Publisher's summary

Gordon Force only had two weeks to go on his job. He was going to be working with his brother Dallas in keeping their alpha safe. But he had a favor to fulfill, a shop to visit and only a question or two to ask. He never expected four kids, two goofy aunts and his mate to walk into his life. Alexis Dark was hiding. Her brother-in-law was a real piece of work and she knew he'd killed his wife, her sister. But no one wanted to believe that he had done it.

The marks on the body were too consistent with that of an animal not a human they'd told her. Well she knew better. When Gordon went to her house to speak to her again she met him at her door smelling like soap, shampoo and oh so lovely sex. She closed her eyes to the almost purr of his voice. It was hypnotic and the most soothing thing she'd ever heard in her life.

When she found herself pressed against him she looked up into his eyes suddenly very afraid and very needy. “Don't,” she said as he lowered his head to hers. “Please, don't.” “Too late.” He brushed his mouth over hers once then pulled back to look at her again. “Christ, it's you.” This time when he took her mouth, it was to devour her.

Better narration and editing than in first book.

What did you love best about Force of the Dark Wolf?

I liked the family feel of this book, and of this series. There is, to me, an unlikely amount of sex, or really, more like schmex! It's not disgusting, nor a huge downside, just a lot, and my personal preference is a bit less on the physical and more development of the why and wherefore of attraction.

Who was your favorite character and why?

I like the strong female characters portrayed in this series. I Do Not like the spanking kink that is infrequently referred to.

What about Liona Gem’s performance did you like?

Liona Gem, in this second book, has smoothed out the rough edges of her delivery. Additionally, the music between chapters is gone! Maybe producers actually listened to feedback!!!

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

An easy book to listen to in one sitting, but that mostly because it was so short. This author has good character development, the narrator has a pleasant voice and does fairly well with distinguishing various people with different voices.

Any additional comments?

This audiobook should be less expensive than the $13.96 it's currently listed for. Usually books 5 to 6 hours in length cost less. This is a good book, a nice series, but not fantastic.
