Rate this book
Mirabella is running for her life when two huge, muscular alien warriors come to guard her. Will she lose her heart when she is…Shared by the Monstrum?

Mirabella is a reluctant ruler—she never asked to be the Ruling Member of the Sacred Seven—the governing body of Opulex. But things get much worse when all the other members of the Sacred Seven are murdered by a ruthless serial killer. Miri goes into hiding but help is on the way in the form of two huge, muscular Monstrum warriors who vow to guard her with their lives.

Saxon and Lynx are Monstrum Shifters. They can appear humanoid or Shift partially or fully into huge beast-like predators. The two have a special bond they formed as boys which enables them to be more effective warriors. However, it also means they have to share a mate…in every way. A past mating with the woman they both loved ended in tragedy, which caused them to put their hearts on a shelf and vow never to love again.

Miri feels an instant attraction to both the big Monstrum and they want her too, but the past stands in the way of their happiness. In the meantime, they have sworn to protect her no matter what. But when Miri’s fate takes her to visit the Oracle at Delphi Prime, their relationship is turned on its head. For on this strange planet, every male is required to have a “sex pet.”
When Miri pretends to “belong” to the two Monstrum warriors, will she lose her heart?
You’ll have to read this hot ménage, MFM, “touch her and die,” bodyguard trope novel, Shared by the Monstrum to find out!

Audiobook had an off-putting female narrator!



The following ratings are out of 5:
Romance: 💙❤️💚🖤
Steam: 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Story/Plot: 📕📗📘📙
World building: 🌏🌍🌏🌎
Character development: 😊😄😘🥰
Narration: BAD
Narration Type: Dual Narration

The Heroes: Lynx and Saxon - they are bond brothers an Monstrum shifters and Kindred, they are from a parallel universe. They look like humanoid alien males but are able to shift into massive beasts. They are originally from two different clans, which is unusual for brotherhood bonds to form, they were also pretty young when they realized they were bond brothers, just ten and twelve years old. That very night they made a bond oath to each other. They now live in a whole different universe and bond brothers are able to project an aura of protection, a shield over a female held between them than almost nothing could penetrate. They were now wanted for protection of a Yonnite princess that has a killer after her.

The heroine: Mirabella - she is the ruling member of the secret seven and is on the run from a killer of females, intent on murdering her. She was caught by the killer before and barely escaped. The Yonnites were known to some across the universe as being spoiled brats, though she didn’t quite fit the mold of her people. Her upbringing made her have different morals and views, and she had always wanted to be a healer so she could help others.

The Story: Saxon and Lynx had once had a mate who died, and it basically ruined them. They still mourned the loss and if they didn’t have each other, they may have given up and died along with her. Though both Saxon and Lynx showed more interest in Mirabella than any female before. It wasn’t long before they realized that she didn’t like the way her world worked. Her father was from Earth, and she didn’t believe some of the ways of the matriarchal society she came from. They swore to her that they would protect and defend her as long as she was in danger.

This audiobook was told in multiple points of view via dual narration and was narrated by Elyse Anthony, Gregory Salinas and William Martin. William Martin has this way of speaking which is great for Alien romance, kind of stilted or something, it just works as far as I am concerned. I also like Gregory Salinas’s voice, and I love that this book has a different narrator for each of the main characters. Elyse Anthony has an extremely annoying voice that I absolutely hated. She also read with an attitude for Mirabella that I really disliked. I started and stopped this book more than a few times because of her voice.

This one was painful for me to listen to, though I don’t like to DNF audiobooks that I paid good money for. I was going to give a few stars (microphones) for narration just because I liked the two male narrators, but in the end, I couldn’t even do that. It just goes to show you how one annoying narrator can completely ruin an experience for a listener. What I don’t get is how the author and producers can listen to it and publish it with such an awful voice attached to it. I looked at the other reviews in Audible and they all say the same thing about the female narrator. I guess I should have looked before buying this one.

SO much deliciousness in this book..and their names are Lynx and Saxon.
I won't repeat what the blurb said for this book, but that first line HAD to be .
Once Lynx, Saxon and Miri meet, the fireworks start!
First in mistrust on her part but then the chemistry is off the charts for them sexually.
Miri is such a strong woman of strong values and convictions. A beautiful woman with a heart big enough for two strong, kindred Blood Brothers.
There are so many hot moments that, even from the beginning , have a strong element of affection and connection between the three.
What I love about Ms. Anderson's writing is she always tells a wonderful story with amazing characters , hot and lustful scenes, dangerous situations, and evil people who must be stopped...did I mention hot scenes for her characters?
Her HEA put the cherry on the top, for this sundae of deliciousness.
There is much going on, which I will not divulge. It must be experienced by the reader first hand.

