Resumen del Editor

Emerson Parker is exhausted.

She spends her days chasing around her high-energy, half-shifter toddler and her nights working full-time trying to make ends meet.

Oh, and add in the absolute cluster of a situation her ex dumped in her lap on his way out? Well, that's just icing on the cake.

With virtually no options left, Emerson heads for Haven, a sanctuary city for monsters and humans alike. Survival means taking a job at The Monster's Den—a club that caters to the inhuman residents of her new home.

But freedom comes with complications of its own: delusional monsters dead set on inserting themselves into her life and her bed.

With the North American Alpha hot on her heels and monsters standing in his way...

Will it be enough to keep Emerson and her daughter safe?

A lot better than I anticipated!

Really good story and I loved the narrators. I’m definitely going to see about starting the next book in the series

Excellent start to this paranormal series.

I was genuinely surprised by how much I loved this book. This was also a new to me author, and I really enjoyed her writing. This is the type of read that has low angst, a fun borderline light plot, intertwined and a lot of spice. Definite fluffy-rom com vibes with a paranormal twist. So if you’re in the mood for that kind of thing, definitely pick this up. I thoroughly enjoyed this story. This is an interconnected standalone series and I will definitely be picking up the rest of them eventually. This is a why-choose romance. Emerson and her men were great.

Ember, Emerson’s daughter has so much sass, I hope we eventually get 2nd generation stories.

Fantastic duet narration from both narrators involved. I believe the female narrator Melissa Moran, is new to me and she did an excellent job narrating this story. Michael Gallagher was great as usual.

Love the story, love the narrators!

I adored this book, and I adored it in audio! I’m absolutely looking forward to more of this world in the future! I love the world she built and I’m invested to see more from these characters! I hope we get the kids stories some day because I need more details 😂 100% looking forward to more of the club. This book did have some deeper plot than some of her other books, but the relationships between Emerson and her men are still AMAZING 🥹❤️❤️ her men take a beat to realize the bond they share, but they get all aboard that train pretty quick! I just love Jillian’s books ❤️❤️❤️

yes yes yes

I can honestly say that this was a very good book I can't wait for the next one to come out!

What’s not to love?

Found family, single mom romance, strong/surly/protective monsters, action, mystery, and beautiful spice. An amazing book. The narrators did a fantastic job making these characters shine even more. This is an amazing read and an even better one to listen to.

Unexpectedly good!

Well, that was unexpected. I picked this because it sounded like just what I wanted (and needed) at the time. I stayed up all night to finish this. I was supposed to just find some monster smut to listen to while in the throes of a terrible sinus headache. I didn't want to have to look at screens. Yeah, I got so invested that I ended up following along with the ebook and making notes.

This was so much better than expected. It isn't by any means the best thing I've ever read and did have flaws (like the constant references to her size-in general and specific parts of her anatomy). But this had monster smut with several monster MMCs, humor, banter, danger, and an adorable kid. I was here for it all!

Amazing!!

Okay so I already had read and loved this book so when I heard the Audiobook was coming I knew I needed it! It did not disappoint the narrators did an amazing job! Highly recommend I love this book it’s one of my favorites.

Yes!!

I loved this story. I really like how all the guys in this have their own personalities. I’m not sure which one is my favorite but the love they have for the MFC and her daughter melts my heart. I can’t wait for next audiobook from this author.

Good story but lacked a little balance

This book was about a single mother with a run away dad. She is in the worst case scenario and things just keep getting worse. Picking up a few new jobs she meets some lovely men whose personality’s are all different.
I like the characters pretty well but the female lead bugged me at times. Not all decisions were the smart choice and made you want to face palm.
The story all together was good but lacked balance with the sex scenes. Came off as a porno at times and not getting back to the story itsself. I sure do like a book with some sexy times. But seemed a little drowned in it at times. Like what happing with the bad guy cause the last 30 min was sex or talking about sex.
The story did outshine and I wished they spent more detail on it. This is a good book.
Readers did a wonderful job. I could tell the difference between characters and could feel the emotions coming through.

Her Heart Was Made For These Monsters

I LOVE Emerson’s story, and how much she’s willing to go through to protect Ember, her daughter. The lengths she’s wiling to go through lead her to becoming entangled with 4 monsters. Four monsters who quickly fall for her & for Ember, who is half wolf, and before she knows it, she’s all theirs. They soon find themselves having to fight enemies coming after Emerson & Ember, but the gladly accept the fight because none of them are willing to live a life without their mate. Melissa did a fabulous job, and Michael….whewwwww 🥵🔥 He was the perfect man to voice all the alpha, growly monsters in this story 🙌🏻 The whole thing was made even better by being done in duet narration 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 This was perfection, and I will DEFINITELY be listening to this again ❤️
