Pride Mates

CALL OF THE WILD
To most, they are animals—even when in human form. They are to be collared and kept on the fringes of society, scorned because they are feared, hated for their extraordinary powers. And attorney Kim Fraser has to go right into the heart of their lair.
It's her job to defend those in need. But there's absolutely nothing defenseless about Liam Morrissey. His soft Irish lilt and feline grace can't disguise his sheer strength. Nor can the silver chain at his throat, designed to control the aggression of his kind, completely reassure her that this man has been tamed.
Yet when a feral shifter begins to stalk them both, Liam is the only one she trusts with her life. She'll let him claim her—for her protection, for her pride, and for a passion that knows no bounds.

Raves and Reviews
"The story line is fast-paced from the moment the feisty lawyer challenges the powerful shifter and never slows down as love and the law clash in what is a terrific tale of people's rights and dignities."-Harriet Klausner
"Pride Mates is so much more than just an erotic romance. Ashley creates a vividly realized and richly historied alternate reality on a par with Kim Harrison's Hollows and Patricia Briggs' world of Mercy Thompson. And with a real focus on character development à la Laurell K. Hamilton's Anita Blake saga and an unfathomably deep plot comparable to Adrian Phoenix's A Maker's Song, Ashley has succeeded in creating a truly exceptional story that should appeal to not only adventurous romance readers but fans of paranormal fantasy and paranormal mystery as well. In a word: Wow." --Paul Goat Allen, Barnes and Noble blog reviewer
"What I liked most about this book was it did what good science-fiction does - mirrors a real world situation under the guise of the "other." The prejudices the Shifters face could be any of the civil rights cases of our world. The matters with the Shifters were all very well done, and the romance and paranormal aspect was just an added bonus."--News and Sentinel
"Jennifer Ashley puts her own spin on the Shifter mythology in the world building but it is her characters who provide the true heart of the story. From the side story involving Dylan and Glory to the sweetness and youth of Connor, PRIDE MATES contains memorable characters that the reader wants to see again. Bravo!"--Book Illuminations, Debbie Wiley Book Reviews
