Story
Growing up in Emerald Lakes, population 682, had been safe and comfortable. Running my own magic shop and making a living off my green witchcraft, I have no complaints. Sure, there’s my ex, who never understood the word "no", but there’s also the lovable and eccentric townspeople who feel more like one huge extended family, and let’s not forget my boy-crazed Gran who keeps us all on our toes. Strange, unnatural things are brewing in Emerald Lakes, and I can’t ignore the sinking suspicion that something life-changing is headed my way.

I’ve fought my whole life for survival, running from an attack on my family I ended up hiding with the Ash Wolves. This one move might be my biggest mistake of all. And I’m the queen of mistakes.... I let them believe I’m broken, let them believe the lies. I let them believe anything they want...as long as it isn’t the truth. There's a monster inside me, one made of teeth and claws and terrifying need. I swallow it down, hiding under the pretense of being normal. But I'm not normal. I'm anything but.

I never expected to end up half-naked in the woods. I didn’t plan to stumble upon the most powerful shifter clan in North America and three of the sexiest men I’ve ever laid eyes on. Dominic, the fun and reckless new wolf. Sam, the hot doctor with glacial-blue eyes. And Gabriel, the intense, secretive alpha who wants nothing to do with me.

Kinda dead. Straight-up psycho. Totally obsessed with her. I did a bad, bad thing. Thanks to a blank in my memory, I'm not sure what that thing was, but it was horrible enough to get me locked up in the mental ward for seven years. Horrible enough that my little sister won't even speak to me. But when I'm released back into a town determined to rub my unknown sins in my face, the past isn't the only thing that's haunting me. The four "imaginary" friends who made my childhood bearable barge into my life in a very real way.

What type of Sue: A Jerk Sue
- By Amazon Customer on 25-03-21
Summary
Monsters, magic, and mates I never knew existed.
Kia versus power pole isn't the end I expect - it's the beginning of...where do I begin? Four wildly sexy males. Powers I don't understand. And the eyes of the fae world on me as the person to unite the severed realms. No pressure.
This is book one in a steamy paranormal shifter romance series where the female main character doesn't have to choose. Expect polyamorous situations, rollicking action, ongoing storylines, and shifter lovers who find what they need from not only their queen but each other as well. Medium-burn, medium angst.

Steamy shifters
I just had to devour the first five books of this series before I could go back and reflect. Action-packed, steamy and sooooo hot! Calli falls into a whole new world when she dies and rises as a Phoenix. Her and her four mates are off to a rocky start, but I love how they get together to try to save the world, while getting together. Completely unputdownable, so get comfy! I'm off to the next part of the series with Keyla and HER mates.

This is the first book in The Guardians of the Fae Realms. I was really surprised by this book. I loved the concept of the Phoenix rising and her four guardians bond to her. This book had a surprising amount of steamy 🔥🔥 parts. Loved it. Can't wait for the next book. Lia Holland and Gabriel Thorne were both phenomenal in this book!

Wow, this one may have been a medium burn but it is certainly worth it, the build up was incredible. The characters and the storyline were both tight and well worth meeting. I really enjoyed the way the relationships were building and I cant wait to see more of how they will work out long term.
I love RH books and this one stood out for me as the Male characters were individuals and this is the mark of a good book for me. Cant wait for the next in the series.

It’s a good listen
Cali is the true definition of a phoenix. She rises from the ashes. One minute she’s a normal human the next she’s a new being with guardians.
Cali hasn’t had an easy life and the things she goes through is unimaginable. The way Hawk treats her makes me want to reach through my phone and smack him upside his head. He’s definitely my least favorite character. The other guys kind of make up for it but she still deserves better than what she’s getting.
Over all I enjoyed the story and can’t wait to see what happens next.
Lia & Gabriel did great jobs narrating!

Better Than Anticipated
I have come to love reverse harems, and this was no exception. It is the first one that I've listened to that was polyamorous. I wasn't sure if I would enjoy it, but this was better than I anticipated. The story was great with two amazing narrators. I appreciate that there was more than one kind of shifter. There is usually just the wolves. Also, I really loved the multi point-of-views. It was great to get the POVs of the guys, who I've come to adore. I did judge the book by the cover, which is stunning. I can't wait to read book two!

To the point
This shifter PNR is very 18+🔥 5 different shifters ( all different races ) get automatically mated to a special girl. This series moves fast so if you are a details reader this might not be a series for you. The ending felt rushed without those details but my curious mind still wants to know what will happen with these 5!

Omg I loved it!!
This was my first time listening to a book by JL Madore and I love every second of it. There are multiple different points of view in this book which you can't go wrong with. The story is really good and I'm already loving her men in the book. I can't wit for the next book to come out to know what happens next with her and her men. Gabriel Thorne and Lia Holland did an amazing/excellent job narrating this book 📖

Literal rise from the ashes
Rise of the Phoenix
Callie is in an accident that should have in essence killed her she rises with the use of magic she never knew she had. She is a phoenix. She is trying to revenge the death of her best friend. Found by a jaguar shiftier who is immediately hit with the feelings that this woman is his meat. With her resurrection the mating call is felt by a bear shifter, a wolf shifter and a hawk shifter. These four men have to get Callie to resize her power and understand that they have a calling all while balancing the everyone’s personality.

