Outlaw Shifters #4
For The Soul Of An Outlaw
**Don’t miss the thrilling final book of T. S. Joyce’s bestselling Outlaw Shifters series**
Genie isn’t what people expected. She isn’t just a squirrel, but a shifter in hiding named Tenlee. She’s dug herself into a deep hole, and now her past has come back to haunt her and hurt her friends in the Two Claws Clan. Not only that, but the man she loves had left the ranch, and left her in despair. The fury of the crows is growing by the day, and she could end this war by simply turning herself in. But when mountain lion shifter, Kurt, comes back, it’s not so simple to leave. Now she has someone to stay for..and also someone to fight for.
Kurt is a simple man. He wants his son to be safe, his friends to be happy, and he wishes he could live to see both. He’s done something that has poisoned him though, something that ended his old Clan, and now the consequences are steep. But when he finds a girl trespassing on Two Claws land, the course of his life is changed forever. He was wrong about Genie. And though her secrets run deep, and she feels dangerous, there is something about the wild beauty that has his heart racing. And now life isn’t so simple. He still wants his son to be safe, and his friends to be happy, but now he’s desperate to save himself and get to know the mysterious shifter who has completely stolen his heart.
Content Warning: Explicit love scenes, naughty language, and piles of sexy shifter secrets. Intended for mature audiences.

Genie and Kurt's story. Perfect!
March 17, 2018
You bet your ass I was on this book as soon as that baby hit publish.
Nothing could of prepared me for all that is Genie! You have no idea, NONE.
Obviously I went into this with a path I thought this story would go on but quite frankly I was way off the mark. I'm delighted by that fact though.
Genie aka Tenlee is just everything.
I don't want to give anything away because it will ruin it. It needs to be read as it's wrote on a fresh head. Because the shit that happens will blow your freaking mind.
Ten and Colt surpassed any expectations I had. They just fit like two half to one whole. He let her just be and she saved him. Honestly it's pretty fucking poetic. As per this author takes us on a rollercoaster through this story. The plot is just so seemlessly written and woven to perfection hitting the nail right on the head emotionally. The characters are fucking nuts in all the best ways getting up to all kinds of hilariously dysfunctional shenanigans causing mayhem everywhere. I want friends like them.
I loved that ending!!!!! Seriously it was a pleasant surprise. Im delighted that this isn't quite the end for these broken souls and I cannot wait for Ramsey's story! I have a feeling that not all is what it seems with him.
The possibilities for future stories have me all kinds of twisted in excitement.
This definitely my favourite book of the series yet!.

I do not have words for my experience with For The Soul Of An Outlaw other than to say if I could give it a 1010 star rating I would. Kurt and Tenlee’s story broke my heart and put it right back together again. Actually, everyone (except the jerk bad guys) gave me tears to cry, and laughter to bubble up and escape.
I’m not going to take any chances with spoilers getting loose so this review is going to be very simple.
If you have followed the Outlaw Shifters series then you already know how unique and special they all are. This story will capture your imagination, it will not let go of you until you finish it in one setting and you will remember these characters long after the final page has been turned.
I loved Ten, she is the most honest speaking character ever for she has no filters, at all. If she thinks it she speaks it. Her love for Kurt, Gunner and everyone else shines through her actions so clearly.
This, for stories like For The Soul Of An Outlaw, this is why I read T.S. Joyce – and why you should, too. Block out some alone time, grab a box of tissues and sit down and enjoy every minute of Ten and Kurt’s story. You will be captivated. I would highly recommend this story to any Paranormal Romance or Shifter Romance reader.

Colt's pet squirrel isn't just any common squirrel, no she's way more than that, but nobody knows until she decides to stay in her human body a bit longer.... You see she's quite attached to Kurt and his 6-year-old Gunner, so when they come back, she can't help herself..
She doesn't like being in her human body. I LOVE how she talks and expresses herself without apology. Genie AKA Tenlee is the sweetest ever. She's got a unique story and its heartbreaking and sad. I love how she claimed Kurt and Gunner the moment she pretty much saw them. Imagine to Kurt's surprise that Genie isn't just a squirrel!
She's what the crows are coming for because she is more than just a squirrel and the alpha of the crows knows what, but Kurt will stop at nothing to protect Tenlee even if he won't be around for long. He has to make sure she's ok and Gunner is ok. Had some giggle moments of course. Trashcan punch that's got to be a first lol! I so enjoyed this story and what a surprise at the end!
Can't wait to read on about the crows, I am very curious about them.

Mountain lions, Bears, Crows and a demon squirrel oh my!!!
I absolutely loved this series. This is Tens and Kurt's story and oh my gosh what a tale these two have to tell. Tenlee (AKA) Genie is a shifter living as a pet squirrel. Well she's so much more that that but I don't want to give away any spoilers lol. Kurt is an Alpha without a clan and it's costing him his life. Can this little squirrel save this broken alpha? Can the outlaws keep Tenlee out of the hands of the crow who thinks she is his? Or will there be another blood bath on the ranch? Kurt will do anything to keep Tenlee even if that means killing ever crow in town. Tenlee will do everything to keep her friends safe even if it means living in a cage with the crows. I absolutely love this book. This hands down has been one of my most favorites. I love these characters. I love the strength and loyalty they have for one another.