I received an Advanced Readers Copy for my honest review.

Shared by the Monstrum explores themes of love, desire, and trust in the face of seemingly insurmountable differences between three wonderful characters.
It delves into how Monstrum Bond-Brothers, Lynx and Saxon, process their grief and struggle with their desire for Mirabella. As Mirabella finds herself drawn to both Lynx and Saxon, she must navigate the complex relationships between them and the dangers at different turns.
The visit to Delphi Prime was one of my favorite scenes in this book. Their women are quite “distinctive”😅.
Overall, if you're a fan of science fiction romance and looking for an intriguing and unconventional read, "Shared by the Monstrum" may be worth checking out.

I could have finished this last night, but I went to the second seder instead.

1.) LOL the cover
2.) I bought this book and another by her with my Amazon gift card money from my birthday. (Thanks friends for the gift cards :)) On Wednesday, my book started to fall apart. The binding glue wasn't strong enough, and 100 pages are still barely attached. Page 105/106 fell out completely. Fortunately, Amazon is going to send me another copy of the book for free. I'm going to try to donate the broken copy of the book because I'd rather not waste a book.
3.) Rating & Review :
3.7? stars

I liked the SciFi aspects as usual and the weird alien creatures mentioned. Mr. Fancipants, the fashion designer, and his conjoined twin, the architect, were funny.

In one section I really found the sex scenes hot, but then toward the end of the book, it didn't do much for me anymore. I've read a lot of her books, and all the heroes dirty talk the same way, so you get used to it after a while 😂.

I liked that our heroine, Mirabella, wasn't a virgin because that would have made it harder for her to jump into intimacy with both Monstrum Kindred. Her mother was from Yonnie Six, but her father was from Earth. He met a tragic end, and the mother died out of grief. Even though I know their love story doesn't end well, I'd love a book about Miri's parents. (Speaking of Miri, Mirabella's nickname, I noticed midway through the book how the chapters under Mirabella's POV changed from "Mirabella" to "Miri". I'm surprised no one caught that when proofreading the book.)

The heroes, Saxon & Lynx, are Bond Brothers. Saxon turns into a wolf when he shifts; Lynx turns into a lynx. Of course, they both have penis enhancements too.

Lastly, I wanted a little more depth into each character, though Saxon & Lynx's personalities were differentiated well. They reminded me of the Dark vs. Light Twin Kindred. Lynx would have been the Light Twin.

A simply wonderful addition to the series, I guarantee that you will be enthralled by this story
This was a simply wonderful read and right from start to finish I enjoyed every moment of the story and the characters and the plot which was so very well written and it has you completely engrossed from start to finish.
Lynx, Saxon and Miri have nothing nut fireworks between them on the day that they originally first met and even though she does not trust she is a strong sole with a big heart and beautiful looks that draw those around her.
The two Kindred Blood brothers are strong alpha males that have a very special connection between each other and anyone that is brough in to this group will be part of this triad and Miri will fit wonderfully in to their family group making them stronger.
This is another wonderful book by Evangeline Anderson, she never fails to bring totally different characters into her stories, they always hold you riveted and keep you coming back for more time and time again.
assure you that you will love every moment of this book it is simply a fantastic read.
I voluntarily received and review an Advanced Reader Copy
I thoroughly enjoyed the book and look forward to reading any future publications; keep up all the great writing

This author always entertains me to the max. It has over the top, roll your eyes hilarity. I laughed my way through this story even at the scary eww parts.
Lynx and Saxon are feline brothers brought together in their dreams. They must share a female in order to protect them and so much more. Miri is a young woman on a planet that does not suit her ethics or morals. By death she is the last one left ruling, making her an enemy of others. The guys must remain and keep her safe.
Always a HEA, alpha heroes and deliciousness in this authors work....loved it loved it loved it.

Female narrator left so much to be desired! The amount of times she miss-pronounced words was shocking, to say the least. She even changed how she pronounced her own name (FMC) multiple times. On top of that she made one of the MMC voice completely unattractive.

I contemplated not finishing the audio book because of her narration. However, I felt like I owed it to the author to finish it because of listening to all the rest of the series thus far.

I would suggest reading and not listening to the audio for this book for sure.

It was not my favorite. The story just didn't hit right at the time, and the narrators didn't mesh well. There was a word mispronounced throughout the audiobook and it completely took me out of the story each time.

The female narrator ruined most of the book.

