Don't Tempt Fate

The Cloverleah Pack, Book 11

De: Lisa Oliver

Narrado por: John York

Book 11 of the Cloverleah Pack series.

Pack enforcer Marius Reef has a lot on his mind. Life in Cloverleah has been quiet for months, giving him too much time to think. He still suffers nightmares from his father's abuse decades ago and now his brothers are mated, he is struggling to find and keep his place in the pack.

Determined to be useful, his waking hours are spent patrolling the pack's territory, but at night, his dreams are haunted by a hunky blond so perfect, he couldn't exist in real life.

As the battle lord for his people, Cathair is used to being sent from the elven realm to dispel injustices found on many realms, including Earth. Guided by the Seers, he's never questioned his assignments before. But when his father, the High Elder, insists he must take a message to a tiny pack in the middle of nowhere and actually stay with them, he puts up a token protest. His place was on the elven realm, wasn't it?

Prophecies, kidnappings, and the evil that stalks Cloverleah is getting closer, and all will be affected. Plagued with troubles and misunderstandings on both realms, Marius and Cathair must forge a bond, or the whole pack could be lost. But when trouble comes from one of their own, the two men reach a crossroads. Will they choose the right path or will the fate of the Cloverleah pack be doomed?

This is an M/M story that includes some violence, references to past abuse, and a scene of attempted rape (not between MCs). Like all of my books, it has an HEA, no cheating, and no cliff-hanger. However, the epilogue sets the scene for the next book in the series.

This book is part of a series, and while this story is based on one couple and is complete in itself, to appreciate the overarching story line and the stories behind the secondary characters, listening to the previous books in order is advised.

I didn't know elves were from New Jersey.

I just can't get over how bad this narrator is. He has screwed up voices before but this takes the cake. The elves sound ridiculous. The narration ruins the story.

Bad Narration... Audiobook only review

This is the second time I have listened to this whole series, the story is good but the narration really takes away from the stories (I forgot how bad the narration was and listened anyway). The mispronunciation is rampant, almost every paragraph has an error, either just plain pronunciation problems or completely placing wrong emphasis on the syllables of a word. My eyes were rolling so much during this book that I decided to skip several cringeworthy chapters. Each book has the same issues, the problems not improving but getting worse. The voice/accent for each character is problematic throughout the series with this being the worse. I wholeheartedly agree with another reviewer who said, I didn't realize Elves were from New Jersey. If you are listening to the complete series, just "eye read" this one, skip the audiobook and save a credit.
