Publisher's summary

Nathan never should have gotten in that truck. That he knew for sure, but something animalistic, something sexy, something almost magnetic drew him to the mysterious brooding man who beckoned for him to get in and so he did.

What ensues is a night Nathan will never forget, filled with intrigue, passion and mind-blowing dominant sex only an alpha werewolf shifter can give you; a night Nathan soon finds he was destined to experience. But could it lead to true love or will Nathan be tossed aside like he has by so many men before him?

Must hear at 1.35 speed i

In order to get to the end must hear at 1.35 speed if not then is annoying voice, the story was to week, stuff that didn't make sence but OK, the the end was to abrupt

Quite Engaging!

This was reasonably engaging. Each book ends on a cliffhanger, so it makes sense to get the box set before you dive in.

You will want the box set.

This book is different than most and it's well written. You will want the box set. Each novella ends in a cliffhanger. The boxset has the whole story. It is also well narrated.

needs a trigger warning

Would I listen to it again: maybe
Did the story keep me engaged: reasonably
Was I invested in the characters: not really - but given it's written as a series of shorts, there wasn't really a lot of character development to work with.
Story comment? entertaining enough providing you're NOT looking for a typical "feel good" shifter story - it's somewhat dark.
Should have a trigger warning - there are elements of this collection containing "non consensual sex: forced couplings, the threat of gang rape and brutality".

I'm a bit on the fence with the narration. There are differences in the characters voices and the rhythm and intonations are OK and work to bring life to the characters, but there's a gravelly undertone in the narrators voice that didn't really work for me and by the last book the narration felt really inconsistent to book one (sorry! - consistency is really important for me ).

<I received this book from Audiobooks Unleashed in exchange for my unbiased review.>

Do what?

Wow, this one was a struggle. I finished simply because I can't help not to once I've started. It's certainly not because it was good. Jamie Lake seems to have an interesting writing style. The characters seem to always have to choose between good and decent and abusive and hateful. I can't see in any reality where anyone would even attempt to choose a rapist. What in the heck?!

Loved it

Amazing book, loved it from beginning to the end, fantastic audio delivery, kept my attention all through the book.

Nice story, Terrible Performance

The performer has no clue on how to narrate this story. The meter and timbre suck

To bad so sad

Omg James Talbot is the lamest narrator i'v ever heard! A lot of the story got lost in the bad narration.

DNF...

I'm glad I only borrowed this book because the narration drove me crazy enough to stop listening before the first chapter finished. The voice quiver mad all the characters seem old...not for me.

I'll try and read the books later and maybe be able to update my review.

would not recommend

seems rushed and poorly written. never goes back to talk about the fact that he was raped with a beer bottle in front of the pack. justifies it as a "Rocky start" to their relationship.
