Sold to the Bear

Bruno Bears Crime Family, Book 2

By: Ruby Knoxx

Narrated by: Stephen L. Vernon

Remember the movie about a rich guy offering a million dollars for a night with a stranger’s wife?

Well, my supposedly devoted boyfriend has just traded me away, not for one night…but forever.

I’m forced into an arranged marriage with a billionaire bear—and a dangerous mobster.

I’m furious. I want revenge. But my plan backfires…and now I’m expecting this shifter’s baby.

I survived my traumatic past, and I swear no man will ever control me again.

But while my childhood nightmares still haunt me, my husband-to-be torments me with different dreams….

For a man I’m planning to kill, I can’t deny that I’m insanely attracted to him.

And no matter how I try to resist him, my desire is slowly getting the better of me….

Why does he have to force me to marry him, though, when he could have any woman he wants?

I will keep my end of the bargain, of course, because a deal is a deal.

I willingly give him my body—but I will never give him my heart and soul.

Until he shows me a glimpse of the man and daddy he could be….

And I wonder: How much longer can I resist the pull of mates?

This mafia bear shifter romance is part of the Bruno Bears Crime Family series.

The Bruno Bears Crime Family is ruled by the traditional values of the Italian mafia. Blood, torture, and darkness rule the lives of its members. But light comes in the form of the primal needs and desires that bear-shifters cannot escape…to find a mate, to protect them and keep them safe at all costs.

Another engaging read from Ruby Knoxx

The narrator has a pleasing gravely voice, which really fits the male protagonist character really well. I think a female to do female protagonist character’s (Selene) voice would enhance the listening experience. But overall it was a good story and a good voice performance. I always enjoy this author’s works whether I read or listen to her books.

The gravely rock sound, isn't for me

Mr. S.L.Vernon voice is so old and gravely I could swear he smoke 24 hours a day. How are we to get into the story that's saying one thing but sounds like another. He doesn't sound like a viral muscular young strong shifter. Creepy more like a homosexual couple. That being said he can read and though slow he pronounce the words with accuracy. I won't be paying for any more books narrated solely by him.
