The Bunny Blues by Sedona Ashe

My rating: 4 of 5 stars

I’m a bunny on the run.

Forced to bond with a fluffle of rabbit shifters who care only for my ability to provide offspring, I’ve spent the last several months tucked away in a burrow. My matched wouldn’t disrespect our elders by publicly rejecting me, but privately, they made their lack of feelings clear by refusing to bond with me. The only time they remembered we were paired, was when I went into heat and became fertile.

After being betrayed and hurt yet again by the men who were supposed to be my matched, I ran from the burrows. I didnt think there was anyone who would be willing to help me until I watched a viral video of a raven-haired bunny who’d been claimed by the Alpha of the most powerful pack of wolf shifters on earth. Monroe had faced down the elders of her burrow and offered sanctuary to any bunny who needed it among her wolf pack.

Gathering my courage, I decided to travel across the country and take her up on the offer. Making the journey to Monroe’s pack isnt the hard part. No, the far more difficult challenge is trying to convince three very persistent wolf shifters that it is impossible for me to be their mate no matter how much I wished things were different.

But what if the elders are wrong? 
What if the rejection I’d suffered from the butthole rabbit shifters means the bond can be broken? 
The female in this book does experience bullying and is cheated on by the rabbit shifter males. She is not bullied by her wolf mates. Her wolves are ready to destroy anything that threatens their bunny.

The heroine: Ellora – she was a rabbit shifter whose parents and community elders had matched her to four male rabbits that she didn’t want to be mated to. She had no choice but to go through with it, even though her mates would not fully bond with her because they wanted to have their cake and eat it too. They treated her with indifference and told her outright that if she couldn’t produce heirs, they would turn her in for a better rabbit. They basically just used her for sex and for arm candy. She was determined to make them fall for her, but it wasn’t working for her.

The story: After Ellora’s mates embarrass and humiliate her by bringing another woman home, she finally figures out that she will never be loved by her mates. She is heartbroken and she runs away. Ellora sees the viral video from Monroe, another rabbit shifter who went against the rabbit shifter community and mated three wolf shifters in a love match. Monroe stated to all that if any rabbit shifter was in a dangerous or unpleasant situation, that she could come to Monroe for sanctuary with the wolf pack.

The Heroes: Quinn, Coda, Macarius – three brothers, wolf shifters in the large pack that one of Monroe’s mates is the alpha for. Quinn and Coda are easygoing and Macarius is known as a broody, grumpy wolf who likes his own space and is not fond of others visiting or staying at their house. When Macarius is away, Quinn and Coda are asked to protect Ellora in case her mates or her family come for her. The two of them fall for Ellora pretty quickly and want to keep her.

When Macarius returns, he doesn’t want Ellora staying in their house and immediately tells his brothers to find someplace else for her to stay. I always like a grumpy Hero, and Macarius is pretty set in his ways. He is older than Quinn and Coda and basically raised them. I enjoyed the fact that Ellora thinks she can’t ever have mates that love her because even though her original mates didn’t bond with her, her rabbit did bond with them, so she believes she will soon die because bunnies that are mated die if they are separated from their mate for any length of time.

The audiobook was told in multiple points of view and narrated via dual narration by Vanessa Moyen and Troy Duran. Troy Duran is one of my favorite male narrators, with a deep sexy voice and he is great at using different voices for different characters. Vanessa Moyen has a soft, feminine voice which is very pleasant and youthful sounding. She is expressive and both her and Troy do a fantastic job.
