The Shifter Romances the Writer

By: Kristen Painter

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Length: 8 hrs and 16 mins

Publisher's Summary

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better. Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

For romance writer Roxy St. James, living in Nocturne Falls also means a fresh start. And as soon as her unbearable ex signs the divorce papers, that new beginning will be a reality. Unfortunately, her ex doesn't seem ready to let her go and the subtle threats he's been making leave her no choice but to confide in her oh-so-handsome neighbor, who just happens to be a deputy with the sheriff's department. But Officer Alex Cruz isn't just the law. He's also a panther shifter, a secret he's sworn to keep (along with the truth about Nocturne Falls) from the very foxy Roxy. Humans aren't supposed to know the town is filled with supernaturals. Then she starts seeing things she shouldn't and thinks she's losing her mind. His attraction - and concern - for her wars with the promise he's made. Will his truth be more than she can handle? Or will it cause her to write him out of her life?

Delightfully Cute Romance!

The Shifter Romances the Writer is an another AWESOME addition to the series! It's clean, cute, and funny. I loved the paranormal romance author wrote a story about a paranormal romance writer, and enjoyed the glimpses Roxy's character shares about being a writer. The name of Roxy's hit series "Blood Moon Brotherhood" was just too cute! (The name kinda reminds me of another one of my favorite series.)

Kristen Painter is an amazing author! She proves you can write an excellent story that is entertaining, clean, romantic, and exciting, while remaining totally PG. Don't get me wrong, I love really steamy stories, but I also love variety, and adding the Nocturne Falls series to my collection, gives me that variety. Kristen also does a fantastic job of world building, and character development with Nocturne Falls, and it's unique characters. I love how each story manages to weave in some of towns well know residence, while introducing new ones. This could be a series that could go on for a very long time!

The narration, as always, was great! B.J. Harrison does an outstanding job bringing the character's to life, and projecting all the different emotions. He has been consistent with the voices throughout the series, and there's a lot of characters. I have thoroughly enjoyed his performance.

I recommend this story and series to any PNR fan who loves a great story that is both entertaining, and clean!

Kristen Painter did it again!

Would you recommend this audiobook to a friend? If so, why?

Oh that is a big YES! I love the Nocturne Falls series, ir is just awesome! The town is adorable and exciting. The characters are a great mixture of types - all lovable. I love the re-occurring characters from the other stories.

Who was your favorite character and why?

Alex, hands down. But his mother, Carmen - I love her just as much as I love Aunt Birdy. Supporting characters are very important.

Have you listened to any of B.J. Harrison’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

Yes, but only in this series. He is great and keeps the story going smoothly all the way to the end.

If you were to make a film of this book, what would the tag line be?

Of this one book? Well I would call it "Panther heat." But really I would love to see this series made into a mini-series (TV) or maybe a series of movies like "Nocturne Falls". I would love to watch this. And when it came out on DVD or Blu-Ray I would have to have for my library. Kristen - think about it. :-)

Any additional comments?

Kristen......keep those stories coming for Nocturne Falls.....please!!! Publish on Audible quicker too. Love you!

Kristen's done it again.

Another great book in the Nocturne series. This is one of my favorite series and i was so excited when it finally hit audibles. This book made me laugh and laugh. I just love all the characters. This book was about a friend of Delaney's who is a paranormal book writer. She comes to live in Nocturne Falls not realizing she just bought a house next door to panther shifter and her friend is now a vampire. She thinks she is going crazy when she starts seeing things. Fangs on her friend, a big panther, gills on a woman putting in her fish tank. When she finally finds out that there are supernaturals she is shocked and then gets mad at Alex her next door neighbor( and potential boyfriend) and her friend for not telling her the truth. And to top things off she has a stalker. But all works out in the end for everyone. I recommend this book and all the others from this series. Can't wait till the next. Hated it when it ended.

Great book

Interesting and likable characters, storyline, and plot. A few sections didn't seem as polished as Ms. Painter's other Nocturne Falls books are but overall a good addition to the series. The narrator did a great job as always!

Enjoyed the slight mystery

I like this narration.
Delaney invited her friend Roxy, from college, to move to Nocturne Falls. Roxy is a paranormal writer who is going through a divorce. So she thinks that a town that celebrates Halloween year round is perfect for her.
She gets stopped by the local police for speeding. Then she realizes that the cop Alex is her next door neighbor.
Alex is a puma shifter and knows that nothing can happen between them because she is human. So they get together as friends.
Someone is stalking her and leaving her gifts. Can Alex figure out who it is? What happens when Alex and Delaney have to explain to her that they,as well as most of the town are supernatural?
I enjoyed the slight mystery that takes place as well as getting to know a few more people in this wonderful town.

Amazing!

Would you consider the audio edition of The Shifter Romances the Writer to be better than the print version?

No but I do consider it equally as good!

What does B.J. Harrison bring to the story that you wouldn’t experience if you had only read the book?

Love his accents and narration style

Any additional comments?

Loved this book, Roxy is awesome! She's a perfect fit for Nocturne Falls and for Alex. There were a couple of twists as well and I really liked how it all turned out! Can't wait for the next book!
