I've finished "Dying Wish" the 6th book in her Sentinel Wars series by Shannon K. Butcher.
Product Description
Jackie Patton has been rescued by the Theronai from her captivity and torture at the hands of the Synestryn, only to learn that she's a potential match for the Theronai warriors who need a woman to literally save their lives.
Forced to choose, she unexpectedly selects Iain, a cold-hearted warrior who doesn't want to be saved. Iain is convinced that it's too late - that his soul is already as dead as his former betrothed, killed by the Synestryn. Still, he is the only one she wants. But is Iain indeed beyond saving?
About the Author
After spending too many years as an industrial engineer, Shannon learned to write from her husband, bestselling author Jim Butcher. She learned writing craft in order to help him with his stories, but found the idea of writing her own too compelling to resist. She lives in Missouri with her husband and son, where conversations at the dinner table are more often about things someone made up than about anything that’s actually happened. Feel free to contact Shannon via her website.

My Review:
Jackie Patton just wants to go back to living a normal life after being rescued from a two-year horrifying and cruel captivity Synestryn by the Theronai. We found out in Blood Hunt she is Helen Day's sister by blood and she is able to bond with any Theronai warrior. A whole bunch of male warriors are willing to mate with her but she is scarred from her captivity and torture and they will be no way she can fake being happy with any of them.
She is forced to pick one Theronai so everyone is shocked she picks cold hearted Iain Terra who makes her feel safe. He coldly rejects her because he's the leader of a group of Theronai's who have lost their souls called The Band of the Barren. He has successfully hidden their predicament from their leader to prevent their death sentence. He really wants Jackie but with his soul intact so he can live a long-term comfortable and happy life.
They both team up to save a recently rescued child from being kidnapped again to find more Synestryn lairs to invade and destroy. Of course this brings them closer in proximity and to get to know each other more.
This book was very fast paced with non-stop action with two scarred individuals who learn to deal with their ordeals by finding love and trusting each other. We also learn a big secret about Jackie - but you will have to read to find out!
I really enjoyed how Jackie was able to tame Iain's monster Stan (the name she gave him) and I thought he wasn't too harsh with Jackie.
Now I'm eagerly awaiting Cain and Nicholas books!
