About this listen

Riley’s Guardians are breaking apart, and he fears he can’t put them back together again.

A hybrid born of an Angel-Fallen union, Riley Shepard is an anomaly coveted by both sides of an ancient war. But he doesn’t want to fight their war; he has his own battles to face. As his family fractures, bonds are tested, and forbidden feelings threaten to tear his heart into bloody thirds.

When the next attack comes - not from the outside but from within - is he strong enough to separate truth from lies, allies from enemies, reality from fantasy? How can Riley know what’s true, when he doesn’t even know what’s real?

Life isn’t simple, love is complicated, and reality is terrifyingly blurry.

Illusion is the third book in the slow-burn harem/poly romance series, Fire & Brimstone, featuring hurt/comfort and broken but brave guardian angels; the first spicy taste of love, and an unlikely hero who learns to embrace his deepest desires.

Trigger warnings include: aftermath and non-graphic mentions of sexual assault, self-destructive behavior, and situations of mental instability.

For a series that accidentally fell into my hands (ears), this has quickly become one of my favorite stories EVER. I love everything about this - from the story, to characters, to the slow but oh so believable and relatable burn, to the wonderful and complex relationships and the diversity of all the different ways we love. The story is so believable it melts my heart. I can’t put it down. And the narrator Kirt makes all of the above a million times more enjoyable through his magnificent performance. Wow. Just wow.

I’m in awe of these series

Story: This series is just getting better with each book. This story continues with where book 2 left off after what happened with Noel and how they all are dealing with it, Super angsty and definitely made me tear up more than a few times. I will admit that with the title of the next book that I am a bit hesitant with it but not enough to stop. I need to know what happens next.
Narration: Kirt Grave is great. He really makes you feel all the emotions the characters are feeling. Amazing

Oh the emotions

This amazing series continued in book 3. I enjoyed a lot how Riley, Jai, Noel and Gideon overcame new challenges in their feelings and relationships, while struggling to accept the past. I need to made a couple of comments: First, this book is part of a series, you really need to read it in order, or you were going to loose all the captivating plot, the intricate relationships between the characters and how everything started. One of the best series ever written by Ms Knight. Second, this book is intense, full of angst and many difficult emotions that made me cry and cause me stress but at the end all settled just fine. Mr Graves is a wonderful voice actor and managed all the emotions and feelings beautifully helping me to enjoy even more the characters and the story. Great narration!

Riley’s life is complicated. As an anomaly whom everyone wants a piece of, he struggles. He has his protectors, sure, but even they can’t agree on how to care for him. He just wants to finish college and to keep the peace in the house. Oh, and NOT fall in love with the guardians who would give their lives for him.

Sometimes, school is the easiest part of his world. When his old foster mother reappears, things get much worse. He’s declared mentally unstable, and his world begins to crumble. It seems as if even his guardians aren’t going to be able to rescue him. But, as they have his entire life, they step up. And if that foster mother might’ve finally gotten what she deserved? I would be okay with that. Those stories of abuse still haunt me.

This isn’t an easy book – none have been so far. Riley’s early lessons of the deviancy of homosexuality have had a profound impact, and the rules about how guardians interact with their charges leaves him even more confused. He’s attracted to the three men in his life tasked with caring for him. But the rules say he can’t have them in that way.

By the end of the book there is a potential work-around, but there are far too many open questions. I know the series continues, and I can’t wait for the next audio to come out. Especially because Kirt Graves is such a great narrator. He’s perfect for the angsty and still young Riley. He does the other characters well also, but his Riley sticks with me. Can’t wait for more.

My favorite harem-to-be
