A Dark-Hunter Novel

By: Sherrilyn Kenyon

Narrated by: Fred Berman

Length: 10 hrs and 6 mins

Publisher's summary

Bride McTierney has had it with men. They're cheap, self-centered, and never love her for who she is. But though she prides herself on being independent, deep down she still yearns for a knight in shining armor.

She just never expected her knight in shining armor to have a shiny coat of fur...

Deadly and tortured, Vane Kattalakis isn't what he seems. Most women lament that their boyfriends are dogs. In Bride's case, hers is a wolf. A Were-Hunter wolf. Wanted dead by his enemies, Vane isn't looking for a mate. But the Fates have marked Bride as his. Now he has three weeks to either convince Bride that the supernatural is real or he will spend the rest of his life neutered--something no self-respecting wolf can accept...

But how does a wolf convince a human to trust him with her life when his enemies are out to end his? In the world of the Were-Hunters, it really is dog-eat-dog. And only one alpha male can win.

Listen to another Dark-Hunter novel.

Wulftastic

Have enjoyed the ups, downs, twists, turns, & hills that make up the lives of the Dark Hunter to find the person in the book.
Then reading it all wonderfully pulling together of the lives, of the other people (or Characters if your rude), to show how the past books people are still there & we are not to forget them just because that one ended.
Sherilyn Kenyon’s books have always made me want to grab the next, see who & where the mine is taken..!!
Have read all Sherilyn Kenyon’s Books & now having the ability to enjoy listening to them while able to do things..!! Best way to immerse yourself in her Dark Hunter Series.!
Sherilyn Kenyon is an amazing Author & ANY series & book written by is BEYOND worth the time & money to be able to enjoy.
Just saying for myself / my son & His girl friend who he addicted us to Sherilyn Kenyon’s writing ~ They are not a 1x read series..!!!)
Read the series 3x, now listening to the Dark Hunter/Dream/Were Series for the 1st time.

sexy wolf

this is the best so far out of the serious. Im glad its just not about the dark hunters.

Loved it

soo good favorite dark Hunter book so far incredible loved it it was just great

Absolutely Heart warming !!!!

Would you consider the audio edition of Night Play to be better than the print version?

I first heard this book in audio edition and haven't read the print version. Fred Berman is a wonderful narrator. I could listen to him all day!

Who was your favorite character and why?

Bride was my favorite. Especially the part when she was having a meltdown episode. That was hilarious!!!!

Which character – as performed by Fred Berman – was your favorite?

All of them! I believe he did an excellent job of making a distinction of the characters.

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

YES!!!!

I fell in love

Vane is flawed and wonderful. The way this man loves stays with you. Bride is everything, strong, smart, warm hearted. It is so easy to slip into her shoes and have your mind run away with the story. Worth a read.

Night Play

I really enjoy this book because it gives us big bones girls hope that there is a prince out there for us.This book has the right idea of relationship.

My favorite book of all

I absolutely love this story. Its when the chuncky lady gets the hunk. This is the first one that I have gotten as an audio book.
I have to say that Fred Berman is the worst I have ever heard. He made Tabitha and Simi sound like idiots. I will not be getting any more that he is reading. I honesty think it would not be worth my money.
I have all of your books in paperback or hard cover. But I just can not do Fred Berman again.

loved it,

I loved it. one of my favorite stories Kenyon out did herself. really relatable and good. of course the overall is just like all the other darkhunter books but done tastefully.

FANTASTIC!

I love it. Vane and Bride make such a loving couple. I am glad that Acheron and Simi are also mentioned in the story. A very good series. I also love Fred Bernan's performance.

Yay! Big, curvy & beautiful gals need lovin' too!!

If you could sum up Night Play in three words, what would they be?

Give me Vane!!!!

What did you like best about this story?

I loved that the main female character was not stick-thin but close to my own body type-a size 18. I'm so tired that all the female leads are so short (5'4" or under)-what happened to 5'6" women and anyone over size 6. Full figured gals are always overlooked or in a secondary role. They aren't worthy of a look by the handsome, hunky, leading male- much less being enamored and adored over or (God forbid!) sexy! Ok I had my soapbox moment. I LOVE VANE KATTALAKIS!! We were introduced to him in Night Embrace when he was guarding Sunshine and Bride bought an art piece done by Sunshine. Vane was instantly captivated by Bride. Vane is a drop-dead gorgeous, hunk of a man(wolf). He meets Bride again in her shop and is moved by her sadness over a breakup. He wants her to be happy even though his situation is more serious(he and his brother are being hunted to death; his brother, Fang, is trapped in wolf form and is in a coma from the last attempt on their lives). Vane considers her beautiful and buys an expensive necklace to cheer her up. Vane is a were hunter, rich, handsome, muscular, hunky, magical being who loves Bride for the lovely, kind person that she is. After they have sex, they find out that they are fated to be mates-according to his laws. If Vane doesn't convince Bride in two weeks to be his mate-he will be rendered impotent until SHE dies(were-hunter law gives the female the decision to either take the male as a mate or not). He now has to 'woo' her as well as tell her about what he really is-not human like her. Vane does this while dealing with everything else in his life and he now has to protect Bride because other were hunters could smell her as Vane's mate. In effect, she is in danger because of him. I liked how Vane protected Bride whether it was other were hunters or her ex-boyfriend or HIS family.

Which scene was your favorite?

There was the scene when they first had sex- but the most hysterical was when Bride'sfriend, Tabitha, was being told by her sister Amanda and her husband about Vane's true identity in the kitchen while Vane and Bride were in the living room. You could hear Tabitha's voice screaming "Whaddaya mean he's a dog!!"

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

When Bride realised how she truly felt about Vane from the fact that he would abide her decision on whether they become mates or not. Vane's care of her and the way that he got along with her family and how he fought(physically) his family when she was in danger.

Any additional comments?

Although I loved this story and Mr. Berman's narration-I felt that Bride's voice shouldn'thave been southern. I understand that it takes place in New Orleans-but that's just my opinion.