First JL book I've listened to, won't be the last!
Before this audiobook, I had never heard of JL Madore, and I am a huge RH fan. I am so glad I gave it a shot because I fell for this story hook, line, and sinker. I enjoyed the concept and loved seeing all the different shifters (some more unique than others, which made me super happy too). The MC grew on me as the story continued, I was not 100% onboard with her in the beginning, but as the book continued, you kinda got to understand her more and see her interactions with the guys of her future harem and I understood her better. I really loved the personalities and the clashes we saw within the team. I thought it was definitely more realistic than the instant happy with no tension RH stories. This pack has issues that they will need to deal with on this tumultuous journey. I looooved most of the guys and the one we all wanted to throttle was definitely not on my good side. I hope he redeems himself more in book 2. I liked the twists (some were predictable but others were a nice touch) and I am intrigued by the subplot and the villains introduced and alluded to.
In terms of narration, I thought both Lia and Gabriel did a good job. Nothing outright frustrated me (which is always a plus haha) and they made me believe the characters. The outward arrogance of Hawk, the accents were awesome, and the snobbish attitude of the elite, all on point. I loved how you could tell the A/B/O relationships and hierarchy. The performances allowed for that dynamic to show through (especially the omega good vibes/calming nature).
Definitely would recommend this story, can't wait to listen to book 2!!

Intense and Intriguing
Title: Rise of the Phoenix
Author: J.L. Madore
Format: Audio
Narrator: Lia Holland, Gabriel Thorne
Genre: Romance, RH, Paranormal (shifter - Jaguar, bear, hawk, wolf, phoenix)
Standalone: No - This part of the story is done but overarching story is just beginning
Part of a Series: Book 1 of Guardians of the Phoenix
POV: Calli, Jaxx, Brant, Nakotah, Hawk
Steam Level: Steamy at times
5/5
Bears, wolves, jaguars, hawks and phoenixes oh my. Faes, orcs, and many other creatures abound in this gripping story. Rise of the Phoenix is the first book of this series and boy does it hook you from the start. Violence, suspense and a mating bond abound and I can't waif for more.
I received this audiobook for free from Audiobook Obsession and Pink Flamingo Productions. This is my honest and voluntary review.

RH written by a 15 year old
The writing is so poor. Where are all these high ratings coming from???? Okay, you can be completely unoriginal and still pull off an interesting story, I've seen it done. However, when you have a "single white female to save them all" style plot at least try and make it believable. The story just seems so pointless and dumb to me. The insta-love attraction is done in such a way too fast-burn direction to be an actual story/ journey. She literally tells them " hay, I want to have sex with you, you, you and you", in comes the paper thin plot; the end. That's literally all this book has to offer along with the robotic sounding, mock-indecisive FMC and these one-note male characters. IDK, I think mostly, I don't like the author's high school like writing style. Completely lacking in depth or real character. There was a lot of opportunity to make a great fantasy romance, but the execution was at best nil to mediocre for an RH.

Great Start to a new series!
Narrated by: Lia Holland , Gabriel Thorne - I loved how this pair worked together! Their collaboration was well done! Good work you two!
Review:
This is Book 1 in a series! This was a great start to a new series! I loved the way the author was able to pull me in, make me feel as if I was watching a mind movie, thanks to the great collaberation between the narrators. I love stories that have the FMC begin her new life knowing nothing about the supernatural world. It is one of my favorite tropes and I read this trope the most. I look forward to checking out book 2 in audio as well! I just hope that Hawk pulls his head out of his bum!

Just WOW!!
Rise of the Phoenix by JL Madore and narrated by Lia Holland and Gabriel Thorne is the first in the Guardians of the Fae series.
We meet Calliope, prefers Callie, as one of her harem finds her after a fatal car accident, HER fatality. But as the name says, the Phoenix rises from the ash. Callie was human and now she is being confronted with all the Fae/supernaturals living in the world. We meet the Hawk, who thinks he runs everything, the Bear who is big in both forms, the Wolf who is kind and compassionate, and the Jaguar who is the epitome of the southern gentleman. Both narrators did a wonderful job with bringing each character to life.
Would I listen to this book again? YES
Would I recommend this book to others? Yes
Fair warning about the cliffhanger.

Enjoyed it!
Great story with interesting characters. I like the variation in the quint. The narrator does a good job telling the story and I am looking forward to starting the next book in the series. I'm rooting for Hawk in the next book.

Monsters, Magic and Mates!
I loved these elements in my romance and this one didn't dissapoint in the least.
The plot was predictable and the characters were interesting.
The narration was enjoyable.
Overall this worked for me
