Jared was a great ending to this trilogy and just as good as the previous books. I was very curious about Jared his story as we get to know little of him in the first two books. And I enjoyed getting to see his point of view in this book. This book finished the suspense storyline that continued throughout this series and it gets nicely wrapped up at the end. There also is a bit of a set-up for the spin-off series the Wilding Pack, which was nice.
This book does take a bit of a different take when it comes to the suspense element/ plot line. Before it was more military/ action like and here it takes a more political spin. I thought it worked and it made sense how this thing went as high up in the government. It also touches on some heavier topics like being different, being treated differently and people feared those who are different. I liked how things got wrapped up, although I would've liked to know what happened to the Senator now.
Jared is broken, he feels more dead than alive most days. The war damaged and changed him and ever since then he hasn't been himself. Until he meets Grace. I really liked seeing the changes in Jared thanks to Grace. To see him smile again and allow himself to live. There's this scene where Jared smiles for the fist time around his family and it really illustrates the change in him. And Grace knew almost nothing about the shifter world and Jared introduced her to that. And along the way she found a way to show her true self. It was amazing to see the character development these two go through throughout the book. And I really enjoyed reading about them and how good they were for each other.
The romance does develop fast, they only know each other for a short time and this book mostly takes place over a short period of time. But even so it never felt rushed and I really felt the connection, romance and chemistry between these two. They are just right for each other. There is almost no drama, but a lot of talking, sharing and being open with each other. Jared tells Grace eventually about his painful past and Grace doesn't hesitate to ask when she doesn't understand something shifter related. There also was a set-up with an ex from Grace and I am afraid that would bring some drama, but it was resolved very nicely.
I also like how we get to see the characters and couples from the previous books as well. The focus is on Jared and Grace, but we see glimpses of Jared his mom and the previous main characters. And I liked how each of these couples is so different and each character has their own personality. I also liked how Jaxson, Jace, Olivia and Piper, still felt like the same characters even now they were side characters. It's really neat when an author manages that. It was fun to see all the River brothers find their happy ending.
This is a great paranormal romance series. I like how the author handles the shifter aspect, while also leaving enough space for romance and some action and danger. It's a great mix. I also thought it was nice that the whole mate thing wasn't as definite as in other books, yes they did feel and instant connection, but it was still their decision to mate. I would've liked to learn more about Grace her white wolf power, as it felt that never got fully explored. We do know they are rare and a few ways in which she is special, but I would've liked to learn more about this. Why these white wolves are rare, why she is a white wolf and how she is different from normal wolves.
To summarize: this was a great ending to the series! this book is just as good as the previous books and it ends the series on a high note and wraps things up nicely while also setting the stage for the next series. I really liked Grace and Jared. they are so good for each other and there's a lot of character change in both of them. I really felt their romance, eve though it developed fast and I liked seeing them together. There are a few small things about Grace her wolf form that aren't answered, but overall I like how the author handled the shifter aspect. This book was a good ending to this series and I hope I can start the Wilding pack series soon and I hope it's just as good as this one!

I liked Jace’s book best. This book for me fell a little flat. Jared I thought was very different in this book than I pictured him from the first 2 books. Then we have the whole best virgin sex EVER. It was just all too much.
The politic stuff too it was ok not in your face but it was just I don’t know boring.
The narration was just ok for me.

An awesome ending to this series
4.5 stars
Jared is so broken from war, and the loss of his wife, he's in a dark place that no one can pull him out from. Not even family. Until Grace. I love that it was Grace that pulled him out of his dark place with her innocence. The growth between the both of them insuch a short period of time is amazing.

River Pack Wolves Book Three
Grace Krepky is surprised to find another wolf in the woods behind her home and terrified that he will reveal her secret. As the daughter and campaign manager of an anti-shifter politician, the fact that she is a shifter could be disastrous. Jared has no intention of outing the beautiful white wolf. In fact, she kept him from killing her father. Now, Jared must pose as a bodyguard for Grace to insure that her father's anti-shifter policies never see the light of day. When an old enemy shows up in Grace's father's office, though, Jared cannot contain himself. His wolf comes out and Grace's life is placed in imminent danger.
Audio Review:
Brian Hatch and Morais Almeida could be great narrators for a different genre. Unfortunately, Brian's narration is a bit overdramatic with a lot of pauses between words. Overall, the narration was not bad, just a little too over-the-top.
If you're looking for a political thriller with some paranormal themes, this is the book for you!

The 'you can't love me because I'm broken' and ''but I do you crazy brave shifter' theme was too overdone in this one for my tastes.
I may be a little odd, but I also got a little disappointed with the healing ability of the shifters. Being shot (many times) should result in more that a night in bed, before bouncing back into action. I like my angst.

Good beginning.
I had high hopes for Jared and whoever was going to pull him out of his head, but this love story didn't connect with me. I really thought it would and the start was good, but then the end lost me. Not because it was bad, but because of the freedom the she-wolf assumed. Not my style.
