Genre: Paranormal Romance
Series: Shifters Unbound #1
Pages: 304
The premise of the supernatural community in this series is really interesting. Shifters are out of the closet but they don’t really live among humans. They have communities that are separated, where they can live by their own rules and in a pack atmosphere.
And they are also collared.
That was the most interesting concept to me. This collar actually controls the animal tendencies, prevents them from becoming violent, and ultimately humans feel safe around a collared shifter. All pack shifters are required to wear it by law and can’t be taken off.
So how do you explain that a collared, pack shifter is being accused of murdering his very human, and now very dead, girlfriend. It is up to Kim Frasier to uncover what really happened and defend him. She’s a lawyer and this is her big break case. And if it takes her getting cozy with a strong shifter to get the help she needs, then she’s the girl for the job.
But let me tell you about Liam. In fact, let me tell you about the Morrissey family. Sexy irish accents, roguish bad boy good looks and behavior, and tons of sex appeal. I want some of that! Even though I really liked Liam, I am very curious about Sean.
The story was entertaining enough but even though the premise was original it fell just a bit flat to me. But I can’t wait to read Sean’s story so I’m hurrying along with these.

I get easily distracted by pictures of sexy guys and have tons of book boyfriends.I keep all my alpha males chained to my basement and guard them fiercely.*Back off bitches*I like to see Jason Momoa as a lot of those boyfriends, because ….. mmmmmmm JASON.MOMOA!
I’m a part time graphic designer (yes, everything you see on UTC has been done by me), run my husband's business from home and on a good day I’m a self appointed superwoman (she who can do it all).I love blogging with my girls and I couldn’t do it any other way!My first love is everything paranormal, but in the past few years I’ve re-learned to love contemporary romance.Every once in a while I like to mix things up with a historical romance, a steampunk or an LGBT book.Because I need variety to avoid book slumps.I don’t always need an HEA although I prefer one, and I love authors that can rip my heart out and make me ugly cry.

That does sound different. I haven’t read these. Thanks for the share!
Audio books just don’t do it for me. I read this book and the book that comes after and loved both of them.
I’ve read them and can’t wait for the next book in the series! I really enjoyed them but I don’t know if it would make it onto my list of favourites….
Great review.

This sounds really interesting, haven’t a shifter story with that spin yet!!!
I have the paperback. I don’t know if that makes a difference, because I’ve never tried audio, but I enjoyed it and Primal Bonds which was the next book in the series. They are not my all time favorites by no means, but I enjoyed them. I’d say they are worth reading!
It’s an original idea, i saw this book as a prize for a giveaway so i wanted to learn more about it
Your review decided me, i will try it ^^
thanks you a lot
Oh I hate it when I really want to like a book but the audio/voice just doesn’t do it justice. But I’m glad to see it’s worth it maybe in pb or ebook. Thanks for the review.
This book sound interesting, love story about shifter 🙂
Ive never tried an audio book but i can imagine if read wrong you loose the flow that you would have in your own head.
Great review it definitely seems quite original !
This one’s on my TBR in print–I haven’t tried an audio book, but I no longer spend long enough commuting where that would make sense in the car 🙂
