What did I think about it?
Another Gripping Story In This Addictive Paranormal Romance Series
I’m a fan of Donna’s books and have listened to most of this series. As I’ve said before, her writing style is easy to read and I like the way she paces the development of her plots. I love the fantasy world that Donna has created. Her characters are never just good or evil, she creates complex souls with a multifaceted mix of positive and negative traits. This makes them more credible; bringing them to life in my mind.
I connect to a story more when the female protagonist has certain personality traits.
Chevonne’s journey wasn’t easy at times, but I admired her intelligence, resilience and strength. Chevonne is a brave and loyal woman: I loved learning about her life and getting to know her in this story. Ruarc, being a Reaper, obviously, means that we’ve met him before in previous books. However, it was great to get beneath his skin and get inside his head during this one. In fact, I liked the way that we learnt more about existing characters in this tale as well as some new faces too.
Victoria McGloven is still a fairly new-to-me voice actor.
I enjoyed her performance and liked the pace at which she read this book. However, I found her reading of the narrative lacked emotion during certain scenes. The voices she created for the different characters meant that I was never confused as to who was speaking. Victoria managed to capture Chevonne’s personality perfectly; conveying her emotions, hopes and worries to a tee.
Donna loves the romantic aspect between her lead couple to be concluded by the end of each book.
I love Happy Ever After endings too. Woop! Woop! But Dark Alpha’s Passion isn’t just about the romance between Chevonne and Ruarc. There are a couple of other plot threads weaved together in this tale. I liked that we had these other storylines to follow while watching the trials and tribulations of Chevonne and Ruarc’s romance.
I really enjoyed this audiobook; it was a tale that kept me listening from start to finish!
Dark Alpha’s Passion has everything that I look for in a good paranormal romance story; adventure, mystery, action, great characters, some humour, romance and a sprinkling of passion.
Content Warning:
This book has graphic violence and explicit sex as well as some darker themes. Therefore, I’d only recommend this book to adults who are OK reading material of this nature.
I’d recommend Dark Alpha’s Passion to adults who enjoy paranormal romance tales. Readers who’re looking for honourable heroes and heroines who have plenty of gumption. Especially those fans who want a gripping multi-layered backstory with action, romance, oh, and a bit of blush-worthy titillation.
