Protected by the Fox Shifter
Riker
I’m younger than my brothers, wilder, and I relish the hunt of a kill in my fox and human forms more than either of them. But I’m also the cutest shifter there is. Everyone loves me, so obviously my fated mate will have no choice but to fall for me.
Even if I have to make him.
Corbin
I’m still trying to work out why I felt compelled to rescue the guy—who I can’t seem to take my eyes off—from that damn beast that looked set on killing him. What I don’t expect is to hear the energizer bunny incarnate telling me he’s mine forever.
I can see he walks to his own beat, but I kinda like the idea of keeping him.
Making him mine.
Hell, I’m already looking forward to seeing what my MC brothers will think of the murderous twink when I bring him into the clubhouse.

“Run, little fox, because when I get you, I’ll have you and I won’t be gentle.”
Awwww this was my favorite one! I loved their daddy/boy relationship.
Corbin was perfect for his lil fox.
Their tattoos 🥹
I'm so sad this series is over.
Where is Spade and Sorens' book?!
"I couldn’t wait to tell my brothers what a badass my mate was. Not that their mates weren’t great. They were. Mine was just better."

Shut your brain off and enjoy the ride ~
Did I read all 3 books in the series one right after the other ? Yes, I did. This one has got to be my favorite even if I cringed every time Riker called Corbin ‘Daddy Sir’
Sunshine is a precious murder fox and Corbin was perfect for him. I loved that it didn’t take him long at all to decide he was all in with Riker.
Bonus points for them being equally possessive and obsessed with each other. AND even though Corbin is the human, he still wanted to mark Riker as his in all ways, with his cum, scent, marks, his name tattoo’d on him ( he got tattoo’s or Riker too) *dreamy sigh* This scratched my ever existing itch of possessiveness / mates so well 🥺
Sure I would’ve wanted some more depth to the characters where their sad background was brought in organically rather than just spilled out matter of factly, sure I would’ve liked a build up with lots of tension until they exploded into a mess with their undying love for each other and made a bigger deal of the mating/mark/bond cementing. Buuuut I still enjoyed this OTT shifter crack I got. 🫠
I’m just sad that it looks like the author doesn’t plan to continue the series until next year 😢

Amazing! Another Greatt book by Lila Rose!
This book is the third in a series. It is best enjoyed if read in order. Ryker is a fox shifter. Corbin/Razor is a bada$$ biker. Fated mates make for some interesting bed-fellows. If you read the first 2 books in the series, you know that Ryker is on the hyper side of life. He is sweet, possessive, and a hunter.
I devoured this story in 3 hours. so good, I hated to put it down for a lunch meal. Enjoy. Thanks, Lila. Looking forward to more in this world.

I do hope Lila Rose writes books about Soren and not only him but Spades as well because I want to know what happened between those two when he went to Soren club and will he Spades mate.. not only that oooh I cannot wait for Torch book. That one going to be interesting I know it!!
But anyways.. love, love, love Riker and Corbin story. They were so cute together. They were made for one another. I kept thinking something was going to go down worse at the club where Riker had to kill someone lol!! But it never happened. I love that all the club members excepted Corbin relationship with Riker. Besides the two cunts Marker and Bubbs or whatever that hater name was…
But overall everything turn out good for them…

📖 BOOK REVIEW 📖
𝓟𝓻𝓸𝓽𝓮𝓬𝓽𝓮𝓭 𝓫𝔂 𝓽𝓱𝓮 𝓕𝓸𝔁 𝓢𝓱𝓲𝓯𝓽𝓮𝓻 𝓫𝔂 𝓛 𝓡𝓸𝓼𝓮
𝐑𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠: ⭐️⭐️ - I liked the story but the words used bothered me a lot
𝐒𝐩𝐢𝐜𝐞: 🌶 - the language pulled me out of the scenes multiple times
𝐆𝐨𝐚𝐥: 81/12
This one was a little different as I read all three books in this series at the same time. This review will be the same for all three books, with a mini-review for each book at the bottom. They all had the same rating and spice level.
You may be asking me why I read all three at once or why I continued to read them if it was a two-star read. Well, I dont do star ratings unless I actually finish a book, so I did want to actually rate it. I dont think I would have finished them if I read each book by itself due to the fact that I got annoyed. I am glad that I finished it because while it wasn’t my favorite, I still enjoyed the underlying story. I just got bored with one book and/or wanted to read more about the other sibling more so I jumped to their book, and then I would lose interest or want to know about the other sibling, and jump to that one, and the cycle continued until I finished all three books.
I liked the premise of these books because the brothers had a bad upbringing so they were killers, but they channeled their killing need into taking down bad men/organizations. So I loved that, but I lost interest in the plot and needed to get a different POV.
I loved how each couple was vastly different in the main premise of personality:
𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐎𝐧𝐞: (Not) Mafia and (Not) mafia son. I say not because the shifter wasn’t mafia, but he gave e major mafia vibes in personality and with the fact they have so many companies. I say not for the mafia son bc he was a part of it, but he didn’t want to be (no killing type of thing)
𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐓𝐰𝐨: stalker dude to clumsy professor. I thought this couple was super cute and enjoyed them the most out of all three brothers.
𝐁𝐨𝐨𝐤 𝐓𝐡𝐫𝐞𝐞: Biker President and tiny psycho shifter. I loved this premise, but since one was a biker dude, the language was not one of my favorites, but I loved the tinny shifter dude because he was the most unhinged.
This book has:
🌑 MM
🌑 Insta-love/lust
🌑 Soul mate
🌑 shifter

