I just wish we'd gotten a followup to the ending of book 1 so we could see if Ethan and Miguel finally bypassed pack ignorance with the fabulous Zev leading as Alpha. Oh, well, the focus was the relationship, and that certainly wasn't lacking any. The setting in this book felt like small-town America circa 1960 maybe, but all we have to go on is the mention of a diner and land parcels, not a whole lot of detail. Indeed, the time and place were only lightly sketched. I love me some historical vampire stories, but what we got here was vague. Based on my calculations, Miguel was born in the 16th century. My only quibble is that I wanted more vampire folklore and more about Miguel's previous life centuries. Ethan narrates this book in the first-person, and I loved his small-town, farm-boy persona. This book begins approximately 50 years BEFORE the final scene in book 1.Įthan and Miguel are an awesome couple. I was immediately drawn to the couple and wondered how they came to be.

You'll remember that Ethan and Miguel were the small brown wolf and vampire who helped save Jonah's dad from a group of rabid shifters toward the end of that story. Plus, the romance factor was through the roof: knotting, mating, and blood bonding (blood, you all, so much blood). Miguel and Ethan are constantly on each other, licking, sucking, BITING. This book was so damn smexy, I may have needed a cold shower, or three. At just under two hours listening time, this audiobook is a perfect story for a long commute, running errands, or needing a sweet break from it all.Vampire + wolf shifter = truly hawt, delicious fun Told from Clint Rivera's POV, the story takes place over a weekend that starts off monumentally bad, but ends up happily ever after. Which meant he had to understand that the things he was saying, the intensity with which he was looking at Clint, and the tenderness in his touch weren’t standard fare for a hook-up. Hawk Black probably had close to ten years on him, so he had to know the score too. “Not the same way I want you, but it’s a start.” At twenty-eight years old, Clint wasn’t a stranger to the concept of going home with a man to screw. “You want me.” Hawk leaned down and brushed his lips across Clint’s jaw. He was at Hawk’s house for one reason and they both knew what it was. “Why is that?” “You know why,” Clint said, seeing no point in playing games. “Seems like your people reading skills just short out when it comes to me.” Hawk tipped Clint’s face up. This is a short (super quick), fun, sexy, humorous novella with what seems like insta-love to the nth degree.but it's a hell of a lot deeper than that. Ezekiel absolutely brings out the passion, humor, and romance in this. I love his character voices (with extra kudos on bringing Hawk's 'whiskey smooth and gravel rough' voice to life) and his easy way of narrating so the story just flows seemingly effortlessly into your ears.
