You would think shifting into a creature of the night would garner some respect, right? Wrong! At least not for these Guardians. Guardians are Shifters that live within the shadows of the human world. Humans have no knowledge of their existence. Contact between Guardians and Humans is forbidden. It is their most sacred law. However, when a human is attacked, things change for both worlds. Ancient … worlds.
Ancient prophecies speak of a union that will regenerate life from the past – a past some in the supernatural world wish would remain buried.
But, buried secrets have a way of coming back to haunt us when we least expect it.

Wow. What an amazing story. I love this story. The characters and species in this story are classics… with a bit of a twist. Horacio, Tiberius and Jasmine are awesome. I love the dynamic between them. It’s a wonderful triad and it’s was a pleasure to go this journey with them. Each of them bring something different and unique to the trio and it just wouldn’t be the same without all of them together. The supporting characters round out this story perfectly. There are up, downs and even a few moments that will throw you sideways. I can’t wait to read more. This author never disappoints.
I was entering a new world of Shuler’s books when I started this one, but I was very eager for the journey.
I found both the list of Character Names and Creature Descriptions to be helpful in setting up my mind for this new adventure.
The prologue was so stunningly written that I could already feel the pain and pent-up emotions along with these characters. Shuler is fabulous at weaving her words together in such as way as to pull the reader completely into her worlds. I already know this is going to be an amazing and thrilling adventure.
There was plenty of heat in Chapter 8 and onward. I was fully invested in these characters and watching them embrace their attraction.
As secrets were revealed further on in the story, I was very curious about how it would alter their relationship and plans for the future. It seemed there was more at stake than they realized, and I found that very intriguing. As Jasmine learned more and more and pieced the truth about herself together, I was absolutely hooked.
There was also no shortage of action from that point on as the conflicts for Jasmine ensued.
So many battles of raging bodies and emotions. It was a whirlwind from there until the end. I really enjoyed this one – even more so since it’s not my usual genre to read.
Wow! Just wow! Ty and Horacio only have eyes for each other until they meet Jasmine. She is not what she thinks she is. This book contains action, romance, intimacy, magic, and mayhem. Loved every minute of it.
3 1/2 out of 5 stars
Welcome to the world of the guardians . Horacio and Ty are shifters a bear and a jaguar . They are mates and guardians, they keep the peace between the shifters, fae and humans . They were happy together in their own little world until the night when they saved Jasmine a human . Their lives are turned upside down . When they find out they are all mates and that Jasmine is more then human . When the world comes crashing around them and it takes all of them to get Jasmine back in their arms .
This is a m/f/m romance with a paranormal twist . The characters are well written but I felt like I couldn’t connect with Jasmine . She came off way to pure at the beginning . But as I read she kind of grew on me . Horacio and Ty are sexy and sweet in so many ways. There are so many characters in this book you kind of get lost in them . You would really want Horacio and Ty protecting you oh and climb them like a spider monkey occasionally . I liked the way they were with Jasmine .
This was a good read but I really did find myself getting lost in the abundance of characters . The author takes us on a fantasy adventure , with Fae , shifters oh and dragons . Yes people we have dragons . I liked the concept of the book but I would of loved to have a little bit more back story on the main characters . The book read fast and I finished it in an afternoon . Over all I did really enjoy this book and the story line was good . So if you want a really steamy read for your hot summer reading list check it out
ally enjoyed this book. With all the different paranormal beings and shifters. To the unique bond that the 3 of them had. Definitely a series I will continue to follow.
3.5 for me. I enjoyed the concept and the pace of the story. I don’t know I had a little bit of a hard time getting into the story and the characters. The main character Jasmine kind of rubbed me the wrong way so it was hard to care for her character. While I liked the overall story itself there was just something about it that I couldn’t get into.
Shifting Shadows by Barb Shuler is an adrenaline filled fantasy of phenomenal proportions. The world she has created is full of every shifter ever created, suspense, mayhem, magic, family and love. Horatio and Tiberius have q strong mated relationship when they are drawn to Jasmine a human or so they think but find she is part fae and Wolf. Schuler’s character development and amazingly detailed storyline keep this book moving at a fast pace and you will not be able to put it down. Be prepared for a war of epic proportions, characters you will both love and hate and steamy love scenes. I only hope there are more books to go with this one because I’m hooked.
This was a great story with different species of shifters mixing with humans even though it’s forbidden. I really loved the characters and the original plot. Definitely a series I want to continue reading!!
** Overall rating: 5
I really appreciate these books that make it so painless to grant a 5 star rating and what is even more surprising is, this book does not lack for hot and steamy scenes! My particular cravings in reading selections do not require the mature scenes at all. Too many times I find myself having to skip over the scenes because they felt thrown in as opposed to fitting in with the story. This book is a rare exception for me. The storyline grabbed me from chapter one and the characters felt so relatable I ended the book wanting to know what their future lives look like. The passion leapt from the pages so much it truly surprised me when I couldn’t help but drink in each word. The flow of the book was seamless, the storyline moved like silk. It felt wonderful to be totally swept away in this tale!
