Story
Nathaniel and Chasan are no ordinary angels. Destiny chose them to be twin flames, fated mates. But Nathaniel has avoided Chasan for nearly a thousand years. When sent to Earth on a mission to live and work together, Nathaniel comes face-to-face with his destiny. Short-tempered, petulant, and grumpy, he hates the idea of being fated to anyone and has chosen an existence of isolation rather than spending time with the calm, kind, and serene Chasan. But now he has no choice.

Story
Imprisoned pickpocket Loth isn't sure why a bunch of idiots just broke into his cell claiming they’re here to rescue the lost prince of Aguillon, and he doesn’t really care. They’re looking for a redheaded prince, and he’s more than happy to play along if it means freedom. Then, his cranky cellmate Grub complicates things by claiming to be the prince as well. Now, they’re fleeing across the country, and Loth’s stuck sharing a horse and a bedroll with Grub while imitating royalty, eating eel porridge, and dodging swamp monsters and bandits.

Prince Roland comes home from the war to bury his father and sees his sister on the throne.

Getting into the vampire-only detective unit was the easy part. What’s going to be more difficult is dealing with my new partner - an ancient vampire who keeps threatening to eat me. The unit has never had a human in it. Marcus - or, as I like to call him: Fangy McFangface - would really prefer to keep it that way. He’s grumpy, short-tempered, and broody, but I have a way with words, and I know he’s starting to like me, even if he swears he’s not.

Take a man and strip him of his ability to feel compassion, empathy, remorse, or any of the emotions that make him human, but leave the ones that ignite rage and aggression and you have the perfect killing machine - now imagine two of them. Code names Ex and Meridian are synonymous for "guaranteed death" to international terrorists. Two broken men from the same crooked streets, recruited into an unsanctioned government program that few know about. Trained to operate most efficiently - lethally - together.

Being a hit man has its perks, but I never thought getting an accidental mooning by an attractive PI while he’s caught on a fence would be one of them. While it’s not exactly love at first sight, he’s captured my interest and won’t let go. Suddenly, I find myself caught in a game of cat and mouse, determined to attract the attention of Jackson, the PI who should be my enemy. He pretends like he’s not flattered by my flowers and the mentions of my totally-not-fictitious blow-up doll, Randy (or was it Dandy?), but I know better.

Story
What makes a romance novel a romance? Writing a well-structured romance isn't the same as writing any other genre - something the popular novel and screenwriting guides don't address. The romance arc is made up of its own story beats. Told in conversational (and often irreverent) prose, Romancing the Beat is like sitting down to coffee with romance editor and author Gwen Hayes while she explains story structure - the way she does with her clients, some of whom are regular inhabitants of the best-seller lists.

When the vampire stalking me sent me a letter, I was prepared for my new life with the man I love to get thrown into chaos. But as the days stretch on and nothing happens, I become determined not to allow that monster to rule my life and decide that Marcus and I will move on. We can’t always allow the past to haunt us. If that includes pestering Marcus and harassing my fellow detectives, they’d better learn to love it because I’m not going anywhere, even if they like to remind me I’m the only human working in a department filled with vampires.

A wonderful story and narration!

Publisher's Summary
Love’s compass is never wrong - even when it points in two different directions. After pleading his case to his wolf clan’s Elders, Levi is granted the right to bond with Ian, his male human lover, on one condition: They must spend one year apart. Then Levi must use only their spiritual connection to find Ian, or the deal is off. Tracking down his lover is easy, but Levi isn’t prepared for the changed man he finds. The agony of separation was too much for Ian. In a moment of weakness, he reached out - to a vampire. Now he’s a vampire himself, and Levi’s devastation - and rejection - is like a stake to his heart. But it’s nothing compared to the fury of the clan that wants Ian brought to justice for desecrating their most sacred ritual.
Afraid for Ian’s safety, Levi puts the pain aside and races to get to Ian first, but he faces unexpected competition: Darius, Ian’s maker. When they come together, all hell breaks loose, Ian is on the run…and the only way Levi and Darius can save the man they love is work together. If they don’t kill each other first.
Warning: Contains two vampires and a werewolf who really, really, really want to hate each other. Except when they want each other. And have violent, sweaty, angry sex with each other. But they still hate each other. Mostly.

Cautiously optimistic about this shifter menage
Levi and Ian fall in love, but Ian is human and Levi – a werewolf- is not allowed to mate with a human without special trials being met. In this case, once the pair has bonded, they must separate for a year and then Ian must find Levi on his own exactly one year later.
That year apart is pure torture for both men, but Ian doesn’t handle it well at all. Ian ends up finding Darius, a vampire, and becoming lovers with him. When Ian and Levi re-connect, Levi is devastated – both because he was betrayed by Ian’s cheating and that he’d cheat with the wolves most hated enemy- vampires.
So… Ian runs off and of all things Darius and Levi end up pairing up to find him.
During that trip the two end up … you guessed it….hooking up! So now, when they finally find Ian, nobody knows what will happen next and who will end up with whom…
On top of all that, Levi’s clan wants both Ian and Darius (and probably Levi by extension) dead – so the three of them must all re-connect, sort out their relationship and evade the clan.
**
WOW. On the one hand this is exactly the type of ménage I hate. I strongly dislike the idea of an extra man screwing up the relationship between two loving partners. Ian is VERY hard to like here because he really betrayed Levi. It’s sort of explained and justified, but …. It’s still hard to accept.
Then add in Levi and Darius getting together – that’s almost impossible to accept – but it somehow makes sense…. But again, it’s hard.
The story is so compelling and LA Witt’s writing is so engaging that despite my concerns I was driven to finish and move on to book two so… we’ll see how this crazy ménage works out.
4 of 5 stars
Audio
Jason Winters does a great job of trying to keep all these guys separate. They don’t have any really strong accents but I felt like I could mostly tell who was speaking at all times. He’s good with the emotion and easy to listen to.
3.5 of 5 stars
Overall I give this a cautious 4 of 5 stars for both the audio and the book and move on to book 2 with a bit of excitement and trepidation both.

Interesting story
I rarely write full reviews. The work of this author is usually very smooth and character development is solid. I this book, the three characters have distinct story lines, but parts of the story felt contrived. I still enjoyed the story and would not discourage anyone from purchasing and listening to this paranormal romance.
The narration is flat and several works are poorly pronounced. Animated narration would have moved this story from above average to very good.

Great Story...
I loved the story. the story itself pulls you in right away and keep you captured. I feel the only doesn't side to me was the Narration took some getting used to. Not my favorite narrator for This story. I am NOT saying the narrator is bad, just not what I imagine for this story. The voice seemed to flat for the action and reactions of the characters. Just my opinion... I know not everyone will feel this way. Once I got used to it I was too absorbed into the story to even notice. can't wait to start the next one.

Wish i loved it
This story actually has a lot of the aspects i really like in a story and i generally like this author. But somehow it really did not make it above the bar of "just okay". It could have been because i had to High expectations. I had a little Trouble with the characters and i dont Think you really Got to know Them. It kinds of feels like you jumped into the story in the middle and there should have been a story of the relationship between the shifter and the human and a subsequent story of the relationship between the human and the vampire. You do get details in flashbacks but its just not enough to make you really get the People involved. So no Real empaty which always make a Big difference for me. Otherwise the storyline is not bad. Narrator is fine.
