Mate Claimed

Shifters Unbound Series, Book 4

By: Jennifer Ashley

Narrated by: Cris Dukehart

Eric Warden knows that half-Shifter wildcat Iona is passing for human, living without a Collar in the human world. He also knows that if she does not acknowledge her Shifter nature and her mating hunger, it could kill her.

Iona finds the mysterious and dangerous Eric, a wildcat and leader of his Shiftertown, haunting her dreams, but she vows never to take the Collar, fearing backlash against her mother and sister for hiding the fact that she's Shifter. But Eric is a compelling Shifter male, and Iona's hunger calls to him.

Critic reviews

"[Ashley's] characters are intense and full of passion, and there's plenty of action in this fourth book in the Shifters Unbound series. This is one of those great series that you can follow from the beginning, or pick up anytime for a satisfying [listen]." ( Romantic Times)

This is what I am Talking ABOUT!!!!!

I love the MATE THING!!!! YESSSS!!! WOW WOW!!! Ok... I loved this book. Fave in series right after book 1...

I don't know if is b/c Eric and Liam are alphas but thier books are the best ones in the series!!!

Eric is the leader of his shifter town and he is the brother to Cassie... book 3... who meets Iona... a half-shifter living in the human world (not in a shifter town) without a collar. And guess what ... Iona is an Alpha too... Man! If this book wasn't sooo dang hot to trot! Iona is in a mating frenzy with Eric and poor girl don't even know what is going on, b/c she was raised human and not shifter. I just loved it. The plot and story of this book was great too.. Lots of action, drama, kidnapping and fighing... and smex and shifting.. I just loved it. Way to go Ashely. Good recovery from throwing me a loop from book 3, but it all came full circle... Plus Liam and Sean came back... YEAH!!!! Even KIM!!! Totally love it...

Narration was superb!

Where does Mate Claimed rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

I have 3 of her books! and I love them all! they are good, fast paced, and thankfully, NOT the same words over and over, with the same story line, just a change of the characters names and jobs I am really loving all her books so far, best out there. I can't wait to buy the next book!

What does Cris Dukehart bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you just read the book?

she is very good!! brought it all to life!!

Leopards and Panthers... oh my

4.5*s

Eric Warden + Iona Duncan = Happiness, though that wasn’t an apparent outcome in the beginning.

I knew when we met Iona things were going to get rowdy and that Eric, the stubborn, alpha male he was, was going to bite off more than he could chew at first. And.... That’s exactly what happened.

Everything these two have to go through bends them closer and closer together. With each passing day, each new adventure (of you will) send them on a colliding path. Eric has trouble in shifter town, then Iona starts to go into a frenzy.... it gets hairy. (No pun intended.)

Iona isn’t sure about the big leopard. He could mean her life is changing forever. It could lead to getting collared, her secret told to the world and her put entire family in trouble.

In the end, things work out as they should.

Good story

Found story line interesting; the narrator did a great job. Several books can spin off from this book. Hopefully there will be a book to follow up on the Siberian tiger, and Eric’s son. Now on to the next book!

The half shifter who was raised human & suppressed her shifter

I really hate that it’s true that humans act inhumane towards others and/or animals that they don’t understand. Unanesthesized procedures, unethical practices and so forth…just look what happens to beagles right now.
It’s a beautiful love story that starts Gram and Misty. Shows Reed and his Bear love moving slowly along. Pen and her only true love being reunited after approximately 30 years and their daughter being mated to the Las Vegas alpha, Eric.
I find it surprising that it was Gram who came up with the Alpha solution but I really liked it!

Okay Listen!

This was a little to long & boring at first. The waffling of Iona was tiresome. About half way through it got good. Eric & Iona made a good alpha couple.

great series

once I finished the first book, I just had to keep going with the series

Very good

The narrator is good with the different accents and both male and female voices. The story was good. It took us on different adventure with the human shifter counsel causing problems. Iona and Eric make a great couple
