Book two in the Tribal Spirits series
When Finn falls for Navi, a member of the East Coast Tribe, he’ll have to choose between the pack and family who saved him and the unforgettable woman who’s made her mark.
Ever since Sierra and Dax mated, forming their alliance, Finn has been restless in his position as beta for the Red Rock pack. So, when Navi, the gorgeous, lethal member of the East Coast Tribe, conscripts him to help break up the Landsliders’ drug-running ring, he leaps on the opportunity. As they work together, their attraction deepens to more than comrades and far more than a one-night stand. Except Navi isn’t sticking around town forever and Finn has his own responsibilities tethering him to the Red Rock pack.
When the trail to the drug ring leads them to the man who murdered Finn’s parents, Finn’s forced to confront the fears he’s buried and, in the process, the connection between him and Navi grows scorching and unforgettable. However, with an underground meth lab to bust and his parents’ murderer to take down, Finn throws his heart and soul into the fight, because he knows, even if he survives this, he’ll be forever marked by the goodbyes to follow.

Forged Decisions is the second book in the Tribal Spirits series from author Katherine McIntyre. This story can be read as a standalone paranormal romance, although I do recommend reading the series from the beginning. It will give you the background knowledge to understand and appreciate the backstories. Just know that it’s not mandatory.
Forged Decisions tells the story of Finn Kelly who is the beta wolf of his tribe. Sierra, his alpha, has recently mated Dax and been busy integrating the two packs (book 1). With everything going on, Finn feels like he’s not needed anymore. So, when the opportunity to work with Navi, a judge from the East Coast Tribe, he jumped at the chance.
The chemistry between Navi and Finn is powerful, but they both know her time here is limited. Navi is a strong-willed panther, but she does have a lot of insecurities which puts a wedge between them and their desire. Will Navi and Finn take a chance at love?
Forged Decisions is a fun and steamy read. Looking forward to reading the next in the series!

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.
