This is the first in Gayle's sexy Black Cougar series. It has a very good story line. I think in the future, this could be the basis for a full length print paranormal romance novel. At only 230 double-spaced pages, it is a very quick read. There is action, clan opposition, shifters, a witch, a budding romance, as well as a nefarious plot against our hero. The sex is very hot - on a scale of 1-4, it is a 3.5 including one anal scene, some spanking, one short m...more

Lucas Gunn is a cougar shapeshifter and a Guardian who maintains the secrets of the many clans. He protects them at all costs even if he has to kill to do so. Not to mention he is over 6 feet of pure sin.
Captain Akira MacDonald is a U.S. Marine intelligence officer. She isn’t a shapeshifter but she does have visions.
Kira is at the onset of her mating call and with the females of her kind, they go a little mental, literally. She is convinced that when a female goes into her heat that her mate wil...more

Review written by Morgan Wylie

The rare black cougar shifters of the seclusive area of Dragon Trail have been burdened through heritage with the title of “Death Enforcers”. Lucas Gunn, the Guardian, is bound to his duty, until he unexpectedly meets his mate, but there are rules about mixing among the clans- rules that are not to be broken.

This book started out promisingly enough but somewhere along the way I lost the thread of what was happening and the end was a mishmash of events that I could hardly make heads or tails of. It's highly possibly that the lack can be laid at my feet but I honestly didn't know what I was reading over the last 40% of this book.
Kira confused me. I know part of the issue with her was that she was losing her grasp on reality as her mind fragmented but the things she did and the reasoning behind her act...more

Lucas is book 1 in the Black Cougar series from Eliza Gayle and I have to say I truly loved it. I am all about the shifter these days and never seem to be able to get enough, so it was wonderful to have such a story at my little finger tips to gobble up. Lucas is a shifter and has been locked up with his captors hoping that he will reveal himself and his people. But he is having lust filled dreams of a sassy red headed woman who won't stop torturing him with her body. But is it just a dream, neg...more
Lucas is the first book in the Black Cougar series. I really enjoyed this book. Lucas is a guardian shifter who has been captured for information about his clan. Lucas is an alpha male, and you just can't help but like that! In his dreams, he keeps seeing a girl named Kira.
Kira is a member of another clan, but is not a shifter. She does, however, have special abilities. One of those abilities include dream-walking with the man she believes is her mate. Through these dreams, Kira figures out wher...more

Lucas is the first book in the Black Cougar trilogy about the Gunn brothers.

Lucas by Eliza Gayle
I purchased the Shifter bundle and only read Lucas's story completely so my review below is based solely on Lucas.
I’ve read other books by Ms Gayle and most were good but this series didn’t do it for me.
I finished Lucas and it was okay. Lot’s of jumping around in the story and the dialog was a bit choppy which made it difficult to read. Not much back story on the characters so I had a hard time understanding who hated who and why. Example is the Kira’s mother was mentioned a...more

This book was a win from author back in beginning of October when she was promoting her September release Slave To Pleasure . I had not read anything by the author Eliza Gayle prior to this book and found it to be a quick and fun story which is the start of her Black Cougar series and has a very likeable female character in Kira and a yummy male character in Lucas.. Steamy Eliza Gayle at her best and good news for those who love shifters this series has those Alpha Males we all love to "drool ov...more
Kira is having oh so naughty dreams about a man – a stranger. This man in locked away in a cell and Kira has an overwhelming desire to find him and save him. When she has been in tough situations in the past, she uses her Tallon to open her psychic gift. However, recently that gift has started to decline. She is afraid her step-father will find out her gift is not working well, opening her up to revealing secrets of her clan, which would impose an immediate death sentence. More surprisingly, she...more
I have such a thing for alpha males that when the review request for this book came up, I jumped at the chance.
Lucas and Kira's story is very interesting, intriguing and fun to nerve recking. They have similar origins but have so many secrets to hide from each other that it takes a long time for them to realize they are on the same side.

Kira (a psychic) has been having steamy day dreams about her kidnapped mate. Lucas doesn’t know what to make of Kira when he first sees her all he knows is his animal and hormones definitely like her. Confused, Lucas doesn’t know who to trust and thinks Kira might have had a hand in his kidnapping.
Meanwhile Kira is slowly losing her mind, once one her kind meets their mate it triggers insanity unless claimed. She doesn't have much time but she isn't about to force a mating on Lucas even if it en...more

I don't know if there was a problem with the formatting just from translation to my Nook, but this book was so hard to read I almost stopped a couple of times. However, I'm extremely stubborn and hate to not finish a story (unless it's excruciating). There was also a bad case of head-hopping all throughout. The story itself wasn't too bad, but the heroine frustrated me a couple of times and the sex scenes didn't always fit into the situation. The part where the heroine threw up when regaining co...more

This is book 1 of the Black Cougar series. Kira is having dreams about Lucas, a stranger who sets her body aflame with naughty desires. Her psychic abilities tell her he is in danger. She is pulled to find and help Lucas, a cougar shifter, as she recognizes him to be her destined mate. Kira isn't looking for a mate and must battle not only her fierce fated attraction to Lucas, but also accept that if she doesn't take Lucas as her mate during her mating season she chances her psychic abi...more

This book was fairly good. Lots of sexual and regular tension between Lucas and Kira. They had lots of trust issues to work out. It made it frustrating at times. I recall having similar issues while reading Malcolm's book.
Since I read Malcolm first it was nice to go back to the beginning and see how Lucas and Kira became a couple. It also gave a starting point for why Malcolm was in the situation he was in at the beginning of his book.

2.5 stars I was leaning towards 3 stars, but then it ended abruptly with a lot of things left unresolved, so I rounded down. (view spoiler) Kira doesn't want to be mated because she sees the way her step-father abuses that power over her mother. But we never really get to see or understand that, and I have no idea why...more

I didn't understand the plot to the story... One minute the situation was dangerous and they had to solve and issue but then they would have sex and forget the issue and never bring it up again... Like his brother..... WTF?!?!? but I gave it 3 stars cuz when the plot stopped making sense there was a great sexy session... so maybe thats why the plot didnt make sense cuz of the mindless crazy sex they had... lol but I was still confused...
*This book contains sexually explicit scenes*
This series is about different clans with different abilities. Lucas is from a clan of Cougar-shifters and Kira is from a clan of people with psychic powers. Lucas is Kira's fated mate and they both have to struggle with being tied to someone else and having no control over it. I loved Lucas and Kira's relationship. The way it progressed from denial to acceptance and ten love. The story was short but very well paced. The series kind of reminded me of...more

Great book. Can't wait to read the next 2 of the series. Liked Kane. Very sexy book.
This is a story about Lucas who is an alpha panther, who runs his clan. He dreams of a woman, but not sure who she is. Kira is a woman who is from another clan that is able to read minds, but not a shifter. She has dreams about a gorgeous man, but is also not sure who he is. She is out driving and has a vision of him. She knows that he is in trouble and is able to speak with him telepathically. Kira goes in sear...more

New Author. Shapeshifters. Story was so-so. there were too many indiscrepancies in story that bothered me. I bought the ebook package of all three in series. I am trying to finish the series just for the sake of finishing. Hopefully next one might be a bit better.
