Tangling with Trolls

Haven Ever After, Book 2

De: Hazel Mack

Narrado por: Mason Lloyd, Mia Barron

A month ago, I had no idea that monsters lived in hidden towns.

Surprise! The tiny New England town of Ever is a haven for them. Vampire brothers run the coffee shop. Werewolf bikers will fix your car. I can sort of wrap my mind around that.

But then I meet Ohken Stonesmith, a bridge troll and all-around badass. He's way older than me, crazy confident, and he owns the town's only flower shop. In short—he's my ideal man.

The second surprise? I'm a green witch! When I struggle to use my newly discovered magic, Ohken offers to teach me, although his methods aren't exactly conventional. He's a big fan of teasing me and making me crazy enough to get out of my own head. As our lessons grow more heated, I realize I'm falling for not only this wacky little town but also the quiet male who's my biggest cheerleader.

Unfortunately, not all monsters want to live in peace. When evil sneaks past Ever's protective wards, I want to help. The problem is I keep blowing things up instead of fixing them. I've got to get control of my power fast, or Ever—and my budding romance with Ohken—will be in deep trouble.

Well written easy fast read read with some out of the box spicy scenes and a lot of attitude. The narration is duet and well performed. Fun read or listen !

The heroine: Wren - she is a tall and curvy girl and recently found out she is a green witch (a witch that is good with the natural world, specifically growing things). She is one of three sisters (triplets) who were drawn to the town of Ever. When they arrived, they found out that monsters exist, and the town is one of many Havens where monsters can live and be themselves.

The Hero: Ohken - He is a Troll who lives in Ever. He owns a general store in town as well as a flower shop. He is also on the town council and does some work for a few other people around town. He is eight feet tall, muscular, and dominant. He has wanted Wren since she first came to town.

The Story: Wren has had a crush on Ohken since they first met. The two of them have flirted with each other from the start, but in this story, he finally asks her out and they are inseparable after that. There are some issues though, stemming from the fact that he is a troll and so much larger than her. Wren is curvy and nearly six feet tall herself, but Ohken is about two feet taller than her and muscular to boot and all of him is much larger than a human male. Some magic is needed to make the two of them sexually compatible. Luckily Trolls have the knowledge to brew a certain magical potion that does the trick after they each drink it for a few days.

I am not a fan of the BBW type of book, especially in such steamy stories. Wren is a self-confessed fat person; she is proud of her body and even wears t-shirts that shout it to the world. My problem in this book was that I pictured a fat woman and a tall muscular green man getting it on and I didn’t like those pictures in my head. Maybe that makes me a bad person, but we don’t have chubby Heroes, so why do we need to have chubby heroines? It didn’t help that her curves were mentioned often in this book, and they didn’t always use the word curvy, they flat out said fat more than a few times. Other than that, I did like the story quite a bit and I really like this world of monsters.

This audiobook was in dual points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Mason Lloyd and Mia Barron. I really enjoyed the narration and like both of these narrators. Mason Lloyd has a deep, clear voice and Mia Barron has a soft, feminine voice that is very pleasant as well. This book was steamier than the previous book, which I expected when Ohken was portrayed as such a dominant male.

Hits me right in the hopeless romantic!

I love the series so far! Lots of cutesy flirting
And a good amount of spice!

Great story. Very unusual romance

Very well written story with a good backstory about romance with humans and monsters. Can’t wait to read the next book in the series!

Wren and Ohken

Narration: Same narrators as book one. Dual narration. Did a good job of changing voices enough from book one to make unique for these characters

Story: This is book two in the Haven Ever After series and must be read in order. This story focuses on Wren and her mate Ohken. I appreciated how Wren had to work a little harder for control of her magic. It didn’t just happen like it did for Thea. She definitely eventually gets her bad ass witch moment though which was great. The series plot progresses well and leaves you wanting more at the end. Wren and Ohken’s have great chemistry and the spice is off the charts. If you enjoy size difference and ruts this one is for you. I cannot wait to get into book 3!

One of my favorite series!

I absolutely love this series! Wren is my favorite sister. I love that she has such a great body positive image of herself. No "poor me" attitude for this sister, who is one of triplets. I love the world Mack has created in this series. It's fun. It's sexy. It's entertaining. There is a strong storyline. Definitely read in order. The narrators did a great job!

Body positivity

Loved this one . The body positivity was relevant and not too much and the love story was adorable . Spice is spicin!

Really was not good to me

this was not my favorite audio at all and the performance from the narrators was not what I had expected...... They could had put more feels into this audio but reading it was not a way to go. not happy or impressed.
