4 different types of shifters but closely connected

Hang in for the first hour of narration, I almost gave up, but there’s a reason he makes the female sound so horrible. All have really great characters and uniquely different storylines. There was only one sex scene in 1st but they got better & more detailed. I’ve read several of her books & my biggest complaint is that when they shift they do it dressed & return fully dressed, that would so not truly happen. I also like hotter more consistent sex in each book. The narration by Mr Borne was really good & glad I didn’t give up on what I thought was his lack of skill, but he was in character.

Couldn’t do it

I tried to get through the first book and just couldn’t stand it any longer. The story, characters and narration are terrible. What a waste of a credit.

Definitely Part of My Library

This is one of the series I have always enjoyed re-reading and re-listening to. With such great stories we'll narated, who wouldn't

Better than expected

I had low expectations for this book after some other duds of similar genre. Not sure that it doesn’t have some bearing on my review. I enjoyed all 4 books and was quite entertained. As a bundle they were totally worth the credit used.

The individual stories are very exciting!

The highs and lows are plausible within this fantasy world. I especially like how the new mates are woven into part of the Special Ops group. I love how they continue to help the unique needs of shifter-kind.
The ONLY exception is the final story with the dragons. Nowhere are we shown that despite Garrison's growing family and business concerns that the Special Ops Shifter group is continuing with its vital work.
It would have been nice to have a final book showing this new group dynamic within the SOS. Would have rounded out the series nicely and carried the story past the Christmas season and into the New Year.

Weak

I finally finished the first book although I felt that I was listening to a grade school story (except for the final sex scene). Drake & Nikki are both underdeveloped characters & so is the story until the last few chapters. I like HEA stories but this was too much like Cinderella. Finally, near the end, we’re told what Drake does for a living - it would’ve helped to have known sooner. In the final scenes, the 2 MC find love - no building toward any feelings. The sex scene was bland bc there had been no tension leading to it. I’m returning the next 3 stories regardless if Audible returns my credit. I want mature stories as opposed to a hastily crafted fairy tale.

Ft. Carson, CO

As an Army brat, there is an Army post in Colorado Springs too. It actually is right across a highway from the mountains. It is named Ft. Carson and has been there for A LONG time. So, Flint could've kept his discharge papers the same.

cute

the narrator was really good! The story had a bit to be desired, but over all its not a bad listen while doing other things.

A typical werewolf romance

The characters are well planned out, but after halfway through, you can predict the outcome. It was fun and I enjoyed it. The narration was good and added a little flare to the characters. Overall, it is 4 stars. A few more unexpected twists would have been nice.

Wouldn't use a credit for!

This audiobook actually has four books in for one credit on Audible. Though I am not a fan of the narrator, I did enjoy a couple of the books. The first book is Daddy Soldier Bear; this is one that has some very hard subjects to listen too. This is the single parent trope, along with a few other tropes, obviously the shifter trope, there is a suspenseful romance trope to this one as well as the other three. I was on pins and needles for this particular part of the audiobook, this one I feel is probably the most suspenseful of all four of the books. I listened to the sample and thought that this series would be more than what it was, it was still a decent listen for all four books. There were things about each book that I was not a fan of, though each book was okay, I did enjoy some parts of each book. 

    The second book Fake Mate for the Solider Lion; this book is one that frustrated me for multiple reasons. This book has mulitple tropes like the other three books it has suspense, forced proximity, mates, and a mystery to be solved. However I couldn't handle the way that they two main characters interacted for a good chunk of the book. 

    Book three was a wolf shifter book called; Captured by the Soldier Wolf, this book was one that I enjoyed a little more than the others, for the most part. Forced proximity, hostiage, single mom and lone wolf tropes are all covered in this particular part of the audiobook. I may have a little bit of a soft spot for this book being set in Colorado Springs, Colorado. I enjoyed knowing a little bit about the locations that were the settings of this book.

    The last book is Christmas with the Soldier Dragon, the main reason I waited till Decemeber to listen to this book was because of this part of the audiobook. This was a little different take on the shifter series than the rest, and though I enjoyed it I felt it was lacking a little something and that this book could have had more too it. Having believed that he was the last Dragon it is interesting to see how this man, who thought he'd be alone forever handles finding a mate is interesting.

    Over all these books are all a pepper rating of Serrano Pepper, the explict scenes that are in each book are few and far between but might get you a little toasty. For this audiobook I have to rate it at a two out of 5 stars. I really wouldn't have paid for it again. If it was included in Audible then I may recommend giving at least the first book a try. If you like shifter books you may like these, they were just not to my taste.

I hope this helps you find your next Tantalizing Tome.
