The fight continues in the Wildlands. Facing extinction, the Pantera have been given a miracle. A child. The first one in over fifty years. But even as they prepare to celebrate, the enemy strikes, putting at risk the fragile female who carries the hope of their people.

BAYON

Charming, drop-dead gorgeous Hunter Bayon is thirsting for revenge on the enemies who slipped into the Wildlands and attacked Ashe and her vulnerable child. Pledging to track down the cowards, Bayon goes on the hunt, pursuing the humans to a nearby town. But searching their shabby hideaway, he makes a discovery that shocks him to his very soul and might very well destroy the heart of the Pantera.

JEAN-BAPTISTE

Tattooed and pierced, sexy Nurturer Jean-Baptiste has been living in utter isolation. His cat is out of control, and the only thing that soothes the beast is a rare mineral he keeps inking into his skin. Until he meets her: Genevieve Burel. The beautiful and buttoned-up female puma is unlike anyone he's ever met. She makes his cat purr, and he knows he must possess her, mate with her. But the secret she's keeping might threaten not only their unbridled passion for one another, but the very future of the Pantera race.

The second book is better with more action and expansion of the story line. But I still wish they were full length books because the characters could use more depth than you can get in a novella.
The narration is still so poor with no sense of rhythm, no real ability to emote for the characters. The narrator is boring and really harms the story and makes it harder to enjoy what there is of the plot.

the second time is better

Would you say that listening to this book was time well-spent? Why or why not?

I don't regret the purchase. It's a good storyline that is unique but it needs more meat to be a top series. So much more could be done with these books if each hero had his own book. I love both of these authors and they do a great job. I think the stories just went way to fast.

What didn’t you like about Pyper Down’s performance?

Inflections were off. Too many dramatic pauses in places it didn't need it. Almost to the point of adding an extra 3 or 4 periods in one sentence. Some places she did good but in those it was almost like she tried too hard.

What would have made this romance irresistible?

These stories have the potential to be great books but they are too short. It's two novella's crammed together and the story line went to fast. I wanted more from the story.

Any additional comments?

Great story but books were too short and the narrator was so-so. I don't regret them but doubt I'll listen to them again.

Ok but could be better

I really like this audiobook series. Because each story is only 2-3 hours long it's easy to finish a story in one sitting. It's also slightly different from other supernatural books in that their race, the Pantera are only able (generally) to shift in another realm (the Wildlands) which borders the human worlds swamps. So they both are and aren't a part of the human world, able to blend in more easily as their panther counterparts aren't as strong outside the Wildlands. In my opinion the performance was pretty good. While I felt that the general narration could have been better in some parts, the difference in male and female voices were easy to distinguish which can be a problem with some narrators. The only thing is they are missing some of the novellas in the series! I wish they would make the rest audiobooks too because you end up missing some important events/characters. While listening it is easy to tell when you missed something if you go to play the next audiobook and the novella doesn't exist in audiobook format.

A Great Novella but Incomplete Series

The Narrator is okay, could use a better one with a deeper male voice.
The storyline is good and the love is strong. I think these stories would be better if each book were around the 5 hour mark and not 2.5 hours each story.

Good, but could be great.
