Wow, I am hooked!

This series is really complex. The women in the series overlap in the progression of the tale. Can't wait to start the next one. I think the narrator is doing a fine job as well. Those accents are authentic enough for me!

Fantastic Wolf Shifters Live

Where does The Strip rank among all the audiobooks you’ve listened to so far?

It rates in the top ten of all the audio books I've listened to so far.

What did you like best about this story?

The way in which the different characters were blended to actually seem alive. The way that it was infused with the different major attractions on the Strip of Vegas.

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

What Happens in Vegas doesn't always stay in Vegas.

Good ending

As I type this I do get why a woman author would write about torturing a woman character. It’s not my cup of tea or what I dream of. Strong confident men, yes plz, being dominated by one or needing rescuing by one, no thanks.
Pretty good ending though, if the rest of the stories descriptions in this series were about the “team” put together at the end and their exploits then I’d continue the series, but it appears it’s mostly more of the same, 2 characters finding their mates and deciding if they want that mate after having negative feelings about them. Sigh…

okay experience better then the first book

Would you listen to The Strip again? Why?

Might listen to this again. The series is starting to pick up the pace but for some reason this narrator just drags for me. I can see him doing another story better or maybe it's the director. I'm still on the fence if I'll try other in the series.

They Just Keep Getting Better!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Strip to be better than the print version?

Yes! I love the different accents utilized throughout the story.

What did you like best about this story?

Malcolm finding out that his mate "wanted him". He didn't just steal her.

Which scene was your favorite?

The motorcycle crash scene as well as Charlie hurting Seth twice in the car.

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

The Bands of the Wolf

Any additional comments?

I'm eagerly anticipating listening to the rest of the series.

Warning - Violence against woman

Overall it is OK Story. The big issue that there is segment in which protagonist is stripped naked & whipped. So it is not a “nice / cute Hallmark meets Twilight” story.

A delight

Great characters and plot. I have read all the books multiple times and it fascinates me, that as I have enjoyed these many times over I continue to again and again. Each character had their name an personality and the writing is excellent. I highly recommend this series.

Brutal aspects that will disturb some

This book has lots of action and a very strong Heroine. However, it also contains lots of violence and even scenes of torture. Anyone that is sensitive to scenes that contain violence against women should skip this series. There is even a scene where the Heroine invites a physical struggle with her chosen lover. It is done, I believe, as a way to parallel the characters, that are ware wolves, with the mating rituals of the animal world. Be that as it may, it will likely upset a sensitive soul. In these books, there is little time dedicated to the romantic aspects, of the story, so if that’s what you enjoy, choose a different paranormal series.

A Real Suprising Series

This series as been a very enjoyable surprise so far. In this installment, Cole and Charley are the main characters, but its a continuation from the first book in the over all story line. I am glad to see Cole find his true dormant and to get the rest of his story. I found Cole to be an interesting character in the first book as well. Charley's story is a real surprise as well! Very good action and I loved all the "little" secrets that are being revealed with each book. But there are still a lot of stories to be told and secrets to be revealed. I hope you enjoy this series as much as I do.
