Any additional comments?

Well written story with good character development, storyline, & plot. I enjoyed Alex & Teodora's story. Several of the characters from the first novel plus a few new ones are in this story. Book is a stand alone novel.

Loved it!

I don't know how this one slipped by me but as I listened I realized I had not read this..Oh My Gosh!! It was so good!! I couldn't put it down ..I used my headphones at work so I could continue it. It had been a bit since I read book 1 so it was a real treat getting to go back to that world. Needless to say Book 3 has been bought and I am jumping right in! Elizabeth Hunter has that ability to draw you into the worlds she creates and just captivate you. This was no exception!!

An excellent murder mystery

with a side of romance, kidnapping, snake shifters, bird shifters, lizard shifter, wolf shifters, cougar shifters, and befuddled humans. This is actually a high quality well written mystery.

I like the series and this story but

I like the series and this story but the narrator is not easy to listen to. Her emphasis on words and within sentences is poor. It makes it difficult to listen to.

Great as always

I love this series also enough to keep me on the edge of my seat.

enjoyed the listen

different character voices seemed to blend together a lot, but there were a lot of charters that played a part in this book. overall though enjoyed listening to it.

I love this series!

Another great novel my Elizabeth Hunter! The shifting, the love scenes, the drama all make up a great storyline. The characters are unforgettable. Can't wait to read the next one!!

Good, But Not Quite Up To Par

I enjoyed the first book in this series, as well as the novellas. I believe Ms. Hunter is an extremely talented author. Desert Bound was not a bad book and was eminently readable. If written by someone else I might have rated it higher. However, I felt that she wasn't terribly committed to this plot. After the years of tension, hurt feelings, anger, frustration and regret between the two main characters, their differences seemed fairly insurmountable. Then they reunited so abruptly it seemed almost anti-climactic. And while her books are usually chock full of characters, that works because she either proves their value to the story by the end of the book or makes it clear she is setting a character up in this book that will reoccur in future story lines with a purpose. I felt like there were superfluous characters in this book, involved in fairly heavy scenes and then disappearing without any idea of why they were included.

Again, enjoyable book and definitely worth reading if you liked the first book in the series. I recommend you read the first book in the series and the novellas before reading this book. Just not up to her best efforts

coming back home but moving forward

Alex McCann is has come home to Cambio Springs to build a spa and to stay. Teadora Vasquez got her medical degree and came home a while ago to practice. They used to live together and love each other very much. Can Alex convince Tea to take a chance on him again? And can Alex protect Tea when she insists on helping him find out who murdered one of their own?
Ivary does an ok job of narration.
