Narrado por: Simon Dornet

Can two broken shifters puzzle out their relationship and find lasting love?

Sage Rickman is afraid of everything. After suffering severe trauma at the hands of a vampire coven, the snake shifter doesn't know if he'll ever stop jumping at shadows. Discovering his fated mate is a feral dragon shifter just might be his undoing.

Garridan Arach has been set free. Not only has he been imprisoned for years but he's also been stuck in his dragon shifter form. If his human and dragon sides can't merge, not only will he lose his mate, but he might lose his new clan to the coven who held him captive.

With the enemy stalking Sage, healing is impossible. And it's not just his sanity at stake but fate of the whole town.

Contains mature themes.

Great fantasy, with realistic relationships.

This is a fun story. Lots of fantasy aspects, that are well thought out, without belaboring the point with over detail. The trauma into relationship is also well done. Neither 'magically healed by a good dicking' nor stuck in an endless trauma loop that never seems to improve. Somewhere in between that works well. The healing is gradual, but there is healing. And it was cool to see how the MCs navigated those challenges and figured out how to manage them and still live their lives.
The secondary characters had depth and established personalities that they stayed true to. It never felt like they were there just because the author just needed someone to say/do something to move the story along.

The narrator did a great job. Lots of variation in character, but his voice stayed consistently pleasant to listen to. The MCs were distinctive from each other and everyone else, and realistically emotive too.

Is it my new favorite? No. But I enjoyed it a lot and I am looking forward to the next one in the series. Overall, a good listen. Especially for that price.

Boring

Just not my cup of tea, so to speak. If you like this pair of authors and their writing style and choice of subjects, ignore my opinion.
