Publisher's summary

I knew I'd find my mate, but he doesn't want to be claimed.

It's my job as one of the alpha's enforcers to keep our pack safe, and with war brewing, I'm busier than ever. I should be wholly focused on my job, but when Stefan crosses my path, suddenly, I'm focused on him.

I've always wanted to find my fated mate, and now, I need to convince him that he's mine. The independent omega says he can take care of himself, but all my instincts are driving me to protect him.

How can I convince a man determined not to need anyone that I'll always be there for him?

War rages on around us, bringing us together in the strangest of ways. But as the violence gets worse and threatens the safety of the entire pack, will it be the thing that tears us apart?

To be continued in the next book.
Narrator Mark Ruben does a wonderful job.

Great

This was a great story I enjoyed the storyline it was exciting and fun. The characters were great. Sephan was a super great character, Loved him. The narrator did a great job with this storyline the characters came to life. Great from start to finish.

Interesting plot

The world these shifters live in is interesting, I'd like to explore more. This books feels sort of like it's mostly setting up for the events of the next book as far a the big conflict with the humans. Ends on a bit of a cliffhanger. the romance between the two fated mates is sweet, could have developed certain parts more, but overall a satisfactory read and an intriguing story.

Good continuation

I'm enjoying the overall story in the series but Ifelt like the MCs romance got a little overshadowed by it. Narration is a little better than the first its just difficult for me to switch narrators once you get into the story.

Good-ish story.... Spoiler Alert !!!

I like the story and characters except Stephan. I disliked his character and everything he put Nick through. The worst part was towards the end when he said he was tired of Nick’s emotional rollercoaster just because he wanted to keep him safe. When Stephen was the one who kept pushing him away time and time again. Everyone kept babying Stephan and not telling him how dumb he sounds saying he doesn’t want or isn’t attracted to his fated mate. And how Cassius told Nick that he was messing up when he broke up with Stephan when once again that was Stephen’s doing and overreaction. He gave Stephan exactly what he asked for and he still got pissed. I’m not sure what the author was trying to do towards the end but it didn’t work.

Shifters, fated mates, intrigue and action!

Shifters, fated mates, intrigue and action create an engaging story.   I really liked the plot and enjoyed the MC's.  I thought the world-building was original and that peeked my interest.  The characters were interesting and i enjoyed the supporting characters.  

i was a  little disappointed in the narrator for this book.  His tone of voice just was not my favorite.    

Nic and Stefan are fated mates and have an intense connection.  I felt for both of them as they felt their way though this very scary time of being on the brink of war and finding your fated mate.  I really enjoyed their journey and how deep their connection was.  

This is book two of the Everglow Pack and i am looking forward to reading book three.   

fantastic listen

Guarding His Mate by Jenny Tia & Liam Kingsley is the second book in the Everglow Pack series. This is a paranormal m/m romance with shifters and an mpreg. A mix of angst, a fight against fate and attraction, a fight for your mate.... there was sweet moments and sexytimes too. I really enjoyed this.

Mark Ruben does a great job narrating the story. The characters really had personality and passion here. Fun and enjoyable read.

Interesting new world

I enjoyed the world building in this book and all the characters. The trope of reluctant fated mate/omega was well handled and the depiction of a world on the brink of war nicely done. I am interested to see where things go in subsequent books, but I think I will read them rather than listen if the narrator stays the same. Mark Ruben is a new narrator for me and he does a good job, character voices are distinct and easily identifiable, but the emotions struck me as a bit flat and in need of a bit more heat.

Fated Mates for the win!

I might be in the minority, but I love the idea of fated mates. Honestly, I wish it were true in real life. Sigh...Alas, I must read about it and this one had it all. The world building is enjoyable and the interplay between the characters is wonderful! I can't wait for more!

Good

Twist and turns, the story is coming together. You really need to read this series in order, to get the full scale of the storyline I'm hoping it gets even better.
first time I have listened to this narrator and he did a pretty decent job.
