This review is for the audiobook. Passion Never Dies is a bundle of 4 novellas which tell the story of Dawn and Jake, lovers bound together by time, history, and so much more… I wasn’t sure what to expect going into this series. Anna Durand surprises me all the time with her fresh ideas and unexpected characters and plot twists. This story has elements of Sci-Fi, fantasy, fated mates, and they all come together with Dawn, who is an resurrected Egyptian princess whose mummified body is rejuvenated by a biotech firm. We quickly learn there is a lot more to the story when a magical element is introduced and brings another layer to the story. Jake is her devoted rescuer from the moment she wakes up and that connection grows from there. There are a lot of powers against them including bad guys with escalating reasons and significant memory loss. I’m a sucker for people who belong together and find a way to make it work in spite of all the odds against them.
There were a few things that pulled me out of the story a bit and required me to suspend disbelief in a few places, but the narration is so good I really did enjoy the characters and the story. Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock work so well together and really brought their talent to this story. I really enjoyed their performances in this interesting story. The narration made it for me!
I received an #AdvancedListenerCopy of this book in exchange for my honest review.
This book was a series of novellas following Dawn and Jake. This story was action-packed, suspenseful and sexy that I couldn’t stop listening. I loved the reincarnation twist of the story and it was so unpredictable with all the twist and turns. The story is elevated with the narration by Stella Hunter and Aaron Sherlock. They did an incredible job with this story.
Fascinating paranormal romance anthology from Anna Durand.
Passion Never Dies is the complete Reborn series in one anthology. It involves mystery, paranormal abilities, reincarnation and conflict centuries in the making. It’s a fast-paced thrilling story. While it’s different from the majority of Anna Durand’s newest works (Hot Scots, Hot Brits) which are contemporary rom-coms, it still has Anna’s trademark wit, ability to weave a tale, create complicated characters and deliver a well-rounded story that keeps you engrossed.
Narrated by Stella Hunter and Aaron Shedlock, this was a truly entertaining listen that delivered hours of enjoyment. Stella and Aaron are two of my favorite narrators, and for good reason. You never feel like they are just reading the words on the page. They embody the emotions and amp up the tension.

There is also this unexplained familiar connection they share and an inst-chemistry with a lot of sexual anticipated tension that leaves them puzzled but wanting.
