Without Regret

By: R. L. Mathewson

Narrated by: Stella Bloom

Chris Williams is used to making sacrifices. For years he's done his duty by his family and his calling as he awaited the one person that was meant for him. When she finally came into his life, she was nothing like the woman he'd expected. Instead of being the warrior ready to help him protect his family and the humans under his care he got.....

A computer geek named Isabella, who somehow managed to get her name on every Master's hit list. One minute she admits that she'd made a foolish mistake and the next she's kidnapped, held hostage by a crazy cult who steals her chocolate and she's sure is after her program, a program she has no plans on giving up anytime soon. As she tries to keep her wits about her, the sexiest man she's ever seen claims her, only he doesn't seem to happy about it. It's clear that he doesn't want her, but the stubborn man just won't let her go even when it's clear that he may not have a choice.

so disappointed

I loved the first book, but this one pissed me off so bad. she takes shit after shit after shit. still forgives. had a shitty af childhood but cries over his sob story despite his emotional abuse. I haven't even reached the end yet somehow I can bet she's not even gonna tell him about her story. fuck this book.

Love it

I don't understand some of the reviews because I thought this was a good story. RL Mathewson always finds away to put the right amount of humor in her books. Always a great story line and narrator.

Extremely Disappointing…

I loved the 1st book and so when Chris who I adored finally got a chance to find his one & only mate, I couldn’t wait to listen to his story… but right after the 1st chapter (which they let you hear in book 1 if you choose to listen) I found I wanted to wring Chris’s neck! Seriously beat the living day lights out of him! I hated him! And it doesn’t change for the ENTIRE story he is the villain as far as I am concerned! In r/l I doubt any woman would be able to forgive him! If my husband did 15% of the things he says and does I would file for divorce! I seriously wanted to see Lizzy dump him! Get rid of him! Find away w/ her beautiful hacking/computer skills, to disappear from his life forever! And him NEVER know where she went if she was alive or dead! That WOULD HAVE BEEN the perfect ending and her HEA! He didn’t deserve his mate or deserve any more control over her life… and this is my serious review…. This book was NOT a romance…. It was dark romance no real physical violence but chock full of mental and emotional abuse… the kind a girl NEVER comes back from…

well written but couldn't finish

I likes Chris is book one, but nothing about him in this book is redeemable. I skimming thur it for the plot and
moving to the next book

Disappointed...

I have read several books by this author and normally really like them. I had a really hard time with this book. I liked the first book and Chris' character in that book. I can't even with him in this book. I have never wanted to smack a fictional character so much in my life. The heroine in this book has been thoroughly abused mentally. I have almost 2 hours left of this book and I can't take it anymore. I can't see how he could possibly redeem himself and I can't forgive him. I don't see how Izzy ever could either. I am going to imagine that Izzy gets her sentinel strength and gives him the butt whooping of his life. The End! BTW loved the narrator. She is the reason this isn't ranked lower.

Without regret

I like this whole entire series all the books but it’s so long so very very long I mean do we have to hear every detail about every every day till we get to the point other than that it’s made interested enough well you really do wanna find out how it ends but it’s Long

Good

This was book 2 in the "Pyte/Sentinel" Chris Williams is used to making sacrifices. For years he's done his duty by his family and his calling as he awaited the one person that was meant for him. When she finally came into his life, she was nothing like the woman he'd expected. Isabella "Izzy" McGuire is a computer geek who has managed to get herself kidnapped. It took me awhile to warm up to both of these characters. Chris and Izzy are mates, there will never be another for them, it's part of the Sentinal way. However, Izzy isn't quite what Chris wanted or hoped for I wanted to slap Chris he acted like a real jerk. This book had a lot of action in it like the first book. Izzy is weak and does not seem to have any natural fighting skills at all, a total disappointment. But his body is responding to her, and he is finding it difficult to keep his distance. Chris is still cocky, edgy and ruthless. This was a good read I listened to this book on audio, and I am looking forward to listening to the next book.

Chris and Izzy

Chis was not the most likeable main character, but he had a bad past, and an even harder time coming into his own as an unmated sentinel. It was hard for him to be accepting and open to change as he spent most of his adult life being nothing but his family's protector. And Izzy posed a threat to his family.
There was a lot of angst in this story and a lot of animosity between the main characters. This is probably why there are so many negative reviews as it is quite a bit out of the norm to have an unlikable main male character, but that's just the way this guy was. Spoiler alert... it does get better by the end but the ending was a bit stilted.
While this was not my favorite of the series, it was still an intricate part of the series as it laid some foundations in the series.

Don't waste your tiime

Chris is an absolute jerk, all through the book. I was hoping this book would get better, that he would learn to stop being such a jerk. However, it was almost the end of the book before he started being okay. i

I almost put this book down so many times

The first book was good. This one felt rushed, the characters weren’t like able, the plot felt superficial, and focused on the screwed up relationship more than the meta plot. The MC constantly pissed me off with his self-involved bs, and the FC had no backbone. I liked the side characters and even the antagonists better than the two main characters. I’m not sure I want to continue with the series at this point if it’s all going to be this shallow. Don’t know what happened between this book and the first, but I hope the author can get back to whatever place that first book came from.
