Pride Mates Audiobook

Pride Mates Audiobook

Overall 4 Hearts

Shifters have come out and they took steps to help the humans feel comfortable around them. They wear collars to keep them aggression in check. They also live on something similar to reservations. They can’t have some of the basic luxuries that humans can have.

Kim is a human lawyer who drew the short straw to represent a shifter who is on trial for murder, which should be able to happen with his collar. The suspense is a little predictable, but there are some twists that I did suspect. The romance was wonderful and full of passion. There is a bit of the instant connection between the two. I’m excited to see where this series goes.

Pride Mates Audiobook Narration

I liked the narration. Pride Mates is the only book that Traci Odom narrates for this series. There is a change in audio publisher, so there was also a change in narrator. I thought she did a great job with this book and would’ve been happy if she continued with the series. I haven’t listened to the second book yet, so I don’t know if the change is for good or bad yet.

I love the stories in this series, which I’ve listened to out of order. I listened book three last year and enjoyed it. This series consists of a guy who is deep undercover. It is hard to tell if he is a good guy or a bad one. I think the truth lies somewhere in the middle. The heroine for Off the Edge, Laney, is on the run and hiding for a very dangerous man. She is a little naive, but not too bad. There are a few things I don’t like about this series. There are phrases that are repeated too frequently. Also, each character goes by so many different names, actual first name, actual last name, undercover first name, undercover last name and nicknames. It was a little hard to keep up who we are talking about. Neither of these prevented me from enjoying the story overall

 Narration

Narration by Romy Nordlinger while not my favorite, wasn’t bad. I think it was mostly the non-dialogue that I didn’t like. When she was voicing the characters, I didn’t mind the voices used.

I love my trips to Half-Moon Hollow. While I’m still behind on Jane Jameson series, which is set in the same town with the tons of character overlap, I’ve stayed up-to-date on this series and the Naked Werewolf series. This book focuses on Gigi, Iris’s little sister from the first book in this series. I loved Gigi. She is quite the computer geek, which speaks to the geek in me. Our hero is a vamp that works for the council. He has some pretty cool powers that the council finds handy, he can see who has handled objects.

The pop culture references are always a big hit in Half-Moon Hollow series, or any Molly Harper series for that matter. I love the characters who are all a lot of fun.

 Narration

I love Amanda Ronconi’s narration of all of Molly Harper’s books. She has a great way of bringing out the snark in some great characters. She also does well with some different accents and the male and female voices. I’ve listened to her do this and the Naked Werewolf series. I still need to get back to Jane Jameson series, which is on my TBL list for this year.

I was very excited to get back to the Russians after listening to The Professional last year. I was not disappointed. Maksimilian, Mak, is our Russian billionaire who hires an escort and surprised when a Cuban woman shows up at his hotel. That is not what he ordered.

Catarina, Cat, is Cuban woman who has been cleaning houses while on the run from her husband. Her friend is the escort that was supposed to visit Mak, but had a bad run with Botox.

The sex in this one was a little lighter than the first book. I felt that emotions in this one ran higher. It does have a bit of the Pretty Woman feel to it.

 Narration

I thought that Kimberly Alexis did another bang up job with this book. I really enjoy her Russian accent. She is great with the passionate love scenes, be it emotional or sexy. Her only downfall, in my opinion, was her Cuban accent. I don’t know any Cuban to hear an actual accent, but it didn’t sound right to me when I compare to what I’ve seen on TV.
