Publisher Description
He thinks he’s protecting her…
Wolf shifter Teresa is blown away by her packmate Ryan’s honesty about his past and his rare empathic powers. She wants him in her bed—and her life. The only problem: Ryan insists they wait, because the last thing he wants is to recreate the hellish family he grew up in. Frustrated, Teresa jumps at the chance to assist a packmate off the ranch—far away from Ryan.
Instead, he’s pushing her away…
On the way, their vehicle is run off the road—and it wasn’t an accident. Ryan rushes to Teresa’s side, determined to protect her. But there’s a dangerous enemy lurking in the shadows, and if Ryan doesn’t break out of his old thinking and put his faith in Teresa—and their ability to overcome obstacles together—it will be too late.

Great Addition to Existing Series
Protective Instinct, a new novella in the Moon Shifter Series by Katie Reus. This novella tells the story of Ryan O’Callaghan and Teresa Cordova. Teresa knows that Ryan is her mate – likewise Ryan knows that Teresa is his mate but Ryan is resisting the bond due to his past. (His parents bonded when they shouldn’t have and were miserable). Ryan is allowing his past, and his parents’ experience, to color his judgment about bonding with Teresa. While Ryan is all about some sexy times with Teresa he refuses to take the final step and bond with her. Teresa is hurt and thus needs to get away from the daily contact with Ryan and the pull of her wolf’s attraction to him. She volunteers to go with another world on an overnight trip for the Alpha. In doing so, she puts herself in the path of an enemy of her family who is dead set on revenge. This appears to wake Ryan up from his “wait and see” attitude. The shifter world that Katie Reus has created for this series is believable. There are humans and other paranormal creatures (vampires) in this series and like in real life they don’t always mesh or get along together. This goes a long way to making the stories more believable. There is enough action and suspense to satisfy you, working out who the real bad guy is. There is some heat to these books, they are shifters, after all – but it is not the focal point of the story. I would recommend this series to any fan of paranormal romantic suspense.
I was provided an ARC of this novella for an honest review.
