About this listen

When one night of passion becomes something neither of them could have ever predicted...

Ivy Greene is a strong, confident single mother who, honestly, doesn’t need any help. She’s got this. All except for one thing. Her five-year-old son Lincoln has a terrible secret that she’s determined to keep until the day she dies. She’d do anything for her son. Including traveling to Spokane to search for more information about people like her son.

While she’s there, she crosses paths with someone who was supposed to be a one-night stand. Little does she know that he’s playing for keeps.

Maxim Malashovik is the oldest of four boys. He’s fun-loving, kind, thoughtful, and, oh yeah, a bear shifter. There’s nothing he wouldn’t do for the people he loves. And suddenly, inexplicably, he finds he has to add a person to that list, after just one night with her.

Why couldn’t he have fallen for somebody who wanted him back? Or even left her number after their one-night stand.

This is the third book in The Secret Shifters of Spokane series, but can also be listened to as a stand-alone. No cliff-hangers.

Please note: The story contains strong sexual themes/language and is not intended for listeners under the age of 18.

I requested this book in exchange for an honest review. This book, just like the others in this series, takes you on a wonderful journey of family, new love, and loyalty. Maxim is the eldest brother and he is strong, loyal to a fault, passionate, and sensitive. He freely speaks his mind. He meets Ivy, a strong independent woman with a secret and have a one night stand. She disappears after and they meet again 6 months later when her car crashes and the adventure begins. This book had me laughing, shaking my head in agreement, and feeling different emotions. And all of the characters, the family, were so different that it just meshed. I have read the 1st 2 books with Danil and Pandora, Emin and Glory, and now this book and I just can't wait to hear about Anton's story because I am truly invested in this family. You should listen to the books in order to get the true picture about what is happening and why. The narrator makes the story come alive and I am amazed that he is able to do all the voices and make it believable.

This the third I’ve read in this series and they just seem to get better. I also prefer Craig’s narration to most I have so far heard.
I look forward to the next in the series.

This is the third book in a series I previously read but which I am enjoying listening to. Although all the stories are standalone I would recommend listening to them in order.

The last thing Ivy Greene wants is a long-term relationship. She's been hurt before and has one goal in life to protect herself and her son from further pain after being betrayed by her son's father. So when she meets Maxim at a bar she doesn't want anything but a few hours of his company. Maxim, however, recognizes that Ivy is his Mate, the only one for him. But Ivy doesn't make it easy for him as she slips away whilst he's sleeping.

For six months, Max has thought about Ivy and how he might find her again but then fate came to his aid, he's a firefighter and he and his crew responded to a traffic accident where they rescued Ivy and Linc her 5-year-old. But again she slipped away, but this time she and Linc came back to thank Max for saving their lives.

Ivy has a secret one she doesn't want to share but when Maxim helps Linc he comes closer to winning her heart. When he helps a second time, she decides to give them a chance and try for more. But when they are kidnapped by Navuka, Maxim enlists the aid of his whole family to try to save them but will he be in time?

The narration of this book by Craig A. Hart is well done and certainly added to my enjoyment of this story.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.
