Unique

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Yes. This is a great paranormal romance with mystery and suspense surrounding the couple.

Any additional comments?

Kyle and Stephanie's story is unique. Both are loners of a sort and their story of coming together makes a great paranormal audio book. I especially appreciate the layers of different characters that Anna (the author) sprinkles throughout her books.

Desert Fate

Kyle and Stefanie are by far my favorite couple in this series so far! The strength Stefanie has in phenomenal and the opportunity to fall in love with a friend from the past is always a great story. These two are so deep with their own emotions and struggle with the reality that they are enough that it is heartbreaking at times but so rewarding when they give in to the pull. I can’t wait to hear the next book with this series. Such a great group of shifters!

Wow! One Strong Woman/Wolf

Firstly I have to say that I read this book way back when it was first released, but I didn't remember all of it so it was a joy to listen to the story and be drawn in to the world of Twin Moons Ranch all over again. All the characters from the first two books are alive and well in this book too and add to the fullness of the world created by Anna Lowe.

The main characters in this book are Stephanie and Kyle, to people who as children/teens met and became fast friends whilst they were living on an army base, both being the children of army personnel. Kyle was living with his mother and a stepfather from hell and Stephanie was his only link to normality.

Jump forward 15 years or so and they meet again on Twin Moon Ranch. Kyle is a police officer, but he is also a changeling - a human bitten by a wolf who survives the change. He's still a loner despite belonging to Twin Moon Pack. He was in a fight with a rouge and would have died if he had not been taken in by the pack. He is their link to the human world via his job with the police force.

One morning he sees vultures circling in the distance and goes to investigate, what he finds is a total shock - he finds an unconscious woman, who he then realises is Stephanie. She too has been bitten by a wolf but at this stage of the story she doesn't know what has happened to her or what the implications will be.

The story then goes on and we find that in wolf law, one bite turns but the second bite binds. Will Stephanie be forced to go to the pack where she was originally attacked or will she want to stay on Twin Moon Ranch? Will she want to stay with Kyle? Will she grow to love what she is becoming or will she try to run from it? And what of the evil wolf who bit her without her permission in the first place - will he get what he deserves? So many questions which frankly I'm not going to answer because you MUST listen to this wonderful story for yourselves.

What I will say is that I loved this story, I love the whole series so it's no surprise but with each story in this series I am drawn further into this wonderful world created by Anna Lowe and the narration by Kelsey Osborne is the icing on the cake for me.

Following the Stars Home

Desert Fate brings Stef to the Twin Moons ranch while on the run. She doesn't know what happened, where she is, or why she should travel the direction that she is. And that's when Fate steps in and throws Kyle in her path. I really could feel the pull of Kyle's loneliness and pain listening his story. But for all that, he can still be a dense guy! I'm on team Stef – she was extremely likeable as someone that was strong, independent, could & would fight back. But also had a soft and vulnerable side. She needed Kyle, her wolf needed him. Stef and Kyle have been my favorite couple in the Desert Moon series so far. But there's still more to come!

The story while the 3rd in this series & stand alone doesn't require any of the previous stories. It was easy to listen to and very pleasurable with Kelsey Osborne as the narrator. While there was not a lot of vocal differential between all of the different characters including the those from the prior stories, Ms. Osborn made up for it in her wonderfully dramatic delivery. You could feel as if you were in front of the narrator as she wove the tales straight from the books hands.

Love this series!

Would you listen to Desert Fate again? Why?

Yes, the narration is wonderful and I love this series!

What about Kelsey Osborne’s performance did you like?

She has a wonderful tone to her voice, and draws you into the story.

Full Review -

I love all of Anna Lowe's books so far, so it's no surprise that I loved this one! In this one, Kyle comes across Stefanie in the desert, she is scared and in a panic, and he wants to help, but she doesn't know who she can trust. Stefanie has been on the run after being attacked by something she is finding it hard to believe in, but Kyle knows and offers to help her. Stefanie agrees to Kyle helping when she realizes that she knows him from when she was a teenager. Kyle and Stefanie feel a connection, but the situation is intense, so they both try to withstand their attraction towards the other. I loved the backstory between Kyle and Stef, and the romance is really sweet. I was getting a little ticked at the pack for not helping Stef more with her situation, and they really need to tell people what's what before it becomes too late, but I loved seeing some of the characters from the previous books! Stef is a tough chick, who has to handle a lot, and she did great! I loved how protective of Stef Kyle was! They have a wonderful connection, and I enjoyed reading their story! I also listened to the audiobook version, and the narrator does an excellent job! Anna Lowe's books are always entertaining, so I'm definitely looking forward to more!

The series gets better with each story.

While Cody is still my favorite hero, Kyle is definitely nipping at his heels. Pun intended. Stefanie, his love interest, was an easy character to connect with and I loved how she refused to back down. Her childhood connection with Kyle simply made their being mates a no brainer for me.

I loved the ending of the book and how they got the old bull…err, I mean alpha out of Arizona. Best part of the book, imo.

Love these wolves

I was happy to finally get Kyle's story. He has played a part in this series, as well as the Blue Moon Saloon series (which is also fantastic). He is a cop, which can be helpful to a shifter pack. He has always been a longer. He was changed against his will so he feels like doesn't really belong. He also has had a tough life growing up, you will hear about this in this book.

Stephanie was bitten by a member of another pack, also against her will. She got away from her attacker and ended up laying in the desert in Arizona, this is where Kyle finds her. Imagine their surprise when they realize they knew each other as children.

Kyle and Stephanie's story will make you growl when it comes to a head. Stephanie will also make you want to give her a Gibb's head slap when she attempts to join in the fray near the end of the book. Show some actual gumption for Lord's sake.

I am not going to tell you the story, that would be cheating. You will love it in the end.

I was gifted a copy of this book by the author. My review is voluntary.

Such wonderful characters!

Kyle is a turned wolf. This makes everything different. He grabs your heart and hods on tight. Stephanie is his mate and from his past. These two are great and this story is so good. The narration is terrific. I definitely recommend it. Love this series.

Steaming hot

Every time I hear one of Anna story's I am amazed how wonderful they are. They never fail to draw me in and I just can't seem to put the book down lol.
This story is about Kyle, he has been in almost all of the other books as a human turned wolf who works as a cop. I have sooooo been wanting him to have his story so yeah!
and Stefanie, she was bitten also and turned but the whole story is wrapped around that so I am not going to tell ya more!
The story is OMG WOW!
so full of action, Drama, twists, hotness, romance, great storyline I could go on but I think ya got the point! Lol
this author has a great eye for story details and planning and that makes for an awesome story.
It's a must and should be 10 stars!
I can honestly say I loved it and you should read it!
