Iron Master by Jennifer AshleyMy rating: 5 of 5 stars
When Shifters and Fae Collide
I’d probably give this book 4.5 ⭐️ if I could.
This book deals with the relationship between Peigi, a bear shifter, and Stuart, a Dokk Alfar who was exiled from faerie over 50 years ago. Peigi had a rough start in this series and was rescued from a bad situation with an abusive mate and cult-like community. When she was rescued she decided to look after 6 orphaned cubs who came from the same community she’d been part of.
When Peigi was given a home 3 years ago she was taken under the wing of several strong alphas. She was taught how to stand up for herself, how to fight and how to protect those she loves. She learnt all this whilst finding her way back to happiness through the love and care of the cubs she was raising.
Stuart passes as human on Earth. He works for a private detective/security agency. He’s also moved in with Peigi and the cubs. It was a gradual thing and they are living platonically though both have feelings for the other. Neither has been brave enough to act on those feelings, until now.
It all starts when Stuart is pulled into faerie by a fellow Dokk Alfar, Cian, who needs Stuart’s Iron Master skills, something he’s not used in 50 years, just as he and Piegi had decided to stop dancing around each other.
This book is spent mainly dealing with the fae as well as Peigi and Stuart’s ongoing relationship. There’s plenty of action and plot twists galore, there is wild shifter passion and wondrous fae magics and the sweet gentle love of a parent for a cub.
This is a great book in this series and I can’t wait to see what the author does next. I love that there is now a huge range of communities for the author to draw on to find the characters to write about next. You don’t get a chance to get bored with the same characters each time, because each book seems to change location, even as the plot of shifters versus the fae and fighting for freedom from the humans continue throughout the series.
