We begin to see more about what is special about him besides being unique in the whole shifter world. He was created for search and rescue, which he does extremely well. He is awoken in the middle of the night with feeling extreme pain over his psychic link to those in distress. He is compelled to find and rescue this individual. He doesn’t know where or how but he goes. His mate Carly, a human woman who is the mate-of-his-heart refuses to let him go off alone. Last time she did that he was whisked off to faery and in extreme danger. No way was Carly allowing that. As we follow with Tiger on this journey we are treated to the interactions of this couple and learn more about Liam’s nephew Connor who’s about to go through transition.
Oh I love this series and Jennifer feeds our hunger for her beloved character. Thank you Jennifer for the ARC of this story for my honest review. It is always a privilege and honor.
Book is different than her others
Note: ** It can be read as a stand-alone, but I’d recommend at least reading Tigers novel, Tiger Magic, so you can fully understand the background on our lead characters.
Tiger is one of my favorite characters. He is truly unique. Tiger Striped is a quick fun novella in the Shifters Unbound series. This one showcases Carly and Tiger and the adventure they go on. What they find will change their lives. We also get to see Conner shine a little.
Tiger Striped is a nice edition to the series.
Rated: 3.5 Stars
A great paranormal romance series
Wow, sure did not see this coming, great addition to the story line!
This was a quick, easy read (well, it’s a novella!) and I absolutely ADORED it!! From the first page, I wasn’t able to put it down until the very end. Tiger of course, is always my favorite. The very mystery of him is magnetic, and not knowing what or who is calling to him makes this a real page turner… I couldn’t wait to find out! Kudos to Carly for taking care of her mate, and Connor stowing away was great fun! As for the reason for this illicit trek…. WOW. I can’t say, because… spoilers! ….but you will NOT be disappointed!!! I absolutely guarantee it!
Sooo fricken good. OMG. I can’t believe it. I never saw this story coming. A fabulous short read.
This, being a novella, was quick and intense. Even though I was able to predict where it was going, it still was a pretty intense moment when the hunt came to fruition. I do believe Tiger is my favorite, and watching him in action is always fun. So though it was quick, it still gave me a thrill to read about something so important to Tiger.
Very well done, Jennifer Ashley. Even if you’re becoming predictable, I still love the story you tell and how you get there!
I read the whole series. I recommend you do to.
An excellent, fun taste to tide us Shifters Unbound fans over. Tiger’s book was a huge favorite of mine and I was super excited to read a short story about him. I of course wanted so much more. I’m eagerly awaiting the next book in the series.
Waited forever for more Tiger. Great story that leaves you wanting more.
Too short…… felt there was more
3.75 stars– TIGER STRIPED by Jennifer Ashley is instalment 11.5 and novella in the author’s contemporary, adult SHIFTERS UNBOUND paranormal/fantasy romance series and follows Tiger, a lab-created shifter, and his mate Carly, previously introduced in TIGER MAGIC #5 as they go in search for a part of Tiger’s past.
SOME BACKGROUND: Thousands of years in the past, the Fae created the shifters-a cross between beast and man-and in the ensuing time the Fae lost control and power over the battle creatures they had created for war. Approximately twenty years ago shifters were exposed to the human population. Out of fear, discrimination and specieism, the shifters were collared with Fae magic in the belief that it would control aggression; then they were forced into segregated communities known as Shiftertowns. There are several Shiftertowns located throughout America where shifters live in a relative but strained peace amongst their own kind.
Told from dual third person points of view (Tiger and Carly) TIGER STRIPED follows Tiger as he goes in search of someone or something. Awakened in the middle of the night by a psychic distress call; an unknown force he is unable to explain, Tiger does not hesitate to leave the warmth of his marital bed to hunt for the unknown. Not wanting her mate to walk into a trap, Carly does what come naturally and goes along with Tiger as he journeys towards the unknown. Along with Connor Morrisey, a young lion shifter who has stowed away in the back of his uncle’s truck, our trio crosses state lines, and risks reprisals from the Shifter Bureau, as Tiger continues to focus on his end goal. What ensues is a dramatic car chase with a darkened SUV, and a number of uniformed enforcers trying to protect what Tiger hopes to unleash.
TIGER STRIPED is a very quick read; a short story that reveals a little bit of Tiger’s past, and the ramifications of a controlled experiment that went horribly wrong. There is a little bit of everything: action, suspense, romance, betrayal and love. TIGER STRIPED is a must read for fans of Jennifer Ashley’s SHIFTERS UNBOUND.
I love this paranormal series about shifters and the hardships they face in a human world.
Luv this entire series
I absolutely loved this book. I always love me some Tiger, definitely one of my favorite characters in this series….actually, he may be my favorite. He is such a special and unique individual, add in his love for his mate and son, you get a truly flawless character. Tiger is getting pulled to save someone, the pull is so strong and painful that he goes to leave in the middle of the night. Luckily Carly, his mate, hears him and goes with him. They go to take Dylan’s truck, yeah that’s gonna work out great for them *shakes head*. So, they have Dylan’s truck and Connor is also a stowaway in the back, plus their shifters out of shifter town (psst, that’s illegal), I mean what could possibly go wrong? Rhetorical question, no need to answer.
There is some drama/action/suspense. We get wonderful surprise in this book and it just made my heart happy. This was a safe read, with two very emotionally connected mates that are truly relationship goals. No couple drama at all. This is one of my favorite series ever and I truly believe that each book gets better, if I could have given this more stars, I would have. I think Jennifer Ashley has a great storytelling gift and I am “patiently” awaiting the next book. Thank you Jennifer Ashley for continuing to write this amazing series.
