I received "Forbidden Griffin" by Zoe Chant as an ARC. "Forbidden Griffin" is a shifter romance between two exiled griffins. While trying to avoid too many spoilers, Cela is exiled from Griffin Island because her babies were not born griffins. A nice enforcer suggests she find Tyr to help her out. Needless to say, Cela and Tyr get a lot more than they bargained for when they meet and Tyr helps Cela get used to living in a human world, as Cela had never been off the island. They'd make a nice family... if only they could touch. The story follows Tyr and Cela's journey to break their curse and become a family along the way. It's a sweet story of new beginnings and second chances, as well as new and blended families. Though this is the 8th book in Chant's Bodyguard Shifters series, it is easily read as a standalone, though there are a few references to things that happened in prior books. I will definitely be going back to read the other books
