Publisher's summary

First released in the anthology Dead After Dark, dive into this hot novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward. Available for the first time ever as a standalone ebook, get lost in the sinful pleasures of a vampire so obsessed with one woman, he will relinquish her blood, if only he can have her heart...

Held captive by a dark, seductive vampire with an unworldly hunger, the beautiful Claire Stroughton fears her life as a lawyer has irrevocably taken a turn for the worse. But when this deeply sensual—and highly dangerous—vampire convinces Claire that his desire for her is stronger than his lust for blood, she is compelled to give everything up to him, body and soul...in The Story of Son.

A Macmillan Audio production from St. Martin’s Press.

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!!

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.

Overall nice story. Would definitely recommend. Though the narration was good, there were times I could not tell whether it was the female or male character speaking

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!
