Urban Jungle, Book 1

By: Espen Arcadia

Narrated by: Ryan Kraayvanger

In true enemies to lovers style, when the fox touches the jaguar with his spirit, the big cat touches the fox’s soul with his heart.

Trent, powerful jaguar shifter, and one of the biggest business names in Chicago, has a lot on his plate. He’s taken on the role as leader of the urban shifters and finds himself at odds with the surrounding rural community. His latest plan to buy land from the country shifters, with the promise of a better future for them, has them up in arms.

When they grow desperate enough, the rural leaders call on Ash, a fox shifter with "skills". His job is to take the high and mighty and bring them crashing down from their own hubris and corruption. Born and raised in Chicago, Ash returns to his home city, with his crafty gaze set on destroying Trent’s career.

When the two meet, personalities and intentions will bounce and crash off of one another. Sparks will fly, and secrets will come pouring out of the shadows. Ash and Trent will deal with not only with their growing attraction to one another, but getting caught in the middle of a deadly scheme.

Short and Sweet Listen

I liked this story, it was fast paced, with some action and interesting characters. Enemies to Lovers is my favorite trope and I enjoyed following how relationship between Trent and Ash started and then grew due to common goals and hot and steamy times together. I was waiting for more to happen, but maybe it will be in the next book. Narrator has a good voice and I liked his narration. This was my first book by this author and narrator and I will try the next book in the series.

Trent believes in what he is doing especially when he sees it as making things better for others. When his latest project hits a wall, it look like it is more than just a snag. The shifters that oppose Trent have hired a man known to bring down anyone he sees doing wrong. Yet when Ash comes into Trent’s life, he finds something else and the attraction between the two cannot be denied.

Trent and Ash’s story is an interesting one, but I would have liked a bit more character and story development. Their story moves quickly, and things are glossed over. Trent and Ash are strong characters, but they are one dimensional. It was not hard to figure out who was behind everything the big climatic scene left me wanting. While Trent and Ash figure things out there is still more to come. Their story is only the beginning of this world. Although I was not fond of some of the voices used for these characters narrator Ryan Kraayvanger does a good job of making the narration flow and keeping the listener engaged.

A really good story

This was a great enemies to lovers story. The narrator did a good job as well. I look forward to the next book.
