Publisher's summary

My legacy is to hate him, but I can’t.

Life was normal. Until a woman appears and tells me I’m an elf and she’s my grandmother. Not quite what I expected after another day at the office.

Soon, I’m thrown into a world of duty, magic, and monsters.

And a family feud as old as time itself.

I would have run. I would have gone back to my old life. Or started a new one.

But when the man I’m supposed to hate turns out to be my elven soulmate, the only thing I can do is fight for my right to love him.
No matter what kind of monster gets in the way.

Elven Duty is a gay urban fantasy romance with two star-crossed lovers, a ton of monsters hellbent on destroying this dimension and a secret “baby”. This book has a Happy For Now ending with a tease of the next book in the series.

This book was previously part of the Magic Emporium multi-author series. The only changes made are the fixing of awry typos and the addition of the last chapter tease.

Awesome start to a new series

This was so good. Jude grew up in foster care not knowing anything about his past or who he is. When he meet his grandmother Agatha and she tells him he is an elf, he thinks she is crazy. Roman is an elf that hunts monsters with Agatha. Jude & Roman fall for each other pretty fast/hard. I didn't see the twist with the monsters coming. There really is minimal angst, just some familial angst, in this one & these two were hot together. I will most definitely be reading this one again.

I'm so glad this came out in audio & John York did a great job narrating this one. He really brought the characters to life.

forbidden love

Elven Duty is a wonderfully written urban fantasy story. Jude has no idea who his biological family is, or just how special he is until his maternal grandmother finds him and brings him back to her home. Not long after Jude gets there he mets Roman and has an odd attraction and connection to him. Since this is the first time they've met they have no idea they're supposed to hate each other. I love Jude's attitude towards the whole, 'we're supposed to hate each other' mentality. He didn't grow up that way and doesn't understand why he can't just be with Roman. Honestly I think Jude coming to town was the best thing to happen to both their families. I just adored Jude and Roman together, so sweet. And Royal, you gotta love Royal. I definitely recommend this book.
Narrator John York does a wonderful job in bringing this book and these characters to life.
