Perfect Sequel!!!

Why wait 3 years for such a great story to be told? I can’t say Kenneth Obi is the perfect narrator but the story makes up for his slow pace. I wasn’t looking forward to Ian’s story but now I can’t wait to see what happens next. I hope Rowe’s story is just beginning and Ian remains a subplot. Regardless, this is a great series t!!!

My Favorite of the Series

Snow and Jude are scorching together 🔥 🔥 🔥 💘! Jude is exactly who Snow needs. We get to see more into what makes these characters tick. Make sure you have tissues handy and get ready for an emotional ride.

Review Shattered

Not once did I get bored with the plot. I enjoyed the suspenseful anticipation of the next shoe to drop!

Love it!

I love this series so much. The story is so good and I love all the characters. The narrator does a really good job of bringing them to life. I can’t wait to listen to the next one!

The narration brings this story to life

After reading Shiver I fell in love with Dr Ashton (Snow) Frost. Just when you think that the man will never be able to overcome his past and hangups enter Jude Torres. This book is one of those books that keeps you interested and with the added narration of Kenneth Obi there is no wonder this book has won awards. Rinda and Jocelynn have written the most fabulous story and Kenneth makes it come to life.

Excellent series

Absolutely loved this series hands down Snow and Jude are my favorite. Loved all the characters and Mel oh Mel my heart broke for Ro actually brought a tear to my eyes, I could feel his pain. Highly recommend!! you will not be disappointed. Looking forward to Hollis and Ean story and ofcourse what happens to Ro.

Phenomenal Series

This is my second listen to this story. Wanted to re listen before starting on the audio for Fracture.

I love the character voices and their difference makes it easy to follow the dialogue and story line.

The reason for 4 stars on performance is only because the narrator has improved tremendously since this was recorded.

Jude and Snow work at the same hospital and despite Snow’s resistance to date a co-worker, Jude works his way into his bed and his heart.

So many plots going on and continuing and winding around one another. It keeps the entire series fresh with each new story.

Bring it on!

We first met Ashton Frost – Snow in Shiver, twisted up and desperate for some release, something to ground him. Keeping him together before breaking apart. This time is no different. An attack on his friends devastates them all and when he’s later framed for a horrendous murder he’s pushed to his limit. But taking it out on the hot paramedic from work is not in his plans. If only said paramedic would listen and keep away from him. Jude’s been attracted to Snow for a long time, so when the chance arises he takes it. One kiss leads to another, and soon he’s following along into the dangerous world of traffickers and past ghosts coming back for revenge.

The plot as a whole is not meant (I hope) to take seriously. It’s one to be entertained by – because the credibility factor is low, but the entertainment factor is high – on all points. Snow and Jude were great together, they made sense in every way. They were equals. For right now Jude was exactly what Snow needed to be whole, and I have no doubt that going forward Snow will do the same for Jude – he will definitely make their relationship interesting.

This book, series really, is not only about the main couple – which changes book to book. They are about a group of friends, brothers, standing together through thick and thin. Fighting together for each other. But also seeing how the dynamic changes as one after the other falls in love and brings a new person into their fold.

Kenneth Obi has done a 180 in my book (ears). A year ago I think I said I’d stay away from his narration from then on – they just didn’t work for me. Yet here I am, eating the proverbial crow, and enjoying his performance like I never thought I would. And I couldn’t have been happier about it. Obi brings this book and characters to life. He gets them, knows them – and makes you feel like it too.

There were a few instances where it was painfully obvious that a re-take was made. Where for a single sentence, the tone did not match the rest of it. This is not unique to this book per se, there are many books where you notice re-takes, but this time the difference was too much for the listener not to react to it

One moment in this book really stood out to me in every way. It’s in the alley (I think they were in an alley) behind the club after the fight. Where Snow is wound up to max, pushing Jude’s buttons and kind of aiming for a new fight – of any kind. Anything to keep from shattering. Jude on the other hand, pushes back, takes control in a way that’s new to Snow. You really feel that light coming on in Snow when he realises that was what he’d been searching for. Someone to take control over him. That moment was beautiful and Obi made it even more so. You could see, feel and hear Snow coming together under Jude’s ministrations.

Shatter was a great follow up in this series, and if you enjoyed the first book you’ll love this one for sure.
