final installment of the Cougar Creek Mates saga is as wonderful as the previous three, The big difference in this as compared to the previous three, is that Cobalt and Ember are already enamored of one another when the book begins and long before so the story is really about them finding their way to one another.
Cobalt is the least put together and possibly the most broken of the brothers, and thus it seems appropriate that his story be the conclusion.
He finds his way to accepting himself with the help of Ember and his brothers, It is an amazing story of family and love and how healing can take time and so much care.
Ember is an interesting character in that we get to watch her come into her own and learn to stand on her own two feet in this story.
As with Cobalt, she has known for decades that he's her mate, but hasn't done or said anything about it.
In the end, she had to grow into herself and he had to learn a few things too, so the wait was worth it for them.
A happy ending for the whole family, this book wraps up the series perfectly, Thank you Felicity for another wonderful story!,stars!
Okay
Big girl panties donned
Tissues at hand Oi! points finger Head outta the gutter
Emergency chocolate rations nearby
I think Im ready.
Or not
I cant believe this is the last in the series, Im not ready for it to be over wails
We definitely went out with a bang on this one.
Cobalt and Embers story was everything I couldve hoped for, I will say this though I have never wanted to smack a pair of characters upside the head more than these two.
Sheesh!
Honestly, as if I didnt have enough stress in my own life, I was in very real danger of ending up with an ulcer.
And, I know whose feet Id be laying the blame nods knowingly
Whaaa Pfft, overdramatic Me I dont think so once youve read it we can talk.
As The Gathering draws to a close, Cobalt has a decision to make, Acknowledge who and what Ember means to him or face the very real possibility of losing her forever, For a man being eaten alive with selfdoubt, especially given recent dealings, this is easier said than done,
Since the attack that changed their lives, and that of their pride, three decades ago, Ember has tried to be the perfect daughter for her mother.
With her first heat reaching its peak, she has to decide whether to succumb to her mothers will or follow that of her heart and the man that holds it.
Rath is a man of few words, but when he does, he tells it like it is.
He had a few home truths for both Cobalt and Ember, I was virtually highfiving him, Ivy is one lucky lady,
Anyhoo, I digress as usual, . .
So prepare, youll experience a variety of emotions, I dont know why Im snorting at that, Or maybe I do, and Im sure you can as well head meet gutter,
If there was just one teeny tiny thing I would have loved at the end was an epilogue, so we couldve seen what their lives were like after.

Craved by her Cougar is the fourth and final book in Felicity Heatons Cougar Creek Mates series and now that Ive read all four books Im sad that its over now.
I should have read the novellas a little slower, Im glad though that Cobalt was the last of the brothers to get his book, He has it just as hard as the rest of the brothers, especially since his true mate is there at the gathering, but he cant have her.
This book was a very entertaining book for being the last of the Cougar Creek Mates books.
I give the final book in the series,and highly recommend this book and the series to Paranormal Romance readers, If youre a fan of Felicity Heatons book, then youll enjoy these series, If you havent read this series yet, now is the time to start it,
I hope I get to read about these brothers again, but if I dont, I have these books to reread over and over again.
For years now Colbalt has known that Ember is his fated mate, This is the first year she has been mature enough to come to the spring gathering, Unfortunately he and his family don't participate in the fighting over the right to ease the females through their mating heat, because someone has to control what could otherwise turn into a bloodbath.
Watching other males fight and be rejected is bringing him to the limit of his control,
Ember is quite happy that her mother keeps rejecting all the prospective males, There is only one she will ever consider, and he is not allowed to participate,
This is an emotional and tension filled story, Our hero lost control once and it has made everyone terrified of him, He knows he can seriously hurt someone if it happens again,
Our heroine is not afraid of taking what she wants,
Very exciting read and the last of this series, You could quite easily read it on it's own, but the series is better if you read about all the brothers in order.
In this book we meet Cobalt , for the last twenty years he has wanted this one girl, Ember , they have been friends forever and now that she is coming to the gathering, Cobalt is torn between his duty of pride protector and the pull his fated mate is calling to him.
Will they be able and get the one he truly loves, Or will his demons from the past come back and haunt him,
This is bookin the series and I think the author left the best for the last , The characters are so well written and complex.
Cobalt is a complicated guy, He has been through a lot, the loss of his parents and then the loss of his business, He is hurting and when we meet him he is barely hanging on by a thread, He is oh so sexy and trust me ladies you will want to climb him like a spider monkey.
But he is also broken and the only person that fix that is Ember, I have met her in other books and I didn't really like her at the beginning but she has grown on me.
She is strong and knows what she wants , Cobalt, She is sexy and sweet all rolled into one , she knows how to work her curves but also is kind of shy.
They are so hot together when they get together, Rath and the other cougars make an appearance to help keep the peace,
This book has a lot of angst in it, You will get sucked in and trust me ladies you want to get sucked into this book, I couldn't put it down , I was cheering for the main characters, They so needed to come to terms and let the past be the past, The author throws a lot at them and takes us on an adventure, There are parts of this book that will melt your kindle so have a cold drink close by, Enjoy the series ladies. I am kind of sad that this is the last brothers book, I truly like all the books and the author's way of story telling, So if you want a fun read that will have you reading all night long, Craved by her Cougar
Craved by her Cougar is my favorite book of this series.
