Publisher's summary

Ruthless assassin or irresistible bodyguard?

Named one of the 100 Best Paranormal Books of All Time by Book Authority!

Tiger shifter Cruz Khala doesn’t trust humans. He doesn’t trust destiny either - not even when it sends him the one woman capable of saving his tormented soul. But there’s more than love at stake as merciless shifter forces gather on sunny Maui, intent on stealing a priceless jewel with mysterious powers. Before he knows it, Cruz becomes the last line of defense between pure evil and the sapphire - and the only one capable of saving his destined mate’s life.

Footloose and carefree? Not anymore. Jody Monroe, pro surfer, is a woman on a mission - until an unknown gunman turns her world upside down. She escapes thanks to a stealthy, enigmatic stranger with haunting, yellow-green eyes who arouses all her fears - and her desires. Cruz is a contradiction: Gruff and grouchy, painfully private, yet tender and protective of those he loves. And sexy. Mouthwateringly sexy, all the damn time. Soon, Jody’s life isn’t the only thing on the line - her heart is, too.

Aloha Shifters: Jewels of The Heart is a thrilling new series set on the tropical shores of Maui. Each story is a pause-resister packed with action, emotion, and romance! Magnum, PI with a shifter twist (a smoldering hot, alpha shapeshifter twist)!

No cliff hangers. Each story is a stand-alone paranormal romance with adult content. This story includes strong heroines, alpha heroes, werewolves and shapeshifters, billionaires, military heroes, paranormal suspense, action-adventure romance, fantasy romance, and exotic, tropical locales!

Taming the Tiger

I don’t know anyone that has read at least one book in these series that has not been hooked. You can not help but fall in love with Silas, Kai, Boone, Hunter, and Cruz. Not to mention the wonderful women they bring into the story. This story is about Cruz. I don’t know about you but I have so been looking forward to reading about Cruz and the woman the author would chose for this grumpy angry tiger.

I did do the whipsersync with this book. Truly love the narrator. The narrator did a wonderful job and done a great job pulling you into the story. I did find though that the audios with this series does not always match up with the book. From time to time there where sentences that were reworded, words left out, or even a sentence is complete added. Does not take a way from the story though.

Cruz Khala was this sexy tiger shifter but he was grumpy, angry, and seemed to hate every thing, especially human’s. As we get to know Cruz we do get to understand him and can not blame him. The anger he carries around is slowly killing his spirit. He believes human’s were responsible for his parents death. To carry this around for years and long for the day you can venge your families death has to be a heavy weight to bare.

Jody Monroe was this amazing woman. She was a pro surfer and I just loved her free spirit. I also loved the love she had for her family. She would do anything for them even if it meant doing a modeling gig to make some money to help them out. I am sure she never dreamed she would be on someone’s hit list. She was the type of person you feel in love with, not want to kill.

The one thing I love about this story is that we get to see the battle between animal and man. Though Cruz and his tiger are one, they are two different spirits that share on body. We get to see Cruz inwardly argue with his tiger. The animal was the smart one in this story. He knew the moment he saw Jody she was not a killer. Cruz on the other hand was facing this inward battle.

I know this had to be a hard decision for Jody to make on trusting Cruz. I love how she went with her heart and her gut. I also loved how she really got under Cruz skin. He was finding it so hard to resist her.

There is danger all around. The jewel that Jody was suppose to do a photo shoot with could be a one of the Spirit Stone. This meant the danger Jody was in could be more serious then they had thought.

One of my many favorite scenes in the story was one of the photo shoots. Lets just say things get pretty hot and steamy. I sorry want to know more about that scene you will have to read the book. Trust me when I say this book has some many wonderful parts.

By the end of the book, though I love how it ended I was screaming at Anne Lowe. Please tell me that is not who she is going to put with Silas. No no, no!!!!

This truly was a great story and glad I got a chance to read the book.

Shifters galore

An exciting story where Cruz the brooding tiger shifter finds his mate. This story introduces some new shifter enemies and a new earth stone is found. The narrator does a good job, but her voice is too nice for the male parts. I received a complimentary audio and I am voluntarily giving a review.

Lure of a great story

Love this whole series. And love this one since I love tigers . Anna knows how to intertwine a little bit of the past characters in her other books within this story . Anna also knows how to keep the man true to his shifter animal.
Hero is Cruz. Heroine is Jody

Cruz hates humans and there is a big reason why... he blames humans for his parents murder. Cruz is also a tiger shifter and he is true to his animal..... he’s moody, stubborn... and once he gets an idea in his mind nothing can throw him off .
Jody is a surfer but she decides to do a gig as a model for the extra money her family needs .
Cruz sees Jody and his tiger knows right away that Jody is their mate but Cruz the man won’t accept it .
Both Cruz and Jody will have to lean to trust each other and get along because Jody has to do a screamer with a spirt stone which can be very dangerous. .
Will they know what the spirt stone is all about . Will Cruz figure out that Jody is not like other humans

The performance of Kelsey was good . She did all the tones of the characters and scenes good. Her voice is storing and clear

Lure of the Tiger

Gah! I loved this book and these two wonderful characters with their strength and turmoil throughout this book, but I need to know what happens with Silas! An amazing series so far and I can’t wait for what happens next.

Cruz's story-another great addition to the series!

Cruz and Jody were so cute together. I really liked Jody's sense of family (hence her modeling). At first I did not care for Cruz because of his attitude towards humans. Because he received bad/wrong info about his family's death that he was planning to avenge, Cruz was going to kill Jody. Luckily he saves her from yet another killer. Jody ends up with one of the Spirit Stones during a photo shoot. When trouble comes, she is fierce in wielding the power of the stone even though she doesn't know how to use it. Ms Lowe is so good at writing evil characters (makes you want to jump into the book and b!tch slap them-especially that nasty vampire who is definitely not one of the romantic ones). This book contains a few evil villans. I loved what happens to each of them except for the photographer. It was awesome when Silas swooped in to chase the helicopter that contained one of the bad guys, and anyone following the series knows that Silas is a bada$$. Ms Lowe is also great at the steamy scenes and who wouldn’t want one with the tiger Cruz. Jody made a believer out of Cruz that love is possible. I love that each story is a standalone and each story sets you up for the next one. The epilogue was great! I highly recommend each book in this series as they are unique and awesome!

Kelsey Osborne did a great job with the narration. To me, she is the voice of the series. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Amazing!

I loved this story! The narration is wonderful. This series keeps getting better. Cruz & Jodi make a great couple & their story is do exciting. I am so ready for the next book but I am going to miss these characters. I wish I could give more stars!

Absolutely loved it!

I got this book to listen to for my 16 hour drive and while I was listening to it I was entertained the whole time and didn't feel tired! The story was also great without using too many shifter romance cliches.
