Synopsis (Goodreads):
Who does the grumbly, grouchy bear shifter get paired up with? The cheeriest shifter EVER. Callum's a brooding thundercloud and Joss is his ray of sunshine and it's PERFECT. To be fair, though, Callum isn't all doom and gloom. He's more concerned and out of his element than anything. Plus, he has that whole scowling thing going for him and he REALLY doesn't know how to talk to people. On the other hand, Joss isn't nearly the cheerful butterfly people think she is. She has issues. She just buries them under a smile and a relentlessly perky personality and nobody looks deep enough to see how much she's hurting.
Until Callum, that is. He sees her just as clearly as she sees him. He's just...torn. Between who he was and who he could be if he chose to let go of the past. Joss sees that, too. So she does her level best to be the friend he needs when he needs it. That works to an extent, but the more time these two spend together, the harder they find it to stay away from one another. (And, MAN, do these two spark off one another.)
On the non-relationshippy front, the war has come to the bears, the Gols are led by a man no one wants to fall to, and the failing of the protocols means there's no guarantee any of the others will come if they need them. That said, several loose ends from previous books were tied up here. We got some answers and we got to see a few familiar faces. The war isn't over, but things are starting to look up for those who stand against tyrannical oppression. *rubs hands together* Let's see how it all turns out.

Synopsis (Goodreads):
Dour. Dutiful. Dogged.Thoughts on The War Priest: Grumbly, grouchy bear-shifters are SO FUN. Sure, they're a little rough around the edges and often have no idea how to approach people and sometimes cause problems just because they have resting scowl face, but BOY do I like watching them stumble through interpersonal relationships.
Personal tragedy drove Callum McRae to join the Order of Saint Casimir fifteen years ago; now he’s in charge of a hold he hasn’t lived in for years. Supplies are scarce, he has no knack for dealing with people, and the Gols are at the gates. To make matters worse, he’s also battling an attraction so powerful and forbidden that it imperils his very soul…
Canny. Cheerful. Charming.
Joss Bristow seems bright and cheerful, but she’s hiding a well of sorrow that fuels her music. She’s also prone to leaping before she looks, exactly how she ends up besieged at Burnt Amber. Though she wanted to get to know Callum better, she never imagined that falling for him could cost her life.
He’s the dark of night, and she’s the sun that shines just for him. Two wounded souls have never needed each other more, but between his holy vows and the devastation of war, the odds are stacked against them…
