I’m lying to everyone around me to protect the only woman who … who can bring me to my knees.

This is a great book! Teale is such a fun character. I love her online shopping finds and non stop talking and the way she handles Kane aka Mr Grumpy Pants. Kane is the exact opposite of Teale but they’re a perfect match. This is my first book in the series and now I’ve got to go and read the others.
Here we are again, Kristin Mayer making me speechless all over again. The Fosters are my favorite family ever, and it hurts to say goodbye to them. And I’m so sad I have to leave Skagway. I will be missing this sweet small-town!
Okay, back to Changed by You. Kristin Mayer is gifted with a unique voice. Her stories suck you in the minute you start reading them, her characters become your best friends in no time. A connection, a true bond is made and you are immediately glued to the pages. And this story is the perfect example why I love her books so much.
The writing is flawless. The story is fascinating and seductive. Something you don’t want to miss.
Kane has been my favorite Foster since the beginning. I knew under the tough demeanor lays a heart of gold. He just needed the right woman to let himself go. And Teale is the woman to the work! She’s not afraid to crack his shell. And they make the perfect harmony together.
I laughed, I cried, I swooned. Changed by You is THE PERFECT read!
FLOVED this book sooooooooo hard!!!! 5 stars is not enough. It kept me interested the whole way through. You’re gonna laugh, cry, swoon, and get warm fuzzies!!
But seriously this book has everything. Humor, mystery, angst, sadness, happiness.
Teale is hands down one of my favorite heroines. She’s just amazing! Kane is a grumpy alpha who will steal your heart!
Read it!!!
This is the 3rd book in a series. While you technically don’t have to read the other two to enjoy this gem. I would so you get the whole picture and know the other characters.
Protector
Loved Kane and Teale’s story. It had a little love/ hate frustrated love to it. Kane the protector was not without fail in this book. Loved it!
Kane truly is Mr. Grumpy Pants. He is the rugged,outdoorsman from Alaska. Teale is the bubbly ice skater who doesn’t have a filter. Add in the Twinner Sisters and it is a recipe for disaster for Kane. Kristin blows me away with every book, but this one had a curve ball that totally threw me sideways. It makes me sad that this series is over, but she definitely took it out with a bang!
I thought Changed by you was really good it would be the Fourth book that I’ve read by the author and so not the last . The story line really drew me in to what was going on with the characters and hoping by the end it would be a happy one . Kane and Teale are so opposite but compliment one another really well . The hero is very closed off only wants to interact with those he is close to not looking for a relationship he has a kind heart but doesn’t show it . The heroine is so bubbly and says whatever is on her mind you can just see the emotions through her eyes she’s just that open . I really liked this couple is just wooooow love the quirky banter they got going on and the steam oh my the STEAM .
This is a story you don’t want to miss out on one click as soon as possible along with other books by Kristin Mayer .

Changed By You is a SUSPENSEFUL, EMOTIONALLY CHARGED, ENTERTAINING MIND **** of a book. Kristin did an amazing job of keeping me on the tips of my toes. I was riding on Changed By You to go a certain way, and it did, up to a certain point and then BOOM, HOLY EMOTIONS !! The build up surrounding all of the circumstances, was written to perfection. The back and fourth banter between Teale and Kane is one for the books. Heck, the banter alone with the family members was pure magic. The title fits this book to a T.
Kane also known as Mr. Grumpy Pants, is not a people person, he actually only enjoys spending time with family. He is quiet and reserved. He likes simple, just like his life in Skagway. He owns his own business, and enjoys the freedom of the wilderness. Hunting is life to him, as is fishing. He has the mouth of a sailor, and his momma would find great joy in putting soap in his mouth.
Teale is most definitely not your average heroine. She is sassy with a BIG BOLD personality. She finds hilarity in almost everything, because of her awesome sense of humor. She is the one that can make fun out of anything. She is a figure skater, that enjoys ordering pretty much everything online. There is not one person who does not like her, she’s so bubbly she could get along with a bear.
When Kane’s friend Butch rents out a cabin, Butch asks him to help out tenants should problems arise, while he was away, he wasn’t expecting to actually have any problems, until he receives 20 text messages from the unknown tenant. He also was not expecting a loud mouth, sassy woman to jump in his truck and demand things either. When circumstances forces Teale and Kane together, the heat gets really turned up.
*I recommend this book.

