Spanking much😱

This book had so much more potential. It had a good storyline. I’m all for occasional spankings in a romance book but this was a bit overdone. Spanking for every time she spoke her mind or rebelled in some small way was a bit much! And the heroine being ok with it was not ok. I wanted her to knock his block off and put him in his place occasionally and then him be ok with the fact that she got the better of him once in awhile. Anyway I loved the storyline and I’d just fast forward through her many padding’s. Trying the second one in this series. Hoping for less corporal punishment

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!

hot and steamy

This is a great book 2 (standalone) in the series. it's well written and narrated amazingly.

Jack’s narration is so HOT!

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.

fix it. want my credit back.

waist dont . no sound after chapter 3..wast of a credit...........want it back. this sucked wanted to really hear this one..

Passionate and Hot!

Delta James has created a futuristic world where alpha wolf shifters rule their packs and fight to keep them safe. I love how Ms James develops these characters. When Gareth finds his true mate, he is shocked to discover that she is a rebellious, feisty human. Needless to say, he has his work cut out for him. Sloan has no desire to become a wolf shifter so this will lead to some humorous and dangerous situations. I enjoyed watching love finally overtake these two. This is the second book of this series so we get to revisit with characters from the first book. This book can be read as a standalone, but I recommend that you listen to/read them in order to have a better understanding of the characters.

Jack Calihan is an outstanding storyteller who allows the listener to escape into this dystopian world. He gives the characters distinctive voices and makes us feel the emotions that the characters are experiencing. I love his deep sexy alpha voices. I highly recommend this Audible book. Delta James writes some of the best sexy scenes.

Love this series

Another amazing book in this series. Overlord is set in the same world as Warlord and has some intermingling characters. This is Gareth and Sloan story. This series had me laughing quite a bit. Jack Calihan made it all the better

Wonderful!

Absolutely love this story. The performance of the narrator is fantastic. The characters come alive in ways you have hear to believe.

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.

Such a Fun World

Title: Overlord

4/5

Overlord is set in the same world as Warlord and has some intermingling characters. If you’ve read Warlord then you see one of the same scenes (the climax of Warlord is the starting point for Overlord’s story). I liked how Delta James used the prologue as the epilogue to Gareth and Sloan’s story. I love the characters, especially the strong, independent females who try their matte’s patience quite frequently.

I received this audiobook for free from Audiobooks Unleashed. This is my honest and voluntary review.

Hot

Hot, fantastic and oh so entertaining. This is a book that you will need headphones and a cold drink of water as you enjoy it. Definitely worth a credit

Wow, very hot.

This book was so so steamy. I really liked the characters and the defiant attitude of the leading lady. She’s sassy and won’t let anyone walk all over her. Excellent narration from Jack.

Bloody good book

Really enjoyed this book. The story brings you into their world of dominance and submissive, where the lord will protect his lady and his people.
I have the whole set and enjoyed the strength of the characters that are brought to life with in the books.
