Throwback Thursday – The Lion’s Purpose – Billie Willow

 



I stumbled on this week’s Throwback Thursday completely by accident.  I was scrolling through my Instagram feed and came upon a sponsored add.  So, me being me, I stopped and stared for a minute, there might have been drool involved, Oh come on!  Check out that cover!  Chest and ab porn with those lines that make women stupid, I have to get my joys somewhere.  Anywho, the cover called to me, so I took a screenshot, like I do with all books that catch my eye, to investigate later.

My phone might be full of screenshots of interesting book covers, new releases, and coming soon books.  Of course, sometimes when I read the blurb they don’t sound as interesting as the cover looks, or they may be part of a serial causing me to delete them.  I can’t help it!  I am not a fan of cliffhangers.  I want to read an overreaching storyline that is a series, but I want each book to end with a HEA for the couple involved.  The Lion’s purpose had both, so onto my Kindle it went.  And because I was still drooling over the cover, right to the top of the To Be Read folder.

This appears to be a new author, there are only 2 books on available on Amazon so far.  Of course, I did a little stalking and the author’s Facebook says book 3 is currently in the works.  I can’t wait!  This book was amazing!  It contained the love story I crave and the action and adventure that just didn’t stop.  I really enjoyed this author’s take on shifters and the pitfalls that try to stand against them.  I hope you take a chance on this book like I did.  I don’t think you will be disappointed.  Okay, while you grab this little beauty to enjoy, I am off to read book 2.

Happy Reading

The Lion’s Purpose (Crew of Rogues book 1)

Cell mates…or fated mates?

In one night, Lara’s life shifted…literally. In the space of a few hours, her parents are killed by a drunk driver, she is attacked and bitten by a wild animal and then left to bleed out. Instead, she transforms into a Panther. Thrown into a world she has no knowledge of, she is kidnapped and imprisoned by an underground anti-shifter organisation, in the cell next door to a handsome, charming Lion Shifter called Archer. Lara finds herself drawn to Archer, but when he announces they are ‘fated mates’, she immediately thinks the notion ridiculous…isn’t it?

Archer never believed in fated mates…but that was before he met her. Being a rogue shifter meant learning to be alone, something he’d known ever since he escaped his drunk and abusive father as a teenager. When Archer is drugged and locked in a cell next to an endearing woman, everything in his body screams mine, but when she claims the whole idea of fated mates is a farce, he is forced to let go of his instinct to be with her, even if it kills him.

As Archer and Lara risk their lives and face demons from their past, their chemistry builds to fever pitch but will a secret from Archer’s past destroy everything?

The Lion’s Purpose is the first book in the Crew of Rogues series.



Official published review:

Men aren’t meant to stand alone

What a fantastic series starter! The author filled this book with so much action and emotion, and just when you thought you had a handle on the story, there was another twist in the road. I love how these misfits connected and the depth of their emotions, it kept me invested in the outcome and reading until the very end. I enjoyed the dangerous situations they found themselves in and the way they rallied when all hope seemed lost. This book has made me a fan of the author, and I’m looking forward to moving on to book two.

5 stars
