Le Beau Brothers #4
Thomas
As the owner of The Backwater shifter bar, Julia Le Beau is happy with her place in the shifter community. The only thing missing in her life is a man. Until he arrives on his white horse, she has stacks of romance novels to fill her nights. Too bad, her crazy mother doesn’t see it that way.
Thomas James’ childhood has molded him into the man is today, extremely protective and relationship shy. As the chief of security for the royal family, he has his hands full. His grandparents, Isaac and Emma Le Beau’s lives are in his hands. Women don’t factor into that other than as an unwanted distraction.
Though they are destined to be mates, the obstacles between them and their happily-ever-after, seem insurmountable.
Will Julia and Thomas’s happiness be snuffed out before it has a chance to begin or will they forge through—obstacles be damned.
Welcome to New Orleans, Louisiana, where every myth and scary story you were ever told is real. A place where the things that go bump in the night, or daytime for that matter, are surprisingly friendly. For the most part.
Take a good look at your neighbor, the person sitting beside you at the bar or your coworker. Are you sure they’re human?

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***Received the ebook for an honest review
The cover is amazing, and I love everything about it :)
This is the fourth book in the Le Beau series. This is an adult series due to the steamy scenes in the book. Each book is standalone; however, I recommend reading them all and in order. The sum of all the parts together in order is just so much more awesome when read in order, and you get to know all the awesome characters. You would miss on the development of those characters by skipping books :)
I really enjoy this series :) Vickie’s creativity amazes me :) We meet some new friends in this book which was cool :) Some old friends return which is always awesome, and of course there were some bad guys that you never mind when they get their butts kicked. Plenty of action, drama, and romance to keep your attention, it makes for an enjoyable adventure :) If you haven’t guessed, I do not like to give a story away because it would ruin your adventure. I really love Julia because she is kick butt and has this strength in her…not to mention her caring and beautiful personality. Thomas has some baggage from growing up, and you learn quite a bit about that past. He is a protector through and through.
Vickie’s writing style is easy to read and picture jump from my mind as I read making my imagination come alive with her words. I love when this happens :)
I can’t wait to read more in this series….several possibilities for whose story is next, but I’m thinking it will be Lucas :) I can’t wait to see what happens next!!!
I recommend this series to wolf shifter lovers and of course if you love any of the other books in the series….don’t stop until you read them all :)

This is a really good series. It's set primarily in New Orleans, which is a great setting for a PNR series. This book is a great follow up of Anna's story as the main character is her oldest son. The relationships between the various family/friends is great. I would love to be part of this magical community.

Julia is tired of being paraded around by her mother who is hoping to find her a mate. Little does she know she is about to meet her mate and he is human. Thomas James knows a little about mates as his mother is mated to his stepfather. He certainly was not planning entering a relationship but when he meets Julia he begins to wonder if the time is right. Haunted by his fathers sins, Thomas wants to make sure he is the right type of man for Julia and when she is put in danger he will do everything in his powers to protect her.
Another fabulous book in the Le Beau series. This story has a few twists I was not expecting and I think it will delight readers. Eager to see who is next in the mating line.

A beautiful werewolf, a sexy hot man, oooh and fairies to boot!!!
I was gifted this book by the author for an honest review.
What's not to Love about the Le Beau brothers, sigh. When Thomas, Cade Le Beau' stepson, takes over as head of security for Isaac and Emma, the king and queen, he has no idea that his life is going to be turned upside down. The Goddess and Emma know who's his mate and have set plans in motion for them to meet at the gathering where Isaac will announce his return to the throne. Backwater Bar owner Julia is tired of her mother's constant parade of single wolf shifters for possible mates, it's getting out of hand. As she goes with her mother, Lucinda, to the gathering, little does she know her wolf is going to heard loud and clear in her mind on who really is her mate, and he's a human. Thomas's has honed his gift for sensing trouble, but guarding Isaac at the moment is proving difficult, he won't stay in one place. As his spider senses start tingling he locks eyes with Julia and is confused, he can't seem to take his eyes off of her, thus beginning a most amazing and interesting story about love, danger,and facing your past and opening up your heart. There is so much happening in this book you will be glued to the pages, just try to keep up. A must-read for mature audiences. Loved it.

This is the forth book in this series and they should be read in order. Thomas is the head of the royal shifters security. He isn’t looking for a girlfriend. He doesn’t date. After what his father did to his mother, brother, and him he doesn’t want to have anything to do with a relationship. Julia is the cousin of the Le Beau brothers. Her mother has been shopping around her and her sister to every available single male shifter for a long time. Julia and Thomas meet at the first annual shifter gathering. Thomas can’t help but to keep looking at Julia while he is supposed working and making sure no one is hurt at the gathering. Julia knows as soon as she sees Thomas that he is her mate. Her mother won’t be happy that he is a human but no one can control who their mate is. Thomas wants to fight the mate bond at first but he can’t. They are meant to be together. He agrees to date and get to know Julia and see where things go. They are going to have lots of obstacles to overcome. Julia’s mother forbids Julia to be with Thomas, Thomas’s father is going to try and take everyone away he loves away from him, and then there is whoever the royal shifter family. Will they be able to overcome all those things or will they be torn apart before they can even try? I really liked this book. Thomas is the human and Julia is the shifter. Even though he is human he can’t fight the pull. He is a born protector and he will do anything to protect Julia and his family. Julia will heal Thomas and show him not all relationships are the same. Congrats V. A. Dold. I can’t wait to read more books in this series.

