Maverik’s broken. His entire world came crashing down around him without warning, stolen from him brutally in the night by the one female he entrusted his soul to. His Wolf is all he’s got left, both are bitter, wary, untrusting and dangerous. They hide behind a wall of snarky, biting humor erected to keep the rest of the world at bay as they try desperately to cling to survival each and every … day. He’s managed to find shelter in a clan of shifters. They have given him the support he needs to nurse his wounds in his solitary, self-imposed emotional isolation. It’s barely an existence but it works for him, only now it’s getting harder. His clan is growing; they’re finding their Mates, their One. They‘re having babies, loving, laughing – living. And he’s not. He’s feeling more and more isolated. And the fact that he’s stumbled across another female that gives every indication that she’s his Mate is not helping. The last one almost destroyed him; there is no way in hell he will allow another female, any female, an opportunity to complete the job.
Valerie’s a Lion shifter. She’s independent, strong, loving and kind. She’s got more curves than a country backroad and gave up the struggle to be model perfect years ago. She’s learned to love who she is and knows exactly what she’s got to offer the right male. Her Lioness has dreamed all her life of finding the One male who’s meant for her, the one who will love her unconditionally and be proud to call her “Mine.” Unfortunately for her; the wild, tatted, mohawked and oh so sexy Wolf shifter who joins the local clan that frequents her brothers bar is the male that her Lioness decides is hers. And the bastard won’t even acknowledge her existence! His repeated rebuffs of her attempts to just have a conversation with him end in her blazing hatred for him. If he can’t see past the curves that adorn her body to the amazing female underneath, it’s his loss, not hers. Why then, is it his face she sees each time she closes her eyes at night, each time her new fiance’ kisses her?
Maverik’s had enough. The little Lioness calls to him in a way that he can no longer ignore. He wants her; forever. But before he can do anything about it, he’s got to deal with the ashes of his past. He’s got to go back, lay it all to rest and try to salvage some semblance of who he once was, of the honorable male that died that night. Maybe then he’ll be enough. Maybe then she’ll see him as the male he once was proud to be. Will he be able to man up, to make peace with his past before her hatred of him becomes so intense that she’ll never be able to see around it? He certainly hopes so, because without her, he’ll never survive.
This is the fourth book in the Avaleigh’s Boys series, about a group of shifters who make their home in the backwoods and bayous of South Louisiana. Their clan consists of a mix-matched group of shifters who depend on one another and are loyal to no end. These are their stories.

I just love the way everyone comes together to help one of their own ! This is well written and strongly recommended to all !
Dragons, wolves, bears, (oh my!) fun characters, interesting storyline. I was especially pleased w the catch-ups in each book, so I get to continue to follow couples and creatures/peeps from previous stories.
I really enjoy this series. A group of sexy shifter men, who shouldn’t fit together. The author gives these characters their own unique, individual personality. In this one Maverik’s story finally gets told. Bam’s mate is revealed. I am so excited for the next book.
I’m in a standstill with this book. I love it so much that I couldn’t stop reading but at the same time wanted to take my time savoring each page. Definitely will come back and reread. That is how much I have loved each of these books. Maverik doesn’t stay behind at all with his story and dark past. Sandra made me want to reach in this book and throat punch a couple people.
In Maverik’s Ashes, Maverik has to face his past in order to move on. He’s been in pain for far too long, and is ready seek the happiness he sees everyone finding with their mate. Unfortunately Maverik has hurt Valerie for way too long and she’s had enough. Now he needs to find a way to fix his mistakes so he can finally have the life he deserves. Let’s just hope they’re not beyond repair. And now with his surprise additions to the family, he’s got the whole clan behind him and everyone whose a part of it, and take on whatever comes their way. I’d definitely love to have Delilah on my side too.
This is the 4th book in the series. Told the story of Maverik in third person. Once you meet these amazing characters, you will be hooked just as much as I am right now. Every single one is a must read. I can’t wait to hear more from Sandra and her boys and the women that follow them.
