This is book three of the Syndicate Masters: Northern Lights series. This book was written in much the same way as the other two books. A male finds his mate and wants to claim her and take her back to his Pride/Clan/Etc.. however she fights him tooth and nail until she can no longer deny her feelings for him. This storyline gets old the more times you read it. While this one was different in a couple ways, the end result was still the same.

The main difference with this book is that she has more of a connection to her Tiger than any of the other characters did or do. This however is not ever explained which drives me absolutely crazy cause it is a huge cliff hanger that is mentioned throughout the book multiple times..

The other part that doesn't get solved, is where did the original painting go. And did the person that she captured get jail time (I know they made him videotape his confession, etc, but stating so would have been beneficial).

After book two I kind of knew how this one was going to play out and it bored me. The author needs to change up her storyline with each book, just cause the first time worked so good doesn't mean the next one will too. It gets old the more times you do it.

Great read, couldn’t put it down. When Rhys sets out to find out what happened to her sister, she finds that Lars is everything she dreamed of, and a lot she didn’t. When he offers to be her DOM for the night little does she know that he decides she’s going to be much more then just a sub!

I received a complimentary copy of this book from NetGalley. The opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

Rhys Donovan is looking for her missing sister. Rhys can determine if a painting is fake or real. In her search for her sister, who was an agent of Interpol and was trying to take down Lars Jakcobsson, leader of the Berserker Syndicate and a white tiger shifter. Rhys meets Lars at a BDSM club and hopes she can get him to tell her anything about her sister. Right away Lars knows Rhys is his fated mate. So while having sex, he bites her. When someone breaks in her apartment, her tiger comes forward and saves her life. She’s not that upset about the tiger but she is upset because Lars didn’t ask her. Will Lars convince her she belongs with him?

Now honestly I almost stopped reading. Just something about the first totally confused me. Once I got started I didn’t want to put it down. The end ,to me, sort of left me hanging. The epilogue wasn’t even about them. Rhys and Lars sort of got on my nerves. I can’t explain why. Shifters. Sex. Action.

Fun!

OTT alpha takes charge when it comes to his feisty, unsuspecting mate and entertainment abounds with a dash of action to keep you on your toes.

I voluntarily read an advanced copy.

Judgment
3 Stars

This book isn't what I expected, nor was it to my taste. I was looking for a fast, fun shifter romance to read by the pool. However, Judgment was a much heavier read. From the beginning, I found it difficult to connect with our Alpha male lead, Lars. He's too overbearing and often falls into rude jerk territory for me. Rhys is smart, confident and sassy, and she's way more likeable than Lars. I believe most of my negative feelings began because the book opens in a BDSM club. So, our first interaction was in the bedroom, which left me feeling cold without having any emotional connection to our two main characters. I don’t typically read Dom/Submissive stories, and I found these characters lacked the trust and respect needed for a relationship dynamic like this to work. Lars didn't have consent to mark Rhys, and he didn't care. So, even with the character development and the relationship improving throughout the book, it wasn't a satisfying read for me. More bittersweet. This is a very spicy read, but I kept falling out of this story and it made it difficult to finish.

Overall, this book didn't work out for me. Everyone's mileage may vary. I'm not a BDSM fan or enjoy instant attractions. So that made this a less satisfying read for me. Thanks, NetGalley, for providing me with a digital ARC for an honest review.

Lars a Mafia boss/tiger shifter Alpha finds his true mate at a BDSM club. She is there to find out who has taken her sister, who works for Interpol. There's danger and suspense, bossy Alphas and the powerful draw of finding the one you are meant to be with forever. I read this book on Netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

Warning, Steam Level Super Hot!

I thoroughly enjoyed this book. I love romantic and steamy books and don’t normally read any Dom/Submissive type of stories but I must admit this had just the right amount to make it interesting, hot and steamy. This is only the second shifter romance I have read and I must say I will be reading more from this Author.

Lars the Alpha and Winter Tiger leader instantly knew when he first set eyes on Rhys that she was his mate. After an amazing sex session he bit her and made her his mate. Rhys who was looking for her lost sister which is why she made herself available to Lars disappeared before he woke up the following morning. Lars determined to find her before her Tiger claimed her finally found her only to see her transition had already been done. Her Tiger had come forward to save her life.

Knowing how much danger she was in, he set his team in motion to find her sister and find out why she was being framed for something she did not do, he finally caught up to her and disciplining her when she continued to run away from him.

Warning this story is not for the faint hearted. A fast paced story with lots of intrigue with an amazing sexy Alpha, sex scenes and HEA. Perfect!

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book and all thoughts and opinions are my own.

Thank you NetGalley for the opportunity to read and review this ARC title.

A big thank you to NetGalley and the author for the ARC. I am voluntarily reviewing this book. This is part of a series, but reads great as a stand alone. I enjoyed most of the book-it held my interest, the intrigue and the art aspect. The sex was consensual so I shouldn't be mad, I didn't really like Lar's attitude but he grew on me. I did like Rhys a lot. Overall, a quick fun read, parts of it were sad but the ending was satisfying. I totally did not understand the Epilogue though. 4 stars
