By: Valerie Moon

Narrated by: Eric Nash

Amber is the werebear daughter to the chief of her clan. She is considered the clan's princess and has already been promised to Koda another werebear in her clan who is next in line to be chief. Amber is against her father's archaic ideologies, and she constantly rebels against his rules and sneaks away. On the night she went for a run, she comes upon a river and encounters an awfully friendly cougar who she just thinks is a sweet kitty.

Mark is a widowed werecougar who lives alone. His only companion is his best friend, werebear Danny.

The two have been by each other's sides for centuries, always looking out for one another like brothers. Mark is riddled with grief and sadness over the murder of his wife and children over two centuries ago. He's never allowed himself to move on or feel anything for anybody until one day, while at his river, he comes face to face with a bear.

For almost 200 years, I’ve kept to myself. And then there she was.

They might be from different species, but they prove that nothing can keep you apart from your fated mate.

Will she leave her clan and her betrothed to be loved by her werecougar forever?

Twin Flames

Okay, this was a really cute story. lol I love that ending. There are fullness and babies 👶. I'm just so glad they all worked it out and got what they all wanted. I do wish this was a duet or read by a girl. Don't get me wrong, the narrator did a good job, but his girl voice wasn't so good lol.

Good Mixed Shifter Romance

This is an interesting mixed shifter paranormal romance. The storyline is solid if not a bit simple, lacking some of the depth or complexity that one comes to expect from a mixed relationship.

Mark and Amber's Story

Mark is a cougar shifter that is still grieving over the murder of his wife and kids centuries ago. Then he ends up meeting Amber out by the lake. He is hidden in the brush, but he knows that she is aware he is there and seems to enjoy his watching her. Amber is the werebear princess whose father set up an arranged marriage with Koda, next in line to be Chief of the Clan, in order to strengthen the Clan. Koda and Amber are more like brother and sister, however, so she is not happy about the arrangement. She just doesn’t love him, and she wants a mate she can love and who will love her also. She wanders away and meets a friendly cougar. Are the two of them fated to be together? And how would she get out of being promised to Koda?

The audiobook narrator is Eric Nash. He does a great job with the voices with great intonation to make it easy for the listener to get an accurate idea of what each character is like. It helps to set the mood and is an enjoyable way to “read” and enjoy the book.

Twin Flames!

This is a short and quick read, or in my case, listen. It is a good story about Amber and Mark. She is a werebear and the daughter of the clans chief. She has been promised by her father to Koda, another werebear in their clan. Mark is a werecougar that has been morning, for a very long time, the loss of his wife and children. Amber and Mark meet and feelings develop between them. This is a good story that the narrator did a good job with reading. I love the characters and the plot is interesting and enjoyable.

Short and full of action

This audio was short and full of action. Mated of different species find each other.

There is no real “bad guy” apart from the hunters.
I liked the secondary characters and world building was ok.

I wasn’t the biggest fan of the narration but it wasn’t awful, more the quality of the audio than the voice.

To me this was a take it or leave it story, you may like it more than me …. As I said to me it was average.

2.5 stars
