About this book

Exiled from their birthright, the Isling brothers—Reidel, Saint, and Dallon—are the ultimate alpha males of the Vulfus world. Wealthy, powerful, and dangerously charming, these shifters live life on their own terms. However, their existence is governed by a brutal ancient curse: any romantic entanglement with a human is strictly forbidden, punishable by death to protect their species from exposure.

This dark romance pulls you into an underground world where passion is a dangerous game. As the brothers defy their father’s attempts to force them into arranged matches with other werewolves, they find themselves drawn to the very women they are forbidden to touch. The tension is palpable, weaving a slow-burn narrative that tests the limits of their loyalty and their primal instincts. With mutilated bodies turning up and the threat of discovery looming, the brothers must navigate a treacherous path between duty and desire.

For fans of gripping urban fantasy, this story is a must-read. It masterfully balances high-stakes suspense with the intense, complicated dynamics of three brothers fighting for their hearts. Will they break the curse and claim their human mates, or will the pressure of their legacy tear their bond apart? Prepare to be obsessed with the Kings.

Smokey Moment is very good at writing Paranormal books. The storyline draws you in and makes you feel like the characters are family and your like the author yourself drawing from your own experiences! Love this book and cant wait to read Part 2! )

Good Read

This was my first read by this author. It was a good read. Enjoyed the storyline and these characters. It started off kinda slow and I was somewhat confused, but it got it together. I like Saint and Elle together, they were meant for each other. I don't usually read these types of books, but it was alright. )

This, what wow

Thank you for this, it could have gone so much worst but this does bring clarity to the saying of love and war. What will come of the attempts how can we pick up and move on. This author has brought me out of my shell on shifter romance. The intensity of love allows your imagination to truly capture and see through the authors eyes what he or she was painting, thank you. This caused my anxiety levels to spike can’t wait for book two. I’m sure I’ll read it through and through )

My brother's keeper

July 23, 2019

This is my first read from this author and I have to say that I really enjoyed it. I love shifter stories and it's rare to have black shifter males in a story. I will say that the author could have easily made this into a series and gave each brother their own story and I would have still enjoyed it. ) 2 people found this helpful
