About this listen

Stella:
Chasing rumors of a legendary beast prowling these mountains sounded like the perfect thrill. When I finally find it, things don’t go as planned—because instead of a mythical creature, I end up spraying a very human, very furious ranger with bear spray. Whoops. Alex may be intimidating, but he's also as stubborn as I am. Now, the real challenge isn’t finding the beast… It's dealing with a man who might be more than I can handle.

Alex:
My job as a ranger doesn’t usually include being mistaken for a rampaging bear, but today is apparently special. When Stella shows up—wild-eyed and brandishing bear spray—I’m blinded, furious, and determined to get answers. But as it turns out, she's searching for something impossible and isn’t willing to leave until she’s satisfied with her findings. Somehow, I can't stop being drawn into her chaos. Even if it makes me the so-called “beast” she’s after.

The narrator

Love a good saucy story, and short ones are even better! Quick and to the point! I LOVE a good audible. The voice and tone of this narrator was mesmerizing. I hope to hear more from her, soon!

Stella and Alex

After an intense meet-cute and a "painful" argument Stella and Alex become instantly infatuated with each other. Stella's "take no prisoners" personality has her going for what she wants and that just happens to be Alex. This short insta-love steamy romance is definitely worth the listen.

Alex and Stella

Story: Stella’s (h) life needs a spark and is tired of the mundane, she sets out for an adventure in the rugged wilderness of Willowbrook Ridge, chasing down rumors of a mysterious, towering beast. She instead finds Alex (H), a brooding mountain ranger who guards the land with a fierce determination and his heart. When their worlds collide in an awkward, adrenaline-fueled encounter, neither of them expects the intensity of the connection that follows. For Stella, Alex is everything she’s been craving: wild, untamed, and completely captivating. For Alex, Stella represents both a challenge to his solitary existence and an irresistible force he can’t push away. As the boundaries between them blur, their undeniable attraction ignites into a fiery romance that neither of them saw coming. Hot and steamy mountain man romance, exploring find love in unexpected places, fears, vulnerability, commitment, loyalty, and connection.

Audio: Narrator Tiffany Hertz does a good job with the story and the tone she brings to the characters. The audio quality is good and there were no issues.

Did Not Like Narrator

Mountain man romances are so much fun and this story itself is cute, but I did not like the audiobook unfortunately.

The first thing I noticed is that it sounds... I don't know- like the mic quality is poor. In most audiobooks the narrators sound clear enough that they could be in the room with you talking. With this recording, you can hear that it's a recording; like there's almost a distance between you and the character. I picture it like hearing someone talking to you over a phone- you can hear them clearly, but not like they are there with you. I can also hear little faint pop sounds in the background- I'm guessing these sounds happen when sentence recordings stop and then the next recorded sentences start again.

Tiffany's voice for the heroine was fine, but her male voice is not good. At times she sounded the way a woman might mock a man by trying to imitate his voice. At times it felt jarring for this reason. It is my personal preference for mountain man romances, or ones that have a stong alpha male character, to have a male narrator for that character because sadly women can't get that deep voice. Very few female narrators (that I've listened to at least) can pull off a man's voice well enough that I completely forget it's a woman voicing him. Oftentimes to me it just sounds like another woman just with a little deeper of a voice, and it doesn't suit this type of character.

Tiffany Hertz also made mistakes. At one line in chapter 2, she flubs the sentence: "She kicks off her shoes and peals off her socks." She either got tongue-tied or cut off at the word "peal," and restarted the line from the beginning. But left the messed up original sentence still there for me to hear. She clearly should have removed it, not left it in. And this also tells me the author or whomever is supposed to listen to the audio to make sure all is good clearly didn't because it's impossible to miss. Considering this is only a one hour listen, it just feels very sloppy.

The story itself may be cute, but I could not listen to this narrator again.

I never thought of bear spray as an aphrodisiac before, but hey, I’m not going to kink shame.
Narration- is terrible! The narrator has an incredibly annoying voice and she makes a lot of mistakes. I’m lowering the overall score by a star because of it.