The characters are good, the story is good, but oh my goodness the female narrator for the audiobook ruined nearly every spicy moment for me and beyond. Between mispronouncing names and doing terrible male voices I had to put the listening speed up to 1.75 just to power through her sections, which was just sad.

The male narrators however did a great job both in their parts and impersonating the MFC. Honestly, I would have preferred the two of them just read the whole book.

TL;DR Easily a 4.5 star book imo. But my overall experience is 3 stars due to poor audiobook narration for the MFC.

4 Stars for the story. 2 Stars for narration. The female narrator was atrocious. The rhythm and tone of her voice are better suited to a bratty child's part. She also mispronounced several words, including one of the MMC's names! I had to listen up to 1.75x speed on her parts just to get through them.

4&1\2 terrific🌟's for What d by the Monstrum💖

Oh I do so love these new Monstrum kindred their stories always make me want one for my very own! Lynx and Saxon are Monstrum from different branches yet chose to bond themselves together in a bond of brotherhood . they share everything including a mate . Both have painful pasts and are scared to love again but they are sent on a mission to protect a very special mistress of Yonnie 6. Mistress Miribelle is a very reluctant mistress. Her mother reveled against the traditions of Yonnie 6 and moved to the other side of the planet to live with her mate and to raise her family. Miribelle was left leadership when her aunt died and she's been under the threat of assassination for months. When Saxon and Lynx find her she's holed up in a panic room and terrified to trust. So much goes on there is lots of danger the chemistry is cooking g between all three main characters. They have past bad experiences to work through but it all comes down to trust and losing yourself to love! Find out what happens to these three sou!s who defy need one another. Great story highly recommend!💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥💖💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥🔥💖💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥💖🔥

Lion, Wolf, and a Human Woman Oh My!

As always another outstanding job Evangeline has done , within the realm of Kindred/ Monsterum Universe. This had a different take on hotness. There's intrigue, tears, laughter and of course hot streaming bonding sex.... That make you want one or two for yourself. Ahhh if only it was possible. I was not disappointed. Each book can be enjoyed stand alone or read as a series. You won't be disappointed. And this storyline takes place on Yannie 6 people with a unexpected twist.

You sure to know what I mean if you give this book a chance. So far all the Kindred Bride Tales won't disappoint you and nevertheless none are written with cliffhanger ending. Just so you know all books are different and no story is similar.

If you want loose your self with the series feel free to as me to loan you a book to get you hooked, although the first book is free to read. All reviews are honestly given.. FYI I have read them ALL! I'm her biggest fan...☺😍🤗😊!
Thanks and Stay Safe

I enjoyed this book 📚right from the very start. I liked Miribella when I had read a bit about this book 📚in other book and wanted to read the book straight away. I like the Monstrum kindred names straight away. I wanted to be Miribella straight away too in by dreams about the book. I liked the name love 💘scene with the Oracle and felt like I wanted it to happen again. I didn't like the chapters leading up to the Oracle chapters. I felt the Oracle would tell Miribella to stay with the scared seven right the start chapter 30 on words. 😀
I liked all the names in this book very much. They was times when I didn't feel like putting this book 📚 down too. I felt like I wanted to read this book 📚 again. I liked the love 💘scenes very much. I liked when all three of the main characters got the revenge and lived through their worst nightmares too, I felt sorry for them too. I liked all the names in this book very much.and the names for the ship's too. I can't wait to read about more Misstress and they body slaves now too.

Shared by the Monstrum

The latest book in this awesome series is the story of a newly appointed Yonnite Mistress, named Mirabella, who inherited her position through her deceased aunt. When the ruling members of the Sacred Seven are being hunted down and killed leaving Mirabella as the last one, she requests protection from the Kindred Monstrum Mother Ship. Lynx and Saxon, who are bonded brothers, are chosen to protect her. Although they are attracted to her, Saxon is unwilling to pursue it after their previous mate died in childbirth. As always there is treachery, danger and ulterior motives when dealing with Yonnite Mistresses, but this time it is downright evil. This author's imagination has once again surprised me with her descriptions of her characters. Wow! Loved it so much.

Unfortunately this was not remotely one of my favorite Evangeline Anderson books. And it may only be an audiobook which makes it worse since two of the narrators I've heard before and they are *awful*. In this book, Mirabella is the last Mistress remaining of the group that are in control of the rest of Yonni Six. She can't make her own decision on who else should be the head of that group, so she and two Monstrum Kindred go to another planet to get advice from the "Oracle" who of course wants them to do physical things in order to get her advice. Usually I don't mind the repetitive nature of the books, but this one may have put me off of my Evangeline Anderson streak I've been working on all year. (I've read over 40 of her books this year ..)

