About this listen
He's a monster with sharp teeth, but I'm the snake he won't see coming....
Tormented. Lethal. Dead inside.There is only one reason Miguel became the bodyguard of a cartel boss’ son. So that one day, he can take revenge and put a bullet between his father’s eyes. To do that, he needs to keep his secrets close and play a double game with the outrageous Nero Moreno.
And there has never been a more infuriating demon of a man than Nero. From his filed teeth and green hair to the gaudy gold necklaces and a diamond-studded AK-47, he is narco excess personified, and everything Miguel despises. The fact that Nero hits on Miguel every chance he gets is just another burden, because Miguel decided long ago that there is no room for love in his black heart.
Slutty. Deadly. Lives to spite the world. No one refuses Nero Moreno. When he sets his sights on a man, sooner or later, his mark surrenders. With the endless buffet of flesh available to him, he shouldn’t care about rejection, but every time his insanely hot bodyguard gives him the cold shoulder, Nero is more set on seduction. He can see a spark of interest behind the dead black eyes. What does Miguel hide under his tattooed skin and expressionless face? Why won’t he let Nero touch him? Is his heart really made of stone, or does it hold a soul gentler than Miguel would like to admit? Nero will not rest until he finds out.
When their goals collide, blood follows bullets, and it turns out nothing is as it seems.
Gritty, dark, and intense, Love Among Reptiles is a dark enemies-to-lovers M/M romance standalone novel set in the world of cartels. Prepare for brutality, heated arguments, slow burn pining, and scorching hot, emotional, explicit scenes.
POSSIBLE SPOILERS: WARNING: This story contains scenes of violence, offensive language, and morally ambiguous characters, as well as sensitive topics of homophobia, suicide, child abuse, and SA.

Grousome scenes of murder and violence, child trafficking, drug use, kidnapping, drugging, sexual assault.
I absolutely loved this story. It is a good lenghth at almost 11 hours and it kept my interest from start to finish. I couldn't stop listening. There are so many twists to this story and nothing is ever really what it seems.
Both of the main characters were fantastic and they had amazing chemistry. It is a slow burn but there's some steam later on. The bodyguard Miguel had claimed to be straight but was really conflicted with internalized homophobia with how he was raised, so he needed to sort that out first. Nero wants Miguel from the first page, so there was lots of banter and teasing and push and pull and tension, .it was very entertaining. Nero is quite the character. I loved him from the start even when I probably should have hated him. He was the out and proud and wild type. Just having fun and not looking for love.
This is the 4th book I've read by this author and I have loved them all. I love the way they write stories and develop characters. I absolutely recommend this, just read the triggers first. There are very gruesome descriptions that made me gag a few times and stuff like that doesn't usually bother me, but I'd still read it again.
The narrator had a pleasant reading voice, seemed age appropriate for the story and kept a good pace. He expressed all the emotions wonderfully, did a pretty convincing Spanish accent and brought the story to life. All of the characters voices sounded the same unfortunately so I can't rate the performance 5 stars even though I really enjoyed the performance.
Entertaining from start to finish

Love Among Reptiles has it all and if you liked reading Guns N’ Boys you will love this! You first meet Miguel and Nero in the Guns N’ Boys series but you don’t have to have listened to that series to enjoy this book.
This is much darker than the motorcycle mayhem series so be warned, but it also has some very sweet and unexpected tender moments.

🎧📚🎧 And for the fabulous narration, Wyatt Baker did a great job bringing these characters to life, humanizing them, giving each their own distinct voice and personality, making it easy to follow along and tell who is who, his accents and voice choices were amazing. He had a complete understanding of the characters he portrayed, captured all their emotions, projected them into his performance and had you feeling every single one. Baker is a versatile voice artist and an entertaining storyteller. Thank you for another fantastic listen.

Nero, on the other hand, is openly gay, conspicuous and loud. And he takes what he likes.
Both men did not know love. So far.
The character development in this book was great, because both Nero and Miguel are fighting an inner battle. However, from different motives. And my heart has bled for poor Miguel.
But they must survive in this immoral world in which they live. This includes accepting the other, but also accepting oneself.
The story is dark and sometimes violent. It's definitely not for the faint-hearted, but I found the story very entertaining and action-packed. And then there's a kiss and a glimpse of light on the horizon.
Wyatt Baker has brought this dark story to life very well. He gave the characters the right accent and I was able to tell the protagonists apart. He did a great job!

I actually liked both MCs in this book. Nero’s living the high life – he’s a gangster with all the prestige and none of the responsibility – his dad runs the show. He does whatever he wants and gets away with it – including some pretty despicable things.
Miguel’s motivation is crystal clear – avenge the destruction of his family. His mother’s groomed him for this role, and he’s spent three years working with Nero to try to achieve said goal. Here’s the problem – how do you move on with life once you’ve accomplished your mission? He’d planned to go to the local cemetery and put a bullet in his brain.
His problem?
Nero.
Oh, what a ride.
This is a dark romance and I loved it. And I’ll totally grab the next Merikan that comes my way.
Oddly compelling

This book is dark, bloody, and violent. The main characters are morally gray at best, but definitely live on the wrong side of the law with little remorse and only a touch of guilt. These are men who do what they have to do in a cruel world. With such cruelty and casual violence in their daily lives, it’s no wonder these men have hard shells. This makes them falling in love even better. I’m a sucker for hard, dangerous men realizing that they are desperately in love and are willing to burn the world down for their love. It’s intense and keeps me on the edge of my seat. Nero and Miguel go through so much to finally find their happy ever after, but find it they do. I think it would be great to get a short story or two of their lives after the HEA – I want to know how they settle into domestic life.
The audiobook was narrated by Wyatt Baker who does a fantastic job like usual. I love how Wyatt narrated this book and really brought the characters to life. He made the intense, action-packed scenes feel vivid and I was utterly enthralled. The audiobook production was well done.
Intense and Vivid

Miguel is out for revenge for his sister's and father's deaths, and he is prepared to kill and do anything to prove to his mother that he can avenge their deaths.
Nero is the son of the most feared cartel boss, but is he as deadly as his father? Miguel works his way up through the cartel and becomes Nero's bodyguard.
Great story, but it is dark and, in parts, quite revolting, but that could be my imagination as well. :-)
It was narrated by Wyatt Baker, who does a sterling job narrating this book with great character voices, and it sold the story to me. However, I did speed up to 1.45 on audible like usual.
