Details Matter, but Love Julie Trettel Books!

I don't review every audible book listen to because I listen to a lot of them and I have to say Julie Trettel's "The Westin and Collier Pack" series is one of my all time favorites. Every story is unique, fun, sexy and you can relate to all characters. So, I have to say, I do catch all the details and I was a little disappointed when I listened to this book and caught things that just didn't make sense. First, you have a sexy dark haired man with a brown Wolf on the cover of this book, when the main story in this book "His Fierce Mate" is Austin and he has RED hair and his wolf is GREY! C-mon now, how hard is it to have your cover match the character in the story?! Secondly, James's human mate Katherine is described as being very pregnant with a huge belly in this book, well the book before this telling us James's story when he knew Katherine was his "True Mate", Lilly Collier was very pregnant, so how can Lilly still be very pregnant with her 4th child in this story when Katherine is now very pregnant. I'm just saying, little details matter and Julie usually doesn't make these type of mistakes! Shifters have they pups/babies a lot sooner than humans, so Lilly should have already had her baby in this book and I was hoping to hear Thomas finally got his boy.

However, all in all the story was great and I still love Julie's Wolf Shifter books and I will continue to buy and listen to all of them.

Good Stories, Robotic Narration!

I wanted to give the AI narration a try and although the voice is very pleasant there is no emotion or personality that I hear with a human voice, not to mention every character has the same voice, where as, a human narrator uses different voices that bring the characters to life.

Also, as a shifter book lover, I was disappointed in the story "A secret baby for daddy bear". Everyone knows that shifters have a six sense and can sniff out anything, so for Dax a STRONG bear shifter not know Jennifer was pregnant was just ridiculous. But other than that, the stories were okay.

So honestly, it's up to you, if you want a pleasant voice that just pretty much reads the story and gives no personality to the characters choose A1, however, if you want to elevate your audible experience and you want to hear different voices, feel emotion from the characters stick with human narrators.

Reading or listening to this book is definitely a commitment, but as a person who loves fantasy and shifter type books, I was willing to give the commitment. I will say for the first half of the book Sylvia was on my last nerve, so annoying, but I liked Kiel and the other characters, so I stuck with it. The overall story is very good, however, I don’t like when they started doing chapters saying 9 years ago or 15 years ago, because the back and forth of years past and current is confusing and frustrating. They should have just started from years before and told the story of how the current people came to be. Towards the end, Sylvia becomes more likeable, and the story gets better. I am off to part two, which is another 26 hours, but now that I am hooked on the story and invested in the characters, I am willing to continue the journey.

Liz Cheney, A True Patriot!

As a strong Independent, I always admired Liz Cheney even though I didn’t always agree with all of her beliefs and policies. However, to see her courage and stand up for “Truth, Integrity and our Constitution” showed what a true American Patriot she is. She never drank the Maga Juice and didn’t lie to save her own career to stay in power. I find it funny that the strong women are the ones standing up for truth and most GOP men, not all, but most will do anything to stay in power and keep collecting the check, but what they don’t realize is that they have stained their family name and legacy as they will be remembered in history of being cowards, liars and total hypocrites, whereas, Liz will be remembered as a True Patriot of our beautiful country and will be remembered for years to come for her courage, integrity and TRUE Patriotism.

For anyone who stands for truth should read or listen to her book, it’s amazing. I always respected the past GOP and have no idea how the current Maga GOP is helping our country. However, looking back at history shows us over and over again that darkness does not win and eventually they will be wiped out and light and balance will return and that gives me, and millions of other Independents hope for our future.

Good job Liz, you are truly one amazing woman!

Denial of Lies Finally Led Her to The TRUTH!

I wanted to listen to Cassidey’s story to see her mindset on how a very educated woman could fall into cult like behavior that was so extremely feckless, causing so much damage, harm, and death to our country, by covering up lies and corruption at the highest level of our country.

As a very proud Independent, I am completely saddened that we lost the credible Republican party we once had, and that 30% of the extreme right has put such a dark energy over our country to the point that we are now considered an embarrassment from other countries. On the outside looking in the chaos in our government was and is so clear, and yet 30% of the people in this country will follow corruption right over the cliff and many have even died over lies regarding the Covid outbreak, simply astounding!

Cassidy was considered a “hero”, but I did not see that, I saw a woman that finally faced the truth when the Maga GOP made it clear she was not welcomed there anymore. She said it herself in the book that she tried to justify the lies knowing they were wrong while she served the chief of staff and former President and was even all set to move to Florida after the Jan 6th sedition, so I will not put her in the same category as the real women I consider strong, and courageous, such as, Liz Cheney and Alyssa Farrah Griffin, but thankfully in the end, her own conscience got the best of her and she finally did the right thing and told the truth and letting go of the lunacy thinking and her private masked façade of despair, Just think about that, we are now rewarding people for telling the truth, how sad is that!

