Dimitri Kashnikov is a red wolf shifter, a fighter,
bodyguard and tracker. He has a speech impediment so to
make up for this, he fights in whatever format needed to get
the job done and shut people up. Jaycee Bordeaux is a
leopard shifter who sometimes follows the rules but when it
comes to Dimitri she is willing to break a few for her RED WOLF.
They work together and fight together and when asked to
infiltrate a group of shifters suspected of capturing and
enslaving other shifters, they are ready. Dimitri always had
a thing for and claimed her but is waiting for Jaycee to
accept, as he will not force her. This gets harder,
especially as they are preparing to act like a pair for the
next mission.
RED WOLF is author Jennifer Ashley's Shifter's
Unbound series at its best. She has taken two
shifters who were introduced in a previous book and given
them their own story, which is something that her readers
awaited. I loved Dimitri and felt so bad for his stuttering,
but noticed that once things moved on with Jaycee and his
past became clearer then that lessened. The past came back
to him when he finds the enemy of the story and gets revenge.
Jaycee was kick-butt in the past and nothing changed in this
one, but she gave me a hard time for seeming so clueless on
Dimitri's true feelings. Well, in the end the HEA came for
them so the bumps in the road only made for a superb read.
Past characters come back and new ones join this shifter
world filling out the storyline and hopefully leading to
more books in this series.
If you are looking for hot shifters, some collared some
not, crazy bad guys that the hero and heroine are more than
happy to take down and a romance with just the perfect
amount of steam then RED WOLF is the book you need.
A man is only as strong…
Red wolf Shifter Dimitri has fought his whole life for
respect. It is claimed that red wolves are tainted with
coyote blood and therefore not pure. He may not be skilled
at verbally defending himself, but as a bodyguard, tracker,
and champion of the fight clubs, his fists are always ready
for some rough and tumble. However, he’d prefer a roll in
the hay with the woman who’s been his oldest friend.
…as the woman who’s got his back…
A spirited leopard Shifter and a fellow tracker, Jaycee
Bordeaux has no problem forging a mate bond with Dimitri,
but soon the two are called to infiltrate a rogue group bent
on enslaving Shifters. Jaycee may have defended Dimitri from
taunts before, but they now face a more lethal danger—one
that not only threatens the future of their people, but also
their love.