This book tells the story of Miri who we met in the previous Kindred Tales book. Bonded monstrum, Lynx and Saxon are to guard her and hot and spiciness ensues. I did think the sexy parts started pretty early for the storyline, but the male characters were written well enough that it didn’t bother me too much. I usually like a little emotional buildup, but it helped we had met Miri before. The author never fails to have funny names for her side characters and makes the story a fun little romp into another world. Another great edition.

Shared by the Monstrum, the story of Lynx, Saxon and Mirabella was action packed and absolutely overflowing with “sexy times”. It was definitely one of Ms. Anderson’s more erotic stories. Saxon’s struggles to overcome his past and the gentle but firm way that Lynx related to both Saxon and Mirabella took the story from simply erotic to romantic. I enjoyed this story and look forward to more Monstrum characters.

As always another fantastic addition to the series. I absolutely loved shared by the Monstrum plenty of action, intrigue, and of course steamy romance to keep you hooked from beginning to end. Can't wait for more book in this amazing series. I received a free copy via booksprout and as always my reviews are totally voluntarily and no monetary compensation was received and the opinions I have expressed are completely my own.

I do love the Monstrum Kindred. The Monstrum cherish all females just like any Kindred. The two bond mates (like a brother bond) are called to help one young female who is being hunted by a killer. The story has some action moments and a lot of spice. It is a m/f/m romance. The two males are also able to do partial shifts into an animal as well as a full shift. But the last is only in a last hope type of thing.

From their first introduction, the Monstrum Brother - Bonded pair, Lynx and Saxon felt a connection to whom they were assigned to protect, Mistress Mirabella.
A devastating tragedy from their past has Saxon convinced that he doesn't deserve another chance at love.
An unexpected trip becomes a journey of discovering what the future could hold.
Primally erotic!

So much romance in this book between wonderfully written characters. The two Monstrum warriors, Lynx and Saxon, are still grieving their lost mate and dealing with it in very different ways. They have some unique abilities only shared by bonded Monstrum.
Miri’s life was blessed until the deaths of her parents. Then the butchering of her fellow Sacred Seven rulers. It takes a bit of time and patience on the warriors’ part but the three heal together and become stronger.

Would have been fun to find out the results of the pregnancy test, will she only have 2? Maybe Miri will have girls, that would be lots of fun. Hope that this will give Miri the opportunity to be with both guys in their "beast" form. Glad that they remembered the video from the yachts system, were they able to bring the ship back to Yonnite for anything? I find the monstrum series just a little off kilter which makes them close to perfect.

Thanks for another great one Evangeline.

Loved It

This book had an interesting and intriguing storyline; I loved Saxon, so outspoken and to the point! Adding bonding brothers to the Monstrum Kindred was genius; Evangeline has quite an creative and expansive imagination. The description of the Skulls scared the mess out of me! It was horror, romance, and humor rolled into the story. Need more stories like this. Looking forward to listening to the audiobook if or when it is released.

Two are better than one!

Two Monstrum warriors who are bond brothers and can shift into fur animals. One is a Lycan and the other a large feline. A humanoid woman who is in charge of a world where women rule and men are slaves to them. The warriors are sent to the planet to keep her safe from a killer. You will have to read the book to find out what all happens to all of them. Their trip to another planet and other perils that be fall them.

Our favorite Kindred author has revisited three-way bonding! Yes, bonding fruit was necessary! Saxon is grumpy and growls. Lynx is considerate and purr-fect! Evangeline has certainly spiced up her writing for this threesome. I loved the combination of the Monstrum Kindred w/ similarities to the twin Kindred w/o it being a duplicate.

Wow, I only got this today and literally couldn't put it down. I love how the heroine is on a planet that is ruled by woman ,the sacred seven but she is a very reluctant ruler . I love how fate comes in and spices things up when the have to visit Delphi Prime. And it ends happily 😍 This is definitely an amazing page turner for sure. I also love how she ends up for two guys and a happy ending ☺️

Evangeline Anderson delivers the goods in her new kindred love story. Love the monstrum kindred! It is a sweet tale of love discovered while protecting our heroine from the evil after her. Love the journey through space to find the answers and realize they were meant to be together. Plus I like the hairy hero's!

I loved this book sooo much. The Monstrum books have been soo good and this one is bo exception. I really loved the bond brother element of the story.. reminded me of the twin kindred in some ways. The chemistry with Lynx, Saxon, & Miri were off the charts. The storyline was really good. Can't wait for the next book!
