Caleb

Shadow Wranglers, Book 1

De: Sarah McCarty

Narrado por: Tavia Gilbert

The loss of control. The fear of desire. Allie always thought that mysteriously sexy rancher Caleb Johnson wanted her as much as she wanted him. But since he never acted on it, she was ready to admit defeat. Until the night she was attacked by a vicious wolf, only to be rescued by another. In the triumphant, bloodied male, there was something Allie recognized - the baritone growl, the mesmerizing eyes, the inexplicable animal attraction. Her savior was Caleb.

A rogue vampire living with his three equally rogue brothers and the McClaren werewolf pack, Caleb never wanted to bring the woman he secretly desired into his dark and dangerous world. But when she's targeted by his enemies, his only choice is to protect her. But how can someone as alive, as vulnerable, as human as Allie survive in the shadows with him?

Reseñas de la Crítica

"A fast-paced story with multifaceted characters, scorching sex, deadpan humor and a spunky heroine who's a perfect match for her alpha hero." ( Romantic Times)

Cowboy vampires, mmmmm

If your a vampire lover and if you love cowboys, well this might be your book. I definitely caught my attention. Oh and let's not forget those werewolf's. It has a interesting plot that will lead you into the next book with the other sexy cowboy vampire brother, which will lead to the other sexy cowboy vampire brother... you get the drift. It's a road that I, at this point, want to take. So yes it's worth a credit to me.

Shadow Wrangles

Is there anything you would change about this book?

Yes the story line. The story went on and on before anything happen. I am not sure what was the purpose of the vapires who can shift into werewolves. Any why are there no vampire women its just weird story line and very boring.

What was most disappointing about Sarah McCarty’s story?

the entire book was disappointing

Did Tavia Gilbert do a good job differentiating all the characters? How?

yes she did but it didnt make since becuase all the charcters were boring nothing really happen.

Was Caleb worth the listening time?

Yes caleb was interesting but his wife and brother sorry the book lost me there.

Any additional comments?

Do not use your credit on this book if you are looking for adventours or funny story line. If you want something boring and laid back than this may be the book for you.

Really good

I love vampires and werewolves and this is a great series. Highly recommend. I love the way Sarah pitched them against each other and then sided them together at just the best times. And if you like country boys, well hang tight and put on your boots.

Tavia does an awesome job. Easy to listen to. She has the voices down good, and the emotions can be felt. Great storyteller.

Not the best of Sarah McCarty

Would you recommend this book to a friend? Why or why not?

While I found the bood mildly entertaining I would not recommend it. Vampires aren't as sexy as the Hells Eight Cowboys and the story is a bit contrived.

Has Caleb turned you off from other books in this genre?

I have enjoyed other vampire books such as Twighlight and A Discovery of Witches, but I won"t be reading any more of the Shadow Wrangler series.

Which scene was your favorite?

one particular scene does not come to mind

Did Caleb inspire you to do anything?

No

Any additional comments?

Sarah McCarty should stick with her Hell's Eight and leave the vampires to someone else.

Best sex I ever had without my husband

Would you consider the audio edition of Caleb to be better than the print version?

the audio edition is wonderful and fills every inch of your body with a deep sensual energy

What did you like best about this story?

The testertone that oozed thru this audio book was almost to much for this goddess. if you are looking for a book to activate your lower chakras this is worth every penny.

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

No I wanted to savor every minute of it.....

Any additional comments?

My husband may not know this but he should get down on his knees and thank this author for lubriacting his wifes soul. this book could melt ' Lot's wife'.

I'm listening to it all over again.

it was exciting and erotic. i couldn't stop listening. I'm going to restart it as soon as I finish this review

Unexpectedly dissapointed

Would you try another book from Sarah McCarty and/or Tavia Gilbert?

I have read in audio format many Saraah McCarty books, but this one I found lacking. I am a big fan of paranormal. I felt some parts did drag on way too much and not enough background on the story backdrop. I did not know I had reached the end of the book until it told me it was the end. I will try the next story and see if there is any improvement.The narrator was just fine.

What was the most interesting aspect of this story? The least interesting?

I love the paranormal aspects of the story and a different twists on the vampire story.

Have you listened to any of Tavia Gilbert’s other performances before? How does this one compare?

First time for this narrator

What would have made this romance irresistible?

More depth to the plot.

I Liked it!!

What did you love best about Caleb?

Well it was steamy alright!

What did you like best about this story?

The story is interesting, and made me wonder what is going to happen in the next books!

What about Tavia Gilbert’s performance did you like?

She did a great job! It took me a little while to get used to her

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

Not really.

Any additional comments?

I just thought that the main character was a little annoying, she was very whiny and not the strong female lead that I ususally read. But I know that that is just my preference and not anything against the author.

Surprised myself by finishing listening

I have to say this book was not good or bad. It is a laugh out loud kind of book, What I was laughing at wasnt funny scenes, just from how crazy the story was. Even though it was a bit more than I am used to listening too, I was able to finish this book and I also ordered the rest of the series. So for me to purchase the rest of the series tells me I must have found something I liked about it. I guess I enjoy craziness.

ok but not great

I feel like it skipped around to much. story line was good but had gaps.
