At times I liked the story. At others, not so much. Hence the three stars. It wasn't bad. But it wasn't especially good either. I liked the main story itself, even if it was rushed. Non-humans commonly know their mate immediately. And Vas was no exception. That was fine. Bas is a human, also fine. He's, for all intents and purposes, broke and homeless so he's desperate. I get that. But to find out you're the mate of a vampire king in just a couple hours and you don't freak out even a little bit? At no point is Bas even slightly tentative about this. This is one of those it's-not-bad-but-with-some-work-could-be-great books. Building the characters a little more, delve into the king's family a little more, allow some conflict between Vas and Bas, draw out the resolution of initial conflict a little bit. This would make a great novella, or maybe even a prequel for a series. There is potential for it. There was so much more that could be done to build this story. It was well formed and charachters were likable.. but really not given a chance to know them. I guess I should always start one of my stupid reviews with - I DO NOT LIKE SHORT STORIES.. Why do I read them?? I don't know.. but I do like Amber Kell's style... This story had us meeting two very different men. It quickly introduces them and runs the course to thier mating. A couple of little speed bumps along the way.. so it's great for a quick read.
Do You like book The Vampire King's Husband (2009)?
Short & sweet. This vampire story zoomed by..an easy afternoon read that has a happy ending.
