Everyone deserves a second chance at life.

I am voluntarily reviewing this audiobook copy.

This is a very short but and jam packed audiobook. This story follows Sophie and Aris. The first meeting was very out there. Aris is a dragon shifter who is sick and dying. He does not understand what is happening to him nor his brothers. All he knows is that he needs to save himself and his brothers because he knows that he is meant for more. Sophie on the other hand has been repeatedly abused since she was 15. Her mother is worthless. That sounds harsh but she is. The fact that she allows a man to come into their home and abused her daughter screams Child Protective Services to come over and take Sophie out of that house.

Their love story is very short and very instantaneous. I did not understand what Sarah J. Stone is talking about when it comes to Sophie being abused by her stepfather. Aris and Sophie’s relationship takes place over a course of two months and is intense from start to end.

The story itself was really interesting. I loved all of the male dragons that live in the house. I loved Aris as an individual and as the king. Sophie is a really good character. Even though she has been through hell and back she is still strong and very independent. She knows what she wants and she’s not afraid to go after it. Like any person who has been abused in life there are moments where she doubts herself but then she realizes that, "Hell yeah I’m awesome!"

I cannot wait to see what ends up happening with the guys. Also how the hell did Ron end up finding Sophie? That is one question that I need answered and Sarah did not answer that question in this book. Hopefully she ends up answering the question and later books however I doubt it.

Connor Brown did a very good job narrating the story. The only issue that I had was that the male dragons don’t have a different voice. They all sounded the same and unless the name of the dragon was given prior or after a sentence I had no idea who was talking. Just a little bit of a subtle voice change would have made such a difference. I really did enjoy the fact that it felt as though he enjoyed what he was reading as well.
