About this listen

Jared just wanted to celebrate his birthday and make new friends, but he quickly finds that clubbing can be dangerous. In fact, the whole world is a different place than he thought it was.

Werewolves, vampires, and faeries turn out to be all too real. Front and center of it is Steven Chang - alpha heir and all-round good guy. He says Jared's his mate. It's all a bit much for Jared to process, but maybe it'll all be okay as Steve says he's willing to date first. For a while, anyway.

Jared just hopes it's long enough to wrap his head around it all, hopefully without getting disappeared by the mysterious men in suits or anything weirder happening.

Narration could have been better but it wasn't the worse I have heard. The book is well written and the character are well developed. Even though the author gave a warning I still couldnt get past the brutal meet cute.

Spoiler Alert.


It was just too much for meet to read the same rape scene twice from two different angels. It was long drawn out and blow by blow. I was so disgusted that I did not want the couple to be together. I wanted the victim Jared to just get help and not worry about the stress of dating someone or falling in love. I couldn't give it a chance because it was too heavy and in excess and ruined the meet cute for the couple in my eyes. I wasn't vested in them as a couple although I liked them as characters. Yes I could have skipped the scenes but I am a reader thats wants every single word. and because I am not invested in them as a couple I had no motivation to keep going.

But the authors writing skill are exceptional and the fact that scene was so awful and painful shows just how talented the author is because you are so immersed into the scene that its feels like you are being assaulted. So drop me in the scene that deep with just words despite having not so good narrator says that the author is a great writer. Talented.

4/5 stars because even though everything else was great the rape meet cute made the romance cringy. Also the author warns you beforehand so if you can't handle it then you only have yourself to blame. I thought I could hang but I had to tap out.


If you can get past graphic rape scene and overprotective alpha's are you thing then this is book for you.

I gave this rating purely for the fact that it was an unusual take on the normal paranormal genre. The way the human MC took to being introduced to the hidden world of supernatural creatures such as shifters and vampires was well thought out and portrayed. The way the shifters teased him about the stuff he doesn't yet know was done in a kind way and came across that way. In fact the story was mostly good. The constant jumping into what felt like someone else's story every couple of chapters did detract from my enjoyment, as did the narrators style. He had this weird way of saying words in such a way they made no sense to me. For example Faerie was said as Fare Ree where as I tend to hear and say it as Fare ee. There were a lot more like this that really made it difficult to stay in the story. If the narrator had done a better job I think it might have got a higher rating.

I enjoyed the story but not so much the narration

The author does a fabulous job with the storyline and the development of the characters.This is a well written story that will leave you wanting more from this author. I can't want for the next book in the series.
Warning: this book contains some sexual attacks.
The narrator does a fantastic job with the characters and the voices of each characters making it easy to distinguish between the characters. Randi is very good at male and female voices, which is fantastic in and of itself. I absolutely loved listening to this audiobook and can't wait for more by Randi Johnson and Leona Windwalker.

Fated Mates shifter romance!!

Wow, this book is so raw. It’s written very well, however you can tell that Randi gives his everything to his performance. It’s a delicate storyline that has been handled by both author and narrator absolutely perfectly. I wish there was more stars for performance as I “felt” the emotion from Randi. Highly recommend.

Great emotion from Randi

The story is always full stars, because if I wouldn't like the story as ebook, I wouldn't listen to the audiobook. I can't listen to an audiobook without knowing the book, that's not possible for me.

The performance from the narrator is also very important for me. I can't listen to a lot, because my English as a non-native-speaker isn't so perfect to follow a whole story over hours, when the narrator speaks too fast or too sloppy. Normally I have to SEE the person, who is talking to me in English. Randi Johnson is one of the top 3 narrators (so far) for me, I can listen without break and have no problems to follow. And really, his SEXY VOICE is something you DON'T want to miss!!
I'm just not yet finish with the book, just over the half, but I listen enough to give a review.

PLEASE READ MY RATING SYSTEM!!!

To my ratings:

5* - very very good
it's like an A+

4* - very good and will be often re-listening
it's like an A

3* - it's more then a one-time-listening.
it's like a B

as good as the ebook

Jared a human, went to a club to celebrate his birthday hoping to make new friends, but his two new "friends" attack him and leave him in an alley where he is found by Steve. Steve is a shifter, he's destined to become the Alpha of his pack as soon as he finds his Mate.

Steve never expected to find his mate in an alley beaten and bloody, nor did he think his mate would be human or male - but that's OK he's more than happy with Jared. But for Jared, there are a lot of adjustments to make, who knew that shifters, vampires, and faeries existed it's a lot to get his head around so he asks Steve if they can take it slow and get to know each other before he commits to this new world he's just been introduced to. Steve says he's willing to date first. For a while, anyway.

I enjoyed this story although it did end with many unanswered questions, I will just have to listen to the next book and hope for more answers.

The narration of this book was very well done, I enjoyed how Randi Johnson brought each character to life, he has a way of narrating which adds that little bit extra to any book he narrated.

I was given this audiobook as a gift and am voluntarily writing my review.

Jared find himself fated to be the mate of a wolf shifter who is the alpha-in-waiting. He also soon finds himself pregnant. Windwalker has created a complex fantasy world with humans, shifters, fairies, vampires, and others, and in an effort to paint this complex world, I felt we got too much irrelevant fantasy knowledge and trivia at the expense of the story. The two unsettling rape scenes which bookend the story were at odds with the overall tone of the book which is light, fluffy and benign, focussing mostly on world-building, banter, minor story arcs, and getting ready for the baby. It felt like the author couldn’t quite decide whether to focus on the MPREG, fantasy / supernatural, or hurt / comfort tropes so didn’t quite cover off on any of them. Randi Johnson narrates extremely well, he has the perfect voice for epic blockbusters so suited the fantasy / supernatural trope; I think he’s a little wasted on fluffy MPREG tropes.

Mostly pleasant but didn’t quite gel for me
