Change in the Light

Rate this book
In the fourth installment of the Lightbearer series, we shift to Detroit, where pack master Josh Tigre is obligated to take a mate and produce offspring to carry on his family line. Problem is, the woman he falls for is human. According to the rules of the pack, he can never tell her about his true nature, which means at some point, he has to give her up.

Rachel Whitaker is a human woman trying to survive in a world in which it seems the cards are always stacked against her. When she’s forced to seduce Josh in exchange for her own life, the task is no hardship—until she falls for the one she is supposed to help destroy.

Rachel decides to fight back against the man manipulating her life, starting in motion a chain of events that adversely affect two worlds—and she doesn’t even know it.

Rachel is forced into seducing Josh by the threat of a man who will kill her if she doesn't. She has no idea why except that she is to be a distraction. She doesn't know that Josh is not only an alpha shifter, but is also her mate. Josh and Rachel are sizzling together. I wanted more of them and definitely more about the friends and family around them. I can't wait to read more of this series.

I give Change in the Light 4 hearts!

I really love this series. This was really good book, but it just wasn't favorite of the series. I think I missed more of a presence of the Lightbearers. Tami did an excellent job of creating a villain in this book. I strongly disliked him right from the start. Rachel is pretty much struggling in her life barely ends meat then her worst nightmare comes into her life. With the fear for her life she does this evil man's bidding. When she meets her target Josh he is nothing like she expects. Josh is keeping a big secret from her and it's for the survival of his pack. Rachel starts to weave her way through Josh's life, but she starting feel something for this gentle giant of a man. I liked how the pack to find words to best describe who they are without telling exactly who they are to Rachel. Josh is going against pack by just being associated with Rachel, but when strong feelings develop will he be willing to potentially sacrifice his spot within the pack? How is he going to react once he learns the turn nature of why Rachel came into his life? Tami does an excellent job or weaving her magic to create an awesome tale.

I love this series and I think this might be my favorite one in the series so far. I really like the characters Rachel and Josh, they have great chemistry that leads to some steamy scenes. This book hooked me right from the start and I didn't want to put it down. I was even reading it on my phone during my breaks and lunch. This can be a stand alone but we do get to see some returning characters from the previous books. Josh is a shifter and Rachel is human, pack rules say they can't mate but will love prevail or will traditions? What will Rachel do if she finds out he is a shifter, what will Josh do if he finds out why Rachel entered his life in the first place? This and other mysteries will be revealed. I was given an ARC for a fair and honest review.

Yes. Yes. Yes. Josh and Rachel burn up the pages with their animal chemistry. I loved this book. A great shifter romance. As a fan of the series, I was expecting more story centered around the Lightbearers, who only ended up making a cameo appearance. But reading about Josh Tigre's pack and his unexpected human love interest left me fully satisfied. Another slam dunk by this author and a great addition to the series.

Words can't describe how much I enjoyed reading this series. Just fact that its unique and different it's what drawn me to the series in the first place. I was little taken back that this book wasn't centered around the lightbearers. It's was nice to see them make a cameo appearance tho. I can't wait to see what going to happen next in the series I'm hoping its about Josh cousin Matt.

Omg...I had such a hard time putting down this book because I just needed to know what was going to happen next. Was Rachel going to survive or was Pantera gonna kill her? Page after page you didn't know. Was Josh going to find out her secret? These were questions you just had to have answered or you couldn't put the book down.

Sometimes you might even catch yourself yelling at the author, or holding your breathe. But aren't those the feelings you need when you are reading a great book with excellent suspense. Of course I will not divulge the answers for you, you must venture into the book to discover them yourself.

A TERRFIC NEW BOOK.FOR TAMI LUND .... OVER 18 READING
I WAS GIVENTHIS BOOK FOR A REVIEW
Josh Tigre, (as pack master to Detroit shifter pack) is expected to mate and produce the next generation to carry the family name. First problem is the woman he falls for is human and that is not allowed in his pack, he can't even tell her what he is. Rachel Whitaker is just trying to survive in a world that seems against her, even working two jobs she can barely survive. Then she is kidnaped from one job and forced to seduce Josh, to save her own life, who she doesn't even know. He lets her know he choose her for this job because if he needs to kill her no one will care or look for her. The man then changes his mind and was a love connection between the two , by this time she cares or Josh and doesn't want to lose him, no matter what. But her friends and people who have been kind to her are her weakness, she will do anything to protect them. More then once Josh will see bruises on her but she will not turn to him or tell him about it. he became back master when his parents died in a car wreck a years and a half ago. Can he win it and save his pack? Will he fight to save the pack or win Rachel ? When she finds out who and what they are, what will she do? Keep their secret? Run away ? This was a thrilling story with lots of twist and a finale question to determine everything for Jose and Rachel, do they get to stay or have to leave?

