    About this audiobook

    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.

    Contains mature themes.

      Zander and Rae definitely had a lot to deal with! It seems like everything and everyone was thrown at them as they encounter problem after problem, situation after situation. We really got to see the effect of being goddess touched with these two, and how they affect those that they are around. Having Broderick get upset at being around the sword again was a definite LOL moment in the midst of some heavy happenings. Two strong shifters, some impossible situations they maneuver through, and a mating where out-of-control relatives is the bar to reach <3
    • 5/5
      Jennifer Ashley’s GUARDIAN'S MATE is an exciting adventure worthy of the Shifters Unbound Series. Wolf Shifter Rae Lyall is the first woman ever chosen to be a Guardian. She heads from her Montana Shiftertown to Alaska to train with Zander Moncrieff, a polar bear Shifter/healer. The two face numerous threats, needing to make sure they are not caught by Shifter Bureau. This contemporary PNR is suitable for adult audiences.I really like both Rae and Zander. They get off to a rocky start. Rae is given the job of Guardian. A position she does not want and one other shifters are not supporting her in. Zander just wants to be left alone. The two are stuck with each other and make the best of the situation. They have great chemistry and entertaining conversations.Rae is young is shifter years, just recently undergoing her Transition. Rae has no idea who her birth parents are. She was adopted by the feline leader of the Montana pack. Zander is a fun character. He is over one hundred and fifty years old. He is a collarless polar bear shifter that everyone thinks is insane. He is a goddess-touched gifted healer that cares greatly about the shifter race. I love that characters from previous Shifter Unbound books make an appearance in this story, particularly, Dylan and Sean Morrissey.I enjoyed the plot. It was fast paced and exciting. There were interesting twists and lots of obstacles to overcome. GUARDIAN'S MATE is a wonderful fit with the rest of the series. I’m looking forward to Jennifer Ashley’s next book in the series.Complimentary copy provided by NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
