I may have reached my end with paranormal romance audiobooks. I got this as another stuff your airpods day and, of course, went in completely blind. I knew I wasn't expecting high quality literature but I did expect to know what I was listening to when I was listening to it.

A dragon shifter has sex with a waitress named Sammy when she was about to get fired. It was a way to stick it to her boss after all. 🤷‍♀️ Then he disappears and some drowned thing comes to her apartment, trying to kidnap her. Enter dragon shifter Rax again, who takes her away but then she's his captive somehow. That part doesn't last long because then she pulls a full on Stockholm situation and is boning the dragon guy. She gets loose and is torn and then a billion other chapters come.

I don't know what I listened to, except it took forever and I'm not a fan.

It was a bit of a rollercoaster. At times I disliked her (sometimes I wanted to slap this woman on the head), then I disliked him, then her again, then I just hated everyone else… It was OK, but I have to say that much of the enjoyment came from the male narrator’s voice. The man knows how to do his job. The female narrator was Ok, not bad or anything, just not as good as her male counterpart.
Another thing is that this is related to another series from the author, and in the last third a lot of people from that other series make an appearance, and it was difficult to keep up with all the characters that are never described because you’re supposed to know them already. And there were a lot of them. I only read the first book of that series and it was a 2 stars for me, so I didn’t continue. The ending was good. However, the whole thing with the brother orchestrating everything is preposterous, so I choose to think the guy is crazy and delusional. I won’t continue the series anyway.
