Sierra Kanoska fought hard for her position as wolf alpha of the Red Rock pack, and intruders in her territory receive the full brunt of what her claws, fangs, and smarts can accomplish. So when Dax Williams, de facto alpha of the Silver Springs pack, pays an unwelcome visit, Sierra’s ready to toss him out. However, the man’s in a tough spot. The pack elders sabotaged his fight for alpha against his brother, driving him from his lands. Sierra hates underhanded moves like that, so she agrees on an alliance.
As they work together, she witnesses an alpha who wants to do right by his pack, not just the cocky wiseass she first met. Their growing attraction blazes hot, but the moment she and Dax lock lips, a mating bond emerges. Sierra sure as hell isn’t ready to share that intimate connection with a stranger, and the thought of forever sends Dax running.
Before they can talk, the Tribe commanding the East Coast shifters arrives to settle the dispute. Dax and his brother’s punishment for their pack’s civil war is a free-for-all on their lands. Not only does he have to defeat his brother, but any challenger in the region. Despite Dax and Sierra’s initial resistance, his wily charm relaxes her control-freak tendencies while her steadfast support bolsters his strength. Yet every new opponent places their newfound relationship under siege—one misstep, one wrong blow in the ring, and Dax could leave in a body bag.

Forged Alliances is the first book in the ‘Tribal Spirits’ series from author Katherine McIntyre. I have a weakness for steamy paranormal shifter romances, especially ones with a really sexy alpha male! Knowing I was about to start one, I jumped right in without reading the description. I like to experience things first hand without the knowledge of what may come. So, when I read that the Red Rock pack was lead by an alpha female, Sierra Konoska, I got really excited. Most shifter books that I have read have both a male and female alpha ruling a clan, and I love that Forged Alliances has Sierra as the sole alpha of her wolf shifter pack.
Dax Williams is a mountain lion and part of the Silver Springs pack. Dax and some of his followers left their land after an incident with his brother and the elders. Dax has heard good things about Sierra and decides to pay her clan a visit, hoping to form an alliance with her clan. Although, it probably wasn’t the smartest idea for the mountain lions shifters to walk into a bar full of wolf shifters. Will Sierra help Dax and his followers?
I really enjoyed reading Forged Alliances! The storyline was captivating, and the characters are enchanting. I just devoured this story in one sitting and cannot wait for the next one!

A modern-day Renaissance-woman, Katherine McIntyre has learned soapmaking, beer brewing, tea blending, and most recently roasting coffee. Most of which make sure she’s hydrated and bathed while she spends the rest of her time writing. With a desire to travel and more imagination than she knows what to do with, all the stories jumping around in her head led to the logical route of jotting them down on paper. She writes novels with snarky women, ragtag crews, and guys with bad attitudes. High chances for a passionate speech thrown into the mix.
