Gareth of Ravenscar and Sloan

This book is about Alaric’s brother and Sloan. Gareth really didn’t believe in fated mates until he is near Sloan, a human. He believes in punishment the same as Alaric but there was something different and more easy-going about Garenth. Once a couple are fated mates, it is impossible to ignore it. Sloan was one feisty and strong-willed little woman. Gareth marked Sloan as his mate against her will. He carried her back into the room of people with her impaled on his p*nis. Boy did he get his point across. How embarrassing! I like that we found out a little more about Garenth’s first mate (who was not his fated mate). Gareth was very dominating but not like his brother, Alaric. For some reason, I liked Gareth much more. This book moves along at a good pace and I enjoyed it a little more than Warload, although both are good books.

Jack Calihan did it again. He used just the right about of dominate tone in his voice for Garenth so that he didn’t sound as dominate as Alaric. The inflection in his voice was very sexy as usual. He did an outstanding job as always. I was given this free copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily left this review.

Loved Book 2!

Book 2 in the series was fantastic! Gareth was a great character, in many ways much more accommodating and sweet than his brother was. As always, Jack brings a lot to this performance. I loved hearing the different voices and accents between the men. I am looking forward to book 3 and can’t wait for its release!

I can’t say how much I loved this book!!! Everything Delta James writes grabs me! Her women are strong!!! They have to be in order to hold their own with these Alpha Males!
Overlord is incredible and falls right after Warlord. So good!!!

A Thesaurus of Shifter sexy times

Shifter stories aren't my norm but I can certainly see the appeal. In a world with shifters, mutants, and humans within a mid-evil societal age, this novel introduces you to several wolf-shifter packs and the perils of war. Women are expected to be subservient and submissive, brought to heel by spankings described as providing them with care and structure but leave the women feeling shammed. However, the main female characters are strong-willed, dominant, and "alpha-females" willing to risk and even accept their punishments to continue to live their lives without bowing to their fated-mates. While there is some talk of the battles and politics in this world, the majority of the novel is a grand use of virtually every sexual euphemism and synonyms for all things sexual.

Jack Calihan certainly has numerous character voices in his repertoire, the deep growly voice being the sexiest and portraying the main male lead well.

If you're not off-put by spankings as a form of shaming and punishment and enjoy the more primal descriptions of sexual encounters, I would certainly recommend this book.

I received a free audible code through a Facebook group giveaway and am providing my honest review voluntarily.

Another great book

As always, these books by Delta James are the best. And listening to Jack Calihan narrate is even better!

Love me some alpha male

I am literally falling in love with Delta James' books! I am on the newer side to this author and have loved every book I have read and listened to by her! I was glad to see Sloan got her own story and it was hot! I was so confused at the opening because it was the future and then went back? This story is not one for someone with triggers.
The narration was done perfect by Jack Calihan. His deep voice brings out the dominant male characters and he has a way with changing his voice for the female characters without making it sound akward.

Outstanding Narration!

Overlord is a super-steamy fantasy romance with a ridiculously good narration. Jack Calihan performance is outstanding, he does an exceptional job narrating this audiobook. His ability to modify his voice to best suit the characters, emotions and situation is marvellous. Furthermore, he has a very pleasing, deep, and masculine voice.

The book has some similarities to the Warlord; however, I think I like this one better. The story is well-plotted, the characters are engaging, and it's packed with spanking, domestic discipline, and male domination. The one thing I didn't like is the ideas regarding women's role in the wolf-shifter society. The customs were very primitive and not at all appealing.

Overall, if you're looking for a hot erotic romance with somewhat a historical feel to it and fabulous narration, Overlord is a fantastic choice. I was given a free copy of this audiobook at my request and have voluntarily left this unbiased review.
