About this listen
Nothing says you can’t steal a heart. Keeping it though? That’s another problem.
Wade Espinoza knows a thing or two about hoards. As a dragon, he’s got plenty. What he doesn’t have is a relationship, and he swears he’s not looking for one. But when he’s sent to Boston to answer a cry for help from another pack, he’s drawn into a mess of fae bargains centered around a selkie who Wade instantly becomes obsessed with.
Riordan Maguire is struggling to keep his selkie clan out of the clutches of a fae lord who will do anything to take over their territory. Partnering with the Boston god pack means coming face-to-face with the first person he’s ever wanted to willingly give his sealskin. Too bad Wade isn’t local and is something altogether strange that Riordan isn’t sure he can trust.
Amidst a growing danger in the streets and Boston Harbor, Wade and Riordan are desperate to find a way to keep everyone safe. For bargains are dangerous things to break, but so are hearts. Wade isn’t willing to shatter either of theirs in a race against time that could see Riordan torn from him forever.

Sent to Boston to help the god-pack there, Wade finds himself in front of the selkie he found himself attracted to at a wedding. With everything Wade has gone through, being attracted to someone is a rare event. Be aware there are some heavy topics discussed within the book, including SA.
Riordan was a great match for Wade. Steady and balanced in a way Wade needed. Patient and loving as well. Their romance is very much a slow burn and lower on the heat scale, which is appropriate given all the events of the story and Wade's past.
There's a lot going on. A thing I love about these stories and the narrator does a fantastic job giving individual voices for each of the characters. It was always very clear which POV we were in. One thing the audio did that I'm sure the book won't, is highlight the overuse of phrases. That's the only criticism I have, though.
Plenty of action, magic, and of course, food, because Wade needs to try the food everywhere he goes. The conclusion left me wanting more in this universe, but happy Wade and Riordan got their HEA.
4.5 overall

Wade is absolutely adorable and thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook.
The experience as always is enhanced by the brilliant narration by Gary Furlong.
Highly recommend this audiobook, although it can be read/listened as a standalone, reading/listening to the Soulbound Series books to understand the character and adjacent characters I feel is best.
10’s across the board from me 🥰❤️
Amaaaaazing!

I enjoyed the writing style of this wonderful story. The universe was explained clearly and the characters were well drawn.
Riordan is fighting a threat that involves his sister and his clan. Wade has come as support to fight an enemy. This happens to be the same enemy that Riordan has. Riordan has created a safe haven for Selkies and he is very protective of his siblings and his clan. Wade and Riordan have been attracted to each other since they first met and respect each other greatly. Wade feels very protective of Riordan. He is also a man who is comfortable with himself.
I found the story entertaining. I liked the magic, the fighting, the shifters, the great chemistry and overall world building. There is a lot of action and interactions. I loved when Wade was being sarcastic.
I listened to the audiobook and it was narrated by Gary Furlong. He did a brilliant job. He chose an appropriate pace and I thought he nailed the characters very well. I always knew which character was speaking and I enjoyed that the narrator read with such variety.

The narration by Gary Furlong is superb. I am always amazed how easily those complex names roll off his tongue. Maybe he practices a lot, but it SOUNDS effortless. It makes listening a true pleasure.
I received a free copy of the audio and am voluntarily leaving this honest review.
Wade finds his love...at last
