This is a fairly decent romance, with an action packed plot and some awkward erotic moments. Lord Ian Mackenzie is "mad", suffering from rages and dealing with social impairments that would place him on the autism spectrum today. Of course, at the time this story is set, autism hadn't yet been na...
Jennifer Ashley has written a captivating series that takes place in Austin, Texas. Hot, sexy shifters with protective natures, loving smart women. The Government Authorities have herded the shifters of various clans and breeds into societies who live in neighborhoods called Shiftertown. Fantasy ...
Mac Mackenzie and Lady Isabella's turbulent marriage and what led to their separation is told to us in snippets throughout the book. Also we slowly find out that Mac, like his brother Ian, has been damaged by the brutal treatment handed out by his father. In Mac's case in trying to beat the arti...
From this series I have read other books before this one. I like the way these series is written. The way Ainsley is used by the queen isn’t nice at all. But luckily she gets something else to do when she got the attention of Cameron. He is damaged by his first wife, but Ainsley is taken care for...
I enjoyed this book much more than the first in the series. We learn about Sean and Andrea and I loved hearing more about the sword and how the fae magic runs between Sean and the sword.Also how Andrea manipulated that power to help heal with her own fae magic! I also liked the world building in ...
After reading Ian's, Hart's story was the one I was looking forward to the most cuz His character has such presence. Unfortunately, that was all his story had. He has pride, I get it. She left him, I get it. He marries someone else and was brokenhearted when wife and child dies but instead of goi...
3.5 starsI’m not sure if I was in the right mood to read MATE CLAIMED but after starting it and putting it off for a week, I knew I needed to power through it. Overall, I enjoyed Eric and Iona, but they weren’t my favorite. It felt like this plot had been going on for a while since Eric met Iona ...
SummaryCassidy Warren is a dominant shifter female, second in command after her brother Eric, the Las Vegas shiftertown leader. Heartbroken and angry over the slaying of her mate a year ago she’s vowed to hunt down his murderers and make them pay for their crime, but while out honoring his memory...
I'm sorry, but this felt like a washed-out version of Ian's book. We have a hero with issues (and the whole "blank staring" and losing track of conversations is prominent in both books) and a pretty average heroine that falls for him and tries to help. I also didn't believe the whole "I wanted to...
Ah well. Married by a quirk of fate, he is a survivor of months of living hell at the hands of a vicious Afghani warlord. She is a jilted bride. They decamp instantly to a ruined faux-castle – not the ancestral pile but good enough because she needs a party – a big one – to show the world she mar...
Elliot y Juliana me han cautivado totalmente, como todas las novelas anteriores de esta saga. La verdad es que aunque Elliot no sea realmente un Mackenzie (es el hermano de Ainsley, la mujer de Cam) tiene ese toque salvaje y escocés de los hermanos protagonistas de los libros anteriores que me vu...
This is a hard one for me to write because I was so sure that I'd love it the way I loved the novels for all the individual characters represented, and yet I didn't love it. Not at all. Instead I found it trite, and boring, and try-hard. I couldn't be bothered to finish which has put me in a bit ...
What a better way to bring the entire Mackenzie’s together in one spot then a Christmas?That said, I must point out that if you’ve not read the earlier books in this series, you might be a bit lost and wonder who’s who in this book, but if you’ve read all the other books, you just have to have th...
Once again we have Ian at the center of attention. Don’t get me wrong…I LOVE Ian as if he walked this earth for real; however…It would be nice if he wasn’t ALWAYS the center of attention in these books. This book should have been titled “Christmas with Ian & Beth”…the whole MacKenzie clan is ther...
Whilst I enjoyed this book I didn't think it was quite as good as the previous ones. After hearing all about Daniel's sneaky tricks and wild adventures throughout the series I found him to be slightly tame in this book! The 'Wicked Deeds of Daniel Mackenzie' they certainly weren't.This book is th...
I really liked parts of this book, but am not too sure about other parts. I loved Daniel, he is a true MacKenzie but different at the same time. He had me melting. He is big, strong, passionate scotsman. Daniel is passionate about Motors, and like his uncles can become absorbed by his passion. H...
3.5 starsIt took me a while to really get into the story, but then I was hooked. I liked Violet and felt that her difficult circumstances were well portrayed.Unfortunately there were a couple of things that held this back from being a five-star rating. - By the end of the book I was rolling my ey...
When easygoing Daniel MacKenzie wins a bet, the loser takes him to a little house in the middle of the night to meet a woman who’ll make him forgive the debt. She’s not what you—or he--expects. Rather, she’s a medium, or pretends to be, and she does a fine job of putting on a séance for him and ...
First let me start out by saying this cover is absolutely beautiful. I have read a few of Jennifer Ashley's books and have yet to be disappointed. This book made me want to go back and read the entire series for the shifters.Frankly, the description for Spike is HOT! He is a werecat shifter who j...
This one seemed to drag on. This is a re-read for me. I liked this story.
Exactly what I needed - a light, easy romance to cheer me up. Depressing. Had trouble shaking it after reading it.
