Freebies! Haven't read this author yet but T.S. Joyce gets consistently good ratings. Looks like a lot of shifter romances. I've been noticing a couple hers popping up as free over the past couple weeks.

How It's Meant to Be (Oath of Bain #3)
Spoiler:
Moore is the only one of the Bane brothers who is upholding a blood oath they made years ago. It has left him at a disadvantage. Without the bond from his mate, his brothers are too powerful to destroy. He has a plan, but it will come with big consequences. A mate chosen at random in town should give him a bond that will make him powerful enough to go to war with his brothers, but the more he gets to know the stranger he’s picked, the more he thinks she is more trouble than she’s worth. Stage five clinger, human, fragile, emotional, and much too pretty for her own good. This isn’t what he’s signed up for, but the more he gets to know her, the more his old life seems very far away. She’s teaching him a lot about patience, and making him question everything he’s been trained to do. She was supposed to be a tool to start a war, but she’s teaching him the value of peace, little by little. Too bad peace isn’t an option for a monster like him. He is a legend in the making, and nothing, not even Aurora, can stop what he has to do.
Aurora Shelton is done with men. For the next three months, the only plans she has are to grow her business and ignore all boys. It’s self-care time. But one chance encounter with a growly man in town has her thinking she should just go on one tiny date with him, as a temporary farewell to dating. With Moore, she’s stepped into something so much deeper than she could’ve ever imagined. His life is covered in secrets and shadows, and with the reveal of each one, she is realizing she’s in way over her head. The man in him has her hooked, but the bear inside of him is a different beast altogether. There’s a war brewing, and she might be the only one who can stop Moore from fulfilling his dark destiny. Or can she?
Three brothers, three monsters, three oaths, one destiny.
Their greatest power lies within the women they claim.
Their love will conquer all…or destroy all…
Nothing is as it seems with the Oath of Bane.
How It Is (Oath of Bain #4)
Spoiler:
The king is dying. Krome has been the leader of the Crow Blooded for years, but his reign is over if he can’t find a way to heal his wings after a war with the Bane brothers. He’s stuck in the in-between, not quite a crow, not quite a man, and unable to choose a form. When his crows break the rules and abduct a human woman they swear can fix him, he thinks they’ve lost their minds. She’s smart and beautiful, and she has his attention in an unsettling way. Her secrets for wanting to help him might just annihilate his defenses altogether, and on the verge of war, he can’t afford to go soft. The woman who is saving him could also be the broken king’s undoing.
Cora Peterson is just a regular girl working a unique job. She’s drawn to birds, and crows in particular because of her long history with them. On the day she discovers crow shifters exist, there is no time for shock. The man she’s thrown in with is dying, and she’s the only one who can help. And his Crow Blooded people have made her a promise. If Krome lives, she lives, too. What starts as a project for survival turns personal when Krome shows her surprising respect and care. All of the pieces of her past seem to be coming together, but there is danger in bonding to a man at the top of the food chain. If she lets him slip, she becomes the target in a war that the humans don’t even know about…and eventually, she will have to choose between his life, or hers.
The Oath of Bane was just the beginning.
It’s the crows’ war now.
How It Was (Oath of Bain #6)
Spoiler:
Nuke’s new Crew has no idea what he is, or the level of destruction he can cause. He’s here for his own reasons, pledging fealty to a group of half-crazed, dominant shifters in hopes of gaining control of his life. But when a mousey, submissive human knocks on his door during move-in day, he starts to second guess his destiny. She doesn’t belong around a monster like him, but she has moments of strength, and a pile of secrets that have his inner animal a little too interested. The more he finds out about her, the more he wants to protect her, but she’s here on a mission of her own, and that mission could expose the entire Crew. He’s already been to war once with them, but this feels bigger. If Trina doesn’t stop tugging at his instincts, the whole world could burn.
Trina Hogue needs help. She’s stopped right in the middle of the Battleborn Crew to visit an old friend named Ren. But when she finds Ren, she’s surrounded by a small army of misfit shifters who are having trouble containing their inner animals. Her submissive personality won’t get her very far in this trailer park of beasts, so she has to adapt or perish if she wants Ren’s help. One night at the trailer park, and it’s clear she’s stumbled onto an ancient shifter who poses a threat to the world as she knows it. She should be terrified of Nuke, but with each passing minute, she starts to think he isn’t a monster at all. Maybe everyone else is.
Haunted by a past that will put the entire Battleborn Crew in danger before they’re even established, Trina must figure out whether to stay and lose herself, or leave and lose everything else.