I just love this series!! Rachel is given a choice seduce Josh, a pack leader, or be killed. When faced that she decides to seduce Josh but she doesn't anticipate feelings getting in the way or the mystery man controlling her showing up still and wanting her to do more. Josh has only been pack leader for over a year since his parents died and doesn't agree with how they keep themselves separate from humans. When his feeling start to grow how will he deal with the fact that pack law says he can't mate with a human. As their romance grows and secrets are learned will they be able to stay together.

Another great book from this author. Once again she gives you a great story with strong characters, and not just the main ones. The supporting cast is great and make the story. I love how you see characters from previous stories, it's always nice when that characters cross over books even just for a little bit. I can't wait to see who's story's next, so many too choose from but whomever it is it'll be worth the wait! I received this in exchange for a honest review.

" Exciting, Intriguing, and steamy hot!"
Josh Tiger is a Pack Master his pack can change into different kinds of animal's. Only he has a traitor in the pack.. Rachel is a curvy woman just trying to survive. She works two jobs one is as a maid in a high class hotel. Sometimes she meets wealth men who help her out a little . She thinks this is one of those times when a cute guy takes her to one of the rooms. Only she is wrong she gets captured, tied up and then forced to seduce Josh for this dangerous Man named Kent Pantrea. He is one of Josh's pack only he has wanted to be the Pack Master for years. This time is is going to use human Rachel to achieve his goal. He let's her know if she does not help him he will kill her!. When Josh and Rachel meet there is a strong attraction between them. In fact she maybe Josh's fated mate only it is against the rules to take a human mate!
You will love this suspenseful, exciting, action packed, and steamy hot Romance!. If I could give it more then five stars I would!.

The fourth Lightbearer book releases in January, 2016. We are shifting away from the Lightbearers' coterie and focusing on the Detroit shifter pack, and sexy pack leader Josh Tigre, who has fallen for a human woman.

Not good.

No, wait, very good - for you, the reader! Josh and Rachel make an unlikely couple, not that it stops them from steaming up the pages of this book. Of course, none of my couples have perfect lives, and Josh and Rachel are absolutely no exception. In fact, Rachel hooked up with Josh to save her own life - and stayed because the man who threatened her wasn't satisfied with the initial results - and stayed some more because she fell for the guy she was supposed to be using. On top of all that, she's human, which is a big fat no no in the shifter world.

You have to read the book to figure out how this couple is going to get out of this mess. I promise, it's a bumpy ride.

I adore this series. So happy to be reviewing this one.

Rachel is hard working but it seems as if fate is never on her aside and she is always struggling to live.

Josh is the pack master and feels pressure to find his mate.

In the world of the Detroit shifter pack, one rule is always up front: Humans must never know if shifter existence.
When Rachel runs into a world of trouble and finds herself held captive by Kent, she knows she is going to die and she is willing to do anything to ensure her life. She agrees to preoccupy Josh so that Kent can take over the pack.

Josh and Rachel seem to be perfect for each other.
When destruction starts happening within the pack, she knows she must tell Josh exactly what is going on.

She runs and Kent is the one to find her.

Can they stop Kent?? Can Josh put her betrayal aside?

This series is a must read. The storyline is phenomenal and the writing will keep you so enthralled that you won't put this down until the end.

Rachel Whitaker is working two jobs and still struggling to make ends meet. She stupidly let a man charm her into his room at the hotel she works in, only to find herself in mortal danger. She is then pressured into doing something that will forever change her life.
Josh Tigre took over the pack when his parents died, but as pack master it's his duty to mate a shifter and produce pups. His problem is he wants to mate for love. Someone in his pack is determined to oust him from his position by any means possible.

This is part of a series but can be read as a stand alone. Our shifters in this story can take any form they want, and keep their magic secret from the humans. An exciting romance, with a lot of danger surrounding our poor heroine. Our sexy hero has a lot of responsibility on his shoulders but is strong enough to deal with it. A very enjoyable read.

