Jasper has always been a born protector. When he lost his one true soulmate in January 2000, his life changed. He didn’t just need to look out for himself, he had to look out for his soulmate’s baby – Lisa. This takes him down a path that you don’t expect a shifter to take, but Jasper has found his place in the only life he knows. Fast forward seventeen years, and Jasper is still that born … born protector. He’s protected many people, but now that protection has backfired on him. He needs to look out for himself, put the past behind him, and move on with his life with his family. However, it’s not that simple, because the council has a hold over him. That hold needs to break, and only a united pack will be able to set Jasper free from the life he once loved.
Authors Note – Although Jasper is book 2 of this series, I do believe you can read this book without reading Lisa – Coming Of Age first. To get the best of the full story and all of the characters follow the order in which they’re published. 🙂
Book 1 – Lisa
Book 2 – Jasper
Book 3 – Kevin
Book 4 – Joel

Jasper is the glue and the reason why their community exist. When it comes time to take the credit/blame for what occurred with Lisa he stands to protect his friends and family from the fallout. He holds family and friends close to his heart and when that is used against him by the people he’s committed his life’s work too it’s on. He has no problem with taking the punishment but now he is torn. Thrust into one last mission he knows he has to win and this time it’s not just his life on the line. A story packed with action and rebellion it’s a battle to the finish not just to help and rescue but to come out of it alive and in one piece. It’s a story of love, of family, and fate.
Jasper is book 2 of the Guardian Shifters series by KM Lowe and can be read as a standalone, but I definitely recommend that you read Lisa, book 1, first to better understand the story.
“Our future will start together. Forever and always, if you’ll have me.” – Jasper
I liked Jasper from the moment I met him in the first book of the series and was excited that his book would be up next. Jasper is a guy you can’t help but like because he’s so honest, caring and strong. He was born to be a leader, but is happy to help others be the leader whilst he protects those he loves. Jasper had a really tough time prior to Lisa’s birth and then changed his life to ensure he always remained true to a promise he made. I really wanted Jasper to find true love again and have someone in his life who would always be by his side.
At first, I wasn’t sure where KM Lowe was going to take Jasper’s story because I could see it going either of two ways. Thankfully, she took Jasper in the direction I hoped for and I absolutely loved what she did for him. Stracey was just the woman for Jasper as she shares the same attributes as him, and her never ending patience allowed him the time he needed to heal. My favourite parts of Jasper had to be the scenes between just Jasper and Stracey. You could clearly feel the love between them as they finally stopped holding back and followed their hearts. I didn’t want these scenes to end; just like I didn’t want the book to end.
This is the first paranormal series I’ve read by KM Lowe, but I’ve enjoyed it just as much as I’ve enjoyed the other books I’ve read by her. It takes great talent to be able to write different genres, but KM Lowe does it so well and I’d be surprised to find a reader who isn’t able to read and love all of her books no matter what the genre.
Jasper – United Together is book 2 in the Guardian Shifters series by K.M Lowe. I knew when I read book 1 of the Guardian Shifters I was going to love this series.
When Jasper and the pack broke the Council’s rules he knew there would be a punishment to go with it and the protector in him took it and kept the rest of the pack safe. He should be sentenced to death but the Council need him for a mission. Jasper makes a deal – he does this mission then hes out! He’s want to be with his kids, his pack and one particular witch. He’s their best enforcer, will the Council agree? Will the Council let him leave, just like that?
I love the storylines that this series is following. The chemistry between the characters can be felt. Its great that the secondary chararcters are not just in the background. I can’t wait for the release of the next part of this series. The paranormal/romance genre is quickly becoming one of my favourites to read.
Although Jasper could be read as a standalone, I would highly recommend reading the first in the series, Lisa – Coming of Age first. You won’t regret it!
This is an action packed shifter series I couldn’t put down. Jaspers story is fast action packed read that sees him and Kevin being sent away to help the council one last time that will see the pack split apart and pushed to the limit but will the council live up to the deal or not. Can Jasper help Kevin deal with his injured mate and can they protect Darcy from the council and Joel. This series has it all the shifters the love the family unit the protectors you need to survive in this cruel and sometimes horrible life. This is a highly recommended series I would gladly tell people to read you won’t be disappointed with.
