Story
After a disaster of a first heat, I’m ready to swear off alphas and escape to a cabin in the woods. My body has other plans. Now that I’m awakened, I can’t survive another heat alone. Problem is, I hate alphas, hate packs, and really super hate the so-called mates I can’t forgive and can’t forget. Now my biological clock’s ticking too fast to handle, and I can’t wait on Wyvern Pack to figure out their damage. I’ll take care of my own needs. And if you can’t give me what I want, then get out of my way. Because this omega bites back.

This book is everything I dislike. It’s an omega-verse. Fated mates. Has MM (not homophobic, just doesn’t do it for me). BUT THIS BOOK. They are going on my all-time-favorite list and I will be singing them from the rooftops. I would gladly have amnesia just to listen again for the first time. Buy the books. Give them a try. You won’t regret it.

Story
This Psych 312 assignment just might send me off the deep end. Determining whether love at first sight really exists with Robbie Moravian as my project partner of all people? He’s the sappiest man alive, so upbeat I could scream, and clearly rooting for happy endings at every turn. How does he not learn from experience considering our own meet-cute last semester almost got us expelled? But we both need to pass this course to graduate. So we’re interviewing five random couples about their meet-cutes and relationships and spending all this time together. Which is certainly...educational.

This book was toe-curling adorable. I loved everything about. It deserves a dedicated single play though with a fire and cocoa and some solid headphones. All the warm feelings in an amazing performance.

Reader beware, this is not a book. It’s certainly not an audiobook. It’s a full-blown work of art. It’s a haunting story so beautifully told that I’m grateful to be reminded it’s a work of fiction. It lures you in with the unique storytelling, releases you just long enough to breathe, and then begins again. Truly mesmerizing and worth every moment spent. I have zero regrets that I neglected my house cleaning to trance out to this for several hours.

Reviewed: 01-02-23
I saw a lot of people didn’t like the narrator for this book, but as I’m a big Kristen Banet fan, I figured I would give it a shot anyway. I actually really enjoyed Lucy Rivers’ narration. I found her easy to understand, compelling in her emoting, and able to differentiate voices well. She kept good pace and rhythm and I’ve heard a lot worse. The story is, of course, incredible and I’m really looking forward to buying the next as soon as I submit this review!

The stories were all wrong—Hook was never the villain. For two centuries, all of the Darling women have disappeared on their 18th birthday. Sometimes they’re gone for only a day, some a week or a month. But they always return broken. Now, on the afternoon of my 18th birthday, my mother is running around the house making sure all the windows are barred and the doors locked. But it’s pointless. Because when night falls, he comes for me. And this time, the Never King and the Lost Boys aren’t willing to let me go.

What the smut
Reviewed: 08-29-22
This book is difficult to pin down. Beautifully written and narrated to perfection, this is some top-quality erotica here. I don’t know why, but I wasn’t expecting erotica when I picked it up. That’s not normally my thing. However, this had just enough story to make it compelling and so I actually finished it. That says a lot from me.
Here’s a simple synopsis for you: Peter Pan and the Lost Boys are a bunch of angry and SUPER horny young men. Winnie Darling is a dead-inside and SUPER horny young woman. She is kidnapped by Pan and Co. for some side-quest reasons because although there’s a “don’t touch the Darlings” rule in place, touching the Darling appears to be the main quest for every Lost Boy within a quarter mile. But it’s okaaaay, she’s super different from all the other Darling women he’s kidnapped before and soon enough Peter Pan joins in the fun for some orgy stuff.
Oh yeah, and then storyline happens and cliffhanger occurs. Guess now you’ll have to pick up book number two. Not sure I’m willing to wade through another three and a half hours of smut to get to the half hour of story in the next book, but we’ll see how bored I am in the next few days. Not a full-stop pass, but I feel no dire inclination to continue.

What if Red Riding Hood didn't fall in love with one Big Bad Wolf, but three? I've been a city girl my entire life. But when my grandmother got sick, I didn't think twice before packing my bags and moving to Crimson Hollow, a small town in West Virginia. Two years later, I'm still here and finally adjusting to the quiet life. Only there's nothing ordinary about this town. A walk in the woods proved almost deadly and left me changed forever. I was attacked by a rogue wolf, and now, I belong to the Crimson Hollow pack. I'm a shifter.

One of these is not like the other
Reviewed: 08-27-22
The story was good. The female narrator was good. BUT DEAR HEAVENS that made narrator. I told myself at first that it was his audio equipment. Give the man a chance, I said. I tried my best, friends, but in the end… I have never heard someone make such unique mistakes. He doth not follow written cues for vocal tone. Someone growls on the page, but Sir Tristan feels there should be an question mark on the end. And why does the emphasis of a sentence always seem to be on anything but the proper subject? All-in-all, his portions gave the impression of an aged gentleman peering through his bifocals via the length of his nose and channeling his inner chieftain a la Pocahontas, losing it somewhere in the hollows of his dentures and finding it on his neighbor’s shoe. If one of the more mature scenes makes it into his hands, the libido of the persons listening may very well be irreplaceably damaged.
If I ever find the drive to pick up the next book in this series, it will be the Kindle addition for me.

Reviewed: 08-22-22
I was wary at first because usually fairytales told by silky-toned Englishmen lull me to sleep, but Tim Bruce can have my heart and whatever else he wants. He can also have my medical bills. I almost swooned enough in the Walmart grocery section to have an ambulance called and I’m now concerned about my heart with all the fluttering. In all seriousness, the story and performance were some of the best I’ve heard and I loved every single second of the nearly 21 hours with my dearest friends.

I have exactly 5 hours and 10 minutes to get from Boston to New York City or the professional opportunity of a lifetime disappears. My only travel option? The second to last seat on a discount bus. Across from the bathroom. Wearing last night’s clothes (don’t ask). All worth it if I can make it in time.

This story was absolutely one of the greatest I have ever had the honor to experience. The characters are delightful and relatable, the narrators were spectacular, and I wish I could erase it from my mind so I could listen for the first time again. 100/10 would recommend.
