By: J. D. Tyler

Narrated by: Kirsten Potter

Length: 9 hrs and 46 mins

Publisher's summary

After a massacre decimates half his team and leaves him crippled, Jaxon Law must relearn how to fight-and battle the anger and guilt threatening to overwhelm him. But when he rescues a beautiful woman who awakens his primal instincts, Jax is unprepared for the dangers that lie ahead.

On the run from her employer, brilliant lab assistant Kira Locke has evidence that leads the Alpha Pack on a hunt for someone targeting human civilians with Psy abilities. And as Jax and Kira circle both the killer and each other, Jax will have to decide if the deep connection he feels with Kira is worth breaking the ultimate shifter rule-because bonding with Kira means putting his abilities at risk, and they might be the only tools he has to keep his mate alive.

Critic reviews

"[Fans] will fall head over heals for the Alpha Pack!" (Angela Knight, New York Times best-selling author)

Awesome Wolf Pack Series..... instant download

This book was soo awesome... I have re-listen to this like 20 times... so my review is kinda late... but an instant download for all of J.D. Tyler's wolf pack sereis...

This series have totally alpha male wolves who were once in the Navy Seal, they got bit by rouge werewolves and now they work for a secret branch of the goverment to stop all the paranormal criminals...

They each have gifts beside being wolves, like this book is about Jax who is a pre-cog, with a bum leg... Jax's girlfriend Barrel betrayed him and his team of Alpha pack and got their leader and a few team members killed....

6mths later, Jax finds his true bond, Kara and brings her to Alpha pack base, with their new leader Nick and the rest of the Alpha pack team. He don't know Kara is his true bond mate, but he gets all ALPHA possessive about her.

It is filled with action, love and smex! I love the smex, wolf style... I gobbled this down in one setting. So different from other wolf stories... The plot don't really center around them being wolves, but it actually does because they are called Alpha pack. The way it's written, you hardly even notice the wolf thing... it more about the plot and action surround the wolf pack. Loved it!

Narration was top notch. So many voices, for so many characters. You can totally tell who is who just by the voices used. I mean Potter is a pro, a real pro. Just to even have Potter narrate means, you know this is gonna be one great book. Potter is one of those narrators who seem to only narration awesome books, like Xe Sands, Shirley Rae and Jim F.

This is a buy, credit or sale. Either one...you can't go wrong!

Good story but....

I liked the book a lot but the intimate scenes are more like porn then romance. You can tell they’re written by a man

excellent listen from the beginning to the end...

What did you like best about this story?

lots of fun paranormal stuff :)

Was there a moment in the book that particularly moved you?

The love.. all the love making :)

Any additional comments?

I'm looking forward to listening to the rest of the series :)

SUPERNATURALLY GREAT!

What did you love best about Primal Law?

The whole concept behind it, I think was what I loved!

The idea of the bonds shifters have with a "mate". The concept and how it all happens is really what grabbed my attention.

I struggled, like Kira, with the idea that you aren't really given a choice, but you begin to realize that it becomes so much more than that...and like Jax put it "you always have a choice".

What other book might you compare Primal Law to and why?

I honestly haven't read a book like this. I guess the closest things that I have read would be the Sookie Stackhouse books.

The only reason I would compare it is due to the amount of supernaturals in each. From shifters to fae, to gremlins, to witches, to vampires, and so on. There are a lot of different types of people introduced.

And like Sookie, Kira is thrown into this world and is forced to adjust to so much in very little time. However, she fits right in...and falls in love in the process.

Which scene was your favorite?

Don't want to give too much a way...but I couldn't pick just one! Read at your own risk. :)

I would say the first fav was the bonding moment between Jax and Kira...you know will happen, but everything it takes to get there is a lot. I was so glad when it finally did!

I also loved when Kira shifts for the first time. It was a great scene! :)

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes...I would listen at work if I could multi task like that. I was so anxious to finish...but didn't want it to end all at the same time!

Any additional comments?

After getting through the first half at least...you can sort of predict how it will end, except for the last couple minutes. I would not have guessed!! It will be interesting to hear what happens next.

It is very primal in how things are said specifically with the love making, but despite that, I really liked the book! It is called "Primal Law" for a reason I guess! :)

Kirstin Potter was great! I have listened to the Scottish Maya Banks books, so this one seemed a little different for her, but I still love her!

Bring on the next book!

Love it!!

Maybe I have a better ability than some to suspend disbelief, but I really enjoyed this story. Yes, the combination of SEALS/shifters/psy abilities seems a little like obvious catnip, but I guess I like catnip! Besides, if that is all that holds a book afloat, it will sink. That is not the case here: The story was good and left me wanting to know what happens in the next book. And for me, any book will sink if I do not like the characters or they are poorly developed. I thoroughly enjoyed Tyler's characters, and the supporting cast members were great! Sarial and Kalen...I really want to know what happens to them. Oh! And Kristen Potter is magnificent in everything I have heard her do so far.

Wow!

This was actually really great. This was the first book I read in this man-animal category. I was scared it was going to be cheesy. But nope. Great listen! Going to listen to the next book in the series.

Excellent

Loved this series! Has heart and romance adventure sex, the narrator fits this story! I will get all in this series

Mediocre shifter story.

Unfortunately this was one of those books that just didn't float my boat. I like the background that was created, but the characters just didn't get me all that excited. Although I didn't hate the characters, I just didn't like them overly and was debating to even finish the book. I mean the first sex scene had Jax smelling of another woman, and like an idiot Kiara didn't even blink an eye when she jumped into bed with him. It didn't feel sexy to me, but a wham, bam thank you ma'am. The second half of the book was an improvement and I might be willing to try the next book, but I will probably wait for a sale. Of course I have read/listen to much worse and stayed the course. The narrator was wrong for the part, although she did a good job it just seemed like she wasn't the right fit for these characters. I do like shifter books and I recommend Suzanne Wright, Thea Harrison and Nalini Singh.

Great Start Need more

For the first book in the series this was great a little love sex and action. Has a good ending and a great setup for the serise. I'm looking forward to each team member finding there mates and wins the war.

Best shifter series I have ever read

It took me forever to listen to this book, I have had it for about 7 months but other things just kept popping up and I wasn't sure I wanted to get into another series...well THAT was the wrong call!

This book was great! There were hot alpha males, action packed drama, a medical side of shifting, a mating side of shifting and hot hot hot scenes! The characters were wonderful and so was the plot. There was one thing in the book I really didn't like...how does a seer not SEE the big picture? Or how an op will go? That part annoyed me, but I am off to book 2!

Credit or buy, it's that good!
