5 STAR REVIEW:
I totally love listening to Alexander Collins on audio, there is something about his voice that draws you into the story, and also means you get annoyed when you have to stop!!
We meet Noah when he awakens in hospital after an accident, and he is confused, and wants Clark with him. When Clark arrives, the story switches from Noah present and Clark past, but you don't lose what is happening with the story, it just explains what has been happening and how the two met.
To confuse everything further, it soon becomes apparent that Noah seems to have lost the last three years of his life... but what happened to make him do this? Clark finally tells Noah the truth of what happened three years ago, and as Clark starts to explain Noah suddenly remembers everything, and inside he is shouting "No, no, no", as the realisation sets in on what he had done., and the fact that these last three years had been hell.
When Noah is released from the hospital, he and Clark go to the house they had brought together, and they actually sit and talk over what happened three years ago, and Noah soon realises that Clark is blaming himself for everything. Can he convince Clark that it wasn't his fault, that they were both at fault really - Noah for doing what he did and Clark for not staying to talk things through.
Things seems to be going well, but then things go awry when Ben (Noah's brother), arrives at the house. Can their relationship survive the revelation that Ben reveals??

5 STAR REVIEW:
Surprisingly, this is one Cardeno C book that I have not read yet (will be remedied soon, as although I have the audio I have now also brought the book to read too!). This I believe, is the first audio that I have listened to narrated by Robert M. Clark, and I will be looking out for more that he has done. I love his narration, the voices he uses, and the emotion (sad and happy) that came across. His narration was also very clear, and I loved listening to him.
From what you first hear, straight away you realise that Rafi has a total dislike for Issac, and even Issac seems slightly confused at Rafi's dislike of him. Things become clearer as to why Rafi feels like this, and you can't help but agree with Rafi, but at the same time feel sorry for Issac - who doesn't come across as the same person Rafi remembers.
Issac has found out where Rafi lives and was waiting for him outside - much to Rafi's disbelief. He tells Issac that he doesn't want to spend time with him, and shows Issac the door. However, when Rafi finishes his shower, he hears noises in his kitchen, and without putting any clothes on goes to investigate... and renders Issac speechless!!
Issac had brought takeout for them both, and while eating they start talking and Rafi realises he is attracted to Issac, and from the look on Issac's face the feeling is mutual - but can Rafi ever trust the man who he believes bullied and belittled him at school??
Does Issac stand any chance with Rafi? Is Rafi remembering things correctly, or does talking to Issac surprisingly being up some things that Rafi had forgotten?

Two Alpha shifters join together to lead their pack and build a family. Commitment, loyalty, and strength aren't enough to make Wesley Stone's birth pack accept an Alpha with a physical imperfection, even if it's a meaningless mark.

Alphas from Jobe Root's family have led the Red River pack from the first day shifters walked the earth. Now the time has come for Jobe to fulfill his destiny, but to do that, he needs his mate by his side. Spiritual, easygoing Jobe reveres Mother Nature and trusts
in fate, yet he can't help being nervous about how his mate will react to his new life in Red River, his new life with Jobe.
Two Alphas with contrasting personalities, different upbringings, and divergent beliefs come together for the good of their packs. But to stay together, Wesley and Jobe must see beyond the surface and embrace every facet of themselves and their union.

5 STAR REVIEW:
I have read the book of this story, and for some reason it hit a chord with me. When I was asked to review the audio, I jumped at the chance to see if this was as good as the book.
The narrator of this audio is new to me, and I have to say I really enjoyed listening to his voice. I actually listened to all of the audio without a break - so good was the narration.
I totally loved Wesley in this story. He was shunned for all his life, due to what his birth pack believed was a scar on his stomach. Due to this they believed that he wasn't good enough to be alpha of the Purple Sky Pack, but Wesley didn't really realise until he was told that there was a trade between his pack and Red River who both needed an Alpha to lead the pack - basically Wesley believed he had been whored to another pack..... but man, was he wrong about that.
Jobe comes across as a gentle man, compassionate and all the other qualities that an Alpha needs. When Wesley arrives at Red River, Jobe is totally smitten with him, although he can feel Wesleys unease when he first arrives. He decides to take things gently with Wesley, and begins to show him all that Red River has to offer.
Wesley soaks information like a sponge about his new pack, but he is still frightened of showing people his "scar" and then finding that this new pack no longer wants him around due to his disfigurement As time goes on, Wesley settles into life at Red River with Jobe, but it soon becomes apparent that Wesley isn't aware of some things that are important to Red River, such as there are two Alphas to run this particular pack, and also what his "scar" actually means.
Can Jobe finally get through the barriers that Wesley has erected, and show him that he is wanted in Red River. What will Wesley think when he finally finds out the truth about his "scar"?
