I thought the overall plotting of the book was pretty good and I enjoyed seeing more of the world than just the training center from the last two books. There was a lot going on with trying to reunite and figure out the future. And then things got crazy. Unfortunately, there were so many external issues I found the internal ones to be a bit too much. There were enough other things going on that I could have done with a bit less.
Actually, I found the relationship discussions beyond exhausting. It was the same talk over and over and over. And it started two books ago. I felt like half the dialog could just be copy and pasted for 45% of the book.
Alyssa felt like such a brat with her "I want it my way." I get she wanted a relationship and wanted equanimity. But she will literally only have conversations directly related to her and what she wants. I really wanted her to take three pages and say, "please explain your world to me, fully," and then have her actually listen and only ask questions and take time to absorb. They kept trying to explain where they were coming from and she would always cut them off and complain that that's not what she wanted. Constantly telling multiple someones that you supposedly love that how they feel, were raised, live was wrong and they needed to change everything doesn't make a great relationship. And her constant complaints about them not believing her felt a bit ironic when she couldn't care less about how they felt or what they wanted.
I guess that's where the book fell a bit short for me.
So overall, it was good in the actual action and world or setting. Even the pace was good. But most of the book was fighting or the other f*ing. And it felt like if she actually let them speak and understood where they were coming from they could have found better ways to meet in the middle and reduce some of their internal issues. It is usually easier to change a system that you understand than to start pulling at random strings and crossing your fingers. And then we could have focused on all the other good aspects of the story.

Tiernan is still desperate for there to be more signs of his bond with Alyssa and yet he feels that it is better for her if it stays as silent as it is now. He still feels as though he has nothing to offer her and yet she is everything to him. Maddox is still missing although they are getting scraps of information about him. From the sounds of it there should be nothing to prevent him from seaking them all out that is unless he truly doesn't care as deeply for Alyssa, which he has said before. As for Rafe, struggling with being an Alpha but not, trying to look after his own trinity pack but not. While there are changes to come, Rafe still needs to understand that the shifter way is not what Alyssa has lived with and just as she will adjust her view for her males, they too will need to adjust their views based on hher understanding. There is a huge chasm to cross before any of that can happen though not least of which is the question of home territory and all the dangers that accompany outsider shifters, let alone humans...
A fantasic gripping read that keeps you totally hooked until the end.

Brilliant ending to this series. This is the final book in the series and it certainly doesn’t disappoint, it’s brilliant! It has more than a few twists and one of them I had no idea was coming! It’s a biggie! We all know Alyssa’s father is a nasty piece of work but blimey the poor girl has shitty luck. The four of them are tested more than ever in this book and the ending is definitely a relief because you don’t know what’s going to happen to them right up to the last few pages. If you’re expecting an easy ride with this book forget it. You the reader are put through the wringer as much as Alyssa and her mates but though the ride is emotional it’s brilliant.
Absolutely loved it, sad to see it come to an end but excited to see what book comes next.

This is the third book in this series, it's not in my opinion possible to read this series out order so make sure you've read the earlier books. The story continues with Maddox missing and the guys, Rafe and Tiernan, trying to find somewhere safe for Alyssa to rest.
The packs don't want them on their land and the DSA is determined to hunt them down. With no other option, they return to Rafe’s pack, hoping his father will allow them to stay but....
They discover that Maddox is being held hostage by his pack after being captured by the DSA. Then Alyssa is kidnapped by her father and held prisoner! Will her guys be able to save her?

The story heats up now that Alyssa gets her wolf and her mates enforce the mate blood bond with her. But that's not all; too many people still want to use Alyssa for their own means; the DSA is still corrupt and managing to endanger her life as well, and her mates are doing all they can to protect her. The action and suspense continues to build to a surprising conclusion for all of the main actors in the story and possibly a few plugs for a new story in this series??? This was an enjoyable series to read, I think you'll enjoy it too.

As the third installment in the series, I expected that I would kind of know the direction that the story would take and I was good with that, because I liked the storyline and the characters. However, I wasn't expecting some of the curveballs that were thrown in along the way, that added to the overall depth of the story. Suspenseful and exciting, dangerous and unpredictable, but also full of the hot and steamy erotic romance that makes this such an awesome read. Loved it!.

Although you can read and enjoy this book on its own in order to get the best from it you do need to have read the earlier books ( you wont regret it ) Fast paced, emotional,hot ,brilliantly writen with twists and suprises enoughto keepyou on the edge ofyour chair. Not a book you can pick up and put down you will want to keep reading till you have reached the end . Although this part ofthe story feels" complete " there is more to come in the series and Icant wait.

Alyssa is caught between two worlds as her father works for the anti-shifter group and she feels she is part shifter, even though she has never transformed. Her guys have so many side plots going and situations to get through. Loved the characters as their relationship grows and gets stronger. The storyline grabs you from the start and holds tight. Plenty of drama, danger, secrets, big decisions, surprises, steam, trust, and much more. Great ending.

WHY!!!!!!
I did not want this book to end. Hell I didn’t want the series to end. It is absolutely what I needed to pull me back into reading. I had fallen into a slump but Alyssa, Rafe, Tiernan, and Maddox build the perfect story. They become a family even though they all go through hell for each other. Being pulled away but pulled together all over again. Ours to Protect. Ours to Love is a perfect saying for this book. 10/10 recommend for all the paranormal multiple love interest and all the drama one can need.

Guardian Wolves 3
This is the third book in the trilogy. Artemis sure does go through it! Don’t want to give out spoilers, but I am going to say this, to me personally this part of the story is not resolved . Thus my 4 stars. I loved the growth of each character. Maddox finally found his true alpha self. Kieran became more confident. And our white wolf? He gave unwavering trust.

Everything comes to a head in this finale. Alyssa finds herself in a world she doesn't understand. The Shifter ways are not inclusive of her especially with her family background. One that seem hell bent on causing as much trouble as they can. The dynamic changes for Alyssa and the guys - Rafe, Tiernan and Maddox in this book. I liked that it did. A cracking conclusion but im wondering if there might be more books from this world in the future? I hope so

This story is a continuation of the previous books. I really enjoy this story. Lots of twists, action and suspense. I love the chemistry between the 4. Definitely would recommend it. But you should start with the first book.

So so so good, I never wanted it to end. The book was incredibly well written, there were so many twists that I did not see coming and I love when a book can do that to me. Each character is unique and I loved the way they were all so different but they meshed well together
