Guardian's Mate (Shifter's Unbound Book 9) By: Jennifer Ashley

(N) Wolf Shifter Rae Lyall has been chosen by the Goddess to become the next Guardian of her Montana Shiftertown, a position Rae doesn't want to have and one no one else wants her to have for no woman has ever been selected for such a position before. Sill adjusting to her new position Rae's father and leader of the Montana Shiftertown sends Rae to train with Zander Moncrieff, a Shifter healer on her new role and responsibilities.
       Zander's a polar bear Shifter who doesn't wear a Collar and follows no one's rules but his own. Rea finds Zander arrogant and demanding yet at the same time finds him compelling and intriguing. Zander has no desire to mate but the new Guardian he's in charge of training is slowly drawing him out of his shell and stirring feelings inside that he has long since suppressed.
      And when faced with a new threat Zander and Rae are forced closer to danger and to each other.

       Guardian's Mate is the ninth book in the Shifter's Unbound series. As a fan of the Shifter's Unbound series I do have to say that while this was another book that I finished in no time at all it wasn't the best book that I've read in this series. While I did find myself at times not being able to put this book down overall it wasn't as good as I thought it would be. The problem is that this one didn't seem as though there was much going on in this book in terms of the overall story in the series so I think it's safe to say that you could skip in the series.
