About This Book
Blayne Thorpe has spent a decade trying to forget Bo Novikov, but the seven-foot polar bear shifter has a talent for making himself impossible to ignore. When a dangerous threat forces him back into her life as an unwanted protector, the two find themselves stuck together in a remote Maine town populated by bears who are only marginally less chaotic than they are. Shelly Laurenston's fifth Pride installment blends paranormal romance with sharp comedic timing, pairing a restless wolfdog heroine with a methodical, patient bear who is absolutely certain he knows how this story ends.
Charlotte Kane brings considerable charm to the narration, capturing Blayne's frenetic energy and Bo's deliberate calm as complementary forces rather than simple opposites. Her comedic instincts are well-suited to Laurenston's style, keeping the banter crisp without undermining the genuine warmth underneath. At nearly twelve hours, the runtime gives the slow-burn dynamic room to breathe, and Kane's pacing trusts listeners to enjoy the journey rather than rush toward resolution.
