Trusted Bond

This story just gets better. I loved jin in the first book but in this one, we learn more about his past and I felt so connected to him. I loved Logan too, but there is more going on in this book than just Logan and Jin.
The story is nail-biting, unique and kept me on the edge of my seat,
I do wish Sean Crisden was still narrating but Jeff Gelder did ok.

I cannot stress this enough - THIS IS NOT A STANDARD FLUFFY ROMANCE - these shifter stories have bite.

I love the werepanther world Calmes has built. In book two of the series, Jin and Logan are mated, but that doesn't mean that everything's calmed down, the opposite is far more true. Their growing pains trying to assimilate to the enormous changes in their lives is fascinating, maddening, and fantastic!

I loved the parts when I got to see some of Logan's struggle to be the number one in Jin's life...

“We’re different, it’s true, but not enough to matter and never enough to be apart. I don’t need to be everything; I just need to be close to it, because for me…you’re all there is.”

This was a hard story to read in a lot of places. For the majority of the story Jin and Logan are kept apart in ways that are fucking brutal to read/listen to. It's definitely NOT for the faint of heart. But, in the end we get to see a BAMF! Jin make his way back to Logan's side, and all becomes right in their world again.

“You have to have me with you. I’m your mate, Logan Church, and I am necessary.”
“More than that,” he groaned deep in the back of his throat, dropping to one knee, unable to take even one more step. “You’re it, you’re all there is.”

--AUDIOBOOK--
I love Jeff Gelder's narration. That is not to say I don't miss Sean Crisden's narration, because I kind of do. I miss Crane's Muppet voice and Logan's growly Batman voice. I'm weird, I know. I'm always skeptical and worried when they go with another narrator mid-series. Luckily Jeff Gelder does an awesome job! Considering how many times I've listened to this audio book - I cannot express my love enough for it.

Look, I'm not going to lie...Mary Calmes just does it for me. The insta-love, the sarcasm, the humor, the pain in the ass MC...it all works for me. The alpha / dominant who's also able to let his lover be himself hits all my tingly spots.

Sure, it's not going to be for everyone but, for me, it was a super enjoyable read/listen and for those who love Calmes' work, I don't think they'll be disappointed with the series.

I LOVE all of the Jin and Logan books! Fell head-over -heels with Jin in the first one and never lost my affection and affinity for his and his mate in all the succeeding volumes. Wonderful characters, good conflict between and among characters, enjoyable plot lines. If you have not begun reading this series, it's time to start. Buy them all and gorge on them till you're finished!

I was so excited that there was a part 2 to change of heart. Which is one of my all time favorites...I've listened to it at least 4 times...Sean Crisden is the best narrator for this.. and when I saw who the narrator was I was very upset and sad.
Upset because Sean wasn't continuing his narration. Sad because of the current narrator I won't be buying this sequel, which literally pains me....
So my rating is strictly for the chose of narrator and not the story it self,,.
