"What I find in my territory is mine to keep. Even if it’s a man."

Jag. Uninhibited. Possessive. Walks on the wild side.

Dane. Gentle giant. Monster lover. Plays it safe.

Dane always knew his illicit fantasies of rough sex and dangerous men would one day lead him down a path of no return, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn’t stay away.

After being beaten half to death by his ex, he wakes up in a collar, chained to a wall by a wild man who claims Dane as his property.

From the moment Jag lays his eyes on Dane, he knows he wants to keep him. Big, strong, with colorful ink all over, he is the most unique man Jag had ever seen. But Dane has to be tamed if he is to become Jag’s mate for life.

All Jag needs to do is assure Dane that he will be protected and provided for, because the sparks are already flying. But Dane keeps nagging about irrelevant things like his family, responsibilities, and the internet. No wonder Jag needs to keep him chained for longer than he expected.

The only way out for Dane is to play the role of Jag’s obedient, loving "mate", and bide his time until he can escape. But while Jag is absolutely batshit, and his junkyard den lifestyle is insanity, he also showers Dane with treats, worships the ground he walks on, and f--ks him like a monster, the way Dane always dreamed of in his most secret fantasies.

The book was interesting. I haven't read the previous volume, but Primal can be read or listened to as a standalone.
K.A Merikan managed to make me like the morally gray character of Jag. He grew up unconventional and sometimes he acts like a real caveman, but he puts a lot of effort into what he does. Especially when it comes to Dane, he wants to do everything right and that was very sweet. Because behind Jags hard shell is a soft core that just wants to be loved and believes he has found his soul mate in Dane. And the more I learned about Jags past, the more I understood why he is the way he is.
Dane goes from one difficult situation to another. His relationship with Jag is like an up and down ride. There are heated arguments, hot love scenes, but also quite catastrophes.

The story was unexpected, but exciting, intense with interesting characters, incredible chemistry between the protagonists and then humorous in between. The trip to the movies did make me smile a lot.

The audiobook was narrated by Nathan Kelly, a new audiobook narrator for me. He did a fantastic job with his pleasant voice and I could have listened to him for much longer. He gave the characters different voices and made for an entertaining listening experience.

This is the first of the series that I read. It’s different from what I have read of the author but I enjoyed it. It’s dark and very savage, Jag is uniquely uncivilized for the modern world but his kindness is unlimited, even for his captive. Dane has dark desires that are met by Jag. Their situation is so different from anything I’ve read but the author kept my attention for the whole book and I will continue with the series. I am curious, is Dex’s story next? Lovely narration.

A primal romance indeed!

This was unlike anything I have read/listened to before and I loved every crazy minute of it. I devoured this story in one listen and couldn't stop listening. It was really well written. The characters were fantastic. JAG is the "caveman" character on the outside but is really such a sweetheart and so protective. They had amazing chemistry and ended up being exactly what each other needed. This story is definitely insane and had me chuckling at times but it was also very sweet and steamy and filled with emotion with some action and suspense and a little angst thrown in. I would definitely recommend this book.

The narrator did a great performance. He had a pleasant reading voice. He expressed the emotions perfectly and brought the story to life. He did different voices that made it easy to distinguish each of the characters.

Great story and performance

These Authors never fail to amaze me.

This was a contemporary take of a modern day Tarzan.

Jag's character was so realistic and I felt for him.

This book was PRIMAL in every way😏

The narrator performed an amazing audio delivery and narration!!

I love Jag!

As twisted as ever but exceptionally creative! Kat and Ange have outdone themselves with the creativity and uniqueness of a modern day Tarzan story that's rough, ruthless, honest, sexy yet sweet. With so much to keep them from working Jag and Dane have every obstacle imaginable to overcome to make their connection work.
This story is so detailed and so much happens, I was on the edge of my seat at times and even with Jag's twisted 'alpha ownership' he's so loving it just works.
Another sinfully additive series!
