Otterly Scorched

De: Tara Sivec

Narrado por: CJ Bloom, James Cavenaugh

It’s been a lot of years and another lifetime since Dax Trevino was a playboy detective for the Franklin Police Department. He’s been through hell and back, and now he just wants to be left alone so he can cuddle his otters.

When two of his babies are kidnapped in the middle of the night and Claws and Effect Pet Detectives are called to the rescue, quiet, broody Dax never expects to be tackled and handcuffed by the only woman he ever regretted being a douchebag to all those years ago.

Harley Blake has spent her entire life taking care of her accident-prone father with a fondness for dead animals and her 40-year-old brother who refuses to grow up. The last thing she needs is another complication in her life, and Detective Douchebag is at the top of the list.

Dax might not be a cop anymore, and he might have outgrown his one-and-done player status, but that doesn’t mean she’s going to get burned a second time and fall for his charms. The infuriating man already branded a mark on her heart years ago, making sure she’d never forget him. Besides, she has a case to solve for the guy, and this is just business.

But the sarcasm starts flying, there are a gaggle of adorable otters who need to be cuddled, a Bandit Von Trash Panda who just wants to play poker, pot brownies, and squirrels dressed for a wedding...at a funeral. Things are heating up - and not just from the small tree fire after the grenade went off - and this man is suddenly simplifying her life instead of making it worse.

Harley knows she won’t escape this time without being "otterly" scorched.

Loved this book!!

This book had me laughing so hard at times!! Loved this story! You definitely want to read this!

So Great 👍

I loved it, I've started laughing right away 🤣 and kept laughing til the end. Would love a part 2 but haven't seen one.

otterly hilarious

I'm not sure how Tara Sivec comes up with such bizarre premises but they keep getting better and better.
If you enjoy laughing out loud, having to snort laugh as quietly as possible in public, and finding books that you can re-listen to for a quick mood adjustment then BUY this book!
p.s. The narrators are amazing too!

Otterly awesome!!

These narrators bring the story to life so perfectly. The story was great and the narration just made it better. A must listen!!!

Way More Than 5 Stars!!

This is the funniest book I've ever listened to. I loved everything about it. Never a dull moment, the story moved right along. Narration was spot on, they nailed the comedic timing. You won't regret this purchase!

Tara does it again!! ❤️

Tara never fails to make me laugh and bring in 2 of my favorite narrators. WINNER WINNER CHICKEN DINNER!!
I love the cross over of characters Dax was mentioned in Just My Type briefly and also in the Burned and Branded books. I thought sure his story would be #3 to the trilogy of Burned and Branded but I loved that she took the funny path for him. Tara is just an awesome writer, love her so much. She brings the best out of James❤️ I specifically look for books he narrates and to have Tara be the writer just makes that sexy voice even better.

loved it

Loved it !! this story. the narrator is so fantastic it's like your really there!! good overall

Adorable

I really enjoyed these characters and their animal friends. Had a fun plot! highly recommend the whole series!

Creative and fabulous

I love all things Tara Sivec and her quirky romances. I’ll admit when I read the description I was a little hesitant. The concept seemed more far-fetched than her usual. However, this book turned out to be super entertaining and a delightful listen. Highly recommend you check out these otters. Five glittery stars!

Super fun series ender

I absolutely adored this entire series. (The fact that animals were a part of it obviously made me smile even more)

This one involved Dax, the brooding former military we met in Ember and Baker's story, book 2. He is a grump for sure, and has taken over an animal sanctuary (swoon). He was also a former cop, prior to his military days. When he was, (and was a real playboy, of course) he met Harley, also a cop.

5 years after that initial meeting, they meet again. Still an animal sanctuary owner, and she's a pet finding detective. Obviously she disliked him, and he was smitten with her, blah blah blah.

Like the prior 2 in he series, the comedic banter was perfect, and the steam was about 2-3, but the banter and the story, (and probably the animals) made up for it. I'm definitely going to look for more books from this author, and clearly I'm on a rom com kick again right now.
