Listening Length: 7 hours 55 minutes Gabe Kingman has never been great with his emotions. His disastrous personal life is evidence enough of that. Returning to be a doctor in his small Colorado hometown was supposed to bring him closer to his family, not push them even further away. He’s been slowly working to repair the mistakes he’s made, but his efforts aren’t made any easier by the new existence of vampires in his world. Especially one pesky, annoyingly beautiful vampire in particular. Soren Iversen never meant to stay in Hyde Park this long. He hasn’t kept himself alive for centuries by letting himself be a sitting duck. But instead of moving on months ago, he’s been kicking his heels in the most boring town in the world, hoping for one stubborn, annoyingly compelling human to pay him even a bit of attention. When circumstances force the two of them together, Soren’s obsession and Gabe’s unwilling attraction are brought to a head. But Soren has been running for a reason, and the skeletons in his closet threaten to tear the couple apart before they can even begin. Soren is a heated fated-mates MM paranormal romance with an HEA and no cliff-hanger. It contains a stubborn, emotionally repressed ICU doctor and a bratty, slightly unhinged vampire not afraid to stalk a man to get what he wants. It also contains steamy scenes between two men and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. This book can be listened to as a stand-alone, but the series is best enjoyed in order.

0¿Estuvo bien? Ugh. Esperaba algo mejor siendo la historia de Soren y Gabriel… Soren fue lo único que me había realmente gustado del primer libro, así que tenía expectativas con su historia. Lo cual lamentablemente me resultó insatisfactorio.
Si bien el romance se sentía más creíble e intenso, construido en base a momentos de conexión emocional y no tan insta-love como el bendito primer libro, su tensión sexual no duró casi nada y fue hasta anticlimática. Tuvieron escenas de sexo más rápido de lo que me hubiera gustado para el supuesto conflicto que ellos habían tenido por más de un año.
Aun así fue lindo ver a ambos desarrollándose y enfrentándose a sus propios demonios y pasados sin perder su esencia. Temía por un momento que se convirtieran en la aburrida pareja que son Roman y Daniel. Sin embargo, no me gustó cómo se trató al personaje de Gabriel. Era como si la historia te estuviera forzando a creer que él había sido un idiota y una mala persona toda su vida cuando NO. Él solo estaba siendo humano. Trataron a su trauma como si hubiera sido insignificante y egoísta. Como si Daniel fuera el hermano bueno y él hermano malo. Hasta el mismo Soren y Daniel a veces directamente lo decían, y yo como…
0The couple and the development of the romance was much better than the first book.
Sadly, the worldbuild is starting to make no sense? Like, actually, there's no worldbuilding at all.
What do I mean? well, in this book actually nothing. Only by book 5 with Wolfgang the author mentions some attempt at a "society" of Vampires with the den they used to lived in, and that's it. Only one den? what about the others? every single vampire in the world is a nomad? how many are there? how do they fucking remain in hiding with fuckin morons like Johann around?
mysteries, so many mysteries. If anyone says compulsion I'm gonna scream. That shit is unreliable as fuck.
*probs many typos because I'm angry and with no time to rant but if I wait more days I won't write anything at all*
