Publisher's summary

Devon Brady is a devoted veterinarian working in a makeshift hospital at an island search and rescue site. When Jude Marrok arrives with his wounded black lab Ned, she has no idea that she is about to be plunged into a whirlwind of terror, destruction, and unstoppable passion.

The last thing Devon needs is to be drawn into Marrok's high-stakes game. And while she feels increasingly drawn to him and his extraordinary dog, she doesn't trust him. Then the bullets start flying and she has nowhere else to run. The body counts gets higher while a mortal mystery swirls around a pack of gifted canines called the "Dogs of Summer."

Is Jude her salvation or her damnation? Are the secrets he's protecting worth killing...or dying for? With lighting-fast pace, unforgettable characters, gut-wrenching action, and sizzling sensuality, Dark Summer is compelling new terrain for this master storyteller.

good story but narration could be better

the narrator did good job with using different tones for different people but she just seemed hard when she spoke. hard to explain but I almost couldn't finished the book because of it.
the story was good tho. needed to finish it to find out the ending.

Enjoyable escape through the spoken word.

Being a dog lover and thoroughly enjoying a story with engaging characters and a story that pulls my imagination along with every scene, every question, and every revelation, I must say I very much enjoyed this story. A delightful vacation for my mind. At the end of the book I was smiling, happy and hoping Iris Johansen had written more books like this one.

It just wasn't my cup of tea.

Totally unnecessary sex scenes - and they weren't even well written.
Character development was slim and much of the conversation was stilted. The conversations about sex were so unreal that they were more apt to make me laugh than to steam me up!

I remembered reading a couple of Eve Duncan novels at my aunt's house in my early teens and liking them - so, when I saw Iris Johansen on Audible, I bought several. Now that I have actually listened to one, I regret wasting the credits!

Narrator not good with so many voices

The story was ok for a commuter trip, not something I could have gotten through any other way and the narrator is good with women voices and accents but not so much with men’s voices. Overall if you like harlequin romance it’s right up your alley.

Great book, FANTASTIC Narration

The writing was really good and kept you on the edge of your seat, but paired with Joyce Bean's narration, was fantastic! I had to keep reminding myself that she was doing all the narration by herself. She's a pleasure to listen to and her timing is unparalleled in my opinion. I will be looking for more books she's narrated to listen to!

Enjoyable with dogs

Entertaining with some good plot twists, although in a few places I rolled my eyes.
