Hunger Pangs: True Love Bites: Fluff and Fangs Edition
In a world of dwindling hope, love has never mattered more....
Injured in a seemingly pointless war, Captain Nathan J. Northland returns home to Lorehaven to an uncertain future. He doesn't know what to expect, but it certainly wasn't being posted on an island full of vampires. An island whose local vampire dandy lord causes Nathan to feel strange things he’d never felt before.
Feelings about fangs.
When Viscount Vlad Blutstein agreed to hire Nathan as captain of the Eyrie Guard, he hadn’t been sure what to expect either. It certainly hadn’t been to fall in love with a disabled werewolf. A werewolf who treats him with respect. Kindness. More kindness than Vlad feels he deserves. Vlad has fallen and fallen hard, and that’s the problem.
There's a storm coming.
Torn by their allegiances—to family, to duty, and the age-old enmity between vampires and werewolves—Vlad and Nathan find themselves in a difficult to love where the heart wants or to follow where expectation demands.
The situation is complicated further when a mysterious and beguiling figure known only as Lady Ursula crashes into their lives, bringing with her dark omens of death, doom, and destruction in her wake.
One thing is for Nothing will ever be the same.
This is a fluffier version of Hunger True Love Bites as requested by several of my fans. The majority of the story is the same with only a few scenes changed to accommodate those listeners. Contains full romance, lots of kissing, and fade-to-black scenes for those who like a little more fluff with their fangs.

This is a fun story. I enjoy the main characters and their complex relationships with their families, each other, and their wider world.
Nathan -- the werewolf -- starts off the story disabled in ways that are being worsened by medical neglect/incompetence, and the moment when he gets a competent doctor who listens and solves that issue is triumphant. He isn't completely healed, so if you're looking for a miraculous recovery you probably won't be satisfied, but I found the way it's handled delightful.
Vlad's story I won't spoil, but I will say that he manages not to come off as either an authorial grab for pity or an over-simple hero, either of which he could have been.
Ursula's story recontextualizes the other two's perspectives in a fascinating way and I'm excited to see more of her in the sequel. She's also got her own things going on, which I appreciate.
This book is very clearly the first in a series, but it ends on an emotionally satisfying note with the promise of hope.

4.75 stars. Some of these scenes were very interesting (and awkward!) to listen to on audio. But that didn’t dull my love for this book in the slightest. Vlad and Nathan! Nathan and Vlad! I adore them so much and my heart was so full during every scene that they had together. The plot was okay but how great of characters Vlad and Nathan were individually and then how they were together carried this book.
