De: C.D. Gorri

Narrado por: Mick Fanning, Elle Sonali

He’s been looking for someone to hold on to. She’s been waiting for the right guy.

This Jersey Devil has a jaded past. Too many loveless affairs, sleazy backroom deals, and an overall loss of his love for life has led Maximillian Leeds to one conclusion.

He needs a change.

What could be more different for a city slicker than buying a ranch in Northern New Jersey?

There’s just one problem. He has no idea how to run a farm/ranch/thing.

What’s he even supposed to do on a horse?

An announcement in a supernatural newsletter gets him a misfit group of lone Shifters that all have one thing in common. They each need an anchor to settle their beasts.

Good thing the Motley Crewd Ranch is fully insured.

Thinking he’s made a big mistake, Max changes his tune when he meets his fated mate at the Devil’s Food Bakery.

The pouty-lipped maker of decadent delights makes his mouth water.

Can this Jersey Devil convince the curvy baker to be his?

Well-Narrated Paranormal Romance

Both Narrators brought the story to Life. This was a wonderful start to a new Series. This story has a Jersey Devil that has to prove himself to his Grandmother to keep his inheritance. It seems it has been set in motion before he even agrees to the proposition his Cousin Avail Leeds ("Marked By The Devil") and his Grandmother Leeds has set forth. He actually has to do work, with his own hands for him to succeed. When he starts to make the ranch his own with his new shifter crew, It is like his Devil is making this "his home" and "his new, extended family" and the "new him".
Stephanie has been used by her Ex-husband and now he wants to take half her bakery business. He has constantly used her, berated her and now harassing her for more, even though he is re-married. She thinks she has wasted her chance for a husband, children and even love. Then he walks into her bakery, she feels something she has never felt before and it is strong with a feeling that he saw her and liked it.
There is a small problem, maybe a "few" small problems. He is a Jersey Devil and with no mate yet, he might loose control, she is a human with no knowledge of the supernatural......And all the complications that go with all this.
This was an amazing story, a well-crafted world and a variety of intriguing characters that I cannot wait to read thir stories in this series. The characters have uniquely wonderful personalities, have intriguing histories, and great interactions. A Must read Story!!

Loved this!!

This was a really enjoyable love story with strong narration to match. As the first book in the series, it sets things up nicely and pulled me in right from the start. The romance was heartfelt, the characters were easy to root for, and the pacing kept the story moving in a satisfying way.

This author is one of my favorites, and the narrator is as well, so it was no surprise that the experience was such a good one. I’m already looking forward to diving into the next book in the series!

Loved this Jersey Devil

Loved this story. The narrator’s are great once I started I couldn’t stop listening. Max is a true Jersey Devil and is forced to run a ranch. When he meets Penelope he realizes she is his true mate. Loved this story.

Cozy Monster read

I loved this book. I have a panic disorder so sometimes it’s hard to find a book that both has plot and isn’t too scary. This book however is that perfect spot. The characters are endearing and I can’t wait for the next books. The narrators are great although I will say even though the narrator is talented I kept hearing his voice as an old man. He didn’t quite fit the role for me but having said that I’d still listen to this book again because I liked it so much. I would recommend.

loved

hat a great start to a new book series. This story got my appetite wet for more of this Montley Crewd pack. A mixture of Jersey Devil, wolf , bear, bull, dragon shifters needing to find their fated mates to tame their wild beasts. I loved how the shifters rallied around their alpha unexpectedly and helped explain and calm his mate after she learns of shifters. Even though they squabbled, they had eachothers back. I can't wait for more.
