Akira

An MM Paranormal Romance

By: Kota Quinn

Narrated by: Oliver Williams

Akira is a rare Kitsune Fae who is being hunted for his fur. When he takes refuge at the Black Cat Circus, the last thing he expects to find is a tempting human who makes him feel alive.

Akira has always planned on returning to Faerie, but how can he when there is a magical pull telling him that this is his home? For the first time, Akira is experiencing what it feels like to have a family, feel safe, and fall in love.

For almost a decade, River has been searching for the fae who took his brother. But now that he knows the truth behind Indy's disappearance, River is at a loss for what to do next.

Eager for a fresh start, River joins the magical circus, despite his skeptical feelings about paranormal creatures. When he helps the charming Kitsune find his place in the circus, River discovers there's more to Akira than his flirtatious smiles. There's intense power and passion that River can't help but be drawn to.

Can love be enough to keep two lost souls together, or will each of their pasts pull them apart?

Akira is a grumpy/sunshine, fated mates, paranormal MM romance. It features light tail play and light sensation play. The Black Cat Circus: Pearl of Fate is a multi-author series and season two of the Black Cat Circus World that features found family and a magical cast of characters. Each audiobook can be listened to as a standalone but is better enjoyed as a series.

REALLY GOOD!

I LOVED THE BOOK AND NOW LOVE THE AUDIOBOOK!

Akira and River are so wonderful together with a terrific connection I liked. I adored being able to hear them and relive their story another way. Definitely recommend!

Kitsune

Akira and River story was entertaining with some interesting characters, a new happy couple at the end of the journey, and old characters that give their fifty cents.
It was interesting to see this grumpy – sunshine adventure, how they bonded and get over all their obstacles, as well as the way the mate lore was presented.
I liked the narrator’s cadence and voices, how he expressed emotions and key points in the story.

Akira

I thoroughly enjoyed listening to this book. I've read a couple of the previous books in this series, and each one is better. I love to see River come out of his shell and discover what he really likes. Akira is sweet, flirty, and amazing.

Little fox 🦊

At first, it felt a bit strange listening to this audiobook because it had a different narrator than the previous books, so it took me a little while to get used to the different voice performance. But once I adjusted, I really enjoyed it. The narrator has a deep, pleasant voice that was easy to listen to.
The story itself is low angst. It focuses on Akira (a kitsune, a nine tailed fox) and River growing closer as they discover that the bond between them is deeper and older than they originally thought. I enjoyed listening to another book in the Black Cat Circus series.

Love this performance!

Performance: This audiobook is narrated by Oliver Williams. The way he speaks as Akira is like an upper crust noble in a historical romance. When he flips to River, he becomes so youthful and fresh. This is the joy of an audiobook for me. The differences in each character’s vocals.

Story: For Akira, this book is good, so very good. For me there are so many reasons to love this couple. Akira and River have a push and pull of attraction between them. It is so fun to watch and yes I said watch. I feel like I can them in mind's eye. I love how River gets strong enough to handle his uncle. I adore how Akira feels safe enough to show his inner fox to River. I felt like I highlighted so many passages. The teasing, the smirking, the dressing room, so many little moments that turned a barely friends pair into a loving couple. What I love most about about Akira and River is how they built a family at the Black Cat Circus when they both struggled to fit in at first. Yes, River had Indy/Peanut and Akira had Rhea, but on their own they didn't quite fit. The friendship that grew between them is what opened their eyes to what could be.
