Publisher's summary

The legend of the Paka Watu...

Abby Lane can’t resist the allure of a cat shifter tribe forced to repress their beasts. Research has led her to a coveted piece of information. The location of a man who could prove everything she’s been searching for.

The sleeping lion...

Utah Pearce can't keep his gaze off the woman who slips into the bar every night. Though not his usual type, she brings out the possessive instinct in him, making him battle with himself as he tries to stay away.

Mine...

Abby’s research never prepared her for the reality in front of her. The beast is waking, and Utah is changing in ways both exciting and terrifying. He is possessive and dominant, and when he finally claims her, neither of them will ever be the same.

Tah

It was so refreshing to go back to the beginning of this series. It’s been awhile. I love how Abby found her lion. Mine.

Fated mates -- with a twist!

This was an interesting twist on the normal fated mates shifter story and I quite liked it. The introductory journal quotes at the beginning of each chapter confused me for a bit, but I think that's just the challenge of listening to a book instead of reading using my eyes.

Narration was clear and easy to follow. Definitely the narrator's young voice was applicable to the FMC and highlighted her youth and inexperience.

New to me author and narrator. Would definitely look for more work by both of them.

Fated mates

This was an interesting take on the fated mates trope. Anastasia Lynne did a wonderful job. Her voice was clear and concise. I received this audiobook for free upon my request. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review.

Good book good audio

Jess and Utah story. Utah doesn’t know that he has a link dormant inside of him until Jess life is threatened by her crazies uncle. Once his beast is slowly awakens, he’s unable to keep his hands off Jess. When her crazed uncle finds them and once again threaten to hurt Jess, Utah will shift and protect his mate.
Steamy, full of danger and wonder, tone of good characters, and happy- ever- mated.
The narrator does a super job with the narration. Both the story and the narrator captured me as I listened to the really good book.

Paranormal Shifter Romance with a Special Unique Twist

Waking the Beast is an original and very unique paranormal shifter romance I have never heard or read anything like it. I loved the details that the author included within the story it made everything make more since. The story is steamy, dramatic, entertaining, and full of action from the very first chapter. I can't wait to hear more about Abby and Tah and their future adventures in the Awakening Pride. I received this book for free upon my request. I highly recommend this book to anyone who is at least 18 and loves a good steamy paranormal romance with a unique twist. I am voluntarily leaving my honest and unbiased review here of my own volition.
