Into the Lion's Den

Secrets of the Northland Shifters, Book 1

By: A.S. Green

Narrated by: Nathaniel Gray

It's not just Shifters who lurk in the shadows.

Mountain lion shifter Reese Fitzpatrick never expected to be running his father's business—a luxury resort hidden away in Minnesota's Northland. But when his father is killed by a hunter's bullet, it's up to Reese to keep his father's legacy alive.

The job would be hard enough without the arrival of Sarah McAvoy, a mysterious woman with secrets of her own.

While she quickly has Reese’s mountain lion purring inside his skin, she's also such an irritating distraction he wants nothing more than to snarl and bite her.

But Reese has more to worry about than an accidental reveal of his animal nature.

If he and Sarah can't get past their differences, overcome the slow-burn of their sexual tension, and make the summer a financial success, the Fitzpatrick land could soon be covered in parking lots and strip malls.

Turns out, Reese's father wasn't the competent businessman he always believed him to be. And those vulture real estate developers are already hovering. Just waiting for Reese to fall.

That is, if the hunter who killed his father doesn't return to get him first.

Into the Lion's Den

Are you freaking for reals, you just had to end the book like that. you are so mean. anyway, this book started off really well, I enjoyed every bit of it. I promise guys you will enjoy the book very much. I know I sure did. I can't wait to get myself the next book. I so need to know what happens next.

Solid Shifter Story

I really needed a solid shifter story and this fit the bill. Reese Fitzpatrick finds himself in a hard place after his father was murdered trying to keep their family resort afloat. Sara is running from a bad situation and bad people back in Chicago.
Full of sexual tension and chemistry Reese and Sara had to learn to work together, deal with their attraction all while keeping their secrets from eachother. Reese was a bit of a jerk, bordering on rude in the beginning…considering she was there to help him and his business, but she was more than a match for Reese. He also pushed so hard to deny himself and what they had together. I am hopeful he gets his act together in book 2 :)
I LOVE shifters and A.S. Green got them just right, a bit growly, possessive, stubborn and bossy.

Narrator: Nathan Gray did pretty good with the female voice, that's not always the case. He was a built stilted for the male voice but I quickly fell into the story and stopped noticing.

THEIS IS A FUNNY & DYNAMIC SHIFTER ROMANCE

STORY IS GREAT WELL WRITTEN AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

ACCEPTABLE FOR MATURE LISTENERS. NOT CLEAN HAS ALOT OF SENSUAL CONTENT.

NARRATOR WAS GOOD AND EASY TO FOLLOW.

The story is so great. But Seriously it had to end like that! Narrator did a good job and was really easy to listen to.

Slow burn shifter story

Reese and Sarah fight with each other as much as they work together to decipher clues about a murder and save a resort.
The story ends on a serious cliffhanger, and the relationship between Reese and Sarah is not resolved. Fortunately, the next two books are already available, so no long waits to find out what happens next.
While their relationship remains up in the air, the chemistry between Reese and Sarah is instant hot, and believable.
I liked that the reader was able to experience the shifting process. I also really liked that Sarah was never a damsel. She made intelligent decisions and stood her ground.
Nathaniel Gray used an excellent growly alpha voice for Reese. He did well with the narration and other characters, too, but I particularly his reading of Reese.
