WHITE TIGER is Book 8 in Jennifer Ashley's Shifters
Unbound series. If you love paranormal romance and
books
about shapeshifters, you can never go wrong with a
Jennifer Ashley romance. Although one or two familiar
characters pop up in WHITE TIGER, I think readers new to
the series can jump into WHITE TIGER because the setting
is very different from all the previous books. Jennifer
Ashley starts things off with a bang when, right after
readers are introduced to waitress Addison Price, people
are shooting, the hot hero is transforming into a beast,
and Addison soon goes on the run with a single dad Shifter
and his three young cubs. Along the way, Jennifer Ashley
manages to throw some humor and some holy-cow-wow sexy
times in with all the chaos and danger.
Parts of WHITE TIGER are evocative of a classic western,
with the dude ranch setting and the outlaws up to no good,
all heading
toward a major showdown in the end. Perhaps
more importantly, while the hero might be a Shifter
rather than a cowboy, Kendrick has the slow, steady,
absolutely sexy, honorable hero thing locked down. I love
that the major conflict in WHITE TIGER is external to the
romance, and Addison and Kendrick work together rather
than have any antagonism between each other. Kendrick's
little boys are adorable and prove yet again how great
Jennifer Ashley is at creating child characters. The
danger and threat from the villain is very real in WHITE
TIGER, and the mystery surrounding who might have
betrayed Kendrick adds a huge dose of suspense to the
story. However, as with previous books by Jennifer
Ashley, the overarching themes of family and belonging
makes WHITE TIGER so emotionally powerful and enjoyable.
The sense of connection and belonging also adds to the
intimacy in the relationship between Addison and Kendrick
and ratchets up the hot factor.
WHITE TIGER has a first-rate hero, exceptional
storytelling, and a seductive and sweet romance to
satisfy any fan. I liked seeing favorite familiar
characters like Tiger, and I enjoyed the mix of old and
new characters. It was great to see what enigmatic
Shifter patriarch Dylan Morrisey is up to when he's not
in the Austin Shiftertown. I can't wait to find out what
surprises and delights Jennifer Ashley has in store for
the next installment of this phenomenal Shifters
Unbound series.
Wanted and on the run...
For twenty years, Kendrick, a white tiger Shifter, has
been the Guardian of un-Collared Shifters who spend their
lives living in secret—and in fear of being shunted into
Shiftertowns. When Kendrick’s group is discovered and
forced to flee, Kendrick is more desperate than ever to
protect them
His only salvation was in a beautiful stranger.
In a diner in the middle of nowhere, lonely waitress
Addison Price has seen a lot of unusual drifters come and
go, but none has ever captivated—and intimidated—her like
the imposing fugitive who wields a broadsword with
incredible skill. But when he risks all to protect her,
Addison’s fear turns to empathy—and empathy to desire as
she learns more about her savior. Soon she’s more than
willing to help the crushingly sensual white tiger and
his cubs in a passionate bid for freedom. Whatever the
cost.
