Wolfgang

Vampire's Mate, Book 5

By: Grae Bryan

Narrated by: Michael Ferraiuolo

Wolfgang Volker is many things: vampire, psychopath, connoisseur of fine living. But impulsive? Never that. Until the day he sets foot in Hyde Park and catches a certain enticing scent on the wind. His mate is here, gorgeous and oblivious and undeniably human. And it doesn't take long for Wolfe to make the most impulsive move of his whole undead existence.

Dr. Eric Monroe has plenty going for him: he's good-looking, he's a doctor, he's well, that's kind of it. And true, the citizens of Hyde Park think he's a sleaze and a dud and make sure to let him know it. And no, he doesn't have any real friends or family members who don't drive him up the wall. But that's fine, right? Until the day his standing massage appointment ends not with a tip, but with a bite.

Now Eric has to navigate a new world, a new existence, a new, very particular diet. All while coming to terms with the strange, obsessive, all-too-alluring vampire who claims they're destined mates. But what does it mean to be mated to someone whos never truly cared for another person before? And can Wolfe convince Eric to stick around long enough to find out?

Wolfgang is a heated, fated-mates MM paranormal romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains a possessive, psychopathic vampire soft only for his mate, and the insecure, needy human who can't quite come to terms with being wanted just as he is. It also contains steamy scenes between two men, and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. While each book focuses on a different couple, the series is best enjoyed in order.

Good story

I liked this book in the series. I enjoyed listening to it, the narrator gave a good performance.

An insecure doctor and a very competent vampire

I adore this series and I actually really enjoy Wolfgang. He's one of my favorites (after Johann....and maybe Soren). There's some debate over whether or not his a psychopath, but really I think the important take away is that he doesn't really feel guilt for his actions, is a bit selfish, and very logical in his approach. Eric has a need for people to show him affections. He definitely doesn't get any from his parents and has found that sex has filled this void for him. While it worked in a larger city, he's not having much luck in this new town and is definitely not making friends. These two actually work perfectly together because they both fill the other's need. Eric needs Wolf's attention and Wolf wants Eric (mostly) all to himself. Which is why I loved it when Wolf forced Eric to befriend the other vampires in town. This is a steamy story with amazing world building and loveable characters. You really won't be disappointed if you give this one a try and while it's not necessary I do recommend listening to them in order since the other couples do make an appearance. There is some overarching plot though it's not too strong. Michael as always is fantastic and I love the way he voices Wolf. You can truly hear Wolf's words dripping with his superiority. Absolutely perfect!

one of my all time favorite series

I love this series so much, so I had to get the audiobooks as they’ve been coming out & this one is just was great as reading it!

A suprising hit

I have to admit I went into this not expecting to enjoy the book. However, it took me by suprise. I enjoyed it and suprisingly loved Wolf and Monroe. The only thing that was a tad weird was Jamies voice was different than the one used in his book. I am in love with this series and cant wait to listen to the next book.

10/10 Story and Narration

Love in the Extreme

I'm not sure if my words will really be able to express how much I enjoyed this story. I have been a fan of this series from book one but this book takes the prize. Neither Wolfgang nor Eric have ever been portrayed as the greatest of people but I couldn't help wanting to gleefully welcome them into the family after this. That's even with Wolfgang still remaining unapologetically psychopathic in his thoughts and feelings towards mostly everyone except his mate. I had a lot of fun reading this one. I absolutely loved the audiobook for this. Michael Ferraiuolo's amazing narration adds even more to the story and makes it even better.

I received an ARC and this is my unbiased opinion
