not a fan of how the domestic abuse plot was done

I think the author did a very poor job introducing the Male characters. she focuses more on the fact they are all mated and less on their different characteristics and because of that their personalities all blur together.

The female voice read end every phrase with this hard clipped sound. Noone naturally talks like that. Every sentence feels disjointed rather than flowing naturally together. Male reader was pretty good imo

All of that aside I think the idea for the story is really creative. I just think this story could have been better developed.

Wonderful

I saw this book on Audible Escape and was curious. I’m SOOOOO glad I invested the time. The story was captivating from the very beginning, the characters are well rounded in their development, and I was emotionally invested almost immediately. I just finished this first book less then two minutes ago and I’m glad I don’t have to wait for the next. I’ll be starting that one as soon as I complete this review. Thank you Ms. Dalambakis for creating such a rich new world for me to explore.

Royals

Loved this story! It was definetly more on the YA side but still loved the story and characters. I cannot wait to see what happens next in the triology.
Some of these reviewers are a bunch of haters. I loved both narrators. Laurel Schroeder does kind of pause and speak fast but I lowers the listening speed to .85 and it was perfect. Great narration.

enjoyable book

Good book has a theme and story line. Easy to listen too. character's are wonderful.

Cute

It's a cute feel-good high school story. I believe this is a great adolescent romance novel.

Good quick listen

It was a little slow and I can't see any shifter following those orders when his mate is being hurt..... but overall it was a good story and had good narration which is getting hard to find!

narrative is so boring she had no personality.

the book was good liked the story but rge Female narrative was so boring she had absolutely no personality.

great story

Joe does a wonderful job as always however the girl reader actually makes me angry because of how poorly she acts out the voice of the characters! she pauses in between sentences where you shouldn't and she is absolutely boring! if this Laurel Schroeder is an actress I wonder if she memorizes her lines and talks the way she does when she reads outloud. "I think....this guy is.....cute! Maybe....We can hang....out." she literally does this!🤯 why would you let her continue to narrate?!

I wanted so bad to get through this...

unfortunately I can't get through the female narrator, its painful to listen to for me. So sad this book seemed interesting. I'll have to read it myself.

Slow and anticlimactic

The female narrator's vocal cadence made getting through this book rather difficult. The story had potential, but the character interactions and some situations were so cookie cutter the book doesn't really stand out in the sea of YA books in this genre. I'm not sure if I'm motivated enough to continue with the series, which is frustrating to say the least, I hate starting a book and not finishing it completely.
