    About this audiobook

    For years, wolf shifter Jaime Farrow has harbored a not-so-secret crush on gorgeous Dante Garcea. But the time has come for Jaime to face facts: despite her best efforts, Dante just isn’t interested. And that’s probably for the best. The last thing Jaime needs is for anyone—particularly Dante—to find out about her little “problem.” The one that haunts her past and threatens to destroy her and everyone she loves…

    As the pack Beta, workaholic Dante Garcea doesn’t have time for distractions—especially the kind promised by Jaime Farrow. It’s all he can do to keep her at arm’s length and his desire at bay. Yet when her flirtations abruptly end, Dante becomes suspicious. She’s hiding something, something big, and unless he can convince her to trust him, their entire pack could be in danger. He knows hot-headed Jaime will resist him…but Dante never takes no for an answer.

    This book contains explicit content and is recommended for mature readers.

      I wasn't sure about this one to begin with bit I got mucked in fast and couldn't stop listening. I really enjoyed the narration as well. Good cadence and voice variations.

      I love this series. Wish they had a female and Male narrator for some of those parts. But I love the characters and like that I laugh out loud

      Very similar to the first book but with betas and boobs. Still a fun listen.

      I LOVE this series so much! The protectivness of the alphas to their mates, how much they love eachother and the dominant submissive is all just *chefs kiss*

      Another really good book in the series. I liked Dante from the start of this series so I was happy that this was going to be his story. I wasn’t sure who they were going to match him up with, but I liked how it came about. I liked that it wasn’t someone directly in his original group. I love Jaime, she is strong, feisty, but also so vulnerable. I enjoy how Suzanne makes there be some issue with each of the women’s wolves in this series so far, I think it brings something new to these kind of books that you don’t really read of much. There’s a lot of action and drama in this book and of course just like the first book a lot of funny one-liners, sarcastic comebacks, and unwavering love. I wasn’t sure what was going to happen with Jaime but I like the way the story went and I loved the ending.

      (Dante & Jamie): OMG… I'm so loving this series so far. Sexy shifters, vicious antagonists, ? HOT sex scenes and an amazing plot. Jamie had been crushing on Dante for years but he has been avoiding her, not wanting to be involved with anyone. Now she's in their pack and she looks a lot different and he can't hold back. I loved that Jamie did not immediately fall all over Dante when she joined the Phoenix Pack. She kept her distance and that bothered him. Both characters have dark and sad backstories that keep them from getting attached. Doesn't stop them from doing what comes naturally. This isn't insta love, in fact, love isn't even discovered until closer to the end of the story. Really good book.

      Wicked Cravings is an awesome book! Great blend of romance, wicked interludes, and drama/ murder attempts! Fantastic & interesting characters with a good plot & storyline!

      WICKED CRAVINGS was an entertaining paranormal romance that was decidedly erotic. It follows FERAL SINS and focuses on a different pair of characters. This time Beta Dante Garcea has to deal with Jaime Farrow. Jaime and her brother have recently joined the pack and Jaime is keeping a big secret. She isn't the submissive wolf that she is pretending to be. She is actually dominant but her wolf has been traumatized by events Jaime witnessed when she was younger. Jaime is keeping her wolf in a mental cage because it is likely to attack any other wolves it she lets it free. She is afraid that, if her wolf gets control, she won't be able to regain control and will turn rogue. Rogue wolves are killed.One thing she isn't keeping secret is her attraction to pack Beta Dante Garcea. Dante has been ignoring her because he had a really bad break-up earlier and also doesn't have relationships with fellow pack members. Dante is also a world-class workaholic. But when a wolf from another pack says that Dante is her mate and has rejected her, problems start for both Dante and Jaime. Glory involves her pack's Alpha and her brothers in forcing her claim. The Alpha knows that Glory is a liar but her brothers want revenge for her imagined slight. They decide to attack Jaime after Glory confronts her about staying away from Dante and Jaime beats her up. An added complication in the person of the woman who threw Dante over for his brother just adds to the mix. Laurie is determined to get Dante back despite the fact that he has now formed a relationship with Jaime. I had some question about the whole werewolf mythology in this book that I think were probably answered in the first book. I didn't quite understand how they found their true mates or how they imprinted on each other. I'll have to read FERAL SINS to see if my questions are answered.I also had a little bit of trouble with the explicit nature of the sexual relationships in the story. The sex was graphic and borderline kinky. It just stayed on the right side of the line between consensual and non-consensual. Dante was very dominant and wasn't going to take no for an answer. Jaime, being dominant herself, wasn't a pushover though. I liked that they both had issues to overcome before they could form a relationship. And I liked that once they did, they still had to be conscious of their issues and work at them. Fans of darker, grittier paranormal romances will enjoy this story.

