Izzy Monroe gets a job at a local shifter bar being reunited with the man she could never forget, Jericho. This story is one that I appreciated because they have a history, they are both wolves in the community, and know what and who they are. Which essentially puts them on equal footing.
I'm not one to gravitate towards a story about a musician - but Jericho was fun to read about. Obviously I had to read this since it's a part of the series, but I'm also glad that I did. I like Jericho. He's one of the Cole brothers in the Weston Pack, a former famous rock star, now a local musician that tries to keep things low-key. He's not perfect, but he also shows his strength as he's really changed his life around. He came out of an addictive situation that a lot musicians deal with. Drugs, women, etc. It was all bad for him. At the root of it, he's a good guy and he proves that over and over in this book.

I also liked Izzy's character. She also had a rocky past as she grew up in a home where she really didn't fit in . She eventually left home and went out on her own, thus becoming a lone wolf. After meeting and befriending Jericho, her life changed in a big way. The thing that I like best about Izzy is that she's an independent woman. She doesn't "need" Jericho. She wants him, but doesn't need him. I always like a strong leading lady and Izzy delivers. They are actually a couple that is very well balanced and matched.
Five Weeks has a strong and swiftly moving plot that kept me wanting more. There was love, and action, and danger, and so many other things that kept me engaged through out the entire audiobook. We got to see characters that were familiar to us in previous installments, which was a joy. I like when a series settles in and we not only get a featured couple, but all of the secondary stories continue on and the other characters are present and relevant in the current book. Dannika Dark does a great job keeping the entire Cole family in each book.
Add to that the amazingly strong narration. I'm really enjoying Dannika Dark's stories paired with and Nicole Poole's narration. Nicole Poole turned out another enjoyable performance in Five Weeks. Her ability to stay consistent with all of the characters over multiple books is noteworthy. Over several books sometimes the distinctness of the characters can get murky, but not in this case. She manages this large cast of characters seamlessly. Having now listened to the first 3 titles, I am hooked on the Seven Series! I'll be listening to the next installment very soon.
I enjoyed both the story-line and the narration in Five Weeks and I recommend this series on audiobook for paranormal romance fans. Have you read this series? If so, please tell me if you are enjoying it as much as I am! If you haven't read or listened to it yet, you should be adding this series to you TBR list.