Thomas is Anna’s oldest son and head of security for the royal family. As of now, he is still human and has no plans to have a relationship. His brother and him suffered at the hands of their father, Anna’s ex. Julia runs the shifter bar out in the swamp. She has a horrible mother who shoves her in front of male shifters constantly looking for a pureblood mate. Well, Thomas is her mate! He has to leave to Vegas to bring back Rose’s two foster brothers who are now vampires. They will be added to the security team for the royals. Julia is also friends with the faeries! Some others are not happy about her mating with a human and deliver the messages loud and clear. Not only that, Tim appears again in Vegas and out in the bayou to wreak havoc! These two will have a heck of a time against all the odds! But the family will come together along with some friends to take control of what is theirs and protect their mates! This is another exciting adventure in the LeBeau Brothers Series! I received this book as an ARC and am leaving a voluntary review.

Omg!! This was great addition to the series!
This book was great! I love these characters and how you can honestly see them develop through the series! My heart was breaking by what Julia's horrible mother kept putting through. You know she is responsible for the bombing but she gets off scot free. Thomas is a warrior and planner. I love his skill of feeling danger and pinpointing where it is coming from. His past comes to hurt them but they prevail! Omg the garden scene was absolutely beautiful and I could so picture it clearly in my mind. I am so eager to read more from this series and author.

Julia owns a bar for shifters in the bayou. Thomas is the daughter of Anna who is married to Cade. So I’m a round about sense he is considered royalty because Cade’s father is the King. Julia’s mother wants only a purebred shifter for her daughters to mate with. But the Goddess has other plans. I love how strong Julia is and Thomas is a good mate for her. I am really enjoying this series and look forwards to each new book.

Thomas James's mother Anna married the oldest son, Cade, of the Le Beau clan. He's treated like family and becomes chief of security for the family. He too busy for anything else. Julia Le Beau is owner of The Blackwater shifter bar. She's happy with her life but she would like to meet her mate. Her mother wants her to marry for power. Thomas and Julia meet and the sparks fly. Her mother does all she can to stop Julia and Thomas being together. I love this series and this book was great.

Good!
Another good part to this series! Thomas and Julia have a very sweet story. Their love is instant but they have a lot of things destined to tear them apart.
With their relationship and family at risk, they all pull together with the vampires and fairies help.
I look forward to reading Lucas' story. ☺

I have read all of the Le Beau Series so far and thoroughly enjoyed all the books. The only downside to this book was Thomas calling Julia babe practically all the time; but to be fair i believe that's my problem and not the authors.
This book is good if you are looking for some easy romantic reading, and the sexual content is not as explicit and some authors

The goddess converts John to a shifter but not Thomas, he will become a shifter via a mate. Julia’s mother hates humans and Julia’s mate is human, she forgets Thomas is now a prince in the shifter world because his mother is mated to the crown prince and Isaac has declared himself king again. This is a great story with lots of heart.

Yet another nice addition to the series. I felt bad for Julia throughout this book, not because Thomas was horrible, but because of what she willingly endured without letting Thomas know how truly affected she was. I was disgusted by Thomas' father and thought he should have gotten worse than he did. Loving the vampires too!

Another awesome instalment of the Le Beau family. Both Thomas and Julia have a dysfunctional parent and they can understand the other’s angst and determination to overcome their problems. The storyline includes action, betrayal, danger, anger, romance and love. This was hard to put down and I just kept turning the pages to see what would happen next. I am really loving this series.

Series just keeps getting better!
This is a great love story. Thomas leads the protection squad of the royal family but the Goddess has other plans for him. We get some resolution for past plot lines. Once again a good woman gets her man even if she's not a size 6.

A good read
Another excellent addition to the series. There are HOT shifters, vampires and faeries. It has some suspense, some aggravating scenes and a whole lot of romance. The Le Beau women are bad asses and full of love.

Enjoyed their story
I really enjoy Thomas and Julia story he didn't have any other choice but to love her. The rituals of their mating is basically the same for all. Their stories stand out individually because of how they meet and their pursuit keeps me coming back.

Thomas was okay but Cade and Simon's books were better.

I love seeing one of Anna's sons finding their mate and for it to be Julia even better.
Her mom is a total nut and with the swampers attacking her and the bar even worse.
