About this listen
Sometimes, when you’re desperate enough, poking the bear is exactly what’s needed.
Ethan
Even a shifter needs rest after a grueling operation, but I’m not going to get it. I’ve just been handed a new mission. I’m staring at an image of a British POW in need of rescue and my heart is thumping. How can a simple photograph do that to me?
Suddenly, I realize this mission has to succeed.... I’m going to get you out of there James; I promise. And I always keep my promises.
James
War is hell. Being a POW has nearly broken me but I won’t give in, despite the pain and torture I’ve had to endure from my captors. Dreams of home and a hot, muscled, blue-eyed rescuer have kept me going this long...that and my British resolve.
Then, just as think I might be better off dead, I see him, running towards me, dodging bullets. I must still be dreaming, right?
It’s a long way to the border and safety. Ethan and James must fight their way through hell, bullets and bombs, and learn to put their trust in one another, if they want to make it out alive.

Story
I was 12-years-old when the world ended. For eight years I've survived in this sh*thole once known as Earth, fighting the alien parasite that mutated most of the population into bloodthirsty freaks while the rest of us became the lunch special on their alien menu. Now things are changing, and not for the better. The parasite is evolving, becoming smarter, stronger, and deadlier. They've already stolen everything from me - my home, my family, even the man I loved. It's time for this bullsh*t to end once and for all.

Kept away from us by walls and weapons. Females we long for greatly...obsessively. Human females. And the one with red hair? I want her. I saw her first. I will fight to the death for her. She is mine. So, we’ll come together and make an exchange with their men that will benefit us all. After that? To the winner goes the spoil. Let the hunt begin...but the red-headed female is mine.

Ethan and James
I really enjoyed this book. Both author and narrator are new to me but that won't be for long. Ethan and 2 team mates are sent in to retrieve POW James, along the way Ethan losses his team mates but gets the job done, falling for James whilst doing his mission.

love sparks in a desolate time and place
After all the death, destruction. and hardships of war., there was a small flickering spark that turned into an all out burning love. Ethan and James's story is gripping, raw, intense, and beautiful . Loved it. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest review. The narrator did a great job.

Good.
Bear Shifter Ethan is sent on a mission to rescue British Solider James. What starts out as a team mission turns into a solo. Luck is on Ethan's side though when he finds James. As they navigate through enemy territory to Russia though, things take turns for both the better and the worse.
I had a few conflicted feelings about this book. I feel like the shifter part should have had a bit more punch to it but it was okay as it stands. I really didn't enjoy the narrator's British accent. Again, it was okay but not my favorite. This book was okay. Military romance books are my jam generally no matter what theme they find themselves in. Despite all the death and wounds and stuff I found myself thinking of this book having more of a fluffy feel to it. Will probably listen to it again.

Definitely not what I expected, but so, so good!
I expected a typical shifter romance where the shifter part of Ethan is his predominant aspect and the “extraction” plot part is put somehow second place.
Instead what I got is a really interesting and well-written war-story, where you are right there with Ethan and James, in the midst of the Azerbaijani woods, fleeing for safety with Turks soldiers shooting at you. You are really transported into the thick of things in this book. At some points I really felt like thee were bullets flying over my head!
And the love that develops between this two man is strong and grows organically, yes there’s instant attraction, and there’s flirting and banter, but they’re both too trained and focused of making it out alive to act on impulse, so when they act on their feelings, it’s because there’s already something real between them.
Allen Jeffries is a new to me narrator, and I liked what he did with the voices: two completely different accents for American Ethan and Brit James.

Narrator didn’t do it for me
The story was fine but I couldn’t finish it. I can see narrator being great for some people but it wasn’t for me. His basic speech was done in the same way that other narrators do fight or sex scenes. He was dramatic even when the characters were eating eggs. The British accent wasn’t really bad but I think it came off bad because of the voice he chose to use. I’m going to try reading this title on my kindle. DNF
