2/23/2022 - Update for audio. THIS GLORIOUS BOOK IS IN AUDIO!
I love this book so much. I love Shep. I love Claudia. I love Shep & Claudia together. I might hate Rebekah Weatherspoon for putting me through everything that Claudia and Shep go through to get to their HEA - but it was glorious and I can’t find one critical thing to say about it. So, I'm pretty sure I love Rebekah Weatherspoon too.
This is a super gritty and angsty romance where, if it weren't for a horrific tragedy, these two people should never have met. The road they travel - physically, emotionally, and psychologically is so painful and authentic. You can't help to want to hug them one moment and smack their heads together the next. Are the sex scenes kinky & smoking? You betcha!
The ending was perfect and at the same time I feel like I'd read an entire series about Claudia and Shep. I'll settle for more about Claudia's BFF, Liz in Sanctuary.
Narration:
This is the first time I’ve listened to Rolando Brown or Phoenix McKay and I loved both of their performances. McKay doesn’t have a lot of chapters, but she did a great job as Claudia. There’s some really emotional scenes for her and she really brings depth to those parts. Brown as Shep is so good. His deep, gravely, smooth voice is the perfect fit for the mountain man. I will definitely be listening to this again.

I really loved the female lead in this book. I also thought the author had great writing and really fun dialog. However there was a bit too much sex. I was starting to skip past those parts.

The plot and setting were unrealistic and it promised kink but didn't deliver.
