Publisher's summary

No one ever expects someone like Carnal.

New York Times and USA Today best-selling author Victoria Danann introduces a groundbreaking paranormal romance series about a genetically altered new species. They’re heart-stopping beautiful to look at, but also bigger, faster, stronger, and smarter.

"I adore Carnal, a true bad boy hero if ever one was written." (The Paranormal Romantic)

The rogue angel Kellareal stopped the genocide of 143 human/animal hybrids who'd been genetically engineered as an experiment. Generations had spent their entire lives imprisoned and used as research subjects. Against orders, he spirited them away to another world. In a twist of irony, they were given the job of protecting humans from the result of their own hybrid experiment gone very, very wrong.

When Rosie Storm asked Kellareal for a place to hide and teach her boyfriend a lesson, she thought she was getting a few weeks of tantrum-fueled asylum. The last thing she was expecting was to be the accidental architect of a war. Or to meet someone like Carnal.

"Carnal is a force to be reckoned with." (Night Owl Reviews, Top Pick)

"Fans of Laurann Dohner and Lora Leigh love the bad, bad boys of Exiled!" (The Fanatical Paranormal Romantical)

Delightful tie in to the Black Swan series

Fits into the saga nicely in the author’s unique style. Narrator is excellent as well. Too bad TV or cinema hasn’t picked this story up to become a binge worthy show/movie series. I think the characters and story are on par with Vampire Diaries/Originals or Shadowhunters. Don’t miss the rest of the Knights of the Black Swan tales

Audio does this excellent book justice

I've read Carnal several times, and had some concerns a voice Actor would not do it Justice. Now I've listened to Carnal, and Gary Furlong definitely was the correct voice to pick for this book. He did an excellent job!
If you don't know this 3 book series that branches off of the Black Swan series, It is time you discover it. If you don't know the Black Swan world, what a treat is ahead of you!

I am having trouble reviewing this book, because it's not a typical romance, it's not a typical action story, It's not a typical coming of age story. In some ways it is all 3, in some ways it is none of these. What it is, is a beautifully written tale of people you care about in an interesting, dangerous world. To me, having previously read the ebook, this quality audio performance enhanced the experience.

I was provided a copy of the audio book for review. This did not affect my opinion or my review.

An Epic Romance

Oh my goodness! This is my second time listening to this amazing story. I have also read it a couple times. Even so I still sobbed. Please give this story a chance. It is a fantastic love story. Rosie runs from what she feels is rejection. She finds a whole new world. The story that ensues is epic. From a Forever Fan... Pam James.

Excellent story

Best written and creative love story. Happy to hear paranormal creatures able to use their abilities finally.
Look forward to book 2!

Carnal..... OMG......Excellent...

Exciting and so full of mystery. This book is a rollercoaster of emotions. Excellent story line and with this Narrator OH MY GOODNESS. It will make you feel every emotion that the characters displayed. I ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT.

Spoiler alert - don’t care - warning others

This might ruin this book for others but I feel it is only fair. When I read a Romance - even Better a romance which storyline includes other very interesting elements…. supernaturals, sci fi, etc. - I am still reading something for romance/relaxation/ and HEA. Do NOT read this if you want the HEA. Unfortunately I have lost both my father AND my brother-in-law (both loved dearly) in the last few months and to get my mind off of grieving I have been reading a lot of different types of books but focusing mainly on those which would (hopefully) have a sweet satisfying ending. Needless to say, THIS book was heart breaking - and worse because in this genre I was not expecting it. Which is also too bad because it SEEMed as though (I was thinking) I had found a New Author! Anyone who reads voraciously knows what I’m talking about…. It is difficult finding more really good books when you have already gone through Everything by any beloved authors that you already know. So I was beginning to be impressed and hopeful with this storyline not only because it kept my interest but also because I was thinking I would be able to read All other books by this author. Now - I am very Leary of reading ANYthing else by her because I do not know if it is going to once again - break my heart and I can NOT handle any additional anguish of heart in the next six months (at least). So if anyone else out there has had tragedy in their lives recently - they might want to pass on this book, at Least until their hearts and minds are better prepared to deal with it.
