My Viking King

Great story, Exciting and full of intriguing twist .I loved it . I cannot wait to see where this series will go next.

Entertaining, quick to passion, fun ideas!

Listened to the Audible verison. Enjoyed the female narration. Male narrator was a bit too nasally for my liking. Overall, a good listening experience. Quality recording.

Love that the story gets right into the action. Bailey has been in hiding from some really terrible person; she’s has to keep moving places and live with very little. Her apartment is destroyed and she must leave, but she has little money to do so. Plus, there is another evil person on her tail. Luckily, Vampire Erick, is in the right place to help her. She ends up staying with him in Sanctuary, Texas, where a lot of paranormals live. A lot of this world is new to her, but she is aware of some things. The whole world in this book seems to be a pretty cruel place. Lots of danger going on.

Erick and Bailey have some good passion; very quick to the romance department for these two. I didn’t quite feel the full connection between them, and I wasn’t a fan of the BDSM type scenarios added; they felt misplaced for Bailey’s character. Still some great sweetness between them though.

I enjoyed the whole town dynamic; all the different paranormals, fun and entertaining. Some cool magical ideas; wish I had clothes that magically sized perfectly! Overall, an enjoyable story; darker than I expected, but entertaining. Interested to check out more of this series!

This series has potential

My Viking Vampire Book 1 of the Sanctuary, Texas series.
I really wanted to love this book. It has a great plot. I enjoyed the premise of this book, I felt like if given more details it could’ve really gone somewhere great. A lot of characters are introduced in this 1st book that I want to read more about however The actual writing style of the author bothered me some. The main characters rushed into their relationship in less than 24 hours which is completely unbelievable. I know this is a paranormal fantasy however some real life perimeter still need to be set. I also wish that the author had taken more time to discuss what led to the “Others” being discovered and the history of what happened to the USA to bring it to the point it is now. I am intrigued enough to give the next book a chance and I’m hoping it gets better.

I did like the narrator for this book she did a good job of differentiating her characters.

Love this story

I loved this story. The characters were great. Loved how strong Bailey was from life experiences.
The only thing to make this experience better was if it had more of the dual POV. Instead of the occasional dual POV.

Loved Bailey and Erick!!

This was the first ever book I read by this author. And to now hear it told to me by narrators is fantastic. Amazing they do an amazing job at narrating. This is a paranormal lovers dream. It gives us so many Other worldly beings all in one place. This story is in the future and some states now allow others to coexist peacefully. Bailey Ross is running from an abusive ex and ends up in a bus station smelling horrible and hungry. Enter one Djinn named Marcus who is wanting to get at her for some reason but then Erick appears. He is a protector and Vampire and offers to take her to his home in Sanctuary. This is where we are introduced to so many other beings. Knowing she does not have much choice and needs to hide she agrees to go with him. So much happens and I am not going to give you spoilers so let me just say. You don't want to miss out on this!!!

Great book

The author is introducing as into a new,interesting,refreshing and hot as hell new world.
It's refreshing to read something new and the author is giving us exactly this...a new refreshing story with all the supernatural we can have and an amazing world building.
I loved the book and i loved the characters and i loved the new world.
Erick is an alpha male Vamp ready to protect and give his all
Bailey is not the typical kind of girl...she has been through hell and she is a fighting for her life woman literally!
As always the book can't stand witout having a bad one...well here we have lots of bad ones!(woooohooo)

Then we have Dragons,weres,pixies,sprites,lamassus,oracles and a whole interesting world filled with supernaturals to meet.
Every time i read a book which either has lots of bdsm scenes or little i have this insecurity that people still confuse things between violence and what bdsm truly is.I think that the small bdsm scene that the book had should be more clear on the fact that the psychological scars that bailey had can't be solve through a scene but with love and long term caring and working the issue out.
Of course i know its not possible to do this in a book but for my piece of mind and so that some people don't think that bdsm can solve such difficult issues in a blink of an eye i would like something more in that already powerful scene

I really loved the idea with the 2 narrators.They did a really great job bringing the characters to life and i truly loved the accents!

I was given a complimentary copy of this book and decided to leave an honest review.

Wow!!!

I really enjoyed listening to this book, loved the characters and the story line! This is the first book in the series, I recommend as a must read or listen! Cant wait for the next book in the series!!!

Hearing the story brings it to life

Awesome story..loved the book , but listening to the story made it all that much more. The complex life
of Bailey and she runs from one life into another to have a Jinn after her to running into and falling in love with a vampire.
You should listen and see what you think of her life. As humans don;t know about these people being different A great start to the series. I can't wait to hear the next one.

Simply Fantastic!!!!

Set in the future, magical beings are persecuted, or find a home in regions such as Sanctuary. When a 4 year run from an abusive ex find her now being pursued by a Jinn, our heroine finds refuge in Sanctuary also.

Her protector is a sexy vampire, who reawakens her libido, and raises hopes for a future without fear.

Excellent premise, great characters. Reader becomes a part of this small town with many secrets.

HEA

I loved this story. It is action packed with a HEA. The female narrator reads the majority of the book. The make reads just the last chapter.
