About This Audiobook

Sarah Pringle isn’t your average damsel—she’s a schoolteacher with a dark secret and a half-brother who’d rather see her locked up than free. Rebecca Zanetti’s *Tempted* flips the paranormal romance script by blending relentless action with a slow-burn, emotionally charged romance that never feels forced. The world-building is sharp: Zanetti doesn’t waste time explaining how magic works; instead, she drops you into a world where shape-shifters, ancient curses, and betrayal simmer beneath the surface of a cozy small town. The stakes feel personal, the danger is visceral, and the chemistry between Sarah and her enigmatic protector crackles with tension that lingers long after the audiobook ends.

What sets this apart from the usual supernatural romance crowd is Zanetti’s knack for balancing fight scenes with intimate character moments. The pacing is brisk—no meandering subplots—just Sarah sprinting from one life-or-death scenario to the next while learning to trust again. The narration by Karen White elevates every exchange, her voice shifting seamlessly from Sarah’s vulnerability to the growls of the alpha male who becomes her unexpected ally. It’s a performance that sells the stakes, making the fantasy feel grounded even when the plot veers into the wildly improbable. If you crave romance with teeth and world-building that rewards attention to detail, this audiobook delivers in spades.

Editor's Review ★★★★☆

AudioBook Atlas

I went into *Tempted* skeptical—another werewolf romance with a ‘chosen one’ vibe? But Karen White’s narration sold me on Sarah’s plight from the first chapter. Her voice drips with exhausted sarcasm when Sarah’s half-brother taunts her, then drops into a husky growl when the alpha protector growls at threats, grounding the supernatural elements in something that feels real. The fight scenes are brutal but not gratuitous, and White’s delivery makes the physicality hit hard without overdoing the drama. My one complaint? The love interest’s backstory is doled out in frustratingly vague hints early on, which made his motivations feel thin for the first act. That said, once the truth unravels, it’s worth the wait—his redemption arc is one of the more compelling parts of the story. The production quality is top-tier, with subtle sound effects that heighten tension (I’ll never forget the way White’s voice warps during a supernatural confrontation). The pacing is tight—Zanetti doesn’t let the plot sag, which keeps even the quieter character moments feeling urgent. If you’re tired of romance tropes that drag, this one moves like a thriller. The only reason this isn’t a full five stars? The ending wraps up a little too neatly for my taste, like Zanetti rushed to tie up loose ends. Still, as an escape into a world where love and danger are equally tangible, *Tempted* is a standout.
