Triple Trouble 3: Three Dog Night
Elain is still new to the business of being a mate to a shapeshifter, but she has it even harder than most, because she is the mate to alpha triplet shapeshifters. She has a lot to learn, and it is all overwhelming. Not only does she have a lot to learn about being the mate of shape shifters, but she also has to keep it from her mom that while she is only legally marrying Ain, she is mated to shapeshifter triplets.

Even more trouble is piled on Elain's shoulders when her need for a hunt comes back, stronger than ever; and she has spotted a strange man in town who makes her nervous for some unknown reason.

Ain and Cail have uncovered some mysterious information on Elain's background, and they are beginning to worry that she may be more than any of them ever realized. That suspicion is proven further when she and Brodey participate in a hunt together. They are more worried than ever when someone begins killing shifter mates in their clan.

This third book is the best book yet. It is always a pleasure to get to come back to characters with whom you have fallen in love and see them moving on in their lives. There is an element of suspense in this book that suggests that Elain could be in mortal danger. The answers to her unknown background are hinted at throughout the book, keeping me on the edge of my seat and guessing at the truth.

When I tie in those little pieces of information with what was going on with Elain, I am led to believe that all may not be well for her and her mates in the next book. The ending left me groaning in agony, because it confirmed some of my suspicions, and is leaving me hanging until the next book comes out.

I do have to mention that there is a questionable scene in the book, involving Micah and Jim. Micah is a cousin to the triplets, an alpha shifter, and he has found his One. I really don't want to give away too much, but just know that some may perceive the scene as a form of rape. Tymber Dalton did a great job with the scene, making sure that we are given the viewpoint of the shapeshifters and their customs. I had no problem with the scene because it was written so well, as was the explanation that was given to Elain.

I do recommend that the books in this series be read in order and together, as reading them out of order or as standalone titles would take away from the overall plot.
