Awesome

I really enjoyed listening to Chasing Sam, I cant wait to read/ listen to more by this author and narrator .I recommend as must read.

Enjoyable

I really enjoyed Chasing Sam. Although I do like my books with a little more steam. The narration was great. I thought he did the accents perfectly.

Excellent Narrator

This book had a truly excellent narrator who seemlessly switches between gender voices. I was so impressed. I listen to hundreds of audiobooks a year, and this reader is one of the best I've heard. Unfortunately, he had a really weak piece of writing to read. It lacked any richness or development of character. I can tell that this author has great potential, the talent peeks through at times. I hope she spends more time on her future works. The effort will be worth it.

Love this series!!

The noble family of wolf shifters maintains the archaic sport of the mate hunt. When Sam is allowed to select a competitor, will Chase the man she met once at the airport be her savior?

Love shifter stories where the inner wolf also has a voice. Suspenseful and romantic!

Couldn't turn it off

Absolutely loved it but there should have been a female voice for the female parts.

Love it

The story line and narrator are awesome.
I can't wait to see what happens to the sisters

Heart gripping story

I loved reading this book. the narrator does an awesome job with all the different voices. the book grabs your attention and keeps you reading.

Can These Fated Mates Overcome The Odds?

I enjoyed this paranormal shifter romance. I thought that the story was interesting and it held my attention well. The book offers a entertaining blend of emotions, excitement, danger, action, romance and a bit of heat. I liked Samantha "Sam" and Chase. I thought that their fated mate connection was easy to feel. This couple had some big obstacles to overcome as their story unfolded and I was rooting for them all the way. As much as I liked this book, I have to say that I felt its length a hindrance. I felt that this story, this characters and the world they inhabit needed and deserved a deeper look. There is a lot going on in this book. From the romance, to the family drama, to this werewolf hierarchy and its customs, I just would have loved more details. While the couple themselves get a satisfactory (if soft) ending, I am left a bit unsatisfied with unanswered questions and an unresolved feeling. Still, I really liked it and am eager to explore more of this world in future releases. Only a single male narrator on this book but I found his voice pleasing and I thought he did a very good job in pulling you into the book.

Can Chase win his mate during the "Hunt" ?

A great story told exceptionally well by the narrator.
A chance meeting brings fated mates together but now he must hunt her down to win her.

Interesting wolf shifter romance!

Listened to the audio on Audible. Narrator did a good job; he did make the character’s inner wolves sound a bit creepy, but he still gave a good performance.

Loved the sweet connection between wolf shifters Samantha and Chase. Both are characters you can root for. Sam’s parents are trying to force her to mate someone of royal blood by forcing her to participate in some mating race type thing. The male wolves chase Sam through the forest and first one to catch her, mates her. Sam isn’t happy; especially after she meets Chase, who she has an amazing connection with. Chase isn’t of royal blood, but he’s willing to fight for Sam. Entertaining short story. Sam should’ve stood up to her parents a lot more; her parents are awful; especially her mom. I was also disappointed with the ending; it needed a lot more to it. Overall, a fun wolf shifter romance with a sweet connection.