AMO A MAC Y A ISABELLA. Loved Mac, even more than Ian. Hot, hot, hot. Nice mystery to solve along with the romance.
Another Historical erotic romance. Very good one from Jennifer Ashley. This book is as good as the first. Running off to read the third in the series now!
I really love this series. Each member of the Mackenzie clan has my heart. I am so glad that I continued to read this series I have fallen in love!!!!
4.5 stars Love this series. :) Excellent 3rd book.
3+Series rating (Mackenzies #1-6): 7/10 (good)Favorites: #2, 3, 5 couldn't put it down. it was a really good read. passionate and hot.
Feline Shifter Sean Morrissey is the guardian. Tasked with the safety and care of an ancient swords that releases shifter souls in their moment of death he is forever on guard. The sword must always come first in his life. Fearful that he will never find a mate of his own he agrees to mate-claim ...
Quick read! Jace & Deni's chapter of the Shifters-verse is a great example of the things I love about this series. We see their connection, we learn more about them individually and as a couple. The overall story arc about the Collars is advanced, but doesn't feel like it's taking anything awa...
A fun, quick read, a victorian who-done-it involving Lloyd Fellows, half-brother to the clan Mackenzie. The opening was crackling, a bishop falls dead poisoned in the company of Lady Louisa, sister-in-law to Mac Mackenzie the artist, I think. The family calls on their illegit half-sibling and det...
I read this after reading nearly all the other Shifters Unbound series and I recommend you read at least one of the full-length novels before you read this one as the importance of the sword to the Shifters isn’t exactly emphasized in this novella. However, it is also a good start to the series i...
Seriously love this family of brothers and the fabulous women they marry! Read this book! Un vrai bonheur! Ya rien de plus à dire ^^
Ecrit pour remplir des pages!!! très déçue!!! The perfect ending to a perfect historical series with steamy, erotic scenes.
As usual, I'm a little bit sick of the love storyline. But I really really really loved the storyline about humans trying to make their own stronger shifters. That made the book worth reading, especially when Twenty Three (or Tiger Man) got introduced, my heart literally broke reading about all t...
Narrated by Cris Dukehart - A great introduction to Ashley's Shifters Unbound series. Exciting, funny, and sexy!
Sebastian and Roberta (Bertie): a widower who is still truly in love with his dead wife and a petty pickpocket. Quite an unlikely pair and it never really worked for me. Everything in the book was just a little too easy, from the way the kids started to behave, to dressing Bertie with beautifu...
This book was as if you were shown a sumptuous five course meal and were only allowed stay for the starter.Rose was a delight, a modern, independent woman, who dealt with drunks and evil stepsons with class, panache and kindness. Steven fell hard and once set sight of Rosie he wasted no time in m...
This was a cute book. None of the characters in the story are really related to each other, but somehow each couple ends up at the same Christmas ball at Hartwell House.The first story was probably my least favorite, but was still pretty good. It was about a young woman who lives in the househo...
Mayfair, London, 1810: Alexandra Alastair, a respectable young English widow, wonders if she dare add the new viscount who’s moved in next door to her list of potential husbands. He certainly doesn’t look like the gentlemen on her list—Grayson Finley, Viscount Stoke, is tall and sun-bronzed, mu...

Oh my God. Tiger.” Tiger heard Carly’s voice as he rose toward consciousness, toward a mountain of pain that waited for him. They’d shot him in the basement of the research facility, repeatedly, to see how much he could take, but they at least let him rest between bullets....
“Down the hatch.” “Cheers,” Misty said. They lifted their glasses at the same time and drank in one shot. The tequila burned Misty’s mouth like liquid fire. The rose petals felt strange against her tongue, but she made herself not spit them out. Som...
Cormac couldn’t have known him, had no business saying he had. She was shouting that as she bashed at his face, but Cormac blocked every blow with rapid efficiency. Finally Cormac grabbed her wrists and rolled over with her, pinning her against the ...
She almost missed them—they blended so well into the night. Kendrick’s ability to do so was uncanny. He could suddenly become unnoticeable, standing in perfect stillness while shadows seemed to swallow him. Both of them were doing that now. They were also standing very clo...
Petri stepped to the door and looked out as hurried footsteps converged on Lady Trask’s room. He watched a moment, then closed the door and returned to his task of carrying a glass of brandy to Damien. “Lady Trask, Highness,” he said. “Upset at the loss of the rubies, no doubt.” “Mmmph, I do not ...
Sean joined his father, whose eyes remained the light blue of his wildcat's. "You scared him good, Dad," Sean said. "But maybe put him on his guard? We don't need a Shifter-human gang war." "We won't have one." Dylan Morrissey scanned the alley, aware that others could be watching, and started fo...
She continued walking swiftly, pulling Olaf with her. The bear still protested, but he’d quit fighting her, seeming to understand that she’d won. Maria didn’t halt until she reached the sunlight and the spot where she’d dropped her big shoulder bag to go running inside aft...
"There was not much light in the halls, and more than one woman in England has black skin." Honoria watched Christopher pull himself in, trying to calm himself, and failing utterly. "If you are contemplating rushing over there and beating information out of the earl, do not," Mr. Henderson said s...
