About this listen

The legend of the Paka Watu...

Abby Lane can’t resist the allure of a cat shifter tribe forced to repress their beasts. Research has led her to a coveted piece of information. The location of a man who could prove everything she’s been searching for.

The sleeping lion...

Utah Pearce can't keep his gaze off the woman who slips into the bar every night. Though not his usual type, she brings out the possessive instinct in him, making him battle with himself as he tries to stay away.

Mine...

Abby’s research never prepared her for the reality in front of her. The beast is waking, and Utah is changing in ways both exciting and terrifying. He is possessive and dominant, and when he finally claims her, neither of them will ever be the same.

This shifter romance was intriguing, it held my attention the entire time, I didn’t want to stop listening. There are journal entries at the beginning of every chapter that threw me off at first but I got it after a while. There are a lot of heated scenes and I was like calm down dude but it made sense by the end. I am excited to see whose story is next. The narration was fabulous, she played both parts very well and made the characters have personality. I am new to both the author and narrator and will definitely be looking for more.

Book 1, great start to the series.

This one was just wow, fast paced and so much to keep your attention this is not a book to miss, Or to start at 10 at night thinking I will just listen to half an hour. Let’s just say midnight passed and I was enthralled. This is one of those books that has you cheering the main characters on and loving the amazing balance between chemistry and storyline. If this one was this good I’m definitely excited by the thought of where the next one will go.

Wow

Abby has been searching for the legend of a tribe of lions most of her life and thinks Utah "Tah" is part of this legend. When they are taken and Tah is tortured it awakens the beast Abby always knew was there. People are out there trying to kill Tah and Abby and their attraction for one another is heightened. Great start to a series I can't wait to read book two in this series.

Legends are real?
