Savage Mate

Mystic River Shifters, Book 2

By: Delta James

Narrated by: Dan Levy

A grumpy bear shifter. A lost hiker. A fated bond neither saw coming.

The first time Autumn Bradley sees him, he’s rising from the river like a warrior carved from stone. Too bad the grumpy sheriff doesn’t seem nearly as impressed with her.

What was supposed to be a romantic birthday weekend in the Alaskan wilderness takes a disastrous turn when Autumn’s fiancé bails, taking the satellite phone, compass, and GPS with him. Now, alone and hopelessly lost in the wild, she has no way to navigate back to safety. And with a snowstorm barreling toward her, time is running out.

Jax Miller has no patience for careless hikers. As Mystic River’s sheriff and best tracker, he’s pulled in to find the woman lost in the storm. He expects to rescue someone reckless. He doesn’t expect to find his fated mate.

Bringing her home is only the beginning. Jax is a gruff, growly bear shifter who’s spent years keeping outsiders at arm’s length. But Autumn isn’t just anyone… she’s his. And now, he’ll do whatever it takes to prove she belongs in his arms, and in his town.

Welcome to Mystic River, Alaska, a hidden sanctuary where shifters roam free, fated mates spark wild passion, and love is worth the fight.

Savage Mate - Autumn and Jax

This was a very good story about Autumn and Jax. I love how they met. Jax knew she was his fated mate. They were great together. This series gets better with each book. Dan Levy did a great job with the narration. I received this free copy audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this review.

Savage Mate

I really enjoyed this audio book! I have read the print book and enjoyed the story of Jax and Autumn, and the residents of Mystic River. This book has romance, action, and a mystery, plus a great setting. Dan Levy does a great job with the story and characters.

The Sheriff’s on the prowl!

Autumn knew Porter was wrong for her. Even though she should have been on top of the world, she felt a little deflated about him. She thought she’d have to settle for him the way he was. Selfish, small minded, and small…. It isn’t everything…
Jax knew the city girl was going to die on her own. The paperwork would drown him alone! She was too much trouble already and he hadn’t even met her yet!
Then he smelled her. Then he tasted her. Then he knew she was worth it.
Delta is batting 1000 with this series. It’s so refreshing in a new area with new places.
Dan’s narration is great. He’s got the vibe of an old Alaskan town!!
Excellent book!!!

The sheriff is a bear shift and is on the case when a human vet goes missing.
