Publisher's summary
Wolf shifter Mackenzie Davis has no interest in mating with another wolf. A horrific experience in her past has hardened her to this resolve. She loves her life as is, with the perfect job, the perfect friends, and the perfect boyfriend - a human one. Nevertheless, her mother implores her to attend this year’s Wolf Gathering. Reluctantly dragging her feet, she agrees to one day only.
Drake Spencer has come to the gathering from Texas with his family. He’s 28and believes his chances of finding a mate are slim to none, especially since he saw the woman he felt connected to leave with another man at the last gathering. But what if the woman who has consumed his dreams for the last two years is not actually mated?
When Mackenzie and Drake meet, sparks fly. Kenzie hopes to deny the claim on her. But can she? The call of mates is stronger than she expected. What will happen to her sense of self if she follows this man to Texas? Not to mention Drake. Can he live with the mental scars of her past?

Story
Handsome and mysterious, he swoops in to offer me a new life, but this is no knight in shining armor. He’s cold, hardened by his past. But there’s an inferno underneath the ice. I can feel the heat each time he looks at me - each time he gives in to the desire between us. No matter how much I push to unleash the fire in his eyes, he shoves back harder each time. He’s merciless with his cruel words, telling me how naive I am, how little I know of the world.

Story
College drop-out Roxy Cumberland moved to New York with dreams of becoming an actress, but her dwindling bank account is quickly putting the kibosh on that fantasy. To make some quick cash, she signs up to perform singing telegrams. Her first customer is a gorgeous, cocky Manhattan trust-funder if she ever laid eyes on one. And what could be more humiliating than singing an ode to his junk, courtesy of his last one-night stand? Maybe the fact that she's dressed in a giant pink bunny costume....

Story
Mav disappeared before I could ever tell him about the child I carried. I’ve had years to get over him, and I’ve tried. But the second I see him again my heart lurches and it’s like all that time evaporates. I still burn for him, even though I know it’s a bad idea. I try to remind myself about the bad things: his possessiveness, his quick temper...but he’s different now. More mature. Protective. Settled. And hiding something. Something bigger than the child we share.

He was my uncle's friend, and I was too young for him. But in the heat of the moment, against the wall in a darkened hallway of an illicit club, none of those things mattered. It was just one night of giving in to what we both wanted. I never expected to see him two years later, sitting across me during a family dinner, encouraging me to do my internship for his business.

I'm a loan shark. Breaking people is in my blood. The Haynes were supposed to be a straightforward job. Go in and pull the trigger twice. One bullet for Charlie, one for his sister. But when I saw Valentina, I wanted her. Only, in our world, those who owe us don't get second chances. No way in hell will my mother let her live. So I devised a plan to keep her. It's depraved. It's immoral. It's dubious. It's perfect. Just like her.

Steamy! Hot! Did I say Hot!
Well let me start off by this is one audio that you shouldn’t listen in the car like I did. This is one hot werewolf love story. Becca Jameson’s short 3+ hour audio read by Meghan Kelly was a really well written short story about the werewolf clans selecting their soul mates.
Plot: So families with their teenage children go to the wolf gathering to have the male werewolf’s pick their female mates for life. Well for one girl, Mackenzie Davis, her mother drags her to this year’s gathering against her wishes for she has a human boyfriend. She does not want a wolf mate. Her boyfriend calls in that morning to cancel there get together that day. So Mackenzie (all call her Mac) agrees “Only one day mom!” Not ready to expose a hidden secret that she has held in from on previous wolf gathering. Her main reason for not wanting a wolf mate but, not willing to share with her mother about it. What Mac was not ready for was him!
Drake Shelton from Texas just like Mac he does not want a mate. He wants to be a certified bachelor. All he could think of is that girl that eluded him on the last Gathering as she was being taken out of the room by another. Little did he know that she did not succumb to the other wolf? Or his not so charms.
But, as he enters the room can it be true! He smells her scent. No can’t be she was taken or was she? Mac annoyed with the festivities leaves the room to be alone. She passes Drake and he could not let her get away this time. Calling her boyfriend she comes to learn what her sister has been saying for weeks. He tells her that he is gay. As Drake goes out to speak to her. Mac can feel the sparks begin to fly between them.
“This cannot be”, thinks Mac. She just found out her boyfriend is gay and how could she be attracted to a wolf! What happens next is something both of them well Mackenzie does not want to admit to. Drake is so pumped up by her that he is having a difficult time containing himself. But, he does.
After her moments with Drake, Mackenzie decides that she does not want go the next day to the gathering. She could not face Drake after the events of the day before. It just was not right she can’t be attracted to him. Little does she know that her sister the day before gave Drake their address and he shows up on her door step. He makes her a proposition that she reluctantly agrees to go back to Texas with him. She’ll prove that this is not a match for life.
Without giving up the rest of this listen/story. Does Mackenzie fall for Drake? Is she everything he ever dreamed of? What is Mackenzie’s secret that she finally shares with Drake? Something that she never even shared with anyone. Will this be a happily ever after? You will not be disappointed that is all I can say about this short read!
The Narrator: Another marvelous performance by Meghan Kelly. I have listen to her in other audio mediums and she more than hit the characters on the head here! Like I said this is not a book that you should listen to while driving. Meghan really cranked up the steam where the steam needed to be. She portrayed Mac’s feelings so well. She really has me a lifetime fan of her works!
The Cover: I do like the cover it shows just what kind of feelings end up between Mackenzie and Drake!

Entertaining but kind of slow
This was a good read, it just took too long revealing details. There was a drag to the story after the initial hook-up.
I liked Kenzie, I just could not connect with her, She was too trapped in the past, which was very vague until the end. I hate it when characters talk about a traumatic event that shaped them, but take forever to elaborate. She also tends to wallow and get angsty. Ugh!! Save me from eh angst!
Drake is yummy and uber patient with his mate. Seriously with hormones riding him he is willing to let her call the shots. Still he has the Alpha feel.
The narrative is mixed between the two, letting you into those deepest thoughts. Not such a great thing for her, but so sweet for him!
I listened to the audiobook narrated by Meghan Kelly, who is always wonderful. She has a great way of making Kenzie's angst bearable. Her pace is fantastic and helps move the story over the slower parts.I really liked her energy throughout the read. I love her tone, it fits the characters perfectly.
Overall, I enjoyed the book, it was just slow and drawn out. I would be interested to see what happens with supporting characters from this book. Siblings deserve HEA too!

Pleasant Surprise
Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?
I absolutely would recommend this audiobook to a friend who loved shifter novels. It is short, but the story was complete and kept my interest all the way through.
What was one of the most memorable moments of Tarnished?
The first time Drake saw MacKenzie he was taken by her, but just as high as his heart lept, it plummeted.
The second time he saw her was also memorable. I love those first looks that grab the characters and hold them hostage for a few moments.
Which character – as performed by Meghan Kelly – was your favorite?
I really like the voice Meghan Kelly lent to MacKenzie's character. I could see the character clearer.
Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?
I wanted to listen to this book in one sitting and did so.

Story ok, narator no so ok
Where does Tarnished rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?
Below the bar
What was your reaction to the ending? (No spoilers please!)
Predictable
Would you be willing to try another one of Meghan Kelly’s performances?
No, she would whisper one minute and screaming a minute later. It was really hard on my ears.
Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?
No
Any additional comments?
This narator needs to learn to read without screaming and act the parts better. I wouldn't knowing buy anything narated by her again. The story was ok, but completely predictable.