Gawd this series will blow you away. This is the fifth and final book in the Outlaw Shifter series.
Kurt is a broken alpha mountain lion, and Tenlee is what everyone thought was Genie. But really she is a squirrel/women. She is an Origin, born from two squirrel parents.
And because she is an Origin that is why the crows want her.
I’m not gonna give you the whole story, you will have read it to find out who this amazing series ends.
But I will say is this final book was AMAZING. It will take you on a rollercoaster of ups and downs, twists and turns, and loop to loops. I found myself tearing up multiple times. Tenlee and Kurt story isn’t easy. It’s complicated, messy and down right painful.
So when you finally get to their HEA, it’s so incredible you just want to cry. Full on ugly crying it’s that amazing.
Can’t wait to read about the Crows!

WOW!!! I blazed through this because I could not put it down!!!! T.S. Joyce's writing is incredible from the plot to the character development! She really brought it on with Genie.

A Ten for Ten(lee)
Words cannot express just how amazing this story was!!! Our crazy little squirrel Genie from the former Outlaw books is actually a shifter but not just any shifter! This book is her journey in not only finding love but in finding self which is so much harder. It brought this reader to tears more than once. TS Joyce has a gift in making characters a reader bonds with and Tenlee is someone we have all been.....that lost soul trying to find our path. I cannot love her books anymore than I do already but this one definitely grabbed a piece of me for keeps

Really nice
4 origin amazing stars, just because Genie/Tenlee is such an amazing character.
This is the story about Kurt and Tenlee, how they recognized themselfs as mates and how their true love become the most important thing.
With some emotional scenes, this is the kind of story that puts a big smile on your face and at the same time a tear in your eyes.
A must read if you love the previous stories.

Genie and Kurt
I knew there was something special about Genie when I first read about her in previous book. I was sad when Kurt and son left the clan. Had no idea they were destined mates. This book made me cry and made me laugh. The relationships between the characters have deepened and grown. They are family. Family fights for family. Wonderful book!!! Maybe my favorite of the series.....so far.

Wish granted!
The wishing squirrel is awesome! This story is about someone who never feels like they fit in, then they find their place in the world. Ten finds her inner badass. This is the perfectly epic ending/beginning to the outlaws. It takes a strong willed mountain lion to help a shy scared squirrel find her inner badass. When she finds herself she still grants wishes. This is a loud out loud crying joy fest. Enjoy and be prepared for funny looks and Kleenex.

Wonderful outlaws
What a wonderful book. I am constantly amazed at the depth and creativity of characters in each of Joyce's books. This one is no exception.
This love story will warm your heart. I recommend reading all 5 in the series. That will turn your heart to mush, unless you aren't into mushy love stories with blood and mayhem thrown in, then why are you reading this review?
Anyway, this is a series I will want to re-read. Great job TS Joyce.

Amazing... wish granted!!!
Genie is a crazy little badass. I L-O-V-E this story. The littlest outlaw and her giant heart of gold made me laugh, cry and all around snicker.
T always writes amazing stories. Like every other one of her books. I have grown invested in these characters. She builds them up and gives them a dimension that brings them to life.

I've loved Genie since she was first introduced, you could tell there was so!etching more to her than just a squirrel and my god I know squirrels can be utter dicks in rel life.
Her story is as good as Lynn's and I'm so glad that the crows will have their own story too.
Beautifully written by T, another book I couldn't put down until the end.

Okay so right away I was cracking up. This line was everything, “Kurt was yelling obscenities behind her, but she liked to pretend that when people yelled the F-word at her, they really meant the L-word.” Laughed, cried, gasped! Loved this book as much as I love all her books!

No matter the location, no matter story, you can be sure it is going to be hot, sexy and funny. If you aren't already hooked, you will be soon. Follow the lives, loves, and laughter of some of the sexiest shifters around. If you enjoy shifters, paranormal, or just sexy Alpha Males and the women who love them, TS Joyce is a must read!

Always Fantastic!!!
I always wondered about Genie, or Ten as she became known. I always had this really soft spot for her and am very happy she got her own story. She and Kurt make a great pair and the length she goes to in order to make him and his son happy is amazing. Wonderful, fantastic story!

You made me cry ugly tears and get snotty nose syndrome with this one. *insert squirrel cuss words here* Each book you’ve written has been special, I’ve laughed, giggled, possibly snorted, shed a FEW tears but this is the first one I’ve cried ugly tears. I knew Geenie was special but just how special that I didn’t know. Awesome job!!!

Genie Rocks!
Wow! Genie-Ten-is quite the surprise! She is uncomfortable in her own skin, a miracle of evolution who wins her man, her clan and her freedom. I loved her story and so happy for the New Darby Clan.
