Firefighter Griffin

De: Zoe Chant, Helen Kestrel

Narrado por: Lucy Rivers

Single mom Hayley Parker has always had to face every parenting challenge on her own - but when her five-year-old son unexpectedly turns into a lion cub, she finds herself with more than she can handle. With her little boy stuck up a tree and yowling for help, the only thing she can think to do is call the fire department....

Ex-firefighter Griffin MacCormick has the heart of a lion and the eyes of an eagle - literally. As a unique shifter with two inner animals, his battling beasts are slowly tearing his body and soul apart. Forced to retire from the elite all-shifter Alpha Team by his degenerative condition, he struggles to be content working as a dispatcher...until one day he takes a call that will change his life.

When Griff meets Hayley, both his lion and his eagle instantly recognize her as their one true mate. But how can he ask Hayley to risk her heart on a dying man, when she's already been abandoned once in the past? And when Hayley's arrogant lion shifter ex unexpectedly reappears on the scene with a horrifying demand, how can Griff protect his mate and her cub?

Surprisingly good

Good story, interesting characters. There is drama, but it’s not contrived, and it’s not just people standing in their own way. It got me in the feels several times. I think this is my first time with this author, so I didn’t go into it with any particular expectations. It seems well written for the most part, but there are a few times where I feel like the editor dropped the ball. Similarly, narration was overall good, as far as reading ability and vocal intonation. One star off for the Scottish accent, which was not good at all.

Fantastic! Worth every credit (bought them all!)

This entire series ("Fire & Rescue Shifters", not to be confused with Chant's "Wildfire" series which I haven't yet tried) is fabulous. The books all have LOL moments, and I had to stop to share bits during one or two of them so many times that I thought my son might strangle me. lol

They CAN be read out of order, but I found them much more enjoyable, even the second time through, IN order. You know a lot more about the relationships between the characters (which ia a big part of the fun), and what their skills and personalities are like. At the end of one I was even in tears form being so happy how it had turned out.

The narrator makes these TWICE as good. Can't wait for her--I hope (crossing fingers)--to do the next in the series.

mannnnnn that was some angst for a hot minute

usually these paranormal/shifter romances are pretty easy to believe in the happily ever after throughout the story... this one gave me pause for a minute. it was good and I enjoyed the dynamic between kiddo and MMC... but yikes does the author throw you some curve balls!

Good story

I liked the story but I wont lie I jumped ahead maybe 2 or 3 times because certain things got repetitive. I would love to hear a continuation of their story centering the lil boy and his new siblings hehehe.
Another thing that erked me was the shifter laws and how they treat women or human women. It was disrespectful especially seeing how she could not decide or do anything without a man.
The narration was done well and I liked the accents

A great fantasy ride.

I really enjoyed this book. The ups and downs the struggles . Ms. Chant Is building the characters that I care about and a world that I look forward to revisit many times.
