Plot and Story Line
White Tiger the most latest release in the Shifters Unbound series is simply fantastic and I had a ball of fun with this one. It was slightly different, but ever since getting introduced to Kendrick, I have been wanting his story. I loved his cubs (Two white tiger cubs that stole my heart in the first two pages), and his fighting spirit to protect those he is over to protect. We see some great chemistry between Kendrick and Addison with the first few pages you are hooked completely on their story. But what I loved was how intense the story got quite quickly from the start. We see two strangers go pretty quickly to a couple fighting for each other and to live in the way they want to without fear of their enemies finding them. What I loved was seeing the new base of operations for Kendrick and his clan. A all but deserted large ranch except for one charming old man, who is lonely and is intrigued by shifters. He welcomes them with open arms and accepts them as they are. This is a great moment of bonding between Kendrick, Addison and the cubs. Then they get some visitors. Some that are welcome and some that Kendrick is antsy about including our infamous and my favorite shifter “Tiger”. Tiger is a talented tracker, but he finds them by sensing Addison and the cubs. I loved seeing his character play a vital role in this story, since he is my favorite to see. Then we get some other characters and a small side plot for another romance between two of Kendrick’s uncollared shifters. I really liked that bonus, since they were so cute. Not your normal couple either, definitely opposite but endearing all the same. We have a scary villain, who really adds some threats and suspense to the story that keeps you on edge for a bit. But what an edge!!! I found the villain played an important role for the story, because we see how strong Kendrick and Addison’s relationship truly is, and what they are willing to do to fight for one another and the people they love. I am eager for what is up next from this author.
The Cover
What a cover!!! I love tigers, and the cool colors that are used, are the perfect touch.
