Running time: 2hrs 27 mins.

Audio review:
To be honest I probably wasn't the best person to review this.I hadn't listened to an entire Audio before,having only tried samples with no success....so I had no idea what to expect or compare it to.
It took me a few chapters to really get on board with it but the first thing that struck me was a lot of detail that I'm sure I didn't appreciate reading the book.The second thing that stood out was that listening to it took so much longer than reading it and I'm not sure if that's a good or bad thing to be honest.
In my opinion the narrator did an excellent job.Every single voice was distinctive,at no point did I question which character it was.I was more than a bit worried about listening to sex scenes for some reason but I shouldn't have worried-they were perfectly narrated with a lot of feeling.
So my first Audio was definitely a success.Would I be in a hurry to read more? I'm still not sure ...
My rating is 4 Stars.
Original review:
I get quite giddy when I see Kasia Bacon has written another story in her truly engaging Order Universe.She's fast becoming my favourite Author in the fantasy genre.She has created some amazing couples who I absolutely always fall in love with.
From the beautiful scene settings,the addictive plots,the loveable characters,these short stories never fail to deliver.
Barbarian fighter Yuuzuki is resigned to his fate-he has one final match which he knows will only end one way.Time and circumstances are against him.His one wish is the safety of his lover,healer Haiatto.
Together for years,their love for each other might not have been vocalized yet but they both know it exsists and Haiatto is determined to do whatever he can to save his lover-but what will the price be?
I adored this story,I loved these two men but damn I wanted more.
Prepare to be transported into the mystical,fascinating world Kasia Bacon has created once more in Don't Fight the Spark-you'll fall in love all over again....

“You’re everything I could’ve dreamed of. Everything I’ve ever needed. Perfect. You’re perfect. I want you to remember this. I just wish so damn much that I could love you for a little bit longer.”
Together for years,their love for each other might not have been vocalized yet but they both know it exsists and Haiatto is determined to do whatever he can to save his lover-but what will the price be?
Tell me, would you follow me if I found a way out?” His answer came in a heartbeat. “I would,” he said. “Anywhere.”
I adored this story,I loved these two men but damn I wanted more.

I tried. With audios that are described as the best.
Nope. I get distracted by pretty much anything and can’t concentrate on it enough. And as you say it takes so much longer than reading! Super review, Judith! 😁😘

Thanks darling. I'm still not converted(nothing to do with this book), I just don't think it's my thing and for some reason I could only settle to listen to it at night in bed?!

Yes, I can see how that would help. Silence and darkness (at least outside) 😊😄 I admit I have given up on it by now.
I can imagine.People seem to love them or hate them( don't think they're really my thing ) x
