Feral Sins

Phoenix Pack, Book 1

By: Suzanne Wright

Narrated by: Jill Redfield

Length: 13 hrs and 34 mins

Publisher's summary

When female wolf shifter Taryn Warner first encounters Trey Coleman, an alpha male wolf shifter with a dangerous reputation, she’s determined to resist his charms. After all, Trey - who was only fourteen when he defeated his own father in a duel, winning the right to be alpha of his pack - can’t have anything to offer the talented healer besides trouble, or so she thinks. Taryn finds herself drawn in by Trey’s forceful demeanor and arctic-blue eyes, and she eventually agrees to enter an uneasy alliance with him. If the two succeed in convincing their respective packs that they’ve chosen each other as mates, Trey will win valuable political allies, while Taryn will escape an odious arranged mating.

But there are a lot of potential pitfalls to this plan - including the very real possibility that the wolf shifters, overwhelmed by their growing attraction to each other, will be unable to maintain the clear heads needed to pull off the deception.

Oh, come on pearl clutchers, that was funny!

“And just which dwarf are you?”
Sweet stormtrooper, that was funny and raunchy and everything I love about paranormal romance!
I’m late to the party because I generally find that any longer than 10 hours in this genre bogs down.
That, and some of the reviews faulted the non-consent stuff and the smut-overload.
Now I’m both kicking myself for passing these up and stoked there’s plenty of books by this author.

“There were a few ways she could handle her first few moments with the pack. One, she could …
two, … or three, she could just be her usual ray of sarcastic, F ing sunshine …
A bigger person would have gone with option two. But, well, she was a B.”
Snarky leading ladies are so much fun. Even better: the comedy is strong with the supporting cast.
Who knew trading insults with grandma could be so much fun?

“With alphas, submission has to be earned, not taken.”
For what it’s worth, I don’t like Dark Romance. Shifter romance glorifying dubious consent is not for me. However, shifter romance that plays on animal instincts and has fun with a ‘who’s the bigger alpha’ flirtation is totally my thing, especially if the camp and the vamp are strong.
I never at any point felt she was unwilling.

“You’re a nympho.”
And yes, the reviews were right: there were eight mouthy, dom-y, finger-y and butt-ery scenes starting a little past the two hour mark. Are people really complaining about more bang for their buck? 😜

“A few fries short of a happy meal.”
I suppose I could find fault with some stuff. The jealous ex plot was very high school juvenile. The endless belaboring about her being latent was way overdone (and a heavy handed setup if ever there was one). But isn’t rolling with the eye roll part of the fun with these popcorn listens? Excuse me as I grab some more popcorn and move on to book 2.

Where does Feral Sins rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

This book ranks among my top five. The humor was first rate. The characters are memorable. Ms. Redfield did a great job.

Which character – as performed by Jill Redfield – was your favorite?

Taryn is strong, profane and funny.

hot, steamy, sexy, i'm addicted.

Would you listen to Feral Sins again? Why?

best narrator I've listened to in a while, she bring life to the characters. This book was well written, great balance with romance and action. Great intro to what i hope will be an incredible series.

Demanding hunks

I loved this book, funny,sexy and those wolves, lord so bold they tell there women to beg them for what they want,and these are no wimpy wolf girls lol...try to image someone bringing you right to that explosion and be denied omg you have to get it, I pass it up so many times but I love the pack. On the second book now .

Predictable

Its books like these that make me think I could be a successful writer. Its very formulaic and cliche. I didn't dislike it enough to stop listening but guaranteed I'm not getting anything by this author again.

Very steamy not for minors but it's quite interest

absolutely loved it and I can't wait to see what is next,this book was hot,hot hot.and I mean smoking,steaming hot.

Lots of banging, the adult version of “Twilight”

So it should be known ahead of time that this “supernatural” thriller could easily fit on the shelf next to Fifty Shades of Grey; in fact a better name of the book may have been Fifty Shades of Wolf. It is a pretty decent story full of good characters but my only complaint there is that there are sooo many of them - there’s the alpha, the alpha’s lady, the beta, the beta’s lady, enforcers, enforcers ladies, guards and guards’ ladies, and so on and so forth. I may listen to the second one but I won’t be paying full price for it. Only if for a sale like this one here was that I picked up. I’d say that this is easily the adult, very adult version of Twilight for sure. So if you liked those books and those movies when you were slightly younger, add 5-7 years of time and maturation in between and now you’ve got this series. Perfect for the young adult turned true adult.

5 Stars all the way

Would you listen to Feral Sins again? Why?

It is I loved it and I already have just to make myself laugh again

What did you like best about this story?

I was totally enthralled in the whole story Ms, Wright made me care about all of the characters and I LMAO the whole time love the sharp banter between Taryn and the Grand mother hilarious....

Which scene was your favorite?

I have too many to write about I guest the whole book...

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

A Sexy funny fantasy worth your time...

Any additional comments?

This is a must read and a must listen to book!!!! the narrator Jill Redfield was great...

More of a b*tch than sarcastic.

Any additional comments?

The female character was a strong woman with a completely sarcastic attitude, but it was SO MUCH that she seems more of a b*tch then just a clever, quick witted character. The book all-n-all in pretty good. She just never seemed happy.

It's definitely a steamy book

The story wasn't predictable. It was never boring and I enjoyed being surprised by the evolution of the events. It was worth the purchase. The book is definitely steamy ;)
