How does she do it?
I don't have many words right now, which is rather unfortunate for a review. But...sometimes I still can't believe how amazing TS Joyce's books are. They blow me away every time, and this one took my breath away.
There was such a strong connection, right away. Between the characters and the reader. Such intense emotion throughout the book. I laughed, I cried, I connected. I felt everything the characters felt, so strongly. I was immediately drawn to Winter, the heroine. I felt ...more

Liked the hero much more than the heroine. She was too weepy about her ex mate who cheated on her and abandoned her.
For a change the "get you head out of your ass" tag is for the heroine! The ex drama is all about her ex. No OW drama! Yippee!
I felt like I was missing something not having read the previous series. But I was not intrigued enough to go backwards.

Interesting. I found myself wishing for more story. Would be worth reading the next book just to see where the story goes. I did like the world building. I liked the rest of the team as well. Their HEA's may be interesting.

I can tell already that this series will be my favourite!!
It's litterly going to be a pack full of nut jobs!! The excitement is containable for now. Eeeeek.
I loved this book, I love a broken hero who's saved by the lady and I also loved both winter and logan, they are perfect for eachother. The story was fast paced and packed full of sarcastic wit, stuiped humor, real hot sexy time and some great fight scenes.
I can't wait for the next!! ...more

You Settled The Storm In Me!!!
Winter Donovan, a Feline (Panther) shifter was a city shifter, but things went wrong then she found herself in a dark place until she went to the Red Havoc Crew. Technically she wasn't a member, just stayed there because she didn't know where else to go.
She was in love with Brody but the man betrayed her when he strayed leaving her heartbroken and feeling like she didn't belong. Even the Alpha of the Havoc Crew, Benson Saber (we met him in BLACKWING DRAGON ) knew ...more

We’re about to begin new adventures with a brand newly created crew in Kane’s Mountains.

Could any of her books get any better, I honestly did not think they could but wow even triple wow. It sure did get better.
Logan and Winter both looking for something and hoping to find it on Kane's Mountains. Winter running from a past so different from others, when she finds the help she needs she is taking a step in the right direction to self healing, she even found a mate who in the end betrayed her by taking another mate and further hurting Winter.

In my opinion, the dragon stories are among the best of Joyce’s related series. On to the next one!
Great read! I love this new crew and can't wait to see where they end up.

I probably shouldn't have laughed, but I did when Ryder started to advertise for Kane to get a crew. Kane is so prickly, that going this route would have been something that never occured to him, yet it was what he needed. Of course there were a ton of people that showed up, but the most promising ones were the misfit screwed up ones. Sure Kane didn't want them because they were screwed up, but these are just the people that will understand Kane himself.

Pretty good start
Good start. It was touching to see broken people come together to create something better. They became better then a family. It also proved that you can't judge a book by its cover. I line Winter and Logan is right she is the binding force and the strongest one of the bunch.
Will read the next one..even though I thought he was an a-hole in this book. ...more

Logan Furrow had a grizzly bear inside of him that was broken because of the choices the human side made. He was looking for someone to put him down when his previous Alpha couldn't go through with keeping his promise. Logan went to apply to be a part of the Blackwing Crew where he met the beautiful, curvy and sassy panther shifter, Winter.

I knew in the first few pages that this book was something special. A few pages in and I was in tears and the feels just kept coming. Winter's pain was something I felt right along with her because I've been that girl. Watching the person you love be happy with someone else is one of the most isolating things that can happen to a person. Seeing every plan, hope and dream basically shrivel up and die a horrible death is gut-wrenching and life-changing. This hit so close to home but was so wonderf

Finding out one's fated mate has cheated with your best friend might be a bit hard to deal with. Discovering he's gotten your best friend pregnant certainly complicates things more.
Winter Donovan makes the decision to leave her home to start a new life with a new crew. Encouraged by her existing alpha, Winter applies for a slot on the newly formed Blackwing crew headed by dragon shifter Kane Reeves.

This is the first book I have read by this author and I am impressed. Shifter romances are kind of a guilty pleasure of mine and I haven't truly enjoyed many of them. But this book felt so new and refreshing! It was different enough to stand out from the crowd.
The story begins with Winter's sad tale of betrayal and I was already sucked into this story. The minute she sees Logan you can feel the connection and it only gets better. The chemistry these two have just sizzles on the page. You could j ...more

True to the title.
You have to wait till the end, but they are defenders. In this book you meet Logan and Winter. You know their gonna be mates, but so much stands in the way. In this book you'll meet the future characters in this series. We have dragon shifters, panther shifters, grizzly shifters, Bengal tiger shifters, humans and werewolves. That's just in this book. I really like all the T.S. Joyce books I have read so far and that's almost all of them. I'm gonna read this series too and I exp ...more

Blackwing Crew
Logan and Winter, what a couple! So much heartache and sadness but Winter and Logan do fight and fight and fight back as hard as they can. A lot of the shifters are looking to join the Blackwing Crew but what a mixed match crew! So many stories but what a good plot and extremely well developed characters. Dark Kane and Rowan are the alphas looking for a crew and do they have their work cut out for them but with Logan and Winter they are off to a good start!

This story reminds me of the Gray Back interactions so much! The next book is centered around Dustin whom I like to think of as "Clinton/Bash Werewolf Jr." and I'm super stoked for that as well as Emma's and Beast's future books! This crew is gonna be interesting and T.S. Joyce thanks for writing more stories!

Excellent start to series
I thoroughly enjoyed this book, which is the first in this series. Went right out and bought the next book. First book was a stand alone, and the next is about another character that was in the first series. Strong and lovable characters that suck you in. Very good start to this series.

T.S. Joyce is devoted to bringing hot shifter romances to readers. Hungry alpha males are her calling card, and the wilder the men, the more she'll make them pour their hearts out. She werebear swears there'll be no swooning heroines in her books. It takes tough-as-nails women to handle the shifters of Bear Valley.
