About this listen

She’d walk through fire to save their world. To claim her, he’d let it all burn.

Her widowed heart freshly healed, Lavinia wants nothing more than to bind herself to Ivan, the man who adores her fatherless sons almost as much as he loves her. Then duty calls her to risk their future and return to a life she’d fled - to a man who wants her as much as she fears him.

Tasked with escorting Lavinia back to the land of her birth, Ivan pledges his heart along with his protection. He’ll have his mark upon her within days. But no sooner do they arrive than her previous life threatens to tear her away forever. Haunted by the mistakes of her past, Lavinia would do anything to redeem herself and save her people. Consumed by desire, Ivan must decide if passion is worth more than the survival of his race.

Duty or love? They can’t have both.

Fantastical storytelling! Incredible Narration!

Ivan the Bold is the 3rd book of Denali Day´s Dokiri Bride Series. I believe this could be read/listen to as a standalone but to get the whole background story, I would really recommend starting with the first book as this series also follows, and builds upon, a storyline.

I just love this series and once again I am astounded by the built-up and depth of Denali´s writing and this story. The breathlessly beautiful descriptions of this world and equally amazing, continued development of the characters kept me engaged and enchanted until the end. It is so emotional and heartbreaking at times but also layered with humorous scenes that have you giggling. It’s a slow burn filled with sweetness that makes you swoon and thrilling adventure that has you on the edge of your seat.

This book follows Ivan & Lavinia, whose friendship develops slowly into something more. Although once Lavinia reveals who her kin really is and that she may hold the key to end a terrible threat that is looming over mankind, above and below the mountains, everything seems to be against them being together. I loved how Lavinia comes into her own, turning into this brave woman, in spite of her insecurities and puts her people’s happiness above everything else including her own and Ivans, who due to his feelings, his heated temper and his stubbornness loses sight of what needs to be done to save his people as he is hell bend on making Lavinia his.

Denali Day´s fantastical words combined with Shane East storytelling makes this an amazing listen. Shane´s solo performances are simply something special as he gives each character equal attention and indulges into the depth of their personalities! He is a master of this trade. Incredible acting performed with a lot of heart and emotions.

Very excited for Magnus´s story as I think it is going to be a fiery one.

Completely Addicted

I’m a 45 year old woman who reads all types of books. This series is something I’ll never forget. The ultimate breed of warriors who value their woman above all else… swoon, take me there. I’ve enjoyed this series more than I can say. Adventure, fantasy and love. I’m completely addicted!

A little slow but still enjoyable

Ivan and Lavinia were definitely a different couple. Since she was a widow, she could claimed again and Ivan loved her enough to.

The threat from the last book meant they needed allies from Lavinias homeland but going back had consequences. Ivan and Lavinia were put through the RINGER. Most times I didn’t think they were gonna make it.

She was so different from the first heroines so it’s hard to compare her. She wasn’t white(which wasn’t always noticeable in the first two even though her stammer was obvious) so there were times where I was uncomfortable with her being an addict.

But her sister is introduced (she’s the next heroine) so I’m nervous but excited to see how she’s handled(nervous because she’s described as so “hard” and masculine and her being dark skinned makes me proceed with caution).

I could’ve done without the lazy descriptions to describe dark skin(black as night? I ain’t hear no white as milk references for pale skin…just saying) but it is enjoyable even though it’s not as fast paced as the first two. Looking forward to book 4.

In love with this series

My favorite so far!

I'm used to more heated Romance BUT this series has won me over. Shane has a great voice, love that he's the only narrator. Though a sexy woman would just add to the attraction. The way he reads these stories is incredible, I can't put them down.

The magical stories are so creative and unusual you fall in love with gental men and their brutal viking style

5% action, 95% storytelling

I thought the book to be a little boring and soap opera-ish. Halfway through, I just stopped listening and started reading the book so I can skim over the boring parts.
