Story
I'm one scrappy wizard. As someone with barely a flicker of magic, I've spent my life being mocked and surviving fights with bullies. But when my parents die in an accident, and I find myself responsible for our whole wizard house and family, I know my usual tactics aren't going to cut it. The situation veers from bad to catastrophic when my backstabbing cousin stages a coup and takes my family hostage. I barely manage to flee, but the only supernatural willing to help me is Killian Drake - the most feared vampire in the region.

Fresh off a breakup and an eviction, I started my day like any other: a book in one hand, a coffee in the other, and faking that can-do attitude inspirational memes are made of. I was ready to take on the world — and I did. Unfortunately, it was the Underworld. One freak accident later, I’m standing face-to-face with the sexy-as-sin and dangerously powerful Prince of the Underworld. He has a few burning questions for me — like how a mere human unlocked the door to the Underworld’s prison and released its prisoners.

Several questions have always plagued the minds of those who enter these mythical places of power: why are there so many monsters? Where do the amazing weaponry and heavy gold coins come from? Why does the very air fill with life-giving energies? Cal has all of the answers to these age-old questions, for a very simple reason. He is a Dungeon Heart.

Publisher's Summary
In a land where humans and elves find it difficult to communicate, Tari - an elf - is bound to Captain Arion - a human military officer - in a ceremony designed to promote friendship between the two races. When the ceremony is over, the pair discover that the impossible has happened: They can understand each other in spite of the language barrier.
Thrown into a storm of politics, Tari and Arion are put in danger by those who want humans and elves to remain separate.
To make matters worse, Tari realizes that she has fallen in love with Arion, who has the emotional capabilities of a rock. As both societies dictate that an elf and a human can never be together, Tari must conceal her feelings. Unfortunately, the taciturn Arion is watchful and attentive to Tari's well-being, constantly pushing her to her limits with his loyalty, friendship, and dreadfully informal habit of touching her.
If Tari and Arion survive, their tumultuous relationship will either strengthen their countries' alliance or cripple the human courts of nobility. The deciding factor will be Arion and his indecipherable feelings for Tari.

Interesting, sweet fantasy romance
I love this author! I especially like how the author balances interesting, independent heroines with equally interesting heros! It is such a relief to find great books that I enjoy, that I wouldn't be embarrassed for my daughter to read as well. I am so excited to see her books finally coming in audio format. This is an excellent introduction to K M Shea's work.

Please do not judge the book by the narrator!
I have read KM Shea's book before and I loved it but I was very disappointed in the narration of it. It was so slow that the book was somewhat boring to listen to. I want to be fair, I am sure that the lady that narrated the book is a good narrator but she performed this one wrong. KM Shea writes a great deal of sarcasm and humor into her books but it were entirely lost with the slow pace and sing-songy performance. I will say that it got ever so slightly better in pace nearer to the end but the humor and the real personality of the characters still remained lost in translation. Please read the book to get a true idea of what the story is like. It is much better than the audio version.

Enjoyable stoy. I loved the Elves' positions and careers. How their society worked was really interesting. The conflict/climax was a bit understated and that made it so that I was surprised when the story was finished. It seemed to me that I was waiting for the climax...and then the story was finished. It was almost like I missed it. That describes the understated comment. All in all a pleasant story.

Story is adequate but narrator is annoying.
I liked the story for the most part. It was a bit predictable and simple, but it’s one of those stories you find comfortable because of the simplicity— the type you re-read to when you have a mild headache and you’re drinking apple and cinnamon tea and the familiarity of the predictable story is soothing.
The narrator is terrible. Other reviewers comment on her sing-song tone. It’s not just that. It’s the way every SINGLE sentence is read in the same pattern of high-pitched at the beginning, and then the pitch gradually drops until the end of the sentence before the next sentence begins high again. And there is no deviation. It is incredibly jarring.
It ends
up sound
ing a lot
like this
for some
reason.
I can’t stand it. The high pitch is worse than the low, and because the author begins so many of the sentences with the main character Tari’s name (as the book is written mostly in Tari’s perspective but in the 3rd person point of view), Tari becomes one of my least favorite words when spoken by the narrator. That dislike began to leak into my opinion of the character herself. It was very off-putting.
I recommend this book, but don’t listen to it as an audiobook. It’s not worth it.

I already loved this story as a book and have read it many times. I really enjoyed the audio book as well. I liked the narrator, some reviews complained about her voice being a bit sing-song, but I thought it was fitting for the main character who is an elf. Her male voice is also good. I thought it was great.

loved this author and was read well. the reader made the voices clearly diffrent and the author created a whole new world where we had not just pretty elves and strong men but cultural diffrence, emotional strength/control, family troubles and controversy. but most of all misunderstandings about love. it took a fantasy world and made it almost real.
