Team Paladin #5
Cajun Thunder
Becker Baptiste is on the run and was sent to Paladin to ask for their help. Exhausted and battered, he is trying to keep his infant niece, Sabine, from being murdered. When he meets a naked man on the road into town, he worries that maybe this isn’t the place they should be hiding from Sabine’s mother.
Roane Jackson had given up on finding his mate, but when Becker arrives with a baby strapped to his chest, Roane realizes his life is about to change in more ways than he can count.
Will Becker accept that the naked man’s claims that they are mates? Will he be able to keep Sabine safe from her mother? Will Roane ever put on clothes?

It has been quite a while since the last installment in the ‘Team Paladin’ series and I was very interested to see how Shane, his Marine buddies, and their respective mates (so far, at least), have been doing. The last I saw, Roane is out enjoying the woods during springtime, in his shifter form naturally, when his mountain lion smells ‘mate’. The man he smelled is stumbling down the side of the road toward Paladin with a backpack, dragging a suitcase, and a baby strapped to his chest, all the while mumbling to the little girl about grandma telling them to come here for help. Needless to say, I was more than intrigued, and waiting for Roane’s story.
“Mate. Cub. Mine. Not wanting to scare his mate to death, Roane shifted from cougar to human and stepped out of the woods. “Looks like you need some help.”
The traveler jumped and turned, dropping the handle of the suitcase he had been dragging. His eyes widened as he looked Roane up and down. “Holy shit, you’re naked.”
Becker is running, with his niece Sabine, from his ex-sister-in-law, Danielle, who joined a cult and decided that sacrificing her baby would give them all kinds of voodoo powers. (There’s all kinds, huh?) Becker’s brother tried to stop Danielle and ended up dead, so Becker stole Sabine out of her crib and took off, trying to stay ahead of the psycho woman. Becker’s grandmother gave him Dallas’s card and said the bear shifter could keep them safe. Becker is fully aware of the paranormal who live amongst humans, as he is a healer and a white witch, so he’s fairly certain that the naked man is a shifter.
Becker is stunned when all of the men of Paladin, and their mates, immediately accept him and Sabine as family, and vow to protect them both. He is equally shocked to discover he is Roane’s mate and the man will love and care for him forever. The best was watching these hardened warriors turn into giant saps over this tiny baby girl. Now, if they can make it through Danielle’s inevitable appearance, everyone should get a nice happy ever after. (Which, by the way, that showdown had some major inconsistencies, although I’m willing to overlook them in favor of the storyline.)
Another wonderful addition to the series and, I do believe, the finale. Although I never know with authors… they can be sneaky *grins*. Regardless, the entire series has been enjoyable, quick, and easy reads, with entertaining storylines, hot sex, and hotter men. I can’t ask for more than that.

Wow! What a very cool and awesome story! There is just nothing like a Keely Jakes story and you definitely do not want to miss this one! Love, shifters, great world building, smokin’ sex and hot military men, what more can a girl, or guy for that matter, ask for? I cannot wait for the next installment of Team Paladin, while you are at it, make sure you read the other stories in the series, they totally rock!

Too easy. Becker meets Roane when he walks out of the wood naked. Roane tells him their soul mates and he'll love him forever and Becker believes all and they live HEA.

Sweet and sexy, but.. there were a few plot holes and all got along veeeery fast. Could have been made a bit more of by the author.

Hier nun der fünfte Teil von Team Paladin, und leider auch der schwächste. Die Grundidee war sehr vielversprechend. Doch leider ha tes an der Umsetzung etwas gehapert.

Not quite as good
Felt like a bit of a backtrack in the quality of these stories. While all have been about finding mates fast, as they continued on there would also be a big focus on the unique problem in each case. This time the problem was ignored except for the placement of salt and a very quickly over showdown. In addition, the witch aspect wasn't really explored, which was a bit of a letdown.

Sorry man but Becker does not deserve the punishment that
Roane gives him at end. Takes away from an otherwise.5 star book.

Hmm
Not quite sure what to say here. I enjoyed the characters and the story a lot but was frustrated with all the typos and wrong names being used
