Jason Ayers is a surgeon and the pack doctor. Lately he has been dealing with the rage of not being able to treat his pack mates with human technology. To handle his rage, he's been going to fight clubs and avoiding people. Kilani Akamu is a nurse hiding out. When she helped out Jason, their lives seemed destined to be linked together. Jason never believed in true mates until Kilani touches his hand. Now he has to save her life and convince Kilani they were meant to be together. This story was very fast-paced and emotionally charged. Within the pages, both main characters go through a lot of changes and, for Kilani, a lot of self-actualization and dealing with a past she's avoided for years. I really enjoyed this book and look forward to reading more from this author. I recommend to anyone that likes this genre. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**

Jocelyn's brother Simon is best friends with her ex-husband Keaton. Keaton and Jocelyn had been divorced for 3 years. On Jocelyn's 30th birthday Keaton calls her to bail him out of jail and eventually demanding another chance. Jocelyn was an excellent character. I really enjoyed her. Every emotion possible was displayed through this story. Her strength and her weakness was Keaton. There were many ups and downs to bring this story to an awesome end. I read this story from the time I started until it was done without setting it down, even with going forth between past and present. It didn't matter in this case. It all came together perfectly. I loved the plot, the overall story and the characters. Every person wishes they had a Keaton in their life. I highly recommend. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**

Asher Ellison is the new addition to the Alpha Guardians. He's very stoic and kind of disconnected from the rest of the group. When the mate he deserted 15 years ago shows up on the guardians front lawn, he tries everything in his power to convince her of his feelings, except complete their mating. The group must also figure out who had kidnapped her and left her at their feet. Kira is a Reviver that doesn't really know anything about her powers, although she's starting to learn how powerful they are. This is the third full book in the Alpha Guardians Series. As with the other books in the series, this was good and one I couldn't stop once I started. I like how the author is able to find unique situations for each couple without having to deviate from the formula. I can't wait until the next book. I highly recommend this book and the series. **I received an ARC of this story in exchange for an honest review**
