The Shifters Unbound series has been on my radar for a while and I've finally gotten around to read/listen to it. I'm a sucker for shifter romance and this definitely brought something new to the table. It's not often that (in the reading world) shifters are expected to be tamed/held back/denied their natural inclinations. In Pride Mates we're introduced to shifters who have to wear a collar to identify and harness their strengths and natural abilities. These collars were created by the Fae and cause them pain if they try to remove them or act in a violent way.
So, to say I'm gobsmacked is an understatement. Why would I want the shifters that I love to see wild and uninhibited, be tamed? Well, luckily for me, we still get a bit of the wild. There's still the raunchiness, possessiveness and growliness I love, it's just a bit more controlled.
I enjoyed Pride Mates but admit that it's showing its age a wee bit. I can't pinpoint exactly why but it could be the language, or maybe even how the characters acted. The narrator does an OK job and I was able to follow the story easily.
I will definitely be back for more in the series as I enjoyed meeting this clan and hope to see a few more of the shifters find their HEA.
