem Angriff auf ihn, seine Familie und das Rudel, abgeschieden in der Wildnis Kanadas. Kurz bevor sich das Puma-Rudel dort für ein jährliches Treffen zusammenfindet, taucht eine Fotografin auf, die die Bären der Gegend ablichten will. Natürlich ist Rath misstrauisch und will Ivy so schnell wie möglich wieder los werden. Aber das ist einfacher, als gedacht. Denn je länger Ivy in der Nähe ist, umso mehr will er, dass sie bleibt. Doch dann taucht jemand aus der Vergangenheit auf, der alles ändern kann.
    Ich fand die Entwicklung zwischen Ivy und Rath ganz witzig. Wie er versuchte, Ivy loszuwerden und im gleichen Moment doch bei sich zu behalten. Und wie Ivy mit den Tagen immer mehr merkt, dass sie sich zu dem großen, bärtigen Einsiedler mit den grauen Augen hingezogen fühlt. Bis es dann zum Showdown kommt und beide Angst darum haben, den jeweils Anderen zu verlieren.
    Es ist eine recht kurze Geschichte, die sich flüssig lesen lässt. Der Schreibstil ist sehr angenehm und auch wenn man mal absetzt, findet man schnell wieder in die Geschichte hinein.
    Für ein Wochenende oder einen freien Tag genau richtig.

    I have bought all of Felicity Heatons books because she’s a fab romance writer and all her stories keep you hooked from the ‘get go’.
    In this first book, in a new series about cougar shifters you will find that this story has everything, hot, intense shifters and strong minded, determined women. With danger, intrigue ‘just around the corner’, sassy dialogue to keep you going, it’s all set in a beautiful, scenic, mountainous forestry location, this is a love story that has everything, including the HEA, what more could paranormal lovers want?
    Without ruining the book by giving away too much of the story, what I can say is, if you possess an open mind and, a love of paranormal romance, then you’ll love this book! This series centers a round sexy, cougar shifter males encountering their fated female mates and of course, keeping them.
    The heroine in this story is Ivy, a fiercely independent, struggling, wildlife photographer, looking for her next big break. Hoping that a photographic series on black bears in the wild will be the one to bring in her next much needed paycheck, this naturally dominant female sets off with her camping gear on an unbeknownst life-changing journey, determined that she’ll get her pictures ‘come hell or high water’. The deliciously haaaawt Rath, is the cougar pack leader, a loaner by choice and past circumstance. He’s deep, moody and has intense down to a fine art, of course he has to be ‘built’ and ‘sexy with it’, how can Ivy be able to resist all that?
    Rath still hasn’t gotten over a devastating past so he’s fiercely territorial, protective and, determined to keep his land and pride from being exposed to the hunters and other humans that had once shattered their lives. His pride is imminently approaching for their annual gathering of the mating heat, so discovering a beautiful human woman who happens to be his fated mate wandering lost on his lands was the last thing he ever thought would ever happen to him. Can he fight it? Does he really want to? Life is all about twists and turns and the Law of Chaos and throwing spanners in the works, isn’t it?
    Great series if you love Paranormal Romance, well written, totally recommend!
