Book Review: The Tiger Next Door by Elva Birch and Zoe Chant

The Tiger Next Door

Author:
Elva Birch & Zoe Chant
Series: Green Valley Shifters (Book 2)
Publication: Zoe Chant (September 1, 2018)

Description: What’s more stubborn -- fate, or a five-year-old?

Tiger shifter and businessman, Shaun always wanted to spend more time with the child his ex-wife took away from him -- but he wasn't expecting her to abandon five-year old Trevor and force Shaun to move to the tiny town of Green Valley. It’s bad enough that Shaun doesn’t know the first thing about being a father -- now suddenly he’s the father of an unpredictable shifter child.

Hawk shifter and preschool teacher, Andrea knows better than to fall for Trevor’s father -- no matter how good he looks with a colander on his head. But the electricity between them is impossible to resist, and when the lights in his house go out, the sparks that fly aren’t only in the fuse box.

Abandoned by his mother, all that Trevor has ever asked for is love and stability, and Shaun is determined to give that to him at any cost. Even if it means denying that the hot next door neighbor is his destined mate.

The Tiger Next Door is a sizzling shifter romance set in the small town of Green Valley, with secret shifters and second chances.

My Thoughts: This cute paranormal romance stars a businessman who gains sudden custody of his young son and goes to live with him in the town of Green Valley so that he can continue to attend his beloved preschool. 

Shaun, who is a tiger shifter, thinks the move will only be temporary. He isn't expecting to fall in love at first sight with his son Trevor's preschool teacher Andrea who happens to be a hawk shifter. Things are complicated when his son makes him promise not to fall in love with Andrea.

Andrea's inner hawk has recognized Shaun as her mate too. But she's worried that he will soon be leaving. So Shaun and Andrea begin an affair that they keep secret from Trevor. The premise of the affair is that she is teaching him about home improvements for his house. 

Meanwhile, Shaun is questioning his life choices and contemplating a career chance while dealing with a preschooler who is shifting to a lion when he gets stressed. 

This was a nice story with interesting characters and cute kids. I enjoyed the small town setting and the paranormal elements. 

I bought this one January 17, 2024, at BookBub for $.99. You can buy your copy here.
