Jordan Alvarez knew that a promise to her best friend involved staking out the local wolf pack's scenting ceremony and recording the graphic details. No one would know that four human women had sneaked proof of their rituals - or that was the plan until Aric Wolfe showed up.

Aric knew his baby sister was up to something, and he expected her best friend, Jordan, to be in on the chaos. Jordan's scent called to both the man and the animal, and he was done fighting the call of the beast. It was time to mark his mate.

When a good intention creates a problem for the Wolfe family, Jordan finds herself being stalked by a woman intent on claiming Aric as her own. Battle lines will be drawn, and two alpha hearts seeking control will either find the balance or risk losing their love forever. (Contains mature themes.)

I enjoyed this story. I can't say that I love it as much as the PDA series, but it's still a really good story. Jordan and Arik are a really nice couple and I like the way their relationship is said to have built over years and not be one of those meet and instantly fall in love type stories. Not that there's anything wrong with those but this just seems a bit more believable. Well done to the author. Also, well done tot he narrator who did a great job bringing the characters to life in the audiobook. I'm looking forward to listening to book 2.

Pretty good start to a new series for me.

The story line was strong and interesting. I was hooked from the beginning. The erotic description were hot as July summer in Florida, waiting to ride a ride at a theme park. The narrator sounds like an octave lower Fran Drescher. Very nasally at times, which were nails on a chalkboard. Give this book a try, just try not to focus on the voice.

Milly Taiden has done it again with this well written book. This book is laced with action, sarcastic wit, strong female characters, sexy shifters and plenty of steamy sex. It grabs you from the chapter one and takes you on an explosive magic ride until the very end leaving you wanting more. A true just read or listen to book.

I did like the story! The sex was pretty good! The only thing I would say, is that I couldn't really handle the narrator's voice. She did excellent work with the tone with what was happening in the story, but the sound of the woman's voice was very nasally and I just couldn't handle it. Normally with these kinds of stories that have sex in them you want to find both the male and the female attractive in some way. You want the male voice to be deep and manly and you want the female's voice to be more feminine. Unfortunately this voice just turned me off of her otherwise I would be getting the very next book.

good story!

Overall I liked the book, and it was good for a get away shifter book, but not overly engaging. The biggest thing that I didn’t like was there was literally no conversations between the two, only sex albeit hot, sweaty sex. Sure they knew each other from pre book, but I missed the build up to get to know each other. But I did get this audio on sale for $1, so the audio was worth the cost. I would read the next book if on a sale, but not for a full credit. Narrator was fairly good.

Good story line and narrators. But this should be rated X I like to listen at work and had to fast forward through half the book to get past the sex scenes

Good story line and narrators but….X

I like the flow of the story, it was interesting from beginning to end - hope the series continues to be this way. Narration was very good.

Good story

This is a pretty one dimensional book. The characters have no depth, it doesn’t get the listener emotionally involved it centers around explicit sex scenes. Don’t get me wrong, I love hot sex, in my romances, like any other gal. However, I prefer a more complete shifter series like The Phoenix and Mercury Packs, by S. Wright, or The Immortals of New Orleans, by Kim Grosso.

I also have to mention a detail that I cant believe was missed by this author’s readers or editors.
There is a scene in which a human character shoots a rogue shifter with a shotgun and it leaves a bullet hole in the shifter’s chest. I must also point out that this was not a close up shot, it was from quite a distance. Now, I realize that I grew up in rural Kansas and started hunting at about 10 but, I would think it is commonly known that shotguns don’t shoot “bullets”. They shoot buck shot that shoots a spray of pellets that scatters in diameter fairly close to the barrel; making a shotgun pretty useless from any distance. The victim wouldn’t have a bullet hole but a spray of pellets. My eyes almost got stuck in my head, they rolled so far.

Be that as it may, I had been listening to a pretty intense series and wanted to take a break by listening to something light and simple. This book definitely fit that bill and it was in the Romance package and didn’t cost me a credit so, there you go, this story did serve that specific purpose.

Only so so, wish there were more good shifter stories 😢
