Nature's Destiny #3

Guardians Dynasty

Rate this book
I was dying.

Every minute I wasted without a mate, my mind became more volatile. I was unbalanced, stronger than I was capable of handling alone.

Supposedly, I was destined for greatness, but apparently I had to overcome another task first.

A mating.

Riley was my one true love. I was sure. However, that didn't necessarily mean I was his. Complications, it seemed, were becoming my forte.

Despite my personal problems, the demons emerged, offering little hope and even less mercy. With my mind preoccupied, I wasn't ready for the attack heading our way.

The pack needed me now more than ever, but the demons were cunning, thwarting my plans and upping the stakes each time.

I was letting them down. We weren't ready. I wasn't ready.

Darkness descended on Nature's Destiny, and sadness was sure to come.

War had begun.

I’ve always lived a life based on my imagination, from hopeless dreams of romance to concocting alternate realities involving supernaturals. I’m completely fascinated with anything hero-related, and often speculate which superpower I’d possess. I haven’t settled on one yet.

I was born in England, and currently reside in Wales, UK. I love to write, and most days you’ll find me happily tapping away at the computer whilst in my pyjama-clad bubble. I also spend my time reading, and if that isn’t enough I’m often in the kitchen baking up a treat.

In Guardian’s Dynasty it’s another change for Luna as she and Riley must both decide if they are ready for the commitment of being true mates. A wolf mating is life long and irreversible but Luna is concerned the death sentence hanging over her will influence Riley’s decision. The only way to cancel out the threat is for Luna to mate with her one true love. It’s obvious to everyone else, though that Luna and Riley are meant for each other. To save Luna, she and Riley can’t afford to wait for the mating ritual ceremony to be organised so the second option has to be taken immediately.

Luna is now the female alpha and there must be a wedding party for the pack to acknowledge the mating. Which is when the trouble starts, beginning with the appearance of sink holes and the approaching Blood Moon, when the demons, according to legend, will take over the world.

As the wedding guests, including Luna’s parents and best friend, Sky are enjoying the celebrations Luna’s warning pains begin…and before anyone realises what is happening they are surrounded by incubi and Luna has gone…and things will never be the same for Sky.

Another full on instalment in the lives of Luna, Riley and the pack. There’s never a dull moment, lots of action, changes and romance. Luna is dealing with her newly acquired powers well and learning how to use them, finding out who she really is and her destiny. Justine Winter’s writing is very descriptive and imaginative and I love the cover art for the books, this one especially.

I was supplied with an ARC in return for my review.

Favorite Lines “She must mate with her one true love. . . She must mate with her one true love..”

“We were born ready.”

“You are the light guiding me to my future. I will always be home when I’m with you.”

“I have power they want. I have strength they’re afraid of. This family, this pack poses a threat to the demons. We can win the war they’re imposing on us.”
I looked at them all, belief resonating deeply in my bones.
“And we will.”

“He was my Alpha, my leader, my husband and mate. And the reason I’d happily surrender my life for his.
The protector deserved to be protected after all.”

“You can’t always save the ones you love.”


Wow!!!!! When I got to the last line of the book I was she'll shocked! Justine Winter is lucky I couldn't find her when I finished this book!! Need more NOW!!!
Luna and Riley are the most adorable couple! The love the share with each other is special, it's something everyone dreams of having!
So much happened and it was awesome!!!!
There was wedding, a vampire was made, we said goodbye to one of out favorite characters, and we got the OMG ending!

I'm not sure I know what to say right now! I am devastated, because SERIOUSLY YOU KILLED OFF TWO CHARACTERS!!!!! I mean, I knew it was coming, but NOT THEM!!!! LOL Ok, now that I've expressed my devastation, I need to say THIS IS THE BEST ONE YET! Seriously, the writing has been flawless from the start, but damn if the story line does not impress me more each time I read! This series has become a die hard must have for me. I to this day THANK HEATHER HILDENBRAND for emailing me one day and asking me if I'd help out a fellow author. That email gave me book one, and I can't say enough how much this series is full of AWESOME!! So with that, I will say this book deserves one word-- MAGNIFICENT!! Oh and a second word.... FREAKING DRAGONS!!! ok that was three LOL

I totally thought Luna was gunna die at the beginning of the book. This leads to happy moments, followed by weird explanations, then tears, then being pissed, then more tears, then the HOLY SHIT moment! Ok, so there I told you about the book HAHAHAHAHA You see, I already know not to touch these books unless I can read them through. I'm a fast reader, but I won't put them down. I definitely couldn't put this one down. Each character has grown so much in my book, and now, with Sky's little twist, Lara, Kate, and Queen vamper throwing down some heavy duty crazy, it's just getting to be amazing! There's never a moment when I think of anything else when I read this one. I was too immersed.

I can't talk about things right now, because I WILL NOT spoil things for you. I now understand why Ms Justine said she was anxious for me to read this one. I wanna say bad words and I need revenge. And then I need a tissue. Seriously, these characters will feel like your best friends. Luna is turning into a MAJOR BAD ASS, Riley is everything you could ever want and more, and the pack, I LOVE THEM! I need to spoil one thing. I am SO MAD that THAT dress got ruined, you hear me!! And the new additions, I will not talk about them just yet, but I LOVE them. They amaze me, and the descriptions and mannerisms were just so cool!

So with that, I say-- If you are a fan of good writing, a fantastic story line, wonderful werewolves, manipulative vampers, crazy demons, sexy dudes, and an all around wonderful PARANORMAL ROMANCE- just do yourself a favor and read this series! I mean, there's not enough words I can say about how much I love this series. And there's not enough PAWS to tell you how awesome this is. LIKE 10!! But I can only rate up to 5 PAWS, so fine, I will say 2 x 5 PAWS :) Yep, it's that good. I am still sitting with my jaw on the floor! GO NOW AND GET IT!!!

This was another good story in the series! Luna continues her journey in her life on Nature's Destiny and more villainous events start to happen. I learned much more background to the story about the history of the wolves which was nice and I am excited for the next installment in the series. The story ends with an even more serious cliff hanger as it always does. I've read this book twice now and my favorite aspect of this book is Luna. I enjoy that her actions and ways of thinkings are realistic. She doesn't make irrational decisions; she's smart, witty and takes a challenge head on. I also like Ms. Winter's straight to the point writing. She moves the story along well; there are lots of events that happen in book and it's not confusing or clustered. The only reason I didn't give it 5 stars is because there were some parts of the book that were predictable. I would recommend this series to any adult that wants to read a paranormal romance…although I would start this series from the beginning because Luna really develops throughout the previous books.

WTfudge!!
This book is amazing!
Ms. Justine is killing me with anticipation for the next book!!!
Anyway, the story continues on where the previous book left off.
With the wedding/mating coming, things with the demons and the war...things get more interesting..
With all of the chaos that will be coming, unexpected things will happen and many loved ones will face an unexpected turns that blew my mind (and made me emotional).
With the demons wanting to get their hands on Luna, Riley will do his best to protect her and their pack.
Ms. Justine freakin' nailed it!!!
The way the story ended was AMAZING!!!!!!
I want more!!!!!!!!!
Can't wait for the next one!!

So much happens in this book! Firstly I loved that Luna to get Skye and her parents to meet the pack although they do get a bit more involved than I think she was planning. We get to meet yet new charters and creature in this book and we are left with yet another cliff hanger and this time it is major!

I need the fourth book asap. this book has a bit of a cliff hanger , more shock than angst which is how I prefer a cliff hanger to be. I love Luna and Riley and watching them evolve. I loved the new characters that were introduced in this book and I can't wait to find out what happens next.
