Shifters Unbound Book 13: The Last Warrior by Jennifer Ashley

The Last Warrior
Shifters Unbound Book 13

Ben, the last of a warrior race destroyed by the Fae, has lived a thousand years in exile and now has found a place among the Shifters. He’s the caretaker of a sentient house outside New Orleans, and the Shifters turn to him when they’re in dire trouble. Even so, Ben is aware of his aloneness, his people gone forever.

Rhianne, daughter of the powerful Lady Aisling, is in a jam. She’s pursued by an ambitious and ruthless Fae lord--marriage to her will help him become emperor. Rhianne sees only one escape, to flee her home for the world of humans and Shifters.

But for that, she’ll need a guide and a protector.

Ben just happens to be handy, using his skills to help other enemies of the Fae. Lady Aisling asks him for the favor of his life—to take Rhianne to a Shiftertown and look out for her, even if it means putting him in the most danger he’s faced since his final battle with the Fae.

Rhianne is reluctant to trust her fate to the unknown Ben, but she soon finds the human world, the Shifters, and most of all Ben, have captured her fascination, and possibly her heart.

My Review: 5/5 Stars 

Ben finally gets a book! Ben is such a beloved character in this series. I feel like he makes an appearance in almost every book and yet he hasn't had his own happily ever after. He helps everyone he cans and watches his friends find their mates, but never him. And has hit points where he thinks it is just not in the cards for him. Especially that he is the last of kind and was exiled so long ago. But now that finally changes. When Lady Aisling recruits him to save her daughter and protect her from an evil Fae, Ben doesn't hesitate to help. What he never saw coming was the connection he would have with Rhianne. A connection that frightens him because everything he loves tends to disappear and he is used to never being chosen. Rhianne doesn't understand why her father is suddenly determined to capture her. He sent a Fae to kidnap and marry her but luckily Ben came to her rescue. And now she finds herself in the human world with Shifters and places she has never seen before. But with Ben at her side, the world isn't so scary. That is until an unexpected change begins inside her and her magic. And her father is coming for her. It will take more than just her and Ben to stop him. I loved this story. It had so many great elements to it. First off, lots of plot twists. There were so many great surprises that came with this one, changing what we know about the world so far. It also involved a lot of characters we love coming together when Ben needed them for once. I love seeing so many great characters come together. Then of course Ben and Rhianne. Ben is a favorite character and it was nice to see him find his mate. And Rhianne was a great surprise. A badass in her own right and a great match for Ben. Love this series and I cannot wait for more!
