Grayslake: More Than Mated Series, Book 3

By: Celia Kyle

Narrated by: Kendall Taylor

Length: 10 hrs and 14 mins

Publisher's summary

Half-hyena, Trista has spent years rotating between Grayslake, Redby, and Boyne Falls. When the Grayslake Itan - the local clan's werebear leader - orders a purge of all hyenas, she finds herself fighting to hold onto the hand-to-mouth life she's created. Her carefully built existence is threatened further when a gorgeous werebear strides into her life and demands not just her heart, but her very soul. She'll think about it, but not until her shift ends at seven.

Keen seems like a happy-go-lucky, sex-and-sin werebear, but that's nowhere near the truth. In reality, his inner-animal wants to go on a bloody rampage and kill half of Grayslake - just because it can. After that, it wants to claim the seductive, curvaceous half-hyena female Keen can't get out of his head. The animal doesn't care that most bears wouldn't mind a little hyena tartare for breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Nope, it peers at her through Keen's human eyes and has one thought: mate. When push comes to shove, Keen has to decide if he would rather have the family he was born with, or Trista - the woman who makes him realize that true happiness comes in a lush, hyena-shaped package.

Prejudice and treachery

urban-fantasy, angst, shifters, romance, prejudice

Being part hyena in Grayslake is almost as bad as it gets, the only thing worse is being sheltered by an Abrams in the clan leader's home by the youngest brother who has an even bigger load of baggage than the rest. She's been very poor and suffered in other ways as well, but in spite of everything they begin to heal each other. A very moving read.

Loved this story.

We get the background on Keen - finally. Trista is a prickly but likable character.
Enjoy.

Captaving story

I stayed up all night listening to the story. Can't wait for the next one.

The best so far.

The storyline in this one really captivated me. Most of the time, when it comes to the "will they make it or won't they" part, there's no real tension since you already know they'll make it. In this book though, I found myself so into the story, I was actually getting tense. I had to remind myself that they would be fine.

The narrator for these books is pretty good. She could work on having better voices for the male characters though. She does the lead male voice fine. It'll sounds like a man. The other male voices though will tend to sound less manly. Van's voice in this book sounded like a ten year old boy. Her acting and inflection though were both really well done.

I'm looking forward to the next book.

Hopefully

hopefully soon the other books that have already been written in this series will be arriving on Audible

Can I have one.

Good heavens...... Talk about tall dark and brooding. Really this one leaves you panting and craving more.

Great addition to this series!

I'm still reading the book, but I just have to pop on and say, "Poor Keen." I just feel so bad for him, for the way his brothers treat him as if he's nothing. It's just really sad.

Hopping on again to say what a jackhole Trista's half brother is. Proves exactly why some hyena's are probably part jackass.

I'm done reading now and, wow, talk about an emotional rollercoaster ride. Keen and Trista both have traumatic pasts and they have each had to learn how to cope with those pasts. If any two people are deserving of a HEA, it's these two. I'm really glad that they made the decisions they did at the end. I think it's going to be a bright future for them. Also, I'm glad that Keen's family has finally managed to get their heads out of their butts and that Trista has found new family. I got to say that I also really love the fact that Lauren and Mia don't wilt under their men or any men for that matter. Plus, I get a good laugh every time Mia shouts Language at someone. Well done to the author for writing another great story.

Well done to the narrator for bringing the characters and the story to life. I wasn't crazy about some of the voices she chose, but she still did a really good job. Looking forward to listening to the next story.

Awesome

Best one out of the series. Couldn’t stop listening. I’ve enjoyed this series but this has been my favorite book so far!!!

One of the best yet

I love this series! This is the third and this one is super sexy, a little stressful, and the only one that made me cry so far. Love. Love. Love

AWESOME

The plot, characters and setting of the story is great. I really enjoyed reading the ebook and enjoyed the audio as well. Reid has some serious problems and the way Kean’s family was clueless mirrored real family dynamics including the drama.

I would recommend to family and friends for the plot alone
