Publisher's summary

After losing his father and finding out his boyfriend had been cheating on him for months, Kael runs away from home, determined never to step foot back in that part of the world again.

Now, he's in a small town, determined to reinvent himself and give up men completely. At least, until a hot ginger alpha sweeps him off his feet with the love and affection he's always craved. Things quickly get serious as a string of mysterious murders forces them closer together, and Kael is left wondering if this is truly his second chance, or just another mistake waiting to happen.

Warning: This spicy shifter romance contains jaw-dropping twists, second chances, sizzling sex scenes, a cinnamon bun alpha, and a happily ever after that will leave you speechless. It should only be listened to by those who like their werewolves hot, and their broody boys shown the love they deserve.

listen too it on a faster speed

i bought this book on a whim so i was unsure about it , And on normal speed it didn't do it for me but once i sped it up i really enjoyed the story and the narrator , it was witty and sweet , i also bought it on whispersync so it was worth the price

Great book I just wanted more!

First off this book is definitely worth the credit. It has such a cute story line and the ending is wrapped up nicely. Definitely worth the credit in my opinion. I only had 2 complaints. 1-I had to speed up the audio to really enjoy the narration. 2-I felt like the ending of the story could have been more detailed. I was left just wanting to know a little more detail, I felt like it was rushed a little bit. All in all a good listen!

Am I supposed to like this main character?

It's never a good thing when the protagonist of a romance novel rubs you the wrong way right off the bat, but holy hell does Kael annoy the crap out of me in the beginning of this book, starting with being snarky and obnoxious to low wage customer service employees. Shortly after arriving in town, he meets Chance, his fated mate or true love or whatever we're calling it in this universe, and is incredibly rude to him almost from the get go for no reason. Now there's nothing wrong with a protagonist being a jerk, or at least starting out that way, but I honestly don't think the author realizes what a jerk he is, or if we're supposed to think he's righteously angry at Chance somehow. Chance makes one offhand comment that Kael doesn't like and you'd think Kael caught him kicking puppies for fun. Soon accusations of "mansplaining" are being thrown around and, look, "mansplaining" is a dumb and sexist accusation under the best of circumstances, but even leaving that aside, it certainly doesn't apply here, where (1) both people involved are men, and (2) Chance was directly responding to a question that Kael had asked. He continues being irritating and rude and if Chance were smart, he'd run in the opposite direction, fate be damned.

I'd like to think Kael gets over himself at some point but why on earth would I want to continue listening to a book from the perspective of a spoiled, whiny, entitled snarky creep?

Narration is perfectly competent. I'd be happy to buy another audiobook he is involved with, which is more than I can say for this author.