. Cobalt is the reason who is the male lead, He is sexy, intense, broken and loves deeply, Ember is his fated one, if you have been following the series than you have read about Cobalt,
Cobalt feels he is not worthy male for Ember, so he fights fate but Ember will show him he is one for her.
I loved this series, I would love to read another book with all four couples together to celebrate, wishful thinking on my partner Happy Reading!!! Cobalt has known that Ember is his fated mate foryears but he was waiting until she reachedbefore acting on his feelings.
He thought he had plenty of time to talk her around but now her mother is determined to find a mate for her at the pride gathering and Cobalt's position as protector means he's not allowed to step forward and try to win her heart.
Ember has spent years following her mother's plans and allowing her to control her life, that's been great while her mother was turning away unwanted suitors but she's not so happy now that her mother has decided it's time for her to settle down.
There is only one man Ember is interested in and he's taken great pains to keep his distance from her.
Finally deciding to take her fate into her own plans Ember intends to go get her man but first she needs to break a few pride rules to claim him.
Craved by her Cougar is the fourth and final book in Felicity Heaton's Cougar Creek Mates series and I really enjoyed getting to know Cobalt better.
Like his brothers he blames himself for not protecting the pride better the night that Archangel attacked and killed his parents and a lot of other pride members and he has been punishing himself for that ever since even though there was nothing more he could have done at the time.
Now seeing all his brother's happily mated while he isn't even allowed to tell Ember how he feels is tearing him apart.
I have to admit I'm not a big fan of the way the cougar males battle it out to win a chance to woo the female pride members, especially when it seems like any male can step forward and try whether the woman is interested in them or not.
I know she gets to say no to any winners but it seems so pointless letting them have all these battles when the woman isn't going to say yes to any of the men who are fighting so viciously! I was a bit worried that there was going to be a lot of that in this story but luckily the fights that do happen are mainly off page until towards the end of the book and there aren't as many as I expected.
Ember knows she wants Cobalt and she's not interested in the battles either, she just wants to claim her man and have him claim her in return.
This has been a fun series and I'm glad we've seen all of the brothers find happiness now, Cobalt amp Ember: the fourth and final brother of this series is Cobalt, Known to the clan as the screwup because he can be a bit vicious when pushed too far, Ember we saw in the first book when her mother offered her to Rath to take care of her heat.
Ember is in the village for what I call the mate convention, Her mom is holding court where the males will fight for her, Problem is her true mate is already there, Cobalt, And they both know it, The story then becomes a struggle of wills, Ember fighting to claim her mate and Cobalt pushing her away, I loved this book the best, it was really good and you could tell the two really loved each other.
I also liked that this one involved two cougars for a change, Craved by her Cougar Cougar Creek,by Felicity Heaton is a paranormal shifter romance that can be read as a stand alone.
This story is centered around Cobalt and Ember, With the Gathering coming to an end, Ember has yet to choose a male, Finally a story where the female character brings it! Ember, you go girl! For as broody as Cobalt is, she countered him at every turn and took what she wanted.
Her male. Super hot. It's close, but I think this is my favorite of the four books in this series, Unlike the previous books, there isn't a lot of drama in this one which is fine, I recommend this book along with the others in this series, Ember's mother, and Cobalt's doubt of his suitability for her, But love will always win out in the end, This is their story how they overcame their own obstacles, Ember standing up to her mother, Cobalt fighting his demons in his own way.
I loved the story the way it flowed, I love a tough female standing up for what she wants, I recommend you read the book, I promise you will enjoy it, I recommend you start with book one, Rath's story as each one covers the brothers story leading to the final.
A Highly recommended. Originally posted at:

A lot of this in this book didn't work for me.
Firstly, the writing wasn't my favorite, It was more of the narrator telling me what was happening instead of showing me, Everyone's inner monologues were repetitive, longwinded, and overall boring, When things finally started getting somewhere where the plot is concerned it's solved within a day or so in the novel.
This brings me to my other point, this whole plot could have been resolved with one conversation between the main characters decades ago.
That is not what I consider an interesting story nowadays, In the past, it worked for me, but it doesn't anymore,
The main characters didn't have much personality, They were both facing different struggles in their own way but they were very basic and general sounding/talking people.
They didn't express their quirks and weren't all that memorable,
It's a sad day when a secondary character stands out more than both main characters, Flint sounded like an awesome character because he had a flare and a way about him that just called you to pay attention.
Overall, I wasn't a fan of this book, As long as I remember this book I'll be hesitant to pick up any other books by this author.
I won't say it'll never happen, but it's going to take some time, I received a complimentary copy of this book in exchange for an honest review,
Cougar Creek Mates wraps with Craved by Her Cougar, the final book in the fourbook series, This installment tells the story of Cobalt and Ember, members of the same cougar pack with a secluded seasonal settlement in the Canadian wilderness.
The cougar gathering is winding down and Cobalt needs to make his move on Ember, the object of his decadeslong desire.
Embers mother is actively seeking a suitable mating match for her daughter while Cobalt feels helpless to intervene, For her part, Embers feelings for Cobalt are reciprocal, however, she lacks the confidence to break from expectation,
Ive enjoyed this series, Its sweet and simple. This book, like the others in this series, presents little action or monumental conflict, The central conflict centres on
romantic tension, angst, and miscommunication, Its sexy and fun. Heaton excels at creating smouldering visuals for the romanceminded reader, Ive never been disappointed in a Heaton story, I am, however, satisfied with the conclusion of this series, fully ready to vacate Cougar Creek,
