I Couldn't Stop Reading/Listening!

I have become a fan of Teresa Gabelman’s writing style; I find her books easy to read, the plots are gripping, the pace is fast but never feels rushed and I am drawn in with believable main characters & a fantastic array of supporting cast (both human and vampire) that leaves me wanting to read more of their adventures. Jared did not disappoint.

Those of you that have read my reviews before, will know that I enjoy a story more if the lead female character is intelligent, resilient and has a good sense of humour - I wasn’t disappointed here. Tessa is everything that I look for in a lead female character; she's smart, witty and has plenty of gumption, she has a strong moral compass and loyalty that makes her fight for her family and those she considers under her care and although she's got a bit of a chip on her shoulder about her figure, hey what women hasn't, it kinda made her feel more real, easier to relate to.

I downloaded the whisper-syn narration and was impressed with Jeffrey Kafer's performance; the pace of his narration was just right, his intonations added depth and I enjoyed his vocal variances for the dialogue.

I loved that this book had me blubbering like a baby, got my blood boiling with rage but also laughing my socks off and while I must confess that I found certain scenes terrifying and shocking, Jared definitely hit all the right spots passion-wise *blush* and warmed my old romantic heart.

So, ummm, was there anything I disliked about it?
Nope, not a thing, hence the 5 stars.

However, I would take this opportunity to remind you that the story arcs relating to the new half-breeds and the vampire blood drug trade continues in various forms throughout this series. Ms Gabelman does weave basic details into her books, so that new readers are not completely lost and although I don’t think that it’s essential to your enjoyment of Jared to have read the previous book, I do feel that you’d miss an awful lot if you haven’t read Damon first.

So, basically what I’m saying is...
I really loved this paranormal romance story! It's got everything that I look for in a great book; action, romance, humour, an engaging plot-line and well written erotic sex scenes. Couldn't stop reading it!

Due to the nature of the storyline, the graphic violence and sexual content (it’s definitely steamy) I’d recommend this book to adults only who are fans of relationship and romance tales with gritty storylines and lots of passion.

Amazing!

I never thought I’d enjoy an audible book because it would take the imagination out of a book. But I was sorely mistaken and cannot get enough of these books. I have read all of The Protectors Books by Teresa Gabelman more times than I can count. I plan on listening to them just as many times. Highly recommend! You won’t be disappointed.

A refreshing take on a old genre

What did you like most about Jared?

This is the second story in the series but also be read as a stand alone story it delves into the insecurities of a young woman who Jared claims and in doing so allows Tessa to bloom into a more confident person

Who was your favorite character and why?

My favourite character is Jill. She is a shy quiet girl who is forced to deal with the problems, whilst dealing with her own problems she interacts well with the other characters and with some pushing from Tessa she emerges from her quiet she'll to become a strong character.

Which scene did you most enjoy?

I enjoyed the fair ground scene the most. The descriptions of all the attractions and booths / stalks gave me a clear picture in my mind

Was this a book you wanted to listen to all in one sitting?

Yes

Any additional comments?

I like Jeffrey Kaffer as a narrator some narrators can ruin a good story, but I like the fact that he has the ability to use different voices for different characters. When I first heard him narrating I was a little unsure as he seemed to have a very monotone voice but once the action started I found his descriptions and intimations were perfect for the story. As a result I now have several books narrated by him.

Another good one

I absolutely love this series. Narrator does a brilliant job. I've read all of them but listened countless of times to these on Audible. Waiting very impatiently for the rest of the series to be available on Audible.

Vampires and more

I really enjoyed how this book flowed. Especially payback from Damen. Looking forward to continuing this series as these Warriors get all tied up finding their mates.

Awful narration but good story

Loved the story, but the narrator was bloody awful. Frustrated that the rest aren't available.
