About this listen

Proud. Imperious. Impassioned. Until three years ago, those words applied to Dominic Asher, the leader of Ash Valley. His family has ruled the feline branch of the Animari for hundreds of years, guiding the pride through perilous times. Unspeakable loss drove him into seclusion, a feral beast nobody can tame. Now he's wrecked, a leopard king in exile, and he wants nothing more than to die.

Fierce. Loyal. Determined. Fortunately for Dom, those words still apply to Pru Bristow, his dead mate's best friend. She's had her heart broken, too, but she never quits. With the conclave approaching, alliances with the Pine Ridge pack and Burnt Amber clans on the verge of collapse, she's prepared to do whatever it takes to drag their leader back, before his second can start a war.

At best theirs seems like a desperate alliance, but when their mate bond turns hot and fierce, there's no end to the questions and the doubts. Neither of them expects to fall in love. But sometimes people don't know what they're looking for until they find it.

I’ve not listened to this authors works before and I must say I enjoyed her story , the trials, misunderstandings, the quest for liberation and love.
The narrator did a wonderful job bringing the story to life.
I enjoyed the characters the angst snd misunderstandings and the steamy aspects of the story
Well done.

Unexpected Love

This is a true mate story featuring Dominic Asher and Pru Bristol. She forms an alliance with him for the good of the pack but things turn out vastly different than either could possibly anticipate. The story is interest enough although sometimes it seems a little superficial, sometimes it comes across like a collection of thoughts thrown together and a little disjointed due to it. I still enjoyed it enough to listen to the entire book and will consider the rest.

Interesting Story

This is a well thought out start to a six book series, with each book about a different couple.
The is lots of sex (easy to skip, as it always is at the end of a chapter), but a surprisingly strong storyline too. I like that the characters are far from perfect, having flaws and insecurities, without dipping too much into the angst side of drama. A little more humour would help lift the book, but overall, it was very well done.
The narrator did an excellent job.

Romance, with a plot

Great story

This is another sole mates finding each other type story, it has a good story and builds characters well it sets the scene for the future story and characters well. Set in a fantasy world of shifters and demons with lots of hot sex and romance.

Hot Romance

I liked the world the author created. It's imaginative and well constructed. But sadly, for me, the story felt too formulaic and the sex scenes felt gratuitous for the most part. Sorry, but the story only gets three stars from me.

Creative world building
