Entertaining!

Smolder is fast-paced and an entertaining paranormal romance. It began with gargoyle shifters then switched to the vampire; the bases for both are enjoyable. The plot and characters are well developed and engaging. I liked to find out more, and I look forward to the next audiobook in the series.

Lisa Carlisle does a satisfactory job with the narration. She has a very pleasant voice; the reading is clear and precise. The only thing that I didn't like is the French-accented voices, it was kind of distracting.

2 Hot Novellas in One!

CURSED:

🦇Great Introduction to the Series🦇

Never upset a witch; that's what gargoyle shifter Lucan learns the hard way. He and his brothers are cursed to become pretty gothic statues for the rest of their lives, luckily they find a loophole.

This is a fine backstory introduction that shows how the three handsome gargoyles found their way into Vamps, the famous bar in the Underground Encounters series.

SMOLDER:

🦇Fiery Vampire Romance!🦇

What do you get when you mix a female firefighter, a hot French vampire and a nightclub explosion? A fiery paranormal romance that will warm you up nicely. This fast paced novella is everything a vamp lover looking for a quickie wants.

Great start of a new series!!

This book is well written and narrated. This is the first book in the series. I was intrigued and fascinated by the storyline. This story has action, adventure, suspense, intrigue and romance.
The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters and voices of each which makes it easy to distinguish between the characters. She places the right amount of emotions into the characters. I will definitely look for more books with this narrator.

Excellent action

I must say that I don’t think I’ve read any books with so must action in them. It’s non stop action from start to finish. It’s very refreshing. Excellent narration.

Gargoyles and Vampires...

Interesting how the shifters are portrayed. A curse on the gargoyle brothers. A vampire loving humans. A Gothic Club where shifters meet. Lovely story...

A good example of the lighter side of the genre

Some paranormal romances are very easy to read/listen to, some are not. I found this one fell into the easy to listen to category and it kept my interest peaked right from the start. It is not full of hardcore sex scenes on virtually every other page (like some) but is a more fun and easy going story, with enough going on to make it a worthy paranormal romance contender. The only downside I found was the narrator, who did a reasonable job, but when reading the thoughts of the french character did so with her normal accent yet when reading his dialogue she did it with a French accent, so you were never sure which character she was portraying.
Overall a very enjoyable story and just long enough to get me through the housework! 😂

Paranormal nightlife

This audiobook includes both the prequel 'Cursed' and the first book in the Underground Encounters series, 'Smolder'.

*****Spoilers******
In Cursed we learn how Gargoyle brothers are cursed to be locked in stone. They discover that the curse can be briefly lifted when someone needs protecting from danger. They later meet Michele, a vampire who offers them a mutually beneficial position as specialist bouncers in his paranormal club, the setting of many stories to come.

Smolder continues with Michele's adventures in evading an old adversary holding a very old grudge who catches up with Michele at just the wrong moment... There are hints of the gargoyle brothers' stories to come. Will they ever escape their curse? I look forwards to finding out.

Secretive

Like the story line and the characters, but it felt very fast. After all the years the vampire has been around he falls that fast for her without even really knowing her? And she finds out what he is pretty quickly as well yet she doesn't have a problem. Lots of questions and secrets. It is book 1 so hopefully things will make more sense in book 2. The narrator did a good job.