5 She Changes His World Stars!!!
One of the things I love so much about Ms. Mayer’s writing is that she can make me snort laugh, have me on the edge of my seat and cry all in one book. Changed by You is a perfect example of her amazing talent. Kane Foster is a man we’ve gotten to know in the first two books in these interconnected standalones and to stay he’s an aloof and very reserved man is putting it mildly. But all that changes when Teale Delaney literally invades his world while she’s taking time to figure out what she wants to do with her future…. in Skagway, Alaska no less!!
This woman is someone that will give him a run for his money. He’s just not sure what to do with her and her inability to stay quiet for longer than a second. There were so many times that I was literally laughing out loud with her antics. She’s beautiful, smart, sassy and Kane has problems keeping away from her.
I loved their interactions she tries so hard to break him down and have him smile which is a rarity indeed. As their time together is extended, Teale reveals more and more about her and Kane opens up a little bit which leads to some very sexy moments between them….
“‘Right now, I just want to come. I need to come.’ ‘Hands above your head, angel.'”
And so begins their more than friendly roommate situation. All this is going on while Kane is tracking a man for the FBI which adds just the right amount of suspense to this story. We get these little nuggets out of the blue and just as I’m relaxing into the story, BAM my nerves are on edge again!
This story was all the things I wanted Kane’s story to be. His family is front and center in his life so we get to get caught up with all of them. His bond with his brothers is a guidepost to his life and as much as he thinks his brothers may be pansies for having fallen in love, Teale just may be the woman that makes him see he can listen to his heart and love really can bring so much joy and passion to his life.
Along the journey of our H/h finding a love that changes their lives, there are secondary characters that literally grabbed my heart and wouldn’t let go. This is where the crying comes into play. I so wasn’t expecting what happened.
All I can say is that Ms. Mayer has written a book that evoked emotions I wasn’t expecting and for me this is the magic of her writing. Allowing me to have a full emotional experience while reading her words.

5 PHENOMENAL STARS!! Kane’s story was PHENOMENAL!! It was full of so many feels with suspense, sexiness, fun banter, that keeps you turning pages. Kane and Teale will take you on one heck of a ride that you never want to end. These two have issues to work through and it is fun watching them. This author’s storytelling is beautiful and perfect it is like watching a movie and seeing the scenes play out.
This book was so FANTASTIC! It had everything I love, a great meet cute, broody closed off hero, know it all sweetheart of a heroine (who steals ALL the hearts, mine included!) suspense, mystery danger, heat, all wrapped up in an outrageously heart stopping kindle fogging package. To top it all off, while this CAN be read and enjoyed as a stand alone, Kane was the last brother to fall in the interconnected series, so we got a peek into the future with all of them! I loved every second of this book, it truly was so good! Even the part where she made me bawl my eyes out was amazing, just a wonderfully heartfelt journey, I could not have loved Teale more! I wish I had a Teale in my life! I can’t wait to read what this author has in store for us next but I hope she keeps doing what she’s doing because I loved every minute I’ve spent in her world!
It’s like she saved the best until last last! Don’t get me wrong, I loved Haydn and Drake’s books but Kane has played on my mind from the first time I ‘met’ him. He has always been more closed off, more intense and more solitary and I knew his book would hit ALL THE FEELS! And I was not wrong!
Teale is a breath of fresh air as she swirls in and literally shakes the ever loving shizz out of Kane, making him want more. The banter between the two had me laughing out loud and their intense moments had my heart beating out of my chest.
Not going to lie either, there were times when the tears flowed down my face as my heart lay on the floor!
I highly recommend you read this, especially if you have read the other two in this series.
A broken toe and a snow day worked to my advantage today as I got to read this in one day…..yes I even took my kindle with me whilst I waited in A&E for an x-Ray!
Kane portrays himself as being dark and tough, but underneath he is just a big softy with a heart of gold, and Teale is just the woman for the job to bring out that other side of him. No spoilers; this is a definite must read, you will not be disappointed. This is a beautifully written flawless story, which had me intrigued and hooked from the very beginning at this humorous and emotional read. I cannot wait to read more form this talented author, whose work I highly recommend for all.
I would not have expected anything less from Kane’s story. I had a hard time putting it down long enough to get some sleep last night. I laughed and cried while reading this. What I was not expecting was Judson, rip my heart out now. Kristin keep up the amazing work, this was the perfect ending to this series.
