Ha’ven’s Song

Curizan Warrior, Book 1

De: S. E. Smith

Narrado por: P. J. Ochlan

Ha'ven Ha'darra is the Crown Prince of the Curizans, an advanced species known for their technology. They may not have the power to shift like the Valdier or the Sarafin, but they have hidden powers of their own that they closely guard. Not even his best friends, Creon Reykill of the Valdier or Vox d'Rojah of the Sarafin, are aware of the powers he holds within his deadly frame.

Ha'ven is happy to help out his Valdier friend when he calls. There are only two things that satisfy the restlessness inside him - a good fight and an even better evening with a hot, willing female. He has no desire to settle down like his two friends have. He enjoys having his freedom and the wide sample of females at his disposal.

All of that changes when he catches a glimpse of the delicate beauty who looks through him as if he doesn't even exist. His blood calls to her, his magic aches to meld with hers, but she blocks his every advance.

Emma Watson's life was perfect. Her love for music and dance let her escape the overwhelming shyness that she suffered from all her life. When she is invited to travel with a group to South America, she believes it is the perfect chance to discover who she can really be. Everything changes when she is kidnapped by a powerful drug lord. Beaten and forced to watch the torture and murder of other women, she withdraws into the world she feels safest - the one inside herself.

When she is rescued by creatures not of this world, they heal her physical wounds, but cannot touch the ones deep inside her. She has given up on ever returning to her world and has little hope for the future. No woman has ever turned Ha'ven Ha'darra down and he isn't about to accept his mate doing it. Now, he just has a few extra problems to overcome. Her Valdier protectors have given him six months to change her mind about wanting to return to them. Can he unlock her magic in time to save their love or will the traitor, determined to kill them, destroy her before he can?

I love S.E. Smith

I have read a lot of her books and love all the series, but I am finding it so hard to get past this narrator. They couldn't get the other guy that read for all the other series. This one is okay but sounds a little robotic, making it hard to focus on the story.

excellent

I really enjoyed this story. Everything fell into place. Hero really cherished heroine and treated her admirably and with love.

didnt really like the females voices

I like this story but it was hard to listen to because to the females

not loving the narrator

I devoured the Dragons Calder series narrated by David Brenin who is great by the way, so I was impressed with the new narrator. But I did enjoy the story. I am planning on starting another of her alien series. Hopefully it will be as interesting as the Valder, Sarafin and Curazon. Crossing my fingers that Valder books 10 & 11 get audio version soon.

Good story bad narrator

I really enjoyed the story of Ha'ven and Emma.

Unfortunately, the narrator was not up to par. A lot of the voices were too flat not much intonation or variance between characters. Some parts were better than others. But on the whole the book would have been better with someone else. I am surprised they did not have the narrator from the Valdier books do this one.

Different narrators mean different pronunciations

Although, P.J. Ochlan did an awesome job, I still missed David Brenin. Great story tho!!

Narrator Ruined it for me

I enjoy all of S.E. Smith's books but I couldn't get past the narrator. This one felt completely different and I think it was the narrator that changed the entire feel of the story for me. Sorry, not a fan of this narrator and it interfered with the story.

The first curizan prince finds his mate

Read this SES story after the Dragon Lords series & Choosing Riley, the first of the Sarafin princes. They're all linked together with shared characters & story lines. Ochlan was ok, but would have loved consistency of David Brenin.

Couldn't stop listening

could not stop listening to these books. Need the new ones in the stories to hurry and be ready to read

lovely and exciting

Made my heart flutter and dance. Romantic and action filled. Keeps your attention. Well written.
