I enjoyed listening to River and Darius finding each other and falling in love despite the many obstacles in their way. I don’t know how River survived in his clan for so long with how they treated him. He’s the alpha, but he has such a kind a gentleness about him. Darius is still grieving for his wife and a recovering alcoholic. Charming and sexy, stronger than he knows.I especially loved when during his grief, River shifted to his bear and tried to scare Darius, who instead of running away in fear, embrace his mate and comfort him. River’s clan is irredeemable and reprehensible, except for River, Kiera is the only thing good there. I’m happy River and Darius got their HEA. Gary Bennett is a first time Narrator and he was ok, nice pacing throughout, but it was hard at times to differentiate the character voices.
