Great book until it ended to abruptly. Need a chapter or two more, or an epilogue.

Easy to follow story with some hot shifters

I've now read or listened to many of Noah Harris' books and truly enjoy them all. No Regrets is a fun story about a sweet and naive omega venturing away from his family to learn what it's like to be in a pack. He finds what he's looking for not within his own pack or even species, but with an alpha from another pack. I don't know if there is a sequel yet but I'd love to find out what happens when the two opposing packs finally come together...or whatever it is that happens with them.

Unfinished story

I love a good shifter story, but this one really didn't work for me. It is very Hatfield and McCoy -- as the wolves and tigers don't like each other. So the MC do some sneaking around to have sex and admit they like each other. There is a little character development, but not much. Then it just ends, very abruptly. I can't even say it was a HFN, it just stopped. Unless there is another book with this couple in the future, I wouldn't bother. The narrator does OK job with what he is given.

Cute, and a Little Anticlimactic

Story: Adrien is a shifter new to a Wolfpack who falls for the sexy Jasper, a tiger shifter whose pack allegiance comes between them. This Romeo and Juliet style story sorta works in that it accomplishes delaying the two main characters from being together. However, the danger is dispelled rather quickly and not really resolved. The world of two shifter packs living in the same town is a good idea that at least here doesn't seem to be used for real drama.
The writing does use the shifter theme better by forcing the author to use sensory perceptions in descriptions which makes a richer story. The characters were both cute and Jasper comes off as sexy as he's supposed to, but they're also very mundane for being able to change their shape and living in a town with a rival shifter pack.

Performance: Robert Davis did a very nice job giving all of the characters a unique tone and obviously had fun with some of them. My only complaint here is that the audio quailty isn't the highest and got a little tiring to my ears.

Overall: 3.5 stars. The story is fairly tame, but it held my interest while I listened to it. I've never read anything in the shifter theme before and this book didn't convince me that there is much more to the theme than another way to impose plot barriers. I'll still try other books with shifters, but I won't seek one out after this.

One last note about sexiness: the sex scenes were some of the best parts of this book. There were some nice character moments included on these passages that told us something new while being exciting. Although, I've noticed this author likes to use the word member and that always throws me out of the story. Not sure why that's a thing still.

Cats and Pups—and MM Cuteness

Noah Harris developed a light, fun MM romance between two shifters. The story is kind of a mix between Romeo and Juliet / West Side Story themed romances and romances where a shy personality with underdeveloped social skills meets a strong, protective personality. I found myself rooting for this predictable couple and enjoying a nice, if short, diversion from my standard reading fare, and happy that I stepped away for a while.

In the beginning, I thought someone other than narrator Robert G. Davis could better portray the protagonist, but deeper into the listening experience I became convinced that Davis WAS the protagonist. Equally well done was his characterization of the other personalities. Davis projects each character distinctly, and employs good pitch, pace, and projection. Great job!
