Loved it!

I really loved this story, the characters were great and the ending was very satisfying but what really wowed me was the narrator! He was PERFECT! His voice was emotional but not silly. I don’t know how he could read all the sex scenes out loud like that lol Bravo!

yesssss

If you like romance, alpha/ omega male/male relationship stories... then buy this! I'm about to binge the whole series!

Friends to Lovers and Second Chances

A wonderful first look into the Blackwater Pack. When Austin goes into heat, his longtime friend, Ryker, helps him through it and they find out they're fated mates. This story is full of action, love and coming together as a pack. I can't wait for the next story from Blackwater.
Narrator Nikola Muckajev does a wonderful job.

Worth a credit

Very sexy, very sensual, sweet love story mild angst definitely on the listen again list. Excellent narrator.

Nice start to a new series

This was a good story no matter what but I highly recommend reading it first rather than starting with book 1 in the series. Not only does it provide world building to help understand the framework for the series but knowing about the events and characters in this book make the next one more enjoyable. It’s not required to read it first but is well worth it.

Good

Good story, good plot, but the characters could had a little bit more character. So it got a bit flat and fast.
Enjoyably narrated

Next one please

Great start to a new series. I enjoyed everything about it. The sexy times were hot. There isn’t a lot of angst. Just a sweet friends to lovers / second chance love story. . I really digged the narrator Nikola Muckajev. I want to hear a lot more from him.

Read before Claimed By My Protector!!!

The narrator was great. The storyline was on fleek. I wanted these two together as I read the summary. BUT read this before Claimed By My Protector or Austin and Ryker's story is spoiled for you from the get-go. Loved it!

Great story

Loved this book. perfect narrator. Can't wait for the next book. Seems like I found another great author.

Second chances

This was hard fought and won second chance, but not due to the two best friend main characters. Many around the couple had their own agenda and selfish evil ulterior motives! Despite all the evil, Austin and Ryker remained solid in their love for one another and I found that commendable. The narrator did a good job .

My honest review

The narrator could of been better but I still enjoyed the story and how everything turned out especially crying at the ending

Start of a new series

I loved this Best friends to lover story. A wonderful start to a new series, can’t wait to listen to the other books.

as good as the ebook

The story is always 4 or 5 stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. It took me a little bit, to come into the narrator, but at the end, it worked. I only have to take a few breaks between. I'm just not yet finish with the book, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

Best friends to lovers...

Austin has been in love with his best friend for years. Ryker had no clue and he left for college to become the Alpha select. Great concept on a shifter world by the way. Their love brews slowly, even after a heat episode. They have problems to solve, an abusive parent, a stalker and being the new boss of a pack is not an easy task. I found it quite enjoyable.

good

interesting and sexy.. narrator did a good job with these characters.. i enjoyed listening to this story and "seeing" it in my head. very good and i enjoyed it
