Review: Fans of the series will love it -

The one thing that remains constant with this series is that you love it - or you don't like it at all.  With the secrecy surrounding the Woods brothers and their issues with behaviour when claiming a mate, there are several pieces of the story that are unsettling.  In this, fourth and final book in the series, as all the brothers are mated, we focus on Jack and his story.This book was my least favorite of the 5 (including the prequel) that I have read.  While it did manage to enlighten readers about the "secret" that isolated the family it didn't feel  dramatic enough to me to warrant the isolation, even with the suspension of disbelief required to read a shifter romance.  And while the sex scenes were scorching, there was a basic level of unsettled that rolled off Lillian in waves, her refusal to capitulate to the very alpha dominant Jack almost left a taste of "forced" over the scenes to me, which was never really reconciled with Lillian's attitude or approach.  It wasn't a typical route to a happily ever after that was more common to the other books, and outing a `villain' in an unexpected twist only seemed to leave more questions unanswered.Fans of the other books will most certainly be fans of this volume, and as a series it does open up some hitherto unseen options for a shifter romance series.  Mandy Harbin is a storyteller to watch, and I am curious to see what other tales she will spin.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for The Jeep Diva. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility.
