By: Bella Drake

He’ll do anything to defend her. She can’t stay away from him. With sexual tension high and danger even higher, will desire lead to disaster?

Shapeshifter Cole Masters ferociously protects his community. Sent in to defuse an escalating hostage situation, he and his fellow SWAT members pull out all the stops to save the innocent victim from his brutal captors. But he’s shocked to scent his fated mate at the crime scene… standing on the side of the kidnappers.

Maya Danvers is desperate to talk some sense into her brother. After her attempt to right his wrongs lands her in an interrogation, she struggles to bury her attraction for the handsome operative demanding answers.

Shouldn’t she have bigger concerns than the sexy agent? Trying to keep his supernatural identity a secret, Cole fears that when they both come under fire, their explosive chemistry will shatter. But when Maya attracts the wrong kind of attention, there’s more at stake than hiding his nature. There’s nothing he won’t do to protect his true mate.

Great narrator's!

The narration was great. Loved both narrator's ability to convey the emotions of the characters. Can't wait to listen to the next book!

Love it

I can’t wait for the next book- could have been a bit longer and do without the intro to next book

Great

I really liked this audiobook. However, I loved the narration! I wish more authors chose to do the back and forth from male to female voices like this.

24 hour romance

Other than the epilogue, the entire story takes place in the span of a day, so you’ll need to be able to roll with Maya going from being to kidnapped to sleeping with Cole that very night, to learning he’s a shifter and she’s his mate the very next day. Ditto to danger plots that only exist to promote the romance;
don’t expect for it to be plausible or for there to be any real set-up or explanation for multiple attacks.
You also need to be okay with him calling her “babe” and referring to women as “chicks” and generally being your stereotypical man’s man.

The romance side is equally light speed, with two sex scenes that are explicit but over before you can say wham-bam-thank-you-man!

I liked the duet-style narration and the camaraderie with the team of shifters. I just wish there was more. The story was merely a list of all the standard shifter romance tropes strung together.

The story is good. I'm narration of the woman could've been better. I'm not sure if they were trying to go for a southern accent but it wasn't good.
