About this listen

Blair Mason was a woman with a one-track mind, and that track was work. From sunrise to sundown, all she thought about was how to keep her small town grocery store open. That meant hard decisions, the type Blair was in the midst of making when she was rudely interrupted by a tall man. A tall, handsome man. Oh, there were things other than work after all!

Daxton Holt thought getting his honey on Mason's shelves would be simple. Walk in, flash a smile, and fill out some paperwork. But this owner was something else. She saw right through his charms, pushing him to really sell his product. He liked that, and he liked her. A feisty little minx is sweeter than any honey his bees made.

Short story that I felt was missing something

What did you like best about Daxton? What did you like least?

I liked the idea and build up of the story but I felt like the story had just started and it was over.

If you’ve listened to books by Becca Fanning before, how does this one compare?

This was my first audio book by Becca Fanning

Any additional comments?

The story started great. Blair was a little annoying being so judgy and cold towards everyone in the beginning but then she warmed up to Daxton. I was disappointed that there was promise of her being around his friends but then it never happened. I would have liked to see them one more time.

🐻 and 🍯 and 🥃

Rating: ❤️❤️❤️.5
Heat Rating: 🔥🔥🔥
Narrator Performance: 🎧🎧🎧🎧

This short story was simple and straight forward. I found the relationship between the main characters, Daxton and Blair, to be believable despite the limited amount of page time that they had. The villains in the story were one dimensional but at the same time easy for the listener to picture. The world building was rather basic and I wanted a bit more in that regard. Also, this was supposed to be a BBW story but there are no mentions of the woman’s size in the text.

I enjoyed the narration of this story. Meghan Kelly’s pace for it was great. She delivers the lines without any hesitation. She even uses three voices for her performance. There was one for both Daxton and Blair as well as one for the basic story narrative. My biggest complaint about her performance is that I would have liked more acting to go along with those voices.

I Was In Until...


...the portion, near the end that would spoil the whole story!

Meghan Kelly's story telling is ALWAYS fabulous. However, I would not have continued beyond the first hour, even with her professional delivery.

This is a good book and if you like this specific twist/genre, you'll want to continue this series. I'm not one of them.

Great Short Read

I received this book free for an honest review. And honest I will give you. This book was a great short story to listen too. It covered all the bases when providing a description of the people, places and things. The author describes Blair Mason as a pretty by-the-book type person, even though her beginnings were rough. As is typical, Daxton Holt, the shifter, is hot (they all are, lol). The story was full and complete with a little bit of suspense, thrill and romance. Enjoyed the break from the longer books.

Spectacular beginning to this new series!!!

Would you listen to Daxton again? Why?

I would definitely listen to this book again because it is a wonderful book of fantasy. A book that will take you/me to another place, a time to relax.

Any additional comments?

I love a great shifter romance book and this one was definitely no exception to that premise. It has a wonderful story with a strong, determined heroine, and a just as determined hero.

Blair Mason own and runs a small mom and pop grocery store in town. She is determined to succeed, however the big chain store in town is making it very hard, and now she is going to have to lay off one or two much loved employees. She does not have any time for anything other than her store if she wants it to succeed. Then the tall, very well built man walks into her office. Hmmmm, well maybe some time.

Daxton Holt is part owner of a honey farm. He is very determined to get his line of honey products into the local store. When he sees Blair for the first time he turns on the charm, flashes his smile, this is going to be a piece of cake. Then, Daxton finds himself being lead to the door, maybe not so much a piece of cake. He is definitely going to have to work for this one.

I loved watching these two battling it out, learning to trust each other, becoming friends, then lovers. I really like the personality of Daxton, the fact that he was just as determined to help Blair’s store grow as he was at selling his products to her.

I was introduced to this wonderful author when I was gifted with an audio copy of Daxton by Meghan Kelly, the narrator. I had not previously read/listened to any of her work. Now I have found another “shifter” author to follow, so “Thank you” Ms. Kelly for introducing me to Ms. Fanning’s books.

Meghan Kelly did a superb job performing this book, she definitely further brings this book to life with her performance.

This is the first book in Ms. Fanning’s 120 Proof Honey series. I look forward to reading/listening to more from this wonderful series in the future.

Thank you for reading my review.

Great short story!

If you could sum up Daxton in three words, what would they be?

Fun, Short, Sweet

What other book might you compare Daxton to and why?

It is very comparable to all the other short shifter stories out there, although i like this narrator better than some of the other ones i have come across.

Have you listened to any of Meghan Kelly’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes i have, I think Meghan always does a very good job!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes it was, it was just a short story so everything happened rather quickly which keeps the interest in listening to what happens next.

Daxton

Blair was a bit rigid at the beginning, but slowly humanized and became more likable. Daxton was a charmer and finally with reason and love he won her over. I enjoyed it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job bringing it to life.