I have to say, I had really mixed feelings listening to her story, but I am happy to see she finally put country over corruption and did the right thing, I really hope as a country people wake up and start believing like the old Republican party, which was a party that valued the constitution and law.

Henry Winkler is an amazing narrator, he brings so much life to his story when he reads it and that is why I love audible books! I love his honesty on how hard it was for him after his role on Happy Days, and of course how his dad affected him as a person, but I hope he has learned that a lot of us did not define him only as the "Fonz", but has a great actor and author. I also loved his story on how he met his wife and how she in her own words told us how she felt. All in all, I absolutely loved listening to this book and Henry's story. I listen to a lot of audible books and I have tons in my library, but I have to say this is one of my favorites, because I can just feel what a kind genuine, not to mention very funny person that we know as Henry Winkler.

Bravo, excellent book
xoxo

Wow, I think Diana would be so proud! In today's world it is hard for people to hear the truth and unfortunately, we live in a world of hate and criticism especially in the media. The British media is the worst in my opinion and it really boggles my mind why the people in that country continue to purchase their papers and buy into their lies. The American media is not much better they are too judgy and love to spill the tea on everything the U.S. is doing that ensures our enemies know our every move.

I am proud to say, I didn't buy one single tabloid after the death of Princess Diana, not one!! I also moved to streaming, so I listen to very little media, and I take whatever they say with a grain of salt and make up my own mind on things, such as, Harry's book!!

You can think whatever you want about the Royal People, but for me, Harry is definitely the most like his mom, princess Diana and I truly believe she is with him at this very moment giving him her love and support and is so proud of him for telling his truth, which I believe, is pretty much her truth, as well.

I really never understood the Royal Family although I had great respect for the Queen, but never understood why she allowed a future king to marry his mistress. Totally mind boggling and is why I will never ever visit that Country again.

Everything happens for a reason and although it was hard for Harry to understand that he will never get the respect from his own people, we love him here in America and I believe he can finally find some peace here with his amazing family.

So bravo Harry, you finally got to tell your truth and who cares what people think, right!? Dark Souls are going to continue to hate, because they are afraid of light. But light always overcomes darkness and I believe your mom was so beneficial in helping you find your light.

I thank you for your story, I loved it and I wish you and your family a lifetime of happiness. You truly are your mother’s son. xoxo

I absolutely loved this book! The way Michelle writes her stories are so relatable and I resonated with quite a bit of the stories she shared in this book. I believe Michelle is the most relatable first lady of all time, and she is certainly my favorite, that's for sure. She gives hope and brings so much positivity to people that only see negativity in our world right now. I loved this book so much I found myself going back and relistening to chapters that I truly connected with and wanted to hear again how she dealt with the issue and believe me, it helped so much.

Thank you, Michelle, for always going high when people go low, instead of constantly seeing people going lower especially in our current House of Representatives it is so refreshening to finally hear someone with common sense, TRUTH, and what we all need right now and that's balance.

Mediocre Storyline, Robotic Narrator!

This is my first and last audible listen to books by Alice Jamison. The storyline in this bundled series had potential, but overall it was simply mediocre and by the end of the series, I really didn't even like Elsa. She became so annoying to the point where I just wanted it to be over. The narration of this book is probably the worst I have heard yet and I have listened to hundreds of books, she was so robotic and didn't give the characters any personality at all. Even the romantic scenes were awful and ackward.

This is 15 hours that I will never get back, however this is just my opinion, you may feel differently. I recommend you listen to the sample first before putting your time and energy into this audible read.

One thing I LOVE about Julie's book's is that she incorporates other characters from other series and I love that I know the background of the characters mentioned. I totally recommend that you listen to " Westin Pack Series" as well as, " Wolves of Collier Pack" in that order to get the highest elevation as a listener/reader due to all the character connections.

I'm on book 5 of the ARC Shifter series and this was about Jesse finding her mate in Tim. However, because i knew all about Oliver's and Peyton's story (book 4- Broken Chains in the Wolves of Collier Pack) and Lilly and Thomas's story ( Book 5- Can't Be Love in the Westin Pack Series) this story was totally elevated for me.

I was also excited to hear other characters in this story that I love so much, like when Chad "Squirrel Shifter" was mentioned, as well as, others!

I really LOVE the creative storytelling that Julie gives me as an audible reader and I am totally hooked as a listener and I am going through each of her series, one by one, and again, I'm loving that past characters always come back in other series.

I am now onto Marie's story. I can't wait to get started!
