About this listen

It's said that women and men are from two different planets when it comes to communication, but how can they overcome the obstacles of prehistoric times when one of them simply doesn't have the ability to comprehend language?

Ehd's a caveman living on his own in a harsh wilderness. He's strong and intelligent but completely alone. When he finds a beautiful, young woman in his pit trap, it's obvious to him that she is meant to be his mate. He doesn't know where she came from; she's wearing some pretty odd clothing, and she makes a lot of noises with her mouth that give him a headache. Still, he's determined to fulfill his purpose in life - provide for her, protect her, and put a baby in her.

Elizabeth doesn't know where she is or exactly how she got there. She's confused and distressed by her predicament, and there's a caveman hauling her back to his cave home. She's not at all interested in Ehd's primitive advances, and she just can't seem to get him to listen. No matter what she tries, getting her point across to this primitive but beautiful man is a constant - and often hilarious - struggle.

With only each other for company, they must rely on one another to fight the dangers of the wild and prepare for the winter months. As they struggle to coexist, theirs becomes a love story that transcends language and time.

Contains mature themes.

really enjoyed it.

I wish that we also heard from Beh and think a follow up from her POV would be great.

story good but.....

good narrator and even though i haven't finished I am enjoying the view into daily life of cave man, i hope it explains how 'Beh' arrived there.

what I hate is the detailed sex. almost porno! 3 chapters I skipped over because they were dedicated to the characters having sex.

also very very repetitive in 'Ehd's thoughts...i get he was a caveman so not too intelligent but if the character said 'she is my mate and I will care and protect her' once it was repeated many many times.

Transcendence...

Transcendence..... a journey into another time and what a journey it was. I’m not too sure how to best describe Ehd & Beh’s story, and I don’t want to give anything away. Its told from Ehd’s point of view and as he is a Neanderthal his reaction and reasoning to the sudden appearance of Beh is very interesting. He takes Beh as his mate and what’s to mate with her all the time so he can put a baby in her. He finds her odd and doesn’t understand her at all yet he wants her and wants her bad. Their story is one filled with humour (i had a few, smiling like a Cheshire Cat moments), wonder, love and heartache. I absolutely enjoyed this story from Shay Savage and I hope that one day I wake to find Transcendence in Behs point of view. The epilogue gives you an insight but the entire story from Beh would be fantastic.

Fabulous listen

I read Transcendence a few years ago and it is a story that has stayed with me always .. something about it is so unique and it really tugs at your heartstrings. I was so happy to see it was available on Audible and it didn’t disappoint. Chris Chambers did a fabulous job narrating this wonderful story. Loved it!

Unique time travel romance

I'm a sucker for unusual situations and characters thrown together that would normally stay worlds apart. So this story was right up my alley. It is written quite realistically from the hero's point of view. [I missed the heroin's perspective to a lot of chapters though, and would like to see an edition from her point of view] - hence the 4 stars for 'story'. The characters are strong and complement each other well. Although I'd have thought a 21st century woman could have improved cave-life more then the heroin in the story did. [I'd invented a warm shower for a start] - hence the 4 stars. I think the main focus through the story is on cave-man Ed and his understanding of the complexity of his mate. It was a very enjoyable read with great narration.

This was quite the ride. I have never read such a wonderful and uniquely written and narrated book. I ‘luffed’ this book.
