The Protectors Unlimited runs three books from 2017 to 2018, opening with Can’t Prove Shift before continuing through Suave as Shift and In Deep Shift. The titles alone signal what kind of series this is: Keira Blackwood is having fun, and she wants readers along for the ride. Shifter heroes with more confidence than sense, women who aren’t about to be impressed without good reason, and a series that never takes itself more seriously than necessary.
What ties the three books together is a shared sense that being a paranormal creature is mostly inconvenient and occasionally hilarious. The shifters in this series are protective by nature but not in a way that crowds out the female leads, who tend to give as good as they get when it comes to banter and stubbornness. Romance builds at a pace that feels earned rather than instant, with enough friction to make the payoff satisfying.
Readers already familiar with Blackwood’s Protectors world will find the Unlimited entries fit right in alongside the main series and Quick Bites, while newcomers can pick this up without any prior reading. Three books is a short commitment, and each one ends on a satisfying note before handing off to the next.
