About this listen

He's a monster with sharp teeth, but I'm the snake he won't see coming....

Tormented. Lethal. Dead inside.There is only one reason Miguel became the bodyguard of a cartel boss’ son. So that one day, he can take revenge and put a bullet between his father’s eyes. To do that, he needs to keep his secrets close and play a double game with the outrageous Nero Moreno.

And there has never been a more infuriating demon of a man than Nero. From his filed teeth and green hair to the gaudy gold necklaces and a diamond-studded AK-47, he is narco excess personified, and everything Miguel despises. The fact that Nero hits on Miguel every chance he gets is just another burden, because Miguel decided long ago that there is no room for love in his black heart.

Slutty. Deadly. Lives to spite the world. No one refuses Nero Moreno. When he sets his sights on a man, sooner or later, his mark surrenders. With the endless buffet of flesh available to him, he shouldn’t care about rejection, but every time his insanely hot bodyguard gives him the cold shoulder, Nero is more set on seduction. He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone, or does it hold a soul gentler than Miguel would like to admit? Nero will not rest until he finds out.

When their goals collide, blood follows bullets, and it turns out nothing is as it seems.

Gritty, dark, and intense, Love Among Reptiles is a dark enemies-to-lovers M/M romance standalone novel set in the world of cartels. Prepare for brutality, heated arguments, slow burn pining, and scorching hot, emotional, explicit scenes.

POSSIBLE SPOILERS: WARNING: This story contains scenes of violence, offensive language, and morally ambiguous characters, as well as sensitive topics of homophobia, suicide, child abuse, and SA.

Great Story & Narration🎧Wild, Twisted & Intense!

Love Among Reptiles is a dark and twisted story, one that drew me in like no other, grabbing my attention and holding it hostage throughout the entire book. K.A. Merikan never ceases to amaze me with their writing style and the original and interesting stories they create, stories that may take some out of their comfort zone. This book is Miguel and Nero’s story, Miguel is out for vengeance and Nero is his ticket to getting it. Nero is the son of the cartel boss who destroyed Miguel’s family and Miguel became Nero’s bodyguard, hoping it will get him close enough to kill his father. Nero is a wild man, from his looks to his behavior, he has no qualms about killing, who he screws or who screws him and he made it a habit to hit on his bodyguard without even knowing or caring if he is into him or even into men. Miguel tried very hard to not want Nero, but Nero's flirting and sexcapades were like foreplay for what was to come. The chemistry between them was explosive, and he could only deny it for so long. The complexity of these characters and the layers to the story is fantastic and there is never a dull moment in this book. It is a cleverly plotted story with plenty of drama, angst, action, twists and turns, thrilling suspense, heartfelt emotions, yeah, even cold-blooded reptiles and emotionally distanced people have a heart, and some steamy romance. K. A Merikan, thank you for another amazing story and wild ride. 

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Wyatt Baker did a great job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own distinct voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who, his accents and voice choices were amazing. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, captured all their emotions, projected them into his performance and had you feeling every single one. Baker is a versatile voice artist and an entertaining storyteller. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Dark, but I loved it

This one roped me in from the beginning. I knew it was going to be darker than I usually listen to but I ended up loving it. Nero is a self proclaimed slut. He loves being with men. Something his father doesn't approve of. He's also part of a very powerful gang. A gang Miguel has his eyes set on. Nero was Miguels way in. Nero's father had destroyed Miguel's family and now he was going to get his revenge. What he didn't expect was to develop feelings for Nero. And Nero felt the same about Miguel. This book definitely is about revenge but it's also about finding love. I will admit there was a point in the story that I had to fast forward so you need to look at the triggers and warnings. I also didn't want to stop listening and would love for there to be a follow up book about them. Wyatt Baker did an awesome job with the narration. I'm going to check out more of M A Merikan audios since Wyatt does a lot of narrations for them. If you like dark with a side of love check this one out!!

A long time coming!

I waited so long for this! The ladies did so well writing Nero and Miguel’s stories! And then Wyatt with his narrations is just hands down the topper on the cake! This is a must read or write! Especially if you are into the guns and boys world!

Oh my heart

Listen, this story is extremely dark. I'm not going to sugar coat it, but y'all, this is at it's core about two men who found their fated mate. And believe it or not, they did deserve it.

Ok so in here we have Miguel, a man who was raised to kill the man his mother blamed for ruining her family.

We also have Nero, the son of the man Miguel wants to kill.

Miguel is from Mexico where his father ran a small cartel, Nero is a green headed out gay man with filed shark teeth who does whatever his father tells him to.

These two meet while Miguel is a bodyguard hoping to get close enough to the head honcho, but did not expect to fall for Nero as Miguel is closeted and has never had sex.

Nero has all the sex but has always wanted Miguel.

After the revenge finally happens, these two go on the run.

Bad things happen, done by them and to them. Some things were really hard to listen to. But the only one parachute scene was lovely, tbh.

During this whole time, they supported each other and learned how to love, as neither had ever had it. Miguel letting his fear allow him to finally touch Nero...oh my goodness.

Man that ending got to me. I loved it

Love on the run

Miguel infiltrates the cartel with revenge on his mind. Woking his way up, he eventually becomes Neros bodyguard.
Nero isn’t only about his green hair, he is an enigma that Miguel can’t seem to get off his mind.
When circumstances force them to go on the run together, that’s when the heat is on between them and those that are after them.

The authors take you on an adventure with these characters, we get themes of revenge, action, violence, bits of gore, passion and an epilogue that suited these characters perfectly.
Mr Baker does a fantastic job in bringing these characters to life and keeping you engaged throughout this gritty tale.

Dark Romance With Twists and Turns

I have always enjoyed this duo's dark romance books, and this one is no exception! I had no idea what was going to happen next, and there were definitely some unexpected, surprising events. There was a slow-burn between Miguel and Nero, but it was definitely worth it when the two of them got together. As usual, Wyatt Baker did a great job narrating. All of the characters had a distinct voice.

As billed, a dark romance!

This is an awesome listen! This storyline is dark and with some many curves it could be a mountain trail! The storyline is interesting and enthralling while waiting to see what happens next. These two are so lucky!!
