Red Wolf (A Shifters Unbound Novel Book 10)

Interesting addition to the series. You see a lot of old favorite characters including the haunted house. Good addition to the series.

FINAL DECISION: A friends to lovers story with an exciting mythology laden plot, Dimitri and Jaycee -- red wolf and leopard -- are an exciting pairing.THE STORY: Shifter Dimitri is a red wolf and has had to fight for most of his life because of his uncommon nature and because of his stutter. He has mate claimed leopard shifter Jaycee but she hasn't decided whether or not to accept his claim. When they are asked to investigate some shifters who are involved in mysterious and perhaps dangerous actions, the two are challenged both in their relationship and also their lives.OPINION: This friends to lovers story has depth because these characters are challenged again and again in their relationship. There is also an intriguing story that keeps the pace of the novel hopping. Dimitri and Jaycee are already comfortable together but the story asks the question -- are they meant to be together forever as mates or is their friendship with occasional benefits what they are meant to have.Jaycee is a strong, kick-butt heroine. She is certainly Dimitri's equal the two are partners and friends who are challenging one another. I loved how their relationship develops as challenges comes from all quarters. Again and again, these two have to evaluate what they want from their relationship.There is a little slow start to the story, but once Dimitri and Jaycee are off on their mission, the pace picked up quite a bit.I love the Shifters world and this book expands the mythology of the series in ways that I can't wait to see what develops.WORTH MENTIONING: This book has a reveal that sets up the next stage of the overarching storyline.CONNECTED BOOKS: RED WOLF is the tenth book in the Shifters Unbound series. This series is much better read in order although the romance is self-contained in this book.STAR RATING: I give this book 4 stars.

If you thought Shiftertown’s were weirdly communal you’ve got a whole new level of messed up to deal with in Red Wolf.Dimitri and Jaycee are two of Kendrick’s best trackers. When Kendrick sends them on a mission to New Orleans to find out why shifters are coming up missing, they encounter what can only be called a shifter cult, run by the bear shifter Brice.The action I’ve come to expect from the Shifter’s Unbound series is present here in spades. Something is always happening and there never seems to be time for Dimitri and Jaycee to just settle back and explore whether or not they’re actually mated. Dimitri has made the claim, now it’s up to Jaycee to accept or deny the claim. The back and forth internal debate that Jaycee goes through was so frustrating.So, while I love that the action is fast and the world building that Ashley has done is extensive, I just wanted Dimitri and Jaycee to get down to will she or won’t she! They’re perfect for each other but outside influences are pushing them into a decision that could go either way and I had no idea which direction it was going to end up going.This can definitely be read as a stand alone. But, you’re going to get so much more from it if you read the rest of the series. It’s a fun shifter series with some twists I’ve not seen in other shifter books and they all have some crazily loveable characters.I would read this series for Ben, Tiger and Zander alone, but Dimitri is right up there with them and I’m going to keep on reading until I find out if the Fae finally get the butt kicking they deserve and all of my favorite shifters find their true mates.

Once again Jennifer Ashley has given her Shifter's Unbound readers an excellent story with well defined characters and great plot. I have always loved Jennifer Ashley's writing as she has always kept true to her paranormal world. She has never 'changed' the rules as her series moves forward.Red Wolf is the story of destined mates, the lovely leopard Jaycee Bordeaux and the sexy rare red wolf, Dimitri Kashnikov. Both are trackers from Kendrick's clan of unchained Shifter's that reside on a ranch in Texas. Dimitri has known from the start that Jaycee was his; Jaycee on the other hand, has known it deep down, but was has needed more convincing.Sent on a mission to New Orlean's to find out what's really going on with a group of Shifter's, the two find themselves not only in a sentient house, (owned by the Shifter mate Jasmine Samuelson, 'Jazz', mate of Mason McNaughton ~ who we met in Wild Things), but among Shifter's they are not sure they can trust. There are new Shifter's introduced in this book as well as a few new Fae beings. We also get to catch up with old favorites. I always like reading about Tiger; especially learning the name of his cub ~ Seth.As always with Jennifer Ashley's writing, the story keeps the reader invested. Including the two main characters, the other characters add to the story very well. Unfortunately, the next Shifter's Unbound book won't be out until 2018!

It seems like eons since I read the first part of this series. This book has sat in my library languishing for a very long time. After being unable to get into any of my newer books over the last few days I decided to read this as I knew I enjoyed the series and the characters were familiar. Sometimes we need the comfort of familiarity, even in books.This book revolves around Jaycee and leopard shifter and her Tracker partner and best friend, red wolf shifter, Dimitri. They were raised from their teens together and are inseparable. Recently they had sex after their community leader went into a mating frenzy and dragged them with him. In the aftermath, Dimitri mate-claimed Jaycee and she has yet to decide if she will accept or reject him. She thinks he did it because he thought it would help control her and keep her safe during a dangerous interlude.Their leader Kendrick decides to send them on a mission to assess if shifters are betraying their own kind by siding with the fae who enslaved them for centuries. They are eventually approached by a wolf shifter who invites them to New Orleans.There are all sorts of antics in New Orleans, with a goblin, a sentient house and fae. They have to decide if they are going to fight for their relationship, or try to do their duty.Theirs is an interesting relationship because they’ve been friends for years. It makes a nice change to have shifter relationships not being insta-love ones.This series is well written and interesting. The characters continue through the series, which is always nice, as it often covers the main characters of previous books so it’s almost like a continuing epilogue. Having a continuing battle with the fae and the human authorities gives the series cohesion and means a new plot doesn’t have to be established in each book.The book is enjoyable and helped me get out of my reading funk.

WOW, this series just gets better and better. Dimitri the Red Wolf who is very rare is fabulous and he and Jaycee are just such an amazing team. This book takes on a new direction, and the reader will wonder where it will eventually end. Keep writing Jennifer, you are one of my favourite authors. Just love them shifters.

Good, but an in between story. Not much progress in the plot line, although in the end....well, I won't give away a spoiler. So you must read this book as well, as the main characters are apparently important in the coming books and the story line.

Can't wait for the next one . I have enjoyed all the book's in this. Shifters unbound but this has been the best.

Interesting story.
