Addison "Addie" Price is a waitress in a small town diner.
She accepts her life as it is, though she plans to go to
school to improve her lot. However, things change when a
man who reminds her of a WHITE TIGER and his three boys
walk into her life adding a much needed spark to her
humdrum world.
Kendrick, is a Guardian and a white tiger shifter who is
living in secret and on the run. He is the alpha of a group
of un-collared shifters who must live in secret. If found
they will be collared and forced to live in Shiftertowns.
The last thing he expects is a lovely human who stirs his
hardened heart. He never expects anything to come of his
meetings over pie until some of his unhappy shifters attack
the diner and force his hand. To keep Addie safe he has no
choice but to take her on the run with him until he can
find a safe haven for his people and perhaps find a way to
get Addie to stay with him.
WHITE TIGER by Jennifer Ashley is a phenomenal read. As
part of Ms. Ashley's Shifters
Unbound series this one
centers on the lives and trials of those un-collared
shifters who haven't been rounded up and basically
imprisoned. Kendrick is a good man, shifter and Guardian
(he and his sword send the dying shifters to their heaven),
who just might not be the greatest leader but with a little
help he is willing to learn to be what his shifters need.
Addie was a big surprise as a human thrown into the shifter
world she learned quickly about this new world, her place
in it and how to kick butt with the best of them. The
secondary characters add variety to the story line and of
course his boys were adorable even stoic Robbie who as the
adopted son wasn't sure of his place at times. The romance
was written in Ms. Ashley's usual steamy style, that should
please all romance readers. Of course, it was the
camaraderie that I am a sucker for that is there between
the little family and the members of the pack, that got to
me and left me wanting more. I love the jokes at each
others expense, the sniping, the moments of encouragement
and everybody having each others backs. There is a lot that
happens in this book that will give insight to this world
and the lives and feelings of the collared and un-collared
shifters. I cannot wait to see what Ms. Ashley has up her
sleeves for the next one. (There is a sneak preview at the
end of WHITE TIGER and it sounds like another winner!)
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.
