Read this one

I listen to audiobooks on my commute and while I’m doing chores. Paranormal romance is my favorite genre.

I was so excited to start this audiobook after listening to the first in the series. Unfortunately, I can’t get through this one listening and will finish reading it. While the narrator has some decent female and male voices, the main voice is so meek/weak it’s incredibly hard to listen to.

Tender Hero!

I really enjoy the Roxie Ray stories! I found Axel such a dreamy and sweet character. Loved his complete devotion to his fated mate. Of course you can't have romance without drama and mess, and Roxie Ray did it well, I thought. I laughed so hard at the scene where Charlotte learns Axel is a dragon. I could totally see it in my mind, and I loved it. I think Melanie Hastings did a great job with all the character differentiation. Her men were masculine without seeming forced. Her women were feminine and reflective of their characters. Yes. Charlotte is a bit needy and flawed. I thought Hastings captured that well. The books in this series have different narrators. Usually that's not great, as a listener. But in the case of this series, I do think it works just fine. Keep them coming, Roxie!

Sexy Beta Dragon's Story

The next Black Claw Dragons book focuses on the eldest of the Kingston brothers and the Beta of the clan. Axel has struggled most of his adult life with being the eldest, but not the Alpha of the clan - his life has been mostly determined by what his younger brother and Alpha wants and needs. But when Charlotte (best friend of Ava) drives up to his home beaten up by her boyfriend, he realizes that he has finally found the missing piece - his mate. Charlotte is terrified, not just of the latest loser that she was dating, but that she will keep making mistakes with men that will someday land her in bigger trouble than the beating Logan gave her. As Charlotte tries to heal, Axel tries to give her space, but their feelings and lust keep throwing them together - not to mention the fear of Charlotte's missing abusive boyfriend, who is looking for revenge.

I love the Kingston family and the Black Claw series! This Clan of Dragons are such dynamic characters, each story as different as the couples in them. Roxie Ray has written another can't put down shifter romance!! I will say that while Melanie Hastings does an overall good job with the reading and voices, she has a breathy voice that I find a bit off-putting. I loved the book and having a different narrator for the different couple was nice, but by the end, I was a little overwhelmed by her trying to be sexy voice. #AudiobookObsessionReviewer

One look and Axel knows she's meant to be his. But with the threat of her ex can Axel keep her safe? How will Charlotte take the new that axel is a dragon? Will there be a HEA?

Good book

Worth the credit. It took a little bit to get used to the voices used for the characters but once I did it was fine. I laughed a lot at this and then nearly feared a time or two. Good book. Can’t wait to listen to the next one.

Great paranormal romance

This author and series continues to impress me! The story primarily picks up where we left off with book one, with an appreciated glimpse back to fill in the details as to why Charlotte found her way to the Kingston’s home. Axel recognizes his fated mate immediately, but realizes that Charlotte has been through a traumatic experience and learning about dragon shifters and fated mates may just be too much for her, allowing her the space she needs. Charlotte on the other hand, very much attracted to Axel, knows that a new relationship is not what she needs after the raw hand she’d been dealt. What I love about this author’s storytelling is that the romance isn’t rushed. She blends real life situations into a fantasy world, and the characters are extremely down-to-earth making it feel all that more genuine, even if we are talking about dragons! Axel was every bit the protector of Charlotte, but he was also so thoughtful and sweet… handling her physically and emotionally with the upmost care and respect. Charlotte had a very flirty and feminine personality, and even though she was the damsel in distress, she reciprocated the hospitality of her friends and regained her courage and footing quite quickly when it came to meeting Asher. Her reaction was quite comical! This was my first listen by narrator, Melanie Hastings. I really enjoyed her male voices, but it took a few chapters for her female voices to grow on me, especially Charlotte’s. The performance was very well done though, and I could distinguish between characters which is always a plus with dialogue.

Greta Series

I love how the author ties in the first book to the second without having to have read the first book it is easy to read this one. The narrator on this one was a little harder to listen to in a continuous setting I had to have more frequent brakes. However since it is a new lead character in this one it made sense to use a different narrator. #AudioBoookObsession #PinkFlamingoProductions

Hotness!

Wow, this romance novel is on fire! I loved the realness of the characters, and the plot was well formulated. It was light reading but erotic. Those "scenes" had me panting for more. I can't wait to read the next book in the series. I would definitely recommend this book to anyone looking for a real story with some hot action.

oh my

I really struggled to finish this book. The reason for the 2 stars for story is I ABSOLUTELY hated the narration. I just could not get into the story because of the person doing the narration.

I will not listen to anything else read by Melanie Hastings if that sugary sweet, little girl voice is all she has. I just can't! Definitely NOT worth it!

Was really disappointed because of this.

The story bored me

The sex scenarios were crudely written and made me cringe. Not what I hoped for in a book meant as a fun escape into fantasy. I had enjoyed book one in the series and was sadly disappointed.