Change is always difficult but throw in a community that has had it bred into them that change isn't a good thing that makes things even more difficult. It all comes down to the heart knows what it wants and will stop at nothing to get it. Josh and Rachel meet not by accident and sparks start to fly, one is on a mission and the other is just trying to keep his secret. When the sparks become a roaring flame things start to get a bit out of control and trouble is right at their heals. These two have proven that they can over come anything that jumps in their path and keep on going. Tami Lund captured me from the very first book in this series and has yet to let go.

I received this book for an honest review.

Change in the Light by Tami Lund

This is the fourth book in the Lightbearer series, but is not centered around the Lightbearers, it is centered around a pack of multiple animals shifters. The Lightbearers do make a cameo appearance, but the story centers around pack master Josh Tigre and the human woman threatened into seducing him, Rachel Whitaker.

The chemistry between Josh and Rachel fairly burns up the sheets...the rest of the characters are well developed and believable, while the premise of evil is truly frightening. You'll find yourself rooting for the good guys to oust the evil before it is too late to save innocent lives.

This book was provided by the author for my honest review.

BOOK FOR AN HONEST REVIEW!!

Even though I haven't read the books in between the first and this book it's awesome that I haven't noticed the missing books. There were a few instances I wished I'd read the other books before this one but since they were connected but not necessary to reading this book it was all good.

And this book is pretty da*n awesome. I couldn't put it down while reading. Even when my husband told me he was going to go meet up with my dad I waved him off because I was so engrosed in reading. I only wish I had been able to read this sooner since I had this book with me for a few weeks. Well, I am so glad to have finally gotten to it. And now I am going to go back and read the rest of the stories because this is awesome!

CAPTIVATING READ
This is the 4th book and a great addition to the Lightbearer Series. Josh is the Pack Master of his shifter pack whose members can change into different species. He has a traitor in his pack who has always wanted to be the Pack Master. Rachael is a human working hard to make ends meet when she is captured and forced to seduce Josh by the traitor Kent, or he will kill her. When she meets Josh they fall for each other, and she may even be his mate, but it's against the rules to mate with a human or even let them know about them. What will happen? You'll have to read it to find out. This book is exciting and grabs you from the start. It's full of action, suspense, and sexy romance. I received this book as a gift for an honest review.

Change In the Light ( Lightbearer Series Book #4 ) by Tami Lund
I was given this book for my honest opinion. The shifter pack master is Josh Tigre in Detroit. He has to take a mate but is having a hard time. Rachel Whitaher is a human woman who is all alone. Her mother has never been there for her. Rachel wakes up tied to a chair her captor tells her she has to seduce Josh or he would kill her. Rachel doesn’t know who he is or that he wants to take over as the pack master from Josh. Josh and Rachel fall for each other. There are so many twist and turns in this story. I truly hated to see this story end but it has a happily ever after ending. I would recommend this book if you love hot sex and and a sexy couple. Great read.

I am a big fan of Tami's Lightbearer series and this one does not disappoint. I was introduced to Rachel, a human who gets herself in a situation that she can't get out of. In this situation she meets Josh and I am a fan of his right away. He's caring, protective and sexy all wrapped into a shifter package. Tami delivers another great story between the two. She even has some cameos from Tanner and Olivia from book one. This was an enjoyable read and I give it five stars.

Wow !!!! Exciting roller coaster adventure with a touch of aggressive abuse to our beautiful leading lady Rachel. The sexual tension the lust poured of the pages, the secrets kept me on the edge of my seat. I loved this book.
I've read one other in the light bearer series and this is every bit as good as the last, Tami has a wonderful writing style that brings the story to life and makes it extremely hard to put the book down, you want to get to know the characters, you want to hold them, love them, lust with them, the men are extremely sexy

I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.

This was a fast paced, quick read that I enjoyed. Josh and Rachel definitely had their issues to deal with and a lot standing in their way, but love always wins in the end. It was fun seeing them work through their situations and finally get to their HEA. I was happy with where things went with them, and I'm looking forward to reading more books in the series.

I have enjoyed all the books in this series...and love where this one went. This is the first time the story started with a human and shifter and the Lightbringers almost did not factor into this one at all. Even thought I loved Rachel and Josh's story I did miss some of the influence that the Lightbringers brought to the previous ones in the series. I am looking forward to the next book in the series and can't wait to see where Ms. Lund goes from here with the series.

I LOVE the Lightbearer series and I was a little disappointed at first when I found that this books main characters would not be lightbearers, but as always Tami Lund did an outstanding job and I have added another of her books to my lists of favorites. I loved Josh and Rachel's love story and I cannot wait to see more from the Light bearer series.
