Quick read that had many holes

Enjoyable and a quick read!
The story line is truly a happy ever after sexy fairy tale!
It would of been good to explain where the butler came from and was he human at one time! Why his mother aged and why she treated her son badly!! Where was vampire dad!
This could of easily been a full length book!!

Great love prevails evil.

such raw passion and power but yet tender. no sacrifice is too much. get ready!

Pretty good for a short story

Although reminiscent of a BDB vampire this seems to be a complete stand-alone not associated with the series.
Those of us who read BDB and are familiar with Ward's vampires will find this an easy entertaining read with no need for a backstory. Others should enjoy it as well and may find it an interesting introduction to Ward's world.

Because of the nature of short stories, I find it hard to ever rate them more than 3.5 stars, but with this being an audible it gets an overall of 4.

Unique Novela

I hope this story is expounded on. Would like for the Brotherhood to find him and expose him to his vampire side.

SO SWEET!

The only thing I disliked was that it wasn't longer. I wanted more of these 2. I was hoping they'd run into the brotherhood. I wanted to know why the mother would allow this to happen to her son...I totally know it's a novella, but I'm greedy for another JR Ward masterpiece!

So sweet, but so short!

JR’s characters and story were excellent as always. I wouldn’t have bought such a short book if I hadn’t already trusted the author.

We need more!

Please say there will be more Michael, Claire and let’s not forget about the kids in the distant near future!!! We need to know all about Michael’s past and how they could possibly be tied into the BDB series!

Suspenseful love paranormal story!

Interesting characters & unusual world building. Endearing hero, Michael, transformed by heroine’s rescue. Lovemaking is intense & satisfying! Prologue brought a satisfying conclusion!

Loved this story

This author and narrator are a great team. I was not sure about this book because it does not have characters from the main series but they are well written and I grew to care about them quickly. It’s a good break for in between books. A great quick listen that I enjoyed a lot.

Another great story

I just Love the Black Dagger Brotherhood series and all the off shoots of it. J.R. Ward is an amazing story teller
