Buck Naked by Evangeline Anderson

Blurb

Sadie Becker is not herself. A 40-year-old, divorced mother of two, Sadie wakes up one morning and realizes that she looks and feels like she did in her twenties. Suddenly she’s unable to walk around in her new town of Cougarville without men falling at her feet. Confused and alone, Sadie isn’t sure who to turn to…except answers to her problems might reside with her broodingly handsome reclusive neighbor, Mathis.

An alpha shifter, Mathis lost the love of his life, and he knows he’ll never find another mate. But his innocent new neighbor clearly doesn’t know the danger she’s in, and he's the only one who can save her.

But when the attraction pulls too strong, will Mathis’ animal nature be unleashed and claim Sadie for his own? Buck Naked is a sexy, emotional thrill-ride that will hook readers on this fantastic new series.

My Review ☆☆☆☆☆
 

Okay I freaking loved this book! Totally unique storyline and I love, love, love having a 40 year old heroine! There are plenty of curvy BBW heroines but what about us middle age gals? We need some loving too! Well have no fear ladies, Evangeline Anderson has our backs with this series. The idea of a dormant shifter gene that kicks when a woman hits late 30's to early 40's ONLY if they aren't already in an established relationship (no leaving significant others or children) is absolutely fascinating. To have your body change back into how it was in your 20's? Wow! Who wouldn't love to have that happen? But, all those changes come with a price. A rejuvenated (aka Juvie) woman needs to find an alpha to mate with before the next full moon or she will die. Sadie can't believe the changes that her body is going through nor can she understand the over the top reactions the men in Cougarville are having to her.

Mathis broke my heart. He lost his mate 10 years before and because of what kind of shifter he is, he believes that he can never form a mate bond with another woman ever again. But because he is an Alpha he can restrain his impulses around Sadie, just barely so he takes her under his protection to try to save her from the unwanted advances of the other shifters in town. He is drawn to Sadie and the more time that he spends with her the stronger his feelings become for her. Let me tell you, these two struggled hard for their HEA. Sadie, because she had no clue what was going on and Mathis because his animal is only able to mate once in their lifetime. 

I loved the whole premise of the story, the world building was fantastic, the characters were well rounded and engaging. The romance was sweet and sexy and I loved the fact that the author used prehistoric animals for her shifters. Great start to a intriguing series! I can't wait for the next book in the series!
