I loved Brand and Kasia’s fated mates, dragon and phoenix shifter romantic suspense tale. The story was well written and included witty dialogue, three dimensional characters who grow, and an engaging storyline. The story will give you all the feels – laughing, crying, swooning, cringing, teeth gritting, and cheering. I was not a fan of shifter novels until I read Abigail Owen’s dragons. Now I am a fan for life. Brand, a dragon shifter, is super alpha and determined but so loving at the same time. His struggle to choose between love and his centuries old quest for revenge gives you all the feels. There are no damsels in distress in this book however, Kasia, a phoenix shifter, is a force to be reckoned with just as much as Brand is. Kasia has a similar struggle – fall for Brand, follow her mother’s guidance or choose the Blue King. Sexy story, exciting chases, lots of intrigue, and sweet love makes this a story worth reading multiple times. The world building is phenomenal in this book and it parallels the author’s Fire’s Edge series but any of the books can be read separately. Each book has a wonderful HEA and Brand and Kasia’s is swoon worthy.
Sarah Puckett and Alexandre Steele did a phenomenal job narrating the story and characters into life with enough change of inflection, tone and cadence to voice multiple characters quite convincingly. I love the added dimension of listening to the characters.
