Shielded Heart

The Infinite City, Book 2

De: Tiffany Roberts

Narrado por: Jamie Treselyan

Arthos, the Infinite City, is a place of alien wonders and indescribable beauty—and, most importantly for Samantha, it’s also halfway across the universe from her abusive ex-fiancé. She came to the city desperate for a fresh start, but she finds herself downtrodden on a world of aloof alien beings with little hope of finding her place—and a good chance of being kidnapped or killed before she can even settle in.

At least until she is saved by an irresistible alien with piercing eyes and a seductive smile.

Alkorin is the living embodiment of temptation, and he makes no effort to disguise his desire for her. But when his past threatens to drag her into a dangerous underworld, she discovers he isn’t who he claims to be. After enduring so much suffering, can she bear to take a leap of faith with this mysterious alien? Can she trust him with not only her life, but her heart?

This was awesome! it five you everything you need! the drama, laughter, sarcasm, lust, love, SPICE!! The man with many voices always come through. the woman's part could have been better with a real woman narrator, but my mad did a awesome job! gave me the giggles on the spicy parts 😈😈

Super fun to listen to!

I don’t even know where to start with this review because I genuinely loved this Tiffany Roberts book so much I’m a bit overwhelmed. It’s totally up my alley when it comes to sci-fi fiction for several reasons: The characters are brimming with personality, the worldbuilding/setting is awesome, fast paced action scenes that are so well described you don’t feel lost (which is honestly one of my favorite things about Tiffany Roberts, and I say this as someone who grew up on sci-fi action movies from the 80’s) and, in my honest opinion, the hottest erotic scenes from all of their works.

Jamie Treselyan is the perfect narrator and I’m so glad he is narrating the Infinite City books. He’s versatile, passionate and emotive enough you even know when a character is smiling. He has such an incredible range that every single character comes alive right before our… well, ears. lol Even his ‘female’ voices were distinct, which is quite a feat.
10/10 banter between Arc and Drakkal, too, that was super fun to listen to and his passion for narrating shows.

I’ve already said it but I’m loving these characters so damn much. Everyone has a distinct, unique personality and that makes these books so easy to get into! Samantha is very relatable; she’s sweet, a bit shy and shows her perseverance in ways I think are quite realistic. Arc is extremely charming (tbh I think he becomes even more so thanks to Treselyan’s depiction of him), arrogant and especially devoted. Oh also, awesome design, very eye-catching.

Thanks for such an awesome well-rounded story Tiffany Roberts, definitely a fav!

Fantastic

Absolutely love this book and story line. I completely recommend this book to all whom love spice.

Be prepared for unusual anatomy, heh

This story was really good overall. I appreciate that the romance took center stage but I enjoy the world-building and backstories. I wish FL wasn't such a pushover in the beginning but it's understandable and she comes into her own eventually. There is a good amount of spice in this book for my taste. I was surprised that the description of the male lead wasn't off-putting for me. He has 3 eyes and his manhood isn't quite what I had expected but it didn't bother me. I think seeing him look handsome on the cover art helps. Also, there is tail action sooo... be prepared for that.
I generally prefer dual/duet narration but this narrator does a wide variety of voices. He even does a decent job with female voices! There was only one voice that didn't work for me but thankfully she's a side character who doesn't speak much. All in all, I think he brought a lot of emotion and range. I'll seek out other books read by him.

Witty Banter

I loved the sarcastic comedic timing of Arcanthas! I laughed heartily at so many points in this one. super cute love story and great action scenes

Loved it!

I've been wanting to read this story FOREVER. The character art alone has intrigued me for a while. I can't wait to dive into the next book that continues their story.

4.5 stars

I could listen to Jaime read the phonebook.

I tried reading the first book in this series but DNF'd it a while ago; When I saw Jaime was performing this one and heard the voice he used for Arc in the sample I bought it immediately (his Shadow/Arcanthus voice is just *chefs kiss*). I have since listened to and bought the entire physical series.

I love Tiffany Roberts books so much! Where other stories would have pointless drama and misunderstandings these characters actually TALK! Y'know, like adults. Arcanthus and Sam quickly became my favorite couple ever and I've read/listened to every book just for the small bits they make appearances again.

Enjoyable Series

wow, how many voices did the narrator have to come up with for all the different characters? He did such an excellent job but judging from the accents it appears that these other worldly aliens were raised all over the Earth including, but not limited to, all parts of the UK. US, Russia, Germany, S. Africa. etc. I admit to being taken aback by one of the main Characters having a distinctive Scottish burr, but I had to appreciate that each character had their own voice.

Wickedly addicting

OMG Tiffany Roberts has done it again, they have me blown away. The characters & world they have created is such a wonderful reality getaway. The audiobook has created an enhancement to everything. The voices Jamie T. does has such a comedic edge, you get a next level connection to the characters. I can't wait to read & hear more from Tiffany Roberts and Jamie Treselyan.

Jamie Treselyan can be ranked on the level of Jim Dale

I didn’t get a chance to see it about the last book because I could really see it here. Plus in the last book I was wrapped up in my spoiler alert. Jamie is on the level of Jim Dale when it comes to really getting characters voices very distinct. By the voices, I knew who each character were in this book. It was so so awesome. And that Just add it to the overall story and words of the book. Arch is the best arrogant funny individual ever met. It was like listening to a historical romance, and he used to Duke. Jamie I don’t know where you been but I’m gonna find out one of the books you have narrated and I’m gonna get those too.
