4.5 out of 5. A complicated, engaging story that is a continuation of the Shadow Wranglers series. As I had not read the first two books in the series I was somewhat lost when encountering ideas and happenings and characters that were carry-overs. That being said, it was a delightful read for anyone who likes paranormal romance and who is a Sarah McCarty fan. It might be characterized as a love-lost-love-found kind of story, but there is far more to it than that. Embracing the tensions that have

Well, this one started out on a good foot - the H is at a raid, rescuing his mate, and the were with him is supposed to be around a cave miles away, assisting his brothers with one of them's mate. Ummm… did we forget who was with whom, where?
And then I read the book. I still don't know what it means to be a were. That's ok, because I don't think they do either.
Supposedly only mated pairs can reproduce but… a male won't accept another male's offspring with his mate (like if she gets kidnapped or ...more

Well, this one wasn't as good I as I was hoping it was going to be but was still good. Miri got on my nerves for a bit but she got better. She did go through a rough time of things. I'm actually quite surprised that the fact that she was raped again and again by different vampire's wasn't addressed more. I suppose we were supposed to understand that she was a strong woman. Anyway, I wanted more focus on that. Also, when they did finally find their daughter it was the very end and there just wasn

I'm afraid I'm going to piss some readers off with this review.
I did not like this book, the fact that Miri was rescued where she had been raped and tortured and gods only know what else left a sour taste in my mouth. Jace was the only saving grace for the book, he was a wonderful hero with so muc love in him it broke my heart. He gave up everything for Miri and in the end I just don't think she fully comprehended it, she was a distant and broken herione. ...more

Finally we get to see Jace's reunion with Miri. The author does a very good job of showing, rather than telling, the reaons for their behavior in the past and during this story. Loved to see the resolution but thought it a bit easy, after all the build-up. It was good to get glimpses of Caleb and Jared, too.
Love this series, the combination of cowboy and vampire does it for me! ...more

Method: paperback
Rating: 4/5 stars
H rating: 4.5/5 - Jace. His complete un-understanding of Miri and her culture really was the thing that hurt their relationship, but him and Penny and everything that happened after his rescue of her really was what won me over to him.
h rating: 5/5 - Miri...you sweet sweet women..
Drama: 5/5 - I LOVE this series and their drama...war and crazy ass vamps.
Thoughts: Cannot wait for Slade's book!

This book started right were book #2 ended with Jace and the Were's of the Dnally pack break into Sanctuary to rescue Jaces mate Werewolf Alpha female, Miri. She has been held prisoner for a year and has given birth to her and Jace's daughter. All the plans and they don't turn out the way they were meant to. This book was exciting and can't wait to read #4 Slade. If you like Vampire and Werewolf books you will love this one. They should read in order. They stand alone kinda. Enjoy!

I loved the entire series but the way this one ended made it seem like there was another book in the works. I haven't found anything stating that there is another book, so just be prepared that the series might end without it all being wrapped neatly in a bow.

This is a book about love and heartbreak, about losing oneself and finding oneself again because of the love of one’s mate. It is also an exciting story about what happens if an Alpha female werewolf mates with a vampire and they return to her pack, which has been almost destroyed by the greed of it’s leader who did not care for his pack properly. That leader is now dead so Jace is appointed Alpha of the pack, despite the fact he is a vampire, not a werewolf. There is controversy and tension abo

It has been a long time since I last read from this series. Thank goodness the story is written so well, it's as if I just finished the last one yesterday. All the characters are essentially reintroduced, but not in a redundant way...simply as part of the story. Jace and Miri are great. Jace the tough and stubborn vampire and Miri the were-vampire. After a long and horrific kidnapping by the Sanctuary, Jace was finally able to rescue Miri. While that was a great reunion there was another that ne

Clues are found, leads are empty and frustrations are running high to find Faith. But they do help a baby that is near death and Jace wants Miriam to help the baby survive, she was born de

Not sure why I'm continuing to read this series. I just looked back and I haven't rated any of them higher than a 3. The story lines are long and drawn out. The passion is luke warm. The plots seem to be repeats over and over. So basically what I think I'm saying is that this is a good series to read when you are caught up on all the really good ones and need something new. But I would never choose this over a Lora Leigh, Jaci Burton, Stephanie Laurens, or Larissa Ione. These books are just too

I started reading this book and it was like being dropped into the middle of a story already started. I realize this is a series but this is definitely not a stand-alone story. Jace rescues Miri from the Sanctuary after searching for her for a year and then they must find their daughter. There is so much small talk throughout the book that when they do find their daughter in about the last ten pages, it is almost an afterthought. I like werewolves and vamps but I am crossing this series of my li

The latest Shadow Wranglers Texas fantasy is an intriguing tale due to Miri's doubts and hesitations towards her soulmate who had treated her with love and respect before she was abused. That element brings a psychological reality to a complex story line containing several subplots and a seemingly horde of paranormal Texans. Series fans will enjoy the reunion of Jace and Mira; as the tough vampire must go slow and be tender and nurturing with his beloved emotionally fraught, fragile and forlorn

A continuation of the Shadow Wrangler books. The story of Jace and Miri. Jace is a vampire while Miri is a werewolf. They get together and Miri gets pregnant. Then Miri is captured by the Sanctuary that wants to do experiments and torture on her. Her baby is taken away and Miri remains in captivity for a year. Then Jace finds her but she is not the same. The rest of the story is the two of them trying to rebuild trust and finding their baby.

I actually enjoyed this one.
This is old school McCarty, heavy on the emotion and occasional smexy.
And the world is actually interesting and reasonably drawn out. (Which as much as I loved the old EC books, this is a new thing for SM)
Though it is definitely heavily borrowed from her Others series which was started in EC back in the day.
Tho it not a re-write, there is just recognisable elements and/or character traits.

“The Tragallion pack wasn't exactly welcoming them with open arms ... All in all they were an angry, weary-looking group. Jace tucked Miri a little closer in to his side. "Remind me to deck Ian next time I set eyes on him."
She glanced up. "If you hold him, I'll do it for you.”

She glanced up. "If you hold him, I'll do it for you.”
“Hey, sweet talk isn't supposed to make you cry."
"I think you're out of luck."
"Because that was too corny?"
"Because I blinked and you didn't go away. You're real."
He felt the same way. The joy that she was here, the lingering panic that it was just another dream he'd wake up from, her name an echo of desperate hope in his head.”
