Lupine Shifter Dimitri has always had to defend himself to other Shifters. As a red wolf, he’s not considered a “pure” wolf, and the battles have honed him into a tough fighter, a champion of the fight clubs. Jaycee Bordeaux, a leopard Shifter, is Dimitri’s staunchest defender and oldest friend. Dimitri is determined to turn that friendship into a mate bond.

Jaycee loves that idea, but she knows that a mate bond can’t be forced. And when Dimitri and Jaycee are called on to go undercover to protect collared Shifters, she knows the dangers ahead will make or break their future together.





I wasn't sure that Red Wolf was going to be a winner for me but it was the right struggle at the right time for our h/h and the right time for me to be open to their struggle and over coming their struggles each in their own way.
Usually I wouldn't care for the kind of on and off with eachother and not with eachother kind of thing but something about the way Ashley brought both Dimitri and Jaycee to life, the way she made them easy to relate to flaws and all made me like their struggles all the more. I gotta hand it to Ashley. I fell in love with Red Wolf and enjoyed it from beginning to end. It was definitely the right read at the right time.




Until next time book lovers...

In search of a fresh start, Emma Baxter has traveled to Scotland to try to forget her rocky love life. Luckily, the gorgeous Highlander who owns the house up the path from her rental cottage might be exactly the kind of distraction she needs. But there’s more to his intriguing qualities than she can explain—and she certainly isn’t buying into the local legends of Highland magic.

Nathaniel MacLeod is a man adrift, all thanks to the unwanted gift that forces him to continually jump between centuries. He never knows if he’ll wind up in the present day or the fourteenth century, but when Emma follows him back through time, he suddenly has more to worry about than keeping his separate lives straight…

Someone has started to notice Nathaniel’s travels and now, no time period is safe, for him or for Emma.



I really hated rating this book two stars but it was fairly difficult for me who hadn't read the previous book to really hop right into. While its not totally necessary I don't think there are quite a few details and characters that appear to carry over with information that left me on the outside looking in without any real context.
I did like the thriller / suspense kind of angle that was written into this book however it left me contused as to what this book was really supposed to be.
Its very well written and its a great read and I liked the idea but because I didn't have any real grasp on it I think that left me more at a loss than anything. If you haven't read the previous books in this series I highly suggest it so that you have a better understanding on what's going on where the added information is included, if you have read it I'm sure its a new installment to the MacLeod series that you will very much enjoy.
