Big Bad Claws

The Fever Brothers, Book 2

By: Michele Mills

Narrated by: Lauren Sweet

Length: 4 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's Summary

He’s big. He’s bad. His claws are epic.  

Frantic to avoid detection, Lila hides for the night in a condemned outbuilding on the edge of town. She checks each bunk for comfort and rests on the one with a strangely enticing scent and falls into an exhausted sleep. 

One problem - this place isn’t abandoned. Miners actually live here. And she’s chosen Zayzon’s bed. The loudest, tallest, and most sharp-clawed out of a band of tragically messy Xylan brothers who can’t clean to save their lives. And he keeps standing much too close. And sniffing her hair. And muttering something about mating compatibility. 

Whatever. 

She’s just that desperate, so she offers to become their housekeeper if they’ll let her stay. The brothers accept, and Lila cleans up their freaking mess, relieved to have somewhere safe to live. Meanwhile, Zayzon keeps insisting that she continue to sleep on his bunk. And she keeps accepting! Because it’s getting harder and harder to deny her attraction for his possessive gaze, razor-sharp claws and his large...um, personality? 

But Lila can’t fall for anyone, even a scary male who turns out to be cuddly. Not when demons from her past are about to return for their down payment. 

Can a human save an alien miner’s life, without breaking his heart?

Suspense and romance

Love the Fever brothers. They are so alpha and so protective and possessive of their mates and Zayzon was the same with Lila. This story felt like a version between Snow White and Goldilocks. Keep them coming. I am voluntarily reviewing this Audiobook.

Great!

Oh, Claws sure had me laughing and blushing at times. I love how he doesn't mince words and knew automatically his mate was near. I thought his brothers were hilarious! I did have a hard time with Lila at times because she would sound repetitive at times during her inner dialogues. I did like their pairing and their chemistry and found myself unable to stop listening because I wanted to get to the end. The narrator did a great job of trying to convey all the different characters.

very good as always

I would recommend every book I've read or listened to by this author. She does a good job of mixing romance, comedy, and hunky aliens.
small spoiler-

This book has a bit of the snow white fairy tale but don't take it for granted which way it will go.
The narrator is still very good too.

Re: where is the first audiobook

Where's the first Fever Brothers book, this is not the first time I've seen this with audiobooks where they leave you with starting in the middle, I would like the whole series of possible in audiobook

Fever Brothers Forever

Once again, Michele Mills provides a sexy and fun, laugh out loud story! The narrator is amazing, allowing you to fall into the story completely. Can't wait to listen to the next one!

Below expectations

Audible doesn't have book 1 available so I assumed it wouldn't matter much with what I expected to be erotica. Nope, it's confusing to almost distraction because of the race class system and the maybe sorta shifter alien mates.

This book was cheap and it should be since it is so very short. The last 40 minutes wraps up the story with all the sad sex and none of it was well written. Really no payoff to the story, the brothers are all lame so I have no desire to continue with this series. It has good bones, but even most skeletons do too ☠️

Save your money/credit and check out Milana Jack's or Ruby Dixon's series if you want a Alpha brothers series. Seriously, Alpha Horde at least gives what this series is clearly lacking plus Omegaverse... what's knot to like about that

not bad

Not a bad book. The story kept my attention and the male character sounded appealing, however, it was a drawback for me with the female doing something stupid to put herself in danger. I did like her trying to keep him safe thou.

Loved it

This audiobook had me laughing, blushing and covering my face a few times. This everything I want in a story.

Love

This is one of my favorite Michele Mills books and I loved listening to it while prepping for Christmas. Lauren Sweet really brought it to life and kept me engaged even though I am easily distracted listening to audiobooks.

Strong alpha men ready to protect!

This is a serious and fun book to listen to and enjoy. The narrator does an excellent job of portraying the emotions that the characters experience. She displays her talent by giving the male and female characters distinctive voices. The story held my attention from the beginning to the end. Due to circumstances beyond her control, Lila must flee to another planet. She seeks refuge in what she believes is an abandoned house. I enjoy how the author develops the character and plot development. The interaction between Zayzon and Lila is sensual, fun, endearing and guarded. The sexual scenes are explosive. I highly recommend this Audible book.

3.5 Stars

3.5 stars This was giving me very heavy Snow White vibes. Evil stepmother, finding a ramshackle abode in the woods (albeit on another planet) 7 people living in the same house...you get the picture. Add that onto the whole fated mates aspect and it was enough to keep me listening. I think Ms. Mills hits a nice niche for me when i'm in the mood for an sci-fi romance but don't want to get bogged down with world building.

Great Story & Narration🎧 A Fascinating Delight!

This is my first Michele Mills’ book and consider me wowed, she is a gifted author with a creative and imaginative mind. She created a wonderful, out of this world, SciFi Romance with interesting storylines that are captivating from start to end. The fascinating characters are easy to relate and connect with. I adored the lead female character, Lila, her character growth was remarkable, she starts off as a weak and fragile person with issues, the rug gets pulled out from under her she needs to learn to cope and survive. Sent to a planet unknown she finds a place to hide out, thinking it was abandoned, she was surprised to find that was not the case, other surprises came her way too. One being in the form of a big, scary male Xylan named Claw, aka Zayzon. Thankfully Xylan’s were allies to humans unbeknownst to her Zayzon was much more than her ally he was her intended mate. I loved how everything plays out in this book, the story is cleverly plotted and there is never a dull moment. There is plenty of drama, some action, angst, twists and turns, thrilling and suspenseful moments, heartfelt and emotional ones and a wonderful romance. Michele Mills, thank you for this wonderfully entertaining story, I am looking forward to checking out more of your work.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Lauren Sweet is a talented narrator and versatile voice artist. She does an awesome job portraying the characters, bringing them to life and humanizing them with their emotions and personality.

Great scyfy book, with a lot of Fun, family and Sex. The speaker had an accent, but after a while it was easier to listen. Love Michelles Books.

A nice easy listen

This was a great book to listen to and switch my brain off. Though set in a different world etc, it was really easy to follow. I felt invested in the characters and the writing flowed well.

Narration was spot on.
