About this listen
Chosen as the Guardian of her Montana Shiftertown, wolf Shifter Rae Lyall is facing opposition - for no woman has ever been selected for this powerful position. Still adjusting to the new authority thrust upon her, Rae travels to train with Zander Moncrieff, a Shifter healer, tasked with teaching her about her new role and its responsibilities.
A polar bear Shifter, Zander wears no collar and follows no rules but his own. Rae finds him arrogant and demanding, yet compelling and intriguing. Zander has no wish to mate, but the sassy Guardian is drawing him out of his shell, stirring feelings long suppressed. And when a new threat looms over Rae's home, she and Zander must race to the rescue, forced closer to danger and to each other.

But her venture into Shiftertown uncovers too many secrets the shifters want kept secret. The unmated Liam is forced to protect Kim against the wrath of his clan leader and his own father. What Liam doesn't expect when he makes the mate claim for Kim's own protection is a powerful attraction to the courageous and warm-hearted human woman.

Cat shifter Bree Dwyer doesn't fear much. Ironically, what she fears most is the person who was put on the Earth just for her. Your true mate wasn't supposed to be cruel and twisted; wasn't supposed to be someone who'd never love or want to claim you. The rumors that her true mate is dead bring her only relief. Bree's intent on moving forward with her life and building a future with someone else. Sadly, the male she wants most is one she can never have - a hot-as-sin wolverine shifter who happens to be her boss...and the cousin of her predestined mate.

Story
Looking back with wiser eyes now, my family and I concluded that the events leading up to my transformation started during the summer I turned nine. But the day we realized there was a problem - and there was no turning back - was a week before I started my senior year at Junction City High. That was the day the fangs and claws appeared, and the monster inside me emerged. When mutilated corpses appeared near a pile of brush down by Caney Creek, everything changed.

I keep my head down. In this backward pack, females rank low, and my bad leg makes me damaged goods. It doesn’t help that I’ve never shifted. I don’t mind the late-20s single life, though. No one’s paying any attention as I build an illicit farmer’s market empire. My roomies and I are doing it for ourselves, and if life under Killian Kelly is stifling, at least it’s predictable. We can deal. But when biology finally kicks in, I lose my mind. I claim our alpha as my mate. And he rejects me in front of the whole pack.

Story
Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

I love it
I fell in love with this series and my favorite person is definitely Tiger and that was also my favorite book and I love how sometimes it's shifter with shifter and other times shifter and human and with every book the danger is more dangerous than before. Since most of this series is narrated by Cris Dukart it really threw me off for the other books that was narrated by someone else and there are some stories that were SUPER short like lone wolf I was really looking forward to that one but I still really loved this series and I really hope red wolf comes out soon on audible

Goddess touched...
I loooved this story! It’s a bit different than the others and I think that’s what added an extra bit of whoa to the story.
Rae, a lupine guardian. The only female guardian, and Zander, a Goddess touched polar bear healer are an odd couple for many reasons. The Goddess has a sense of humor it seems, or she’s just a wee bit crazy herself.
The battles they have to over come, like being “captured” by a human bounty hunter determined to turn them in sets them off on a crazy train ride that has them going a hundred miles an hour to not only save their bacon but others now in their care. It’s not everyday a female guardian comes into the fold, nor is it everyday that the guardian finds a mate in the last person she would have expected.
I hope to see more of these two in the future!

This series is terrific!
I have enjoyed listening to this. The story follows through the series and the characters are very well portrayed. The narrator is very good, however, I would like to hear a males voice. I believe it would round out a very good listen.