      Cookie-cutter story. Nothing original. It was nice to learn more about Dante. But, there really wasn't any depth to the story. It is kind of insulting really.

      Wicked Craving is the second book in the series, and I think I am torn if I liked this one better than the first. They have completely different set ups from beginning to end, but this story was packed with everything I love in a winning shifter romance. This author is definitely winning me over again and again. Now again I was able to obtain this one in audio format, and I am becoming hooked on this narrator. I love her voice and the way she portrays certain emotions to the listener. What we have here is a story of Dante (basically the beta, which means he is second in command to the alpha “Trey”). His mate is Jamie, who has always felt a connection to Dante, but knows that she can never take a mate because of emotional and psychological damage done to her wolf. Dante and Jamie were amazing together, they are equally matched, and tough as nails and equally spirited and sensual. I had the hardest time putting this story down, I was so captivated by the plot and the way that the characters were written in this story, I loved the teasing and playfulness, the sexy bedroom scenes that is hotter than hot, and the love story that is at the center of it all. Overall quite a winner for me, and I would highly recommend this to anyone that loves a sexy shifter romance to curl your toes!!

      . I truly loved feral sins ( book 1 of the Phoenix Pack series) and gave it five stars this but this second instalment was a bit disappointing to begin. The story was good but the pace of the book was off at the start and Dante was difficult to like at first. It was only from chapter 15 that I decided I liked the book and continued with it. The ending was good.
      (Obviously, the dominant wolf attitude, cheesy sex scenes and sex talk continue to be super cringey as ever but there’s something about these books that I can’t resist). I’m glad I finished the book.

      3.75 stars
    • 4/5
      This writer works largely to formula and includes lots of explicit sex BUT the characters are sufficiently differentiated with enough fun quirks so they're work gobbling down if you're a fast reader. Fun.

      This was so much fun. Jaime Farrows has known, and been in love with, Dante Garcea her entire life. Children together in Bjorn pack she saw what a bad-ass he was, even back then. But Jaime can only admire from afar due to the wild and dangerous nature of her wolf. Eventually, realising that Dante doesn't plan on jumping into bed with her any time soon (and after overhearing a conversation in which he basically calls her fat - that bastard!), she decides to save her pride and move on.Dante Garcea is Beta to Trey's Alpha. Second in command and a complete work-a-holic, he hasn't got room in his life for women who have always been in love with him, even though he secretly has the hots for her too. Or he hasn't got room for them until he realises that they're actually pretty hot, or they stop pining over him and start dating someone else. Or all three.Jealousy and sexy times ensue with a supporting cast of characters from the previous book, a sassy-as-fuck Siren, Glory-hole (she may as well be, the slut) and her brothers and Bitch Face (she's an actual character in the book - no, I'm serious!).Again, another fun book in this series. It's a basic repeat of book one: two emotionally unavailable people suddenly find themselves falling for each other with no way to stop it but the horrors of their past make it hard for them to truly open up to one another. But it's given a bit of a make-over and just different enough that you're not going to get bored.I have to say, by this book, I'm absolutely loving Dom. I also wanted to rip Bitch Face's eyes out. What a bitch face

      Dante and Jaime are just fabulous!This is book two in this series.They both should have known they were made for each other even as children,but like any ture love story that's not how it happens.
    • 5/5
      Rarely does a second book in a series live up to or even surpass the first book, but this one did it. It was fun and flirty, a bit angsty, there was action, betrayal, LUST, and finally some love.

      We revisit the Phoenix Pack to find that they have added a few members- Taryn's friend Shaya, as well as Trent's former packmates Gabe and Jaime.

      Jaime wants Dante, who doesn't want to admit he wants her. So he stays as far away from her as his position as Beta will allow him to. So finally, Jaime admits defeat and decides to move on, reacquainting herself with old flame Shawn.

      Oh, HELL no, she didn't. Dante might not want her (or want to admit that he does) but no WAY is he going to let someone else have her, especially a human. He also comes to realize that supposedly Submissive wolf Jaime is hiding something. Something big. Something big bad, alpha, and very damaged. And he makes it his mission in life to find out what that is, and then he makes it his mission to fix the problem.

      I loved the way Jaime and Dante butted heads. I love that she's smartass enough to give it right back to him, never backing down. And the sex was off the chain hot, and no "woops! surprise!" menage scenes, they know they are IT for each other, even though Jaime likes to tweak at him from time to time.

