This started out a bit slow for me – I wasn’t really sure I was going to be able to get into it
I’m so glad I was patient
Once I was hooked I was lost –
Strong lead characters, devilish plot twists, all the things that make for a great read
I definitely look forward to more with regards to the supporting characters and their stories
Exhale is a great way to describe how I felt at the end of this book, like I could finally exhale with some much needed relief. This book tosses you are around until you are not sure you can take any more and then throws in more twists and turns. This is a paranormal romance at its best with shifter werewolves and the elusive omegas that are very rare and even more rare in this case of this read. I loved, loved all the characters in this book. Even when I hated Nic, I loved him…and I loved Ellie and her relationship with her dad, Jack. Jack…gah he stole all my heart and soul, he was that wonderful of a character. I just adored him. I loved how Ellie’s transition was never shied away from and how, Jack loved her for her. Nic was so gruff and unreachable until it came to Ellie and Jack, and then he was a much ball that I just could not get enough of. This is full of the feels and Kirt Graves on the narration delivered on all fronts. A definite must read and will definitely be continuing this series.
An unexpected surprise. It started out kind of meh for me. At first Jack seemed like a bumbling idiot. Nicolae an asshole. But Kirt Graves narration made me continue listening. So glad I did. This story had depth and so much character development. Jack’s love for his daughter surpassed all the preconceived notions I had for him. I’m a mother and would do anything for my child no matter what, just like he did. He is so much more however, he’s got a kind heart, brave, faithful, honest, and compassionate. Nicolae, now he took awhile to grow on me with the way he treats people especially Jack. His condescending attitude got on my nerves until I realized he had a superiority complex as a defensive mechanism. I grow to love it all though, the twist and turns, the humor, the steamy scenes, the action and witty banter. Joel Abernathy wrote a complex plot so good I couldn’t help but love it. As for the narration. The first time I heard Kirt Graves I was hooked, but this book, he outdid himself. The voices, the accents, and all the emotions behind his every spoken word was absolute perfection. One of the best audiobooks I’ve ever listened to.
Think Opposite of Meet Cute. Exhale is Meet Hate but I can’t Keep Away from Youuu. By the end of the book this Reader adored both of them even if her being part of Team Shifter gave Nicolae an automatic claw hold above the human narrator Jack. Who says devious females don’t make excellent villainesses? Gotta watch those Grrrrrrls. Jack’s unfailing support for his transgendered daughter despite the turns of plot gives us the archetype this reader can’t get enough of: the fierceness of love.
