Four years ago, Richie met a group of Tulane freshmen when he saved one of them from a mugger.

Now the first of their menagerie is getting married.

Surprise of all surprises, Richie meets his mate, Piper, at the wedding in Missouri, of all places.

He didn’t expect her to be a bounty hunter or that her murderous prey had turned the tables and she was now the hunted.

Will Piper apprehend her bounty or will her bounty get to her first?

Can Richie save her from the death he foresaw in a premonition?

Injuries are mounting and time is running out. 
Excerpt 
As quietly as possible he slipped in and searched for an open seat. A hasty scan of the room showed only one vacant chair. Great, obviously he was the last person to arrive. Without causing too much disturbance, he walked to the front of the room and took his seat between Billie and Karen.
Piper’s gaze had swung to the double doors the instant they cracked open. She scrutinized the man slipping in. A relieved breath escaped the instant she got a good look at him, and verified it wasn’t Qball crashing the dinner. But for some reason, the stranger raised a flock of birds in her stomach. She never reacted to strangers so strongly.
She didn’t dare look too closely. The last thing she needed was this guy catching her gawking at him. Her aunt always said she started flirting the instant she left the womb. Flirting, my ass, she thought, shaking her head to herself. Her aunt never could tell the difference between profiling and flirting. She’d been profiling people her entire life. That was one of the reasons she’d gone into her chosen profession.

Experience taught her the best way to guard her heart was to thoroughly study the enemy and be prepared. And that was what she intended to do.
Too many of the opposite sex came armed with charm and playful banter. The problem was, most of the time the guy was faking it to get into the girl’s pants. But this guy looked like no one she’d ever seen. For some reason he didn’t fit her normal profile.
She glanced his way out of the corner of her eye as he took the empty chair at her table. His manicured five o’clock shadowed jaw was well defined and he had perfectly sculpted lips. But it was his eyes that captured her attention, a warm brown color with flecks of gold. To complete her assessment, she forced her gaze from his face.
Nice, he had a head of gorgeous dark brown hair. It wasn’t long by any means, just long enough to sink her fingers into. Where the hell did that come from?
Richie was relieved to see Helen, Karen and Billie were seated at his table. Thank Goddess, he had someone to talk to. He smiled brightly and was nodding his hellos when a delectable scent tickled his nose. He smelled the most mouthwatering crawfish boil - ever. He glanced at the woman across the round table, his breath hitched, and his heart constricted. Holding her gaze, his nostrils flared as he breathed her in.
MATE!

Her eyes widened and she quickly looked around. She must have heard him telepathically and was searching for someone near who may have spoken. Odds were she didn’t understand what she’d experienced and was suspicious.
Frowning, she turned her attention back to the table. Then she caught herself and carefully straightened her napkin in her lap while she fixed a pleasant smile on her face. Satisfied she managed to appear outwardly calm, she glanced up and froze.
For the first time, she took in his entire face, where before she’d been analyzing each feature separately. The man who joined the table right before she swore she heard a voice in her head was gorgeous. Not just hot, but please God, let me strip him naked and lick him, gorgeous.
He must be an actor or a model. She racked her brain, but she couldn’t remember her cousin, Bob, ever saying he knew someone famous.
 

My Review

Ok I absolutely love Richie!! I think he may be the sweetest of them all so far. He's so gentle and charming. And I think Piper is bad ass. She is a force. But we are on a road trip for a good bit of this one but let me say I think we have met Etienne's mate in this one!! I seriously hope I'm right :) 

Richie is smart and sweet and of course gorgeous. He's a master at being charismatic and loves people. He's also in trouble with Piper lol he's not one to let the lady do the heavy lifting but he starts to see that she needs to have her own independence. I loved his little secret friend watching over her. It the fact that there's another hawt wolf who needs help is going to make another sexy book to come. :) 

Piper is seriously a good heroine in her own right. She's not scared or shy or embarrassed and she knows what she wants. But she's struggling to see a future with Richie- in the beginning. Her crazy stalker is just creepy. And I loved that she was willing to put herself at risk for the guy- it's usually the other way around. 

And then when we finally make it home to the south, things heat up- but not the humidity lol the real action happens and we get to see some of our favorites return to help out. I of course love this whole series and the writing is fantastic as usual! I will continue to praise this series because it's the perfect paranormal romance and I love that it's set near my home :) so of course I give this one 5 WOLFY PAWS!!

My review 

I absolutely love this series! Lucas has been going all over the world learning to be a rancher. He's been learning how to support and give back to his family. However he's going from Louisiana to Texas. I missed my hawt men but Lucas makes up for it. And he got Krystal away from her psycho mom! Lucas is a hard worker and he loves what he's built. And it was an accident his mate walked in, or rather into him. Haha he wasn't expecting it, but Krystal and her new friend are plotting. Her new friend has a sister, kensie, and she's Lucas's mate. 

Kensie is a very important doctor. She has had a struggling in life so she does everything for her baby sister and her career. Lucas is a big distraction she doesn't need. She is focused. He ruins that lol. She's a smart independent stubborn woman. And she's met her match. Lucas is the perfect guy. He's sweet, determined, caring and considerate. Oh and he's down right sexy. Yeah this one is really hot! 

I liked this one for the fact that there's a building plot. Lucas is trying to get his ranch up and running, kensie is trying to figure her life and career out and both of them stumble along the way. There's a great romance in this. It's a great addition to the le beau brothers but it's also a start to a new companion series. No worries I will be stalking both series because they are just awesome! Though I miss my Louisiana boys, it's great for a road trip :)! I can't wait for more!! 5 PAWS!!

Excerpt

It became glaringly obvious very quickly; men found her intimidating. She was too smart, too successful, too rich, too fat, and way too outspoken. Kensie never saw a reason to mince words, so she said it like it was. Apparently, people, especially men, didn’t care for that. Too flippin' bad, she was too old to change now.
A quick look around told her the barn was behind the incredible house she parked in front of. From where she stood, all she could see was a huge hipped roof. That had to be where Jojo was. She estimated the shortest path was around the attached four-car garage. Straightening her sunglasses, she headed toward the corner with determined purpose. The sooner she located Jojo, the sooner she could get into air conditioning.
Distracted by the beautiful landscape, Kensie didn’t watch where she was going. She rounded the corner of the garage and ran smack dab into a solid wall. What the devil was that doing there? Wait, that wasn’t a wall – what the heck was that?
One second she turned a corner and the next she somehow slammed into what felt like a brick wall, which had no business being there. No. Not a wall, a solid, very masculine, man. A gigantic Minnesota oak of a man, who was going down hard, and regrettably, taking her with him. As much as she wanted to change her fate, there was no way to stop what was about to happen. For a split second she considered yelling timber. She was screwed, and unless her calculations were terribly off, she was doomed to land in a very awkward position.
 After what felt like a lifetime, the manly oak hit the ground hard, with her splayed across him in a very unladylike, very sexual, way.
Good lord! I killed him! “Shiznit!”
