Feline Shifter Sean Morrissey is the guardian. Tasked with the safety and care of an ancient swords that releases shifter souls in their moment of death he is forever on guard. The sword must always come first in his life. Fearful that he will never find a mate of his own he agrees to mate-claim an unknown half-lupine half-fae shifter that is seeking refuge in his town sight unseen. When Sean lays eyes on Andrea Grey he realizes that he's done for. From the moment these two meet there is a bond between them that just can't be denied. He wants her, and he plans to accomplish that. It doesn't matter how long he has to wait for his other half.Andrea has other plans. Accepting his mate-claim only to be able to relocate she is unprepared for Sean Morrissey. Even feeling the mate bond between them she refuses to give in to those feelings. Add in that most shifters detest the fey and you have a fight waiting to happen.Out of all the Shifters Unbound books I've read so far Sean is my favorite character. He is strong and closed off in every way because of his responsibilities as guardian. I loved the fact that from the start he cared for and protected Andrea not expecting anything in return. He accepted her even though she was part fey and didn't care what anyone else thought.Andrea was complex. She wanted the life she always dreamed about not the one where everyone looked down on her because of her fey heritage and she refused to give in to anyone regardless of them being more dominant than her. It was refreshing to watch her come into herself and accept who and what she really was fully.There were some surprises thrown in that I originally didn't see coming. The mystery and betrayl added more to the storyline than just a romance between two seemingly (at first glance) uncompatiable shifters. 3,5 en realidadMejor que el anterior, una trama un poco más elaborada (aunque para mi gusto, la relación entre los protagonistas se soluciona demasiado pronto...) y dejándonos ver poco a poco, pequeños retazos de lo que se va cociendo en estos "suburbios" de cambiantes y cómo se va cociendo una futura revolución (o al menos un enfrentamiento).Eso sí, las portadas son horrendas a dolor :_____D
Jennifer does it again. Lover her shifters. Shifter and fae heroes and heroines all rock.
