Taste of Fate

Vampires of Sanguine, Book 1

De: Sophie Ash

Narrado por: Mari Bee, Jon Brattin

To save my best friend, I sacrificed myself to a vampire.

The fanged warrior wants nothing to do with me…until he gets a taste. Now, he won’t let me go.

Cyan of Blood ‘til Dawn never wanted a blood pet, a human to protect and care for in exchange for blood. But thanks to a centuries-old agreement between humans and vampires, he’s stuck with me. As long as my best friend is safe, I’ll accept the hand I’m dealt.

Cyan, with his sharp smirks and ruthless teasing, prefers variety when it comes to his feedings. He’s not the type to commit to one blood source, let alone one female in his bed. Clearly, neither of us want this blood pet arrangement.

Until a tiny cut spills my blood and undoes everything.

Cyan can’t stop himself from tasting me. And I can’t help but crave the toe-curling pleasure when he draws on my vein.

He may be addicted to my blood, but that doesn’t mean Cyan desires me.

Good thing I’m more than just a pet to a bloodthirsty man who will never love me.

I’ll make him regret using and discarding me like a toy.

Even when I want him just as badly as I hate him.

Taste of Fate is a standalone romance with a guaranteed HEA. This series contains fated mates, possessive vampires, and a new world full of conflicts and secrets. Perfect for fans of The Black Dagger Brotherhood and Immortals After Dark!

Is enjoyable enough.

I did enjoy the book. It did have its fun moments and also some annoying moments. I am still happy I read it but not sure I will continue the series if more come out. For the most part this is a very predictable relaxing book to read in my favorite genre and if you are here for that then I think this is an OK book to read and is still enjoyable. The most frustrating complaint I have is the way the author makes the MML act like a wishy-washy A-hole to the FML to add some drama to the book when it was so out of character for this guy and even in his inter monologs he does not think or feel the way he is acting to the FML. I mean I almost did not finish the book because it just did not fit and was extremely annoying and made the MML act so much like an A-hole I never really liked him after that and lost my desire for them as main characters to be together. Also the pacing in my opinion was off. The bulk of the book is just them misunderstanding each other and it is boring and annoying and then at the very end they are all over each other with no real rediption reason for the FML to take him back. Then lastly the female narrator was an amazing narrator. She had distinct characters voices, she had emotions when spoke. She was the only reason I was able to finish the book. The male narrator was not so good. I am not sure what was going on with him but even word he spoke was very breathy. He was constantly like ending each word like he was alittle bit out of breath. This could just be me nit picking but I felt he was not at his best with this performance. Other than that he did ok. However I will say this that I appreciate the author doing the duet style narration. That did make the audio book more enjoyable. Truly this book falls very middle of the road for me.
