Tigers on the loose!

I absolutely loved this little story! Tiger is one of my favorite characters and I’m so dang glad to get more of him and Carly.

This story brings a whole new light to Tiger’s world. A rescue mission sends them all into the belt of a beast, only to come out on the other side bewildered, elated and a little confused. It in the end, he happiness that drums brought all the bad is what matters!

I can always deal with more Tiger :-)

Tiger Striped is a novella set in the Shifters Unbound series. In this series, shifters are under strict regulation by the human government. They have to wear collars that will shock them if they “too” violent. They are also not allowed to have the most up-to-date technology, have certain jobs and are required to live in special communities called “shifter towns”.

This story follows Tiger. He is a shifter who was bred in a lab and was kept in a cage most of his life. That is until the Austin shifters came to his rescue and he got his HEA in Tiger Magic (book 5). He continues to be a integral character in the series. While he is a bit wild and only wears a fake collar to trick the humans to think he has one, he is also a protector. He has quite the way with children. He also has a knack for just “knowing” things.

So this book starts off with Tiger being woken up from a sleep being “called” from somewhere. He doesn’t know who needs his help or where exactly he needs to go to help them, but the call is more than he can handle, so he must go. His mate, Carly, refuses to let him go alone. The young Connor Morrissey stowed away to help too.

This is a short, but fun story as Tiger travels across state lines (another thing shifters aren’t supposed to do) to save someone who is calling out to him sublimity. It is great to see Tiger and Carly together and to spend some time with Connor, who has been a fairly minor character in the series (I hope he will get his story soon, but he is still considered a cub, even in though he is in his early twenties). The suspense and action was fun too (I can’t say more, because spoilers).

I think you could read this novella without having read the series. I think that the author does a good job of giving you what you have to know to understand the world (even if you don’t understand everything about this world, you get enough to understand this story). That being said, I think you will better understand the story if you read the whole series. There are also some minor spoilers for earlier books in the series if you read this one first.

Narration
I’m so glad that Jennifer Ashley was able to get Cris Dukehart to continue the series now that she’s self-publishing. Cris has done a great job with the narration of this series, which is long and has a large cast with many different accents and age groups (including small children, which she does really well).

Baby Tiger

how wonderful that Tiger is reunited with his baby girl. Spoiler alert, I think the next book or the one after that will involve said tiger girl and Conner

More Stripes! Love your work!

Thank you! Going to get the next book now! Keep writing your Shifters Unbound for us

Satisfying...

Tiger is a character that touches the heart. He is innately good and unrelenting in his efforts to do what's right. And yet there is a vulnerability about him that is endearing. More Tiger please!

Another thread wrapped up...

... another one revealed. After reading Tiger Magic, I always wondered about that lost cub. This wonderful story answers that while showcasing the bond between Tiger and Carly. Now I have to wait to see what happens to Connor!

Good

Good story but it would have been better had it been longer. It would have made a great full length story,

Worth the money

This is a short book and was cheap so I just bought it instead of using a credit. It was worth it, I was doubtful in the beginning but it turns out to be an important story for a new character as well as for Tiger and Carly!! If you are a shifters unbound fan I wouldn’t skip this one. And before this I’ve only listened to all the ones available on the Audible Escape package, so I’ve missed a few shorter books.

Tiger is the best

Loved the extension and continuation of Tiger's story. Always love hearing about future family developements

I am a book hog

1423 audiobooks n counting ......
omg this book way WAY WAY WAY TOO SHORT. Like every big series some books lag. Almost like the author is shy of writers block. Now that isn't an insult it just happens. I normally write a review when it's super good. It's hard to please everyone & it takes some thick skin to put yourself out there. Why Ms. Ashley thought this one should be a novella IDK
