BRAVO

What a great quick listen! Most short stories fell rushed, but this one was perfect!! Oh, and Zachary is quickly becoming my favorite narrator! Perfection!!

Quick read

This is a good quick story. But I feel like it lacks a build of the relationship. I feel like there could have been a few chapters with the characters getting to know each other. We just started to get invested it ends. But it’s a good story overall.

Derek is the man!!

An exciting, quick listening introduction to a new series and I’m completely hooked!! Derek is to die for, with his automatic protectiveness over Hollis, along with their insane pull towards each other. Hollis’ family is suspect and going to be the cause of a lot of problems in the future. Absolutely loved how Derek set them straight, though! Just like a true hellhound should….

Zachary Zaba was phenomenal in this one! Nailing the characters with their unique style, leaving nothing behind. It’s not often I react during a scene, either, but there was filled with so much passion and enthusiasm, I couldn’t help but respond! I cannot wait for the continuation, especially with that cliffhanger (bah humbug).

Pleasantly Surprised

I Highly Recommend this little listen the narrator did an exceptional job with all the different characters.
I look forward to the future listens in this series.
Derek the hellhound enforcer was coerced into marrying a human to encourage good public relations.
Hollis the human nephew of the commissioner was placed into this marriage to be manipulated by his uncle.
Sparks fly with the new couple and between cities citizens.
I received an advance review copy for free, and I am leaving this review voluntarily

Hellhound

This was a great story, I enjoyed the flow and feel and the characters are interesting and fun. Derek has an interesting time of things but in the end he gets everything he wants. Great listen and the narrative was great . I am excited for more.

Fav of the three!

I loved Hollis and Derek’s story. It was my fav of the three and I wish there were more like these. The characters are wonderful and their stories are so well-written. Loved this!

A promising new series

What a promising start to this new series.
Chosen to mate and bring the paranormal and human worlds together.
Derek and Hollis find that their mating is something that they both unexpectedly want.

With an overlapping story arc and great supporting characters, I can’t wait for more of this series to come.
The narrator was entertaining and brought the characters to life exceptionally well.

Great short story

I love Michelle Frost's stories. This is a short one that focuses on an arranged marriage. Even though this is a quick listen to, Zachary Zaba does a fantastic job. I can't wait to gobble up more from Frost and hopefully Zaba too.

Now I'm spoiled!!!

Now that I've listened to this on Audible I'm spoiled!!! How am I supposed to wait for the next book in the series to come out in audio?

This is book 1 in a novella series, Mated to the Human, by Michelle Frost, narrated by Zachary Zaba. It was a quick listen and it sets up the background for the next 2 books in the series. The series underlying storyline is supernaturals mating humans to help garner peace between the species.

It was a little too short/quick and I would have loved more information about these two main characters. More world building plus more character development, but when the book is a novella you realize you can't have it all. It was a great start to a new series and I look forward to listening to the rest of the series, if I can wait... otherwise I may have to read the rest of the series in ebook format. Hurry, hurry, hurry!!!

Lovee a growly Alpha

I read these books when they came out and I absolutely love them then. so I was so excited when I saw that they were going to be coming out on audio audio. I enjoyed the narrators voice I'm not sure what word I'm looking for here I enjoyed the way they told the story and I love how you could tell the difference in the voices so I really appreciate that they did all of that. I thought they did a fantastic job of telling me the story cuz even though I had already read it I really enjoyed having it read to me. I hope they put the next one out soon I look forward to being able to listen to that one as well.
