Introduction
Guardian's Mate is the 9th installment in the "Shifters Unbound" series and in this story we have the story of the bear friend to the stories previous "Zander" I can't tell you how much I ended up enjoying this one here. Just reading this made me realize why I love this series so much here and why it did so much for me. I really love the way that this author implemented this story with Zander and Rae. I loved seeing the Guardian in the book being the heroine. We have yet to see a female guardian and I loved the way that Jennifer Ashley developed this story in such a wonderful way.
My Outlook
Guardian's Mate is a story that bring two complete polar opposites from each other. The hero well is bold, honest and has connections to everyone, literally he probably knows everyone in the world that can help shifters Haha Then we have our heroine, who was adopted by her family as she was abandoned when she was just a cub. When the Goddess shines her light upon Rae and deems her a guardian, heads ROLL! How dare a woman be a guardian Haha Much of the shock comes from the fact that there has only been male guardians in the history of guardians, so it's more people need to come to terms with some change, people really don't like change at all. I really found the relationship with Zander and Rae to be fascinating. Their bantering is hilarious for sure, but they actually balance each other so well. We get some action to the serial plot of the series that I really got a kick out of too. It was fascinating seeing these two get mated and seeing them work through the issues that crop up with them.
The actual relationship that is focused between Rae and Zander, was interesting. At first we just see them working together on figuring out the guardian thing and spending some time in Alaska. We get to meet some new friends and man my heart just went out to Carl but loved how Zander and Rae were able to build a friendship with him. Then we get introduced to some feral shifters and yeah some pretty badass kick ass scenes here. There is a bit of mystery involving the guardian sword and trying to get it repaired without too many shifters finding out about it.
We do come across some of my favorite characters with Tiger, Ian, and Sean. And the humor of this book was so delicious, I had forgotten how funny this author can be in her witty banter but yeah you can bet that I will be continuing shortly with these books here.
Overall View
Guardian's Mate is a superb read that stole my heart in so many ways and I became so endeared to this story and most especially in seeing Zander finding his mate!
