Axel's Pup

By: Kim Dare

Narrated by: Chris Clog

Length: 20 hrs and 40 mins

Publisher's summary

As the landlord of The Dragon's Lair and leader of The Black Dragons Motorcycle Club, Axel Carmichael has seen it all and done it all. He's a respected and experienced dom. Nothing shocks him anymore, and nobody catches him off guard.

When Bayden rides up to The Dragon's Lair on a bike worth more than most men earn in a year, and immediately demonstrates that he has far more attitude than sense, it's easy for Axel to write him off as a silly little rich boy who's about to get himself killed.

But, there's more to Bayden than meets the eye. He's no silly little boy, rich or otherwise, and werewolves aren't easy to kill.

Really Good Book and Narration

I really enjoy this book. It was long but engaging throughout the story. I highly recommend this book! 👍🏽👍🏽

Fun story with a little bite!

I really loved the storyline.
This story had angst, energy, fear, assurance, love, sex, tenderness, and loyalty.
The narrator was awesome, and i enjoyed the varried accents and voices.

A sexy, heartwarming read!

I don’t seek out bdsm books, but I love shifter books, so I figured I’d give this a try. Wow. Wow! This book has a really unique on shifters. And the bdsm was perfect!

I loved Axel and Baden. So. Much. They were so good for each other. Poor Baden broke my heart. He was so self destructive and prideful. He really needed someone he could trust to protect him from others and himself, and Axel was the perfect dominant for him. The romance took a while to take off. Baden and Axel had to compromise and understand and trust each other, and when they finally got there, it was great!

This book had everything I’ve been looking for in bdsm books. I loved the emphasis on trust, which was so so so important for Baden and Axel to have. The punishments were hard to read and made my heart hurt. I even got teary eyed during the emotional moments I couldn’t have anticipated from a bdsm book.

The werewolf aspects were fascinating and unique. It’s so sad the way wolves are treated. I hope if there are more books in this series, that the anti-pack laws are overturned.

The narration was wonderful. I really hope there will be more books in this series!!

loved it

While this story was not precisely what I had originally expected, I really enjoyed it.

A+++ accents!

The narrator's gift for accents is truly extraordinary. Listening to him move from voice to voice without a hitch was absolutely delightful.

AMAZING

This book blew me away. Absolutely amazing, this is what a BDSM book should look like! Do not hesitate, pick up this book now.

great author and narrator, great combo

narrator's reading was impeccable, and I've read the book several times before so I knew the author to be fantastic for the genre. highly recommended. definitely a longer one of Kim Dare's, but totally worth the read. social commentary tossed in for good measure, too. well done.

Long but worth it!!

If you are looking for a story with explicit BDSM scene after scene, move along. This is a wonderfully deep story of building trust and overcoming hesitations. Kim Dare did a wonderful job of building the relationship step by step and not missing a thing. I would 100% reccomend even if your tastes shy away from BDSM. Only one possible point could be a trigger, but even that is mollified by the caring and support between the characters.

The Best BDSM Romance I’ve Found of Any Gender Combination

The story and the characters are so good, it hooked me from the first paragraph. The way these men talk to each other and treat each other are the most realistic I’ve read in a long time, maybe ever. So refreshing!

The narrator is absolute perfection. Whether he’s voicing Axel or Bayden, it’s mesmerizing and his voice-acting skills are as good as any screen actor’s. He was able to lend another dimension to the storytelling.

And, what an unfolding of how two people from two different cultures, societies, histories, and even species learn to understand each other! The obvious reflection of our own society’s struggles with racism is amplified by the fact of Bayden being a werewolf, but the author never hits you over the head with it. It just becomes apparent as his story is told.

Lastly, THIS is how you do a slow burn. It’s intense, hot, and doesn’t keep you waiting forever. From the first encounter, it’s a steamy exploration of what a great Dom/Sub relationship is.

This is a standalone, but if there were to be a sequel, I’d jump on it. There’s so much room for learning how this interspecies couple will navigate a world full of anti-wolf laws and prejudices (not to mention, I could never get enough of their sexual interactions).

A must try!

Very well done, it was engaging storyline with just the right amount of kink.
The narrator was a good choice, just the right accent for where the story takes place.
I chose this book for the wear factor, and found a new favorite listen in my library.
