Publisher's summary

The picturesque town of Haven may offer sanctuary for all, but the irony is getting harder to miss: monsters are vanishing.

Aline knows better than to meddle. The runaway Princess of Faere learned the hard way what happens when others see what her magic can do.

No, it's far better to focus on her own problems, like running The Monster's Den and staying off the paranormal council's radar.

Tragedy strikes Haven as things are finally starting to come together for the lonely fae, and Aline has no choice but to intervene.

The blows keep coming when the paranormal council initiates a full-scale inquiry into why monsters vanish from Haven.

It seems her house of cards is about to tumble.

Can she trust the ghosts of her past and the unhinged monsters desperate to be a part of her future to help keep her safe?

Will they even want to when they see what she's capable of?

This book is set in the A Monstrous World Series. It's an interconnected standalone that features a new female main character and was designed so that you can jump in here if you prefer. No cliffhangers!

Sooo Good

Jillian West is brilliant and these narrators just elevate an already amazing story. They really bring the characters to another level and bring them to life. This is such a great tale of fated mates, second chances, adversity, and true love. Another incredible paranormal romance from Jillian West and Stellar performance from these narrators!

Another hit from Jillian West!

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
🌶️🌶️🌶️🌶️

“You have my solemn vow that I will murd3r anyone who tries to keep me from you from here on out.”

Another great book by Jillian West! I loved this sweet and spicy romance. I am always a fan of unique peens and appendages - The FMC, Ali’s, variety of monster mates come with tentacles, shadows, and “will it fit” size. Plus, oviposition goodness.

There is very minimal angst. She has four mates (fated and chosen) who are all in and will burn the world down to keep her safe. Her orc/giant mate even goes so far as becoming a serial killer to protect her identity. That’s love!

This book is fast-burn and incredibly spicy. Two of Ali’s mates are virgins, but that doesn’t stop them from deviant thoughts. Ali is mated in multiple forms with MF and group partner combinations (DVP is on order)!

The extended epilogues are the icing on the cake. The Monster’s Wife ends in the sweetest HEA for all.

It is a standalone, but I recommend reading The Monster’s Den first for the best reading experience. There are crossover characters and plotlines.

Genre: Paranormal Monster Romance
Tropes/Features: friends to lovers, secret husbands, fated (soul) mates, chosen mates, mixed species pack – nightmare, orc/giant, two fae (one shifts to Kraken), fae FMC in hiding, virgin MMCs, tentacles, shadows, size difference, oviposition, sex club, breeding kink, touch her and die vibes, DVP and group scenes
POV: Multiple 1st Person POV
Narrator(s): Melissa Moran & Michael Gallagher
Narration Style: Duet-style Narration
Relationship Type: Why choose MFMMM, fast burn, ALL the spice (fancy peens ahead)
Book Type/Ending: Standalone with HEA (Reading The Monster’s Den beforehand isn’t required but I recommend it for best experience)
TW/CW: Available in the Author’s Note

Aline and her guys

I've never really tried out a shifter romance like this and I'm loving it. I've read all of Jillian West's omegaverse romance books. So these were next on my list. And she's never let me down in the past! 🥰 I devoured the first audiobook of the series and quickly moved on to the second. Especially when I found out it was going to be Aline's book! I loved her character in the first book. These can definitely be read as standalones, but it's been so much fun to follow the series. However, Jillian does a fantastic job of filling you in on what you might have missed.

I LOVED Aline and her guys! Everyone of them brought something special to the pack! I enjoyed getting to know them so much! Getting to understand each species(?) has been so much fun!

I also enjoyed seeing glimpses of Emerson and her guys!

AUDIOBOOK REVIEW
Duet Narration
Narrated by Melissa Moran and Michael Gallagher

Again! I'm blown away! Absolutely devouring these audiobooks! Melissa has done such an amazing job bringing each of these ladies to life. And Michael, just wow, I can't get enough of his accents. His ability to switch from one accent to another is mind blowing. He's so incredibly talents.

Automatic 5 star

It's no surprise that this audio is awesome, given the book is a fantastic. I love everything Jillian, but Monsters Den are so much fun and I'm so glad they're on audio so I can listen and get some chores done now, lol. I'm happy that the same narrators were used. They both add that extra personality to the characters and really get into the story, another level of funsies. Thanks for gifting not only an amazing story but bringing it to life for those of us who love to listen. ❤️

Absolutely fantastic

I love visiting the Monster's realm. I already read this fantastic story, but having these two narrators bringing it to life was amazing again! The two of them are exceptionally narrators but combined they are unbelievably fantastic!!
Loved it, loved having A's. story, and again with amazing epilogues due to Jillian West's enormous talent for writing epilogues!

What A Ride

This is one of my favorite Jillian West books, and now even more so after hearing it brought to life. Being able to listen to Ali & her guys work through new love & second chances was just perfection. Melissa gave Ali’s character the personality & sweetness that I was expecting, and it was done so well. Michael did an amazing job bringing all the guys to life with separate distinct vibes for each of their characters. As always, getting to hear the story done in duet narration just made it all the more real & engaging. Definitely worth a listen, or two, or three, or…we’ll, you get the idea 😉👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻❤️

Better in audio!

I remember totally binge reading this when the book came out, and I totally loved it, but audio, again, brings it to life even more! Ali’s story had some hard moments with her past, but I love all the good that comes her way! Her harem is amazing and so devoted to her 💜