I was looking forward to Riker’s story! The first chapter of this book is literally the last chapter of the previous book. Riker’s mate kidnaps him to ‘save’ him from his brothers, takes him home and just goes with it, basically. He doesn’t freak out about him being a shifter or is manic energy. He also is straight but gets feelings for a guy and he doesn’t let that faze him, he rolls with it. There is no real drama in this book, Razor is the prez of an MC and there is a bit of angst there and the brothers go on a job together but nothing else really happens. You learn more about shifters and what it means to be a mate.

it’s been a while since I’ve read a book so fast!
Absolutely love this. This series as a whole was a fun, sweet, and sexy. I normally am not a fan of instant love but this was exactly what I needed. And Riker was my favorite of the brothers from the first book. It was so fun to watch him find someone who loved him for all his craziness. Not to mention MC novels and paranormal romances are two of my fav genres and this was the best blending of both of those. As always Lila knocked it out of the park. If I could give it more than 5 stars I would. Highly recommend.

The best in the series
If you have read the series, like I have you have been chomping at the bit for Riker's story. Let me tell you there was no disappointment. Riker has gotten under my skin with his jumping bean personality, I just couldn't wait for him to find his fated mate. Corbin is absolutely perfect and loves him the way Riker deserves to be loved. I'm sad to see the series end and I look forward to more books to come.

I was so looking forward to this book and it did not disappoint. I couldn't help smiling nearly the entire time I was reading this. Riker is so darn cute. He makes me laugh. Tiny sunshiny ball of viciousness. 😆❤️
I love him and Corbin together. They're so perfect. And they're so hot together. 🥵 I love how Corbin accepts him and helps to make him better.
I'm so excited that there might be more in this series! I already love Soren and Dash.

Taming the Fox
Riker is willingly kidnapped by his mate from a bar just before his brothers can tear into.him and he could not be happier. Corbin can't believe his action or is attraction a to a man but he just goes with it, after all, he saw a man turn into a grizzly. It turns out that Corbin is just what Riker needs to help control his crazy and Ruler makes Cronin the happiest he's been in this sweet read.

Okay.
Not my favorite of the series. I just didn't connect to Riker or Corbin too well. I did like getting to see more of the action in this book though.
There are more errors is this book than I remember being in the others. For a fated-mates novella, I thought the pacing was good. I'd still recommend this book (and series) as a good pallet cleanser, and I'd read more if the series continues.

This was a cute one..
I was wondering what type of mate Riker would get and Corbin definitely fits the bill. He’s the President of a biker club and will defend and love Riker to the death even against his own brothers if necessary. Riker fell for Corbin from the beginning..sure the mating urge was a benefit, but the way Corbin defends and protects Riker, that is what he needed in a mate and he got it.
Loved the story and end of the series.

I really thought I’d be into this one—shifters? Check. Protective instincts? Check. But whew… this book dove headfirst into blood, violence, and darker elements way more than I expected. The romance got a bit lost in the gore for me, and I found myself skimming instead of swooning. If you’re into gritty paranormal drama with sharp teeth (literally), you might love it. But for me, it was more meh than magical.

PERFECTION!!!
I have NEVER wanted to read a shifter book more than this. Riker grabbed my heart in Deacon's book then again in Nox's book and it was all I wanted and more!!!
It's Daddy Dom, Alpha/Possessive, Don't Touch, Needy, MC, Steamy with LOL moments and Pure Deliciousness if you ask me. L.Rose came through once again with ABSOLUTE PERFECTION.

My favorite of the series!
I love this entire series but I have to say Corbin and Riker were my absolute favorite! Maybe it’s the way I can see myself in Riker (minus the violent tendencies of course) but I really loved how he felt so accepted by Corbin for exactly who he is. And of course fun sexy times!

I adore Riker! I am so happy he got his book and that Corbin is sooo protective of him and calms him but lets him still be himself at the same time! I freaking loved this one I wish it was longer though!! I need more of them!!
Also the set up for Spade and Soren!!!! oh please let that book happen soon!

Five stars for another awesome book in this series. Absolutely fell in love with Riker, who proves to be devoted to his mate in every way. The start to finish begin with a bang. I recommend this book and others authored by Lila Rose.

Amazing
That was a wonderfully adorable continuation to the story. I love their relationship. 10 out of 10 would recommend. My favorite part is really the possessiveness of both the characters. It really ticks all the boxes.

I knew from book one that Riker was my favorite character, but now his book is my favorite in the series! This series was a fun read with a little of everything, and I truly hope we’re given more in the future.

Another Good Addition to Series
I liked getting to see Riker's personality shine through. I liked the story and wish it was a bit longer to get more depth in the characters and storyline. Plus, I wanted to see more of Riker's shenanigans with his family.

What a bummer! This did not work for me at all.
2★'s = it was ok.
I'm not a fan of BDSM and add in the MC and it was just not at all what I hoped for Riker.
Oh well, Riker seemed over the moon so who am I to judge?
I need a seriously good shifter series.

Short but tasty!
I am impressed at how much Riker’s personality bled through the page. He truly was just the same as when we’d seen him in the other books. And finding himself a hot, older Biker!?! Yum!
I have really enjoyed this series and am looking forward to any additions.

The crazy guy of the shifter brotherhood finally finds love! Riker's wild and mischevious nature is one to make him the funniest of the group but still a big A-Hole. When Corbin comes into his fated path, this little fox is about to get roughed up by the big biker man the way he's always wanted.

Short and sweet
Short, sweet and a wee bit murdery. Just what I love. Riker was fabulous with his hyper way of going through life.