      Now, I am anxiously awaiting the next book, to get Nick and Shaya's story. I know that lots of readers are ready to see Nick suffer for his treatment of Shaya (or lack thereof), but I kinda see where he's coming from. He knows that life for a submissive wolf as the mate of an alpha male will NOT be easy, and I think, when we get to his story, we will see that he was trying to protect Shaya from that, NOT that he doesn't think she's good enough. Maybe I'm wrong, but I hope I'm right, and I hope readers really give him a chance to explain his side of things. So far we've only seen how Shaya feels.

      Another great book in the series. Not as good as book one, but still a good story. Can't wait for book three.

      Full review to come.

      Read from May 14 to 16, 2013Listened to for Review (Brilliance Audio)Overall Rating: 3.50Story Rating: 3.00Character Rating: 4.00Audio Rating: 3.50 (not part of the overall rating)First Thought when Finished: These are some spectacularly smexy shifters! I haven't blushed this much in a while.Story Thoughts: I will admit I wasn't prepared for the amount of smexy time that was in Wicked Cravings (I did not read the first book but I will) so that impacted me getting into the story. I also thought that the main relationship at times went over the line with permission levels not being clear. I wasn't happy with those scenes at all. I admit I have to be warned when reading super smexy with these tones. I have to set my mind that smex will happen at even the most inappropriate times and that my levels of comfortable will be challenged. I did enjoy the story outside of that though and thought these group of shifters were fantastically complicated. I know I will be counting down to the next in series as I think it will be one that will sweep me. So bring it on Nick and Shayla.Character Thoughts: Not going to lie, the Shifters of The Phoenix Pack are fantastic. The characters are what kept me interested in the story even when I felt the tones of some scenes were over the line. Each of them were complicated, smart, sexy, and very dynamic. There are some great friendships too. Both genders had strong bonds to their packmates and friends. Who isn't a sucker for stories that highlight and promote strong bonds outside of romance? The humor was down right fun! Most of the characters were very sassy and the shout outs to pop culture made me grin. Attitude with my romance is always made of win. The women are just as strong as the men and can hold their own even when they aren't dominate (Shayla is a great example). HUGE selling point for me. All in all, I really recommend this series based on the characters alone!Audio Thoughts: Narrated by Jill Redfield/Running Time 12 hours 43 minutesJill did a great job with the women voices in Wicked Cravings. She was also excellent with emotions, pacing, and timing. I wasn't sold on her male voices but I would listen to another audiobook if she narrated it. Specifically the ones with strong female characters.Final Thoughts: I think Wicked Cravings would work for people who love super smexy shifter stories with a high amount of "romantic times"

      Wicked Cravings is the second book in the Phoenix Pack series focusing on Dante and Jaime. I requested this book, not realizing that it was the second in the series. Luckily, I was still able to keep up with the story line and understand that world that I entered into. I am definitely going to go back and read the first book now since I have had a taste of this world and really enjoyed it.I am a huge fan of paranormal romance, and when the book focuses on shifters I am especially excited. They are always so possessive of the ones the fall for and I love watching those animalistic qualities come out. Wicked Cravings was no exception to this. Dante, our male lead, is not interested in finding a mate. He simply wants to focus on his job, but once he runs into Jamie he finds his resistance to find a mate waning. He rebuffs her advances towards him and when she gets the hint and moves on he should be happy right? Wrong! Now that she is taking her flirtations elsewhere, he cannot seem to get her out of his mind. Isn’t that always how it ends up being? Guys want what they can’t have? Anyway, that just made the situation all the more fun to read about, because Dante’s inner wolf was screaming at him to take Jamie as his mate.Jamie on the other hand, has been crushing on Dante since she was young. However, once he makes it clear that he wants nothing to do with her; she puts her feelings aside and tries to move on. My heart went out to her when Dante rejected her, but I was glad to see her bounce back and try to get on with her life. However, she is also hiding some secrets of her own that might keep Dante away even if he did choose to be with her. I enjoyed the tension that built between Dante and Jamie, but I also really enjoyed all the humor laced throughout the novel. Suzanne writes some steamy scenes, but also had me laughing out loud numerous times. I really enjoyed her writing style as I learned more about the Phoenix Pack. While I did come into this series a book behind, I still really enjoyed it and look forward to more from Suzanne in the future. I would recommend this book to anyone looking for a fun paranormal romance novel with some great characters, face paced plot and some scorching hot romance. I will definitely be picking up the next book in this series.
