New to the Nightfury pack, dragon-shifter Mac cannot understand the bond between his brothers-in-arms and their human mates - until the moment he spies Tania and the energy bond between them blazes to life. Driven by a primal instinct, Mac will stop at nothing to find Tania, to keep her safe, to possess her. He has no time to waste: Ivar, leader of the rival Razorbacks, hunts her, hungry for a new high-energy pawn with which to destroy the human race. Caught between the warring factions, Tania finds herself immersed in a world she never knew existed - and bound by a love stronger than time.
With Mac, her safety from Ivar and the perils of the human world is assured, but still she is left with a terrible choice: forsake the independence she’s fought so hard to achieve and reclaim the life she loves, or abandon the man who now holds her heart.

"Female Character TSTL"
First chapters have too much redundant filler fluff. Basic story was good. Male characters interesting tho the tough guy dialogue is overdone and becomes juvenile, not macho). The main female character is just Too Stupid To Live - but, of course, she does. The things the author has her think and do were just ridiculous to the point that had this been a hard copy I'd have thrown it at a wall. The author intended to make the character seem overwhelmed with love and concern, but the reasoning given for the characters actions were totally vapid. Ugh! I'm a woman and I hate it when an author has the female character act like a total idiot.The book seemed like the author threw it together and rushed the ending.
Just listened to "The Scottish Prisoner," and liked it more than I had thought I would since it was an offshoot of the main Outlander stories so I think I'll pick up another of Gabaldon's "Lord John" stories. I've read all the Outlander series so I knew the basic story in which it took place (Need to have read the first two "Outlander" books to fully appreciate).
Did a good job differentiating character voices and his pace and expression were perfect.
No.
I read the first two of this series and they were better by far than this latest book.
I"m a audible addict. My eyes have gotten really bad so I really hadn't read much in the last 10 years until I discoverd books on CD and Audible. Now I'm a fiend. Other than audio books I enjoy my family, work and dabbling on the computer.
"Wet n Wild!!"
Great continuance to a great series. I love that the author has now introduced the European faction to the story. Which gives us more background for dragon kind. I can't wait for till Book 4 comes out. The narrartor is great with the different characters. He is male so the females do sound alike but the different accents on the males is very good.
I never thought I would enjoy a fantasy book like this but it has been a great listen and very entertaining.... and hot and I do so love the dragon furies.. =].
Start from book 1... this is a series...
"Waited for this next book and wasn't disappointed"
Yet another great story from J D. They just keep getting better and better. There are quite a few threads unravelling that I have no doubt will provide more great books. I would have given Ben's amazing narration 5 stars if he'd given Wick back the cool accent he gave him in the first book. It seemed to suit his cranky character better.
"Great Addition to the Series"
Okay, let's start with the Narration - FABULOUS. This man as Mac's voice down pat. So what I want to hear and is spot on. I can give a little on the female voices cause the guys voices are dead on. LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
The story. Mac's story has been one I've been waiting for (okay, I want all the guys since I've fallen in love with them in Book 1) and I wasn't disappointed. I loved how it introduced his father and the story with him and Tania is just beautiful. I love that her attitude is epic and doesn't fail. I also loved the hidden story line with her sister and I can't wait to see how that plays out.
Now, yes....I will say that - aside from our lovely cop in book 2, the female leads suffer from a bit of victim-itise BUT I was expecting that in this book considering that Tania is suppose to be Myst's best friend, who yes by the way - I still loathe. I really have high hopes for the next female leads in the future books.
If you've been debating on this series, I'd say go for it. Couple of things to keep in mind:
1. Female leads in Book 1 & Book 2 - need to get smacked and will drive you insane. Focus on the boys..they'll make up for it.
2. There is no time gaps in her book endings and start ups. Where one book ends, the next picks right up. It's nice.
3. The world of the dragons can be a little off at times but eventually it evens out and is coming together nicely.
4. Expecting BDB? Not gonna find it here. Dragons. No Vamps. Not a one to be found. Leave your BDB comparison's at the door, honestly.
Overall I was really happy with the book and I'm highly anticipating Book 4.
A thick lawn, running water, and a tree to sit under. That's close to heaven!
"Save the heroine again!!"
Not sure!!
The first two I listened too were very very good and told an interesting tail with Acion, romance and action. A start and a bottom with very thin body!
Benjamin L. Darcie does an excellant job in the first two books, but in this one, I kept waiting for the story to develop more.
No.
"Very Happy to be reading this Series"
I loved the story and how it leads into the next charater for the 2nd book. Just started reading the 2nd in the serier....
"Just as good as the first two"
The endings are still a little abrupt but they end with the fact that the story will pick up where it left off in the next book. It gets a little mushy silly in the love and sex department but it has a good story and I can't wait for the next one. I like the fact that it has so much humor and comradery.
"Didn't disappoint"
Yes, but recommend listening to series in order. This is a good continuation of the charactors of the series. Can't wait for #4.
The introduction of new charactors into the story line.
Where Tania's car goes over the bridge and Mac puts her in a bubble of air in the ocean to save her.
Both.
Enjoying the series so far. Looking forward to the next book.
"Great Read"
Great series good romance for the ladies and lots of battles for the guys great interactions among the different character and the women have a good stong character too
"voice actor great but dialog too repetitive"
Benjamin works hard to give each character their own voice but when Coreene uses ' Solid in the head....' and 'f bomb'and lets not forget ' on your six.' Even the phrases they use about being in love are the same.3 men 3 different personalities 3 exact same language.
Not sure. Curious about the others but worried it would be more of the same.
Forge was my favourite. He had the best lines and sence of humour. I also felt his pain when ever he thought about what he has lost.
Mac and Forge. Of course you can not leave Tania out of the loop but I would focus on Mac and his relationships with those two. Then his need to belong and wonder who sired him. From there have Forge make some comment about how he couldn't be prouder if he sired Mac himself. Then the let down and beat down of a'daddy of the year'.
Story was fascinating but dialog was annoying. Voice actor was geat.
