Resumen del Editor

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a story in her Charley Davidson series…

When Donovan St. James’ precocious charge asks him—no questions asked—to tail the doctor who keeps their ragtag team patched up, he wants to refuse. Not because the saucy teen is getting too big for her britches, ordering him around like a mob boss, but because the woman stirs feelings in him he would rather not explore. However, when evil threatens the doc’s life, he realizes he has no choice. Sia saved his life once. He will try to return the favor. He just prays he can do it without losing his heart.

Running from the supernatural entity that has destroyed entire worlds to have her, Sia thought she’d found a haven on Earth with a motley team of warriors protecting the girl destined to save humanity. But when Sia’s found, she realizes something on this plane is more scrumptious than her: that very teen. So, she runs—and Donovan St. James follows. Nothing is more alluring than a scruffy biker with a lacerating gaze. And she vows to tell him that…if they survive.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Short story in the Charlie Davidson Universe

Cute sidenote in the Charlie Davidson Universe but its not about Charlie. I like the little side stories. Wish it was a little bit longer. I hope Charlie can rescue the others.

Entirely TOO Short!

Where is Osh?!!! I did love that Donovan got his own story and Beep is growing up. I definitely enjoyed the “Marmalade” twist! I do have to say…paying $2.99 for the Kindle version and $11 for the audible version of 3 hours is kinda aggravating but Lorelei King is an amazing narrator and consistently uses the same character voices she has used in the previous books (except for the new pronunciation of Marika in this book!). Beep’s and Osh’s book better be a really LONG story!!! Quentin & Amber, Donovan & Sia were like tiny little appetizers! We need a full meal, Darynda! We are starving!!

Great visit!!

This was a great story and it was so nice to visit some of the awesome characters from this series.

Fun, quick romantic

Getting to know all of my favorite, and some new, characters from the Charley Davidson series makes these novellas so sweet! As a standalone short book it is funny, intense and leaves you wanting more!

Loved it!!

I miss the Charley Davidson series. It's nice to get snippets into the other characters lives . Can't wait for the next story!!

Happy to be back in the Charley Davidson universe

I finished reading the main series a year ago and had no idea these novellas existed. I really loved the main series and was thrilled when I came across The Grave Robber. I didn’t remember who Eric Vause was but it didn’t take me long to get sucked back in. This story focused on Donovan St. James and Sia, the doctor hired by Charley and Reyes to care for their crew which is important when you can’t explain most of the injuries, and some of their crew aren’t human.

I loved finding out Sia’s backstory, and learning more about when she and Charley first crossed paths. The attraction between Donavan and Sia was evident and totally made sense, but I would have appreciated Jones taking a little more time with it. The first of the novellas was the longest and was very satisfying, and it makes me wish the next three were somewhat longer. But that’s just me—I love this series and always want more, lol!

Lorelei King is one of my favorite narrators and I’m so happy she does these novellas. She is perfect for this series and I was able to imagine Scheherazade telling these tales. She’s a female narrator who does a great job even with men’s voices and I always feel like I’m listening to someone weaving a tale in front of an audience.

I really loved that Charley and Reyes had cameos in this one although we still have no idea what they’re really up to, or why they have chosen to keep themselves hidden from Beep. Still, it was fun to have them pop in and appear to be doing fine, especially after all they went through in the main series!

Never disappoints

Love everything but the story was done before I was ready! Looking to the next installment…

Fun, fast listen!

It took me a while to figure out who was who since it had been a while since I read the Charlie Davidson series. But once I had, it made the characters more real for me. Donovan will always have a special place in my heart.

I love the story. It's well-written, moves at a great pace, and the characters crawl into your heart and keep you enthralled. I also loved the snippets of Teen Beep.

Very nice!

Aahhh! Donovan got a happily ever after story too! Though, it certainly seemed that things were going to end in heartache! The narrator did a great job with providing unique voices for each character and appropriate tone inflections for each scene!

Fun catching up with the gang

I really enjoyed this book and hearing what’s going on in the world of Charlie Davidson, her family “beep” and friends!

Thank you Darynda for keeping us loyal fans of Charlie’s world in the loop!
