Now that
he’s inherited the title, Ashton Lanley, Viscount Thorncliff’s life is all
planned. He’ll marry a suitable young female, settle down, and raise a family.
He isn’t very excited about this program but accepts it, until he attends a
scandalous masked ball and meets Gavin Wynters.
Gavin is not
noble. He’s a master thief, and a two-hundred-year-old vampire, and there’s
something he really wants.
This is an
absolutely brilliant short story. The world building, the historical and
contemporary scenes, the characters, and the plot all meld together in an
amazing blend of passion, lust, hate, revenge, and determination.
The book is
seamless and faultless, racing the reader back and forth through history as the
plot unfolds and the story unravels. Ash and Gavin and the main secondary
character have multilayered and interesting personalities which carry the story
as much as the neat plot does. There’s enough information about history and
vampires to answer any questions the reader might have, and plenty of emotion,
although very little sex. However, in such a short word length descriptive sex
isn’t needed. We clearly understand what went on!
I don’t know
anything about this author and was quite saddened to find they only have one
other book out. Hopefully they’ll write some more soon. This person is
extremely talented and I can’t wait for more stories.
This is an objective review and not
an endorsement of this book.
