Niall O'Connell is a master sword maker and a lion shifter. Like all shifters who lived and escaped being owned by the Fae, Niall strongly hates the Fae to put it mildly. So when he is approached by Alanna, a Fae who happens to be the sister to a powerful Fae prince, to make a sword for her immediately he says no. However Alanna's brother has already taken matters into his own hands to make sure Niall will comply with the demand. Alanna is not happy about her mission and knows that she will probably end up dead by the end of it - the question is by whose hands - her brother's or Niall's.Naill has no choice but to agree and yet he is shocked by the understanding and compassion he feels from Alanna. The time is short to produce this magical sword and yet it's long enough for Naill and Alanna to learn that sometimes shifters and Fae can come together for something more than battle - something like passion. Tension is high as first Alanna and then Naill confront Alanna's brother and discover the truth about why he wants the sword. When all is said and done is a sword created with magic, sweat and love enough to defeat a power hungry prince when it counts?A Fae princess and a shifter freed from slavery are two unlikely soul mates when passion finds them in Shifter Made. Right off I need to tell you I was really happy to see how the shifters guardians came into possession of the swords that freed souls. It filled in so many questions I had. I loved the soft compassion that Alanna had which covered a steel hard core of strength. I also loved that Naill was able to put aside his past and was able to see the goodness in Alanna. Seeing how Alanna's magic and Naill's artistry defeated her brother had me cheering in how right it was. Shifter Made is a must read for anyone who has been following the Shifters Unbound series. The instant and fierce emotions also make it a page turner.Jo for Joyfully Reviewed
