Lord Manetu

Blackwood Pack, Book 12

De: Mary Rundle

Narrado por: Nick J. Russo

"This is part of a continuing series by Amazon best-selling author, Mary Rundle—listening to the previous titles is advised. Listeners will enjoy catching up with members of the Blackwood Pack and reading about what is happening to them as the pack does what it does best: caring for one another and helping shifters everywhere.

Barely surviving Arald’s prison, Theo’s luck has finally changed. Discovering an unknown passion for cooking, he’s settled into his new life with his fiancé at the Blackwood Pack. He’s excited about tying the knot with Norm in the company of all their friends. It’s everything Norm promised him during their bleakest days of incarceration and he doesn’t think he can be any happier.

Waking up at Arald’s, Norm's sole mission in life is to help his fated mate, Theo, survive the horrors inflicted on them both. Now free, he sets about to make all of Theo’s dreams come true, including the most important one: the cub his mate so dearly wants.

Smokey heads north to pick up Kevin’s parents and deliver them to the Blackwood Pack before hurrying back to LA. Easy-peasy, right? That’s what Smokey thinks, but then, what is supposed to be a simple mission turns into a race to avoid human hunters who have already shot Kevin’s father. Using his skills honed as a secret agent, Smokey manages to elude the hunters, heal the father’s wound, and then successfully transport them to safety, only to find the Fates have a surprise waiting for him.

After a series of misunderstandings and then with some help from Jackson, the pack’s Alpha, Theo and Norm finally accept Smokey as their mate and set upon a journey to unite the three of them. Discovering truths about their past lives leads to uncovering long-kept secrets that end up bonding Theo, Norm, and Smokey together, giving each more love and happiness than they ever knew existed.

Astounding surprises, rare and unique gifts, an action-packed mission, and many unexpected twists and turns make this passionate love story by Mary Rundle impossible to put down once you’ve started listening to it.

I caught up

I love that this book was the epitome of all the others. Rundle trusted her audience to know what's what and gave herself leave to split the story every which way. She held back on the sexy bits, and while I came to this series specifically for that, it left me wanting since the writing is... It's not the best...

But the characters and plot are, god, are they. I'm so invested, I swear they exist. They are why I've stayed (while sometimes crossing over to something sex infested and plotless, which I do enjoy)

Don't wanna spoil anything, but there are some huge payoffs in this book that have been building and I'm soooo happy. Light spoilage but DAAAAMN NORM.

Anywho. I'm now lost. I just want the next book now because I've been waiting for this guy! Almost as much as I waited for Carson!

The story continues.

Another great edition. It looks like there will be another book in the future. I can’t wait.

More, we need more

This is a great addition to the series. A lot going on and the writing just keeps getting better.
I like that we are getting LOTS of story and a bit less sexy time. It’s a nice balance for me and really hope the trend continues.
This book answers a few questions And of course raises a few more. I can’t wait to get MORE

Love this series

Another great addition to this series. My only real complaint is we do not get enough together time with the MC’s as there is so much going on.

Love it

I love the series but can't wait until the new series comes out. The story line is so great!!

It just gets better and better

I love this series and can’t wait for the next one. If you love a good story start on this series it is full of love, laughter and intrigue you never know ware the story will take you

This series just keeps getting better and better!

This series is best read in order. Like the previous books, Lord Manetu is another great story in this long-running, complicated and interesting world. You really do need to listen to these books in order.

Nick J. Russo has been performing all of the audiobooks in this series and he is doing a fantastic job. There are many different characters, with many different accents, and he gives each of them a unique voice so that it’s easy to tell who is speaking. I can’t say enough good things about this audiobook.

I know that this review sounds like a carbon copy of my review of the previous book in this series but there’s really not a lot I can say about the book other than what the blurb says. Just know that this was another very compelling addition to the Blackwood Pack saga. There were surprises and some really tense moments that kept me on the edge of my seat and I loved listening to this story.

I don’t know how many books Mary Rundle has planned for this series but as long as she keeps writing them, I’ll keep reading them!

A copy of this audiobook was provided to me at my request and my review was voluntary and not influenced by the author or narrator.

Enjoyable, but...

I enjoyed this story, but I would have liked more of the story about the bear trio.
