Series: Cougar Creek Mates

Book Review: Craved by Her Cougar by Felicity Heaton

Craved by Her Cougar is the fourth and final book in the Cougar Creek Mates series, however, it can be read as a standalone. The series focuses on four brothers, Flint, Rath, Storm and Cobalt. Craved by Her Cougar is Cobalt’s story.

I am a big fan of Felicity Heaton, but for some reason I was not feeling this story. I guess it is  due in part to the fact that the plot-line for this installment was similar to that of the previous books. The story centres on the gathering, where male cougar shifters fight to prove themselves as suitable mates for female shifters who have attained maturity.  Cobalt’s position as a protector for the pride rendered him ineligible from taking part in the gathering, which was never a problem until now. The woman he loves, his fated mate was now eligible to be a part of the gathering.

Cobalt is a man haunted by his past and events he considered failures and he believes he is not a suitable mate for Ember.

I was curious to learn about Cobalt after meeting him in the previous installments. However, after reading his story, I was disappointed.  He is aggressive by nature, and always itching for a fight, yet he refused to fight for the woman he loved.  I found his constant state of denial regarding his feelings for Ember frustrating.

I enjoyed getting to know Ember. She grew throughout the story. It thrilled me when she stood up to her mom, who made it her mission to meddle in her life. Ember knew what she wanted, and she went after it.

Heaton writes intense and exciting fight scenes, and this was no different. Her descriptions and attention to detail would make readers feel as if they were at the scene.

Conclusion
Craved by Her Cougar is a short read. The writing was good, but the story was bland. I would read a book of this size in one sitting, but I kept putting it aside, therefore it took me several sittings over a two-day period to complete it.

Recommendation

Although I did not enjoy this as I hoped, I know there are other readers who enjoyed it. If you love shifter romance, you can try this one; you may have better luck than I did.
