Nothing says you can’t steal a heart. Keeping it though? That’s another problem.
Wade Espinoza knows a thing or two about hoards. As a dragon, he’s got plenty. What he doesn’t have is a relationship, and he swears he’s not looking for one. But when he’s sent to Boston to answer a cry for help from another pack, he’s drawn into a mess of fae bargains centered around a selkie who Wade instantly becomes obsessed with.
Riordan Maguire is struggling to keep his selkie clan out of the clutches of a fae lord who will do anything to take over their territory. Partnering with the Boston god pack means coming face-to-face with the first person he’s ever wanted to willingly give his sealskin. Too bad Wade isn’t local and is something altogether strange that Riordan isn’t sure he can trust.
Amidst a growing danger in the streets and Boston Harbor, Wade and Riordan are desperate to find a way to keep everyone safe. For bargains are dangerous things to break, but so are hearts. Wade isn’t willing to shatter either of theirs in a race against time that could see Riordan torn from him forever.

This was the second book I've listened to in the Soulbound Universe and I thoroughly enjoyed it. Once again the narrator, Gary Furlong, did a great job bringing the characters to life and I love the world Hailey Turner has created and will be reading the Soulbound series sometime in the future.
I loved Wade and his sassy confidence and fun nature, though he knows when to be serious and can be very focused. Riordan has a lot on his shoulders especially now his sister's selkie coat has been stolen and he and his clan are in danger. I enjoyed Wade and Riordan and their chemistry and loved watching them become mates, giving each other the trust and affection they needed.
Wade comes to Boston to help a pack and gets drawn into assisting Riordan when they figure out they have the same enemy. I enjoyed the magic, shifters and all the other aspects of this fantasy world. A lot is going on and a lot of action and I was keen to keep listening to see how it all played out.
Though I haven't yet read the Soulbound series, I did listen to Resurrection Reprise the first Soulbound Universe book in which I initially felt I was missing a lot of background story but just like in that book I was able to piece it together and enjoy the story. You would have more of an understanding of the universe and characters if you'd read the series, but I do feel this can stand alone.
A really enjoyable fantasy novel to listen to.
I really enjoyed this!

Sent to Boston to help the god-pack there, Wade finds himself in front of the selkie he found himself attracted to at a wedding. With everything Wade has gone through, being attracted to someone is a rare event. Be aware there are some heavy topics discussed within the book, including SA.
Riordan was a great match for Wade. Steady and balanced in a way Wade needed. Patient and loving as well. Their romance is very much a slow burn and lower on the heat scale, which is appropriate given all the events of the story and Wade's past.
There's a lot going on. A thing I love about these stories and the narrator does a fantastic job giving individual voices for each of the characters. It was always very clear which POV we were in. One thing the audio did that I'm sure the book won't, is highlight the overuse of phrases. That's the only criticism I have, though.
Plenty of action, magic, and of course, food, because Wade needs to try the food everywhere he goes. The conclusion left me wanting more in this universe, but happy Wade and Riordan got their HEA.
4.5 overall
