Phury and Cormia

Things really hit the fan in this one! 1st, John Matthew, Quinn & Blay get in it up to their eyeballs & become permanent residents. Phury falls hard & I mean head first into a bottomless pit! But luckily soft hand reachs to save him when all others turn their backs and walk away. Meanwhile back in town, a new Prince of evil rears him head & it's not surprising how it is. This book is real nail biter & the amazing end had me in tears! Whether or not they were sad or happy you'll have to find out for yourself.

Love it

Would you listen to Lover Enshrined again? Why?

Yes. Great story but twisted in a way, keeps you on the edge of every chapter

What did you like best about this story?

How it's not from one person perspective.

Which character – as performed by Jim Frangione – was your favorite?

All, he changes his voice just slightly when he's talking for different characters. He does a great job.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I laughed and cried, I noticed that if the character was upset and emotional that I was too.

redhat queen

Great story. The brotherhood in this story is just fantastic. I love how each of the characters are finding their true love. Each story gets me so emotional I have never cried so much as I have read this story.

chaotic and overdrawn

Lover Enshrined was not my favorite book of the series. I would have thought Phury, to be a more honorable man. For somebody who has been celibate for 200 years I would have assumed him to have, a stronger resolve and more character.

At a times it's as if he's whining about his life, and his love interest is so interesting, that it makes you wonder why anybody would want to bed her. then after 500 and some pages when it seems that they are finally going to get together, another obstacle comes up. Be it a misunderstanding or a sense of wrongness or some strange sense of duty that they push each other away. After nearly 600 pages I wanted to scream "Come On Already!".

The book itself was long, drawn-out and at times boring. There were so many things happening, so many storylines going on, and setting up for future novels, that it was kind of hard to remember whose love story we were talking about.

I didn't hate the book, but there were times when I was fast forwarding, in order to get to something more interesting.

Enjoyable

So far, this is my least favorite of all the books. It is enjoyable and the story line holds details necessary for the future.

Love Love Love

If you could sum up Lover Enshrined in three words, what would they be?

Dark, Soul Searching, Hauntingly Fantastic

Who was your favorite character and why?

Phury was a great male lead. His whole journey is so sad and seems like the whole world is against him. Too many times I wanted to reach out and hug him

What about Jim Frangione’s performance did you like?

The performance was great, engaging and soothing.

Any additional comments?

I hated that Phury''s journey was so raw and depressing but he came out on the other side a better man and that is the mark of a true hero. I loved it
