4.7 out of 5 stars 47 ratings


A woman on a mission to find her mate. A man who doesn't know his own worth. Fate leads them to each other, but her family secrets might tear them apart.


I’m Rory “Nips” Kilkenny, a brother of the Dark Leopards MC, and I take pride in pleasing the ladies. My inner lynx tells me my whorish ways are gonna get me in trouble someday, but I’m all about my freedom. There’s no chance of failing to measure up if you just take what you want.

Athena Chouteau strides into our club on a mission: Find the one the mating instinct has led her to. But, she finds me with a busty, satiated blonde on my lap, and once again, I’m a disappointment.

My lynx whispers an I told you so, and I realize I’ve got my work cut out for me. Given the chance, I strive to prove my worth to us both, but Athena’s family secrets threaten our unstable foundation.

Fate led us to one another, and I will make her mine—even if lives are lost in the process.

      The story pulled me in from the first, even though I wanted to smack Rory! LOL As I read on though, his troubles and why he felt the way he did were peeled back layer by layer. Both Rory and Athena has issues that they have to deal with and being fated mates, they are going to have to make it work? Can Athena make Rory understand that he means everything to her? This was a whole range of emotions and I found myself rooting for them like crazy!!! Ms. Burke does a fantastic job at writing shifter stories that you can fall into and not look up until your done!!

      Rory and Athena are fated mates, and meet at the most inopportune time. He’s got some making up to do to his mate.

      When I started reading this story it hooked me, the drama, the family secret, especially the family life Athena led. This storyline just pulled all the punches, from when Rory and Athena give in to their instincts, proving to each other that they are exactly what they need and worthy of each other.

      I voluntarily reviewed an advanced copy of this book.

      Rory and Athena embark on a journey of growth, believing in oneself, and finding something that makes life beautiful. This was a definite page turner. I loved every second of this story.

      Rory doesn't think he is worth more than a quick screw. So meeting his mate at the exact wrong time does little to change his mind. Nevertheless he is determined to convince Athena to look past their initial meeting.
      I enjoyed getting to know Rory and Athena. Both of them had emotional scars. Both of them struggled to trust. Both of them had a warped view of themselves. Will fate show them the truth? Finding out was half the fun in this quick read by Lynn Burke. I enjoyed seeing Athena and Rory find their footing. In learning each other they learned about themselves. I thoroughly enjoyed their journey and am looking forward to where Ms. Burke will take us next.

      Athena is a special cat with a special “extra power”. When she feels the mating pull, she does not necessarily like what she finds. Rory ignores his inner cats warning and is caught in a compromising position when Athena comes looking for him. Can they get around this and the dangers around them?

      Must love a fated mate story – with backstory, undercurrents, and romance.

      Oh, let me tell you this book is perfect, I lost some sleep to finished it. These two fated shifter mates couldn't be anymore different, Athena is reserved, stoic, quiet, she never raise her voice. You can guess who she ended up with😳yup, the playboy, the womanizer. He's not someone she ever thought would be her fated mate, but sometimes you gotta take the good with the bad, cause you never know how life will be if you don't trust and let go and Athena needed to let go to be free. It's why they're perfect for one another, they balance each other out completely, beautifully done author Lynn Burke🤍🖤🤍

      I love the Dark Leopards MC series! There is always a twisted plot with strong characters and juicy passion. Athena and Rory are fated mates, but have an awful first meeting. Athena stoically faces Rory and her inner beast roars to life while Rory tries to calm his urge to claim. It doesn't take long for the natural mating instinct to prevail and Athena and Rory become a force to be reckoned with as one.
