Blurb: Skylar Foxx has been on his own for years, ever since he had been kicked out of his home just shy of turning sixteen. He worked the streets for food and warmth, certain that one day his life would take a better path. That day arrived in the form of a flyer smacking him in the face after enduring a particularly rough trick. Walking through the front door of the Pride safe house became the best decision Skylar ever made. He began a new life with help from billionaire businessman Caden Fournier, his husband, Kellan, and their outreach center associates. That life also included a handsome, six-foot-two Italian who looked mighty fine astride a Harley. After a tense introduction, Skylar discovered Justice Salvatore was unlike any man he’d ever met. He’s about to find out just how different Justice is. The two grow closer as Skylar struggles with his own weird… ability. Just when he dares to dream of a happy ending, his past explodes into his present and threatens to destroy everything.
Justice Salvatore has only been in love once, with the beautiful daughter of his werewolf pack’s beta. She was human, however, and Justice stayed away to protect her — only to mourn her death from a rogue attack. Skylar Foxx is stunning, but Justice is swept away by his incredible voice. Smitten on the spot, he sets his sights on getting to know the skittish young man. Bad things are happening to Skylar as they grow close, and Justice will do everything in his power to protect him. A terrifying secret shakes Justice to his core, and he is forced to decide whether someone close to him will live or die. After the hell Skylar has been through, Justice makes the only choice.
There will be justice for Skylar.

Review: Justice for Skylar is the first book in a new companion series to the Assassin/Shifter series we have come to know and love by this bestselling author. Over the last several books in the A/S series, we’ve gotten to know the young group of misfits that have taken solace within the Pride safe house that is run by several of our shifters and humans, particularly Caden and Kellan. Caden considers all of them to be like his children. He dotes on them and protects them. So when Petey and the rogues come after his boys, it gets real ugly real quick!
Skylar Fox had been on his own since he was 16. Working tricks on the streets just to put food in his mouth. All of that changed the day he walked into the Pride safe house. Now he’s finishing school, living in a house with his friends under the protection of Caden and the rest of the guys, and being courted by the sexiest Italian shifter on the planet. At first Skylar cannot believe that Justice Salvatore would want him, truly want to be with him and love him. He has come to think of himself as worthless and unlovable because of the bad things he had to do to survive when he lived on the streets. But Justice is bound and determined to prove to Skylar that he can and does love him, unconditionally.
Justice only ever loved one other person, a human girl, the daughter of his father’s beta. A rogue attack left her dead and Justice broken, he hadn’t been able to protect her. He will be damned if he won’t protect Skylar! As the story unfolds, we learn even more about Skylar and his friends like Elijah and Stone. But we also learn more about the shifters, especially the Salvatore’s and why the rogues want them all so badly. Skylar and his friends all have certain abilities that Justice and the other’s have begun noticing as of late. And as Justice and Skylar are learning about each other, building a strong foundation for a lasting relationship, they are also learning more about Skylar’s ability. Everything comes to a heated conclusion when someone from Justice’s past threatens not only his future with Skylar, but Skylar’s life. Someone is going to die. The question is who?
At 22 books into the Assassin/Shifter series, Gasq-Dion has come up with a nice twist to breathe new life into these stories. Over the years, we’ve fallen in love with all of these characters, families, shifters, and assassins. We’ve had mates that had to grow up to be together, psychotic FBI agents falling in love with the head of the Russian Mob, adorable wolves that were born mated and so many more plot lines it would take me all day to write about them. Now we have the introduction of ‘The 12 Olympians’ starting with Skylar. The gods have sent these young adults to assist James, Wayne, and their groups in the battle that is to come. Even the powers of the shifters as well as their animals have evolved as of late. I love that the author is constantly evolving as well with new stories, couples and struggles throughout this series.
The A/S series is my favorite M/M series. The writing is always detailed, complex, and intriguing, as are the stories and characters. There is a lot going on within the series as a whole and then within each book as well. If you’re a fan of action, suspense, drama, shifters, hot sweaty sexy naked men whose mission in life is to love their partner completely (and don’t mind displaying said love for us to enjoy and usually on the X rated level!) then this is a must read series for you!
Up next is ‘At Year’s End’ I believe, and it cannot release soon enough.
