4 FALLEN ANGELS: "Spring Ryan has finally decided to take control of her life, at thirty years old, it's past time. She decides to go camping in the Smoky Mountains for her birthday, against the advice of family and friends. She's considered as being dainty and delicate and always needing the protection of her parents, but she wants to prove her independence and self-sufficiency. The trip isn't without its downfalls, but she presses on until she comes upon two huge dogs on the trail. When the dogs turn into two gorgeous, naked men before her eyes, she is overwhelmed. Before she passes out, she vaguely hears one of the men call her "his mate". Adam and Brock are Irish Wolfhound shapeshifters who are more than surprised to find their mate so close to home after searching for her all over the world. They carry her home to Sanctuary, their family homestead. When Spring wakes, they explain their nature and that she is their mate. She cannot explain the attraction and desire she has for both men and agrees to the mating. She also learns that they have an insatiable sexual appetite. As Spring settles into Sanctuary, she learns that her men are the first set of four sets of Sullivan twin shapeshifters. She loves Sanctuary and realizes that she's found contentment there, until the Ranger shows up with news that her parents are looking for her. Will her parents demand she come home? Will her dreams of being with Adam and Brock be shattered before they begin? I enjoyed reading this story because the heroine decided to take control of her life in her own way. She learned that she actually had a backbone. The two heroes loved her for who she was not because she was a damsel in distress needed protecting. Sometimes a change of scenery is all we need to find happiness and a feeling of belonging as Spring found out in this story. The sexual scenes were loving and very erotic. I love shapeshifting love stories because their nature is to love and mate for life. As long as the heart feels loved it does not care if it's a shapeshifter, human, one partner or five partners, we all need a Sanctuary in our lives." --Pam S., Fallen Angel Reviews

4 CHERRIES: "The hiking guide mentions seeing squirrels, rabbits, birds and the occasional deer. It said nothing about giant horse-like dogs!! Actually, they’re Irish Wolfhounds but Spring’s reaction to their sudden appearance on the trail would have been pretty much the same. Dead faint! Spring Ryan is tired of people looking at her face and assuming she doesn’t have a brain just because she happens to be pretty. Granted, her latest scheme to spend her birthday alone, on a fifty mile nature hike down the Appalachian Trail, might not help her argument. Don’t misunderstand; Spring is stronger and more independent than people, including her parents, give her credit for. A traumatic episode in her past has made her wary but she’s tired of living in fear. A nice quiet hike over several days with plenty of time to think about what she wants to do with her life is on the agenda. Being confronted with a pair of hot and sexy Irish wolfhound shifter mates is NOT. Good thing Spring’s plans are flexible because once she has a taste of love al la twins Adam and Brock Sullivan, going back to a place that no longer felt like home holds very little appeal. But will she have to make a choice when reality and her job back home breaks into their secluded mountain sanctuary? Don’t get too caught up in the romantic element of this book, there is a sinister force just waiting to throw a wrench into this budding triad. Spring Comes to Sanctuary is a perfect example of the imaginative talents of author Cooper McKenzie. Her stories are always entertaining in their settings and dialogue. The way she describes the remote haven of Sanctuary had me wanting to see this place. Oh well, if I can’t go there in real life I’ll settle for visiting through Ms. McKenzie’s vivid story telling. An example of her powerful writing is the way she paints a tantalizing picture of the overwhelming effect the twins have on Spring. Someone recently asked the question if “fated mates” had become clichéd or over used in fiction. My response was similar to several others in that it depends on how the writer develops the relationship outside of the influence of “fate”. Ms. McKenzie does an exceptional job of creating chemistry and growth between Spring, Adam and Brock. By the way, in case you didn’t know, NEVER give wolfhound shifters high doses of caffeine…just take my word on that! Spring Comes to Sanctuary is the first book in the Welcome to Sanctuary series. There are three more Ryan siblings, with Spring’s brother Winter’s book already available for reading as well. The whole series looks to be wonderfully conceived and plotted out. I’ve read Winter’s story and I’m anxiously awaiting younger sister’s Summer and Autumn to find their HEA’s as well. Pick up a copy of Spring’s story and be prepared to be drawn into a world fated mates and love everlasting." -- Honeysuckle, Whipped Cream Reviews

4 NYMPHS: "Spring Comes to Sanctuary is a fun, fast paced story about the Sullivan family, a family of Irish Wolfhound shifters. Spring is one of four siblings named after each season. I had to laugh when I read that little whimsical fact. The chemistry between Spring, Adam, and Brock will scorch the pages, but all of them are a little insecure. There is also a twist that is all too true to life and has caused quite a bit of anguish for Spring. Some of the facts about the men in the Sullivan family are intriguing. I am looking forward to reading about the rest of the family in the future." -- Amazon Nymph, Literary Nymphs Reviews

4 STARS: "This is an awesome book! There is love, romance, and heat. There is anal sex, oral sex, and m/f/m. The passion is hot, so this is not for the faint of heart."-- Stephanie Rollins, Book Reviews R Us
