The Vampire's Accidental Wife

Nocturne Falls, Book 8

By: Kristen Painter

Narrated by: B.J. Harrison

Welcome to Nocturne Falls, the town that celebrates Halloween 365 days a year.

The tourists think it's all a show: the vampires, the werewolves, the witches, the occasional gargoyle flying through the sky. But the supernaturals populating the town know better.

Living in Nocturne Falls means being yourself. Fangs, fur, and all.

Las Vegas headliner and vampire Desdemona Valentine is one cool, collected diva on the outside. On the inside she's petrified of falling in love after her last relationship nearly killed her...literally. Protecting her wounded heart makes for a lonely life, but she has her fame and fortune to keep her company. Who needs anything more?

Julian Ellingham does. One look at Desdemona onstage, and the vampire is smitten. She initially ignores him, but his relentless pursuit pays off when a wild night ends in a Vegas wedding. Finally Julian has everything he wants while all Desdemona wants is...a divorce.

Julian sweet-talks Desdemona into letting him prove his love, but his time is running out. Especially after someone repeatedly tries to turn his bride to ash. When Desdemona flees Vegas for the spooky streets of Nocturne Falls and Julian's protection, he's more than willing to help out. But can he convince Desdemona to trust him, or will "death do us part" become a reality?

Fun to read, even more fun to listen to

What made the experience of listening to The Vampire's Accidental Wife the most enjoyable?

B.J. Harrison makes the characters come to life with his voice. He draws you into the story and you keep wanting to hear what comes next even if you know from reading the book.

What did you like best about this story?

The spell at the end. I'm not going to give it away but it pulls your heart strings.

Which character – as performed by B.J. Harrison – was your favorite?

I love his portrayal of Julian.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

both. Kristen is an amazing writer and can really bring out the feels, and B.J. brings them out of the story in the narration.

Julian has met his match

I’m so happy to get Julian’s story I have been curious about him since the first book and love getting to learn more about him and why he is the way he is. Desdamona was perfect for him and challenged him to be better and show that he can be a reliable man who can be depended on. I am so happy to see Birdie play a large role in this book she is so much fun! This was so good! I was very pleasantly surprised by Julian and happy he got his HEA. I’m not surprised his would involve a Vegas wedding!

I did not expect to like it this much!!

I assumed the story was of Julian right of the bat of course and he wasn't my favorite before... I"m listening in order so I knew I couldn't skip one :) I didn't get caught up right away but it didn't take long!! This story is great, they are a great match. Desi's story of her past... OMG! I could just picture her there. My heart broke for her and I was angry for her as well! I love how the stories show us the side of the characters we couldn't know from other stories. Julian has a history of loving the ladies and them losing it over him. This shows us a deeper more romantic side of him that is so wonderful. I was actually happy for the characters in a book at the end of this like they were real. That's the sign of a great story! I just love this series!

let's dance

i so enjoy these books. This one had me greening and laughing to the end. The store line was well written.
