An unlikely partnership...

Demon hunter Liz Marlowe and vampire Jack Morgan have hated each other from the moment they met. But when a powerful enemy threatens their beloved city of Boston, they form a reluctant alliance. It's supposed to be temporary--just one night, in fact. But as the tension between them builds to the breaking point, neither is prepared for what happens next.

The Blood and Absinthe series:

Book 1 - Taming the Vampire (a novella)
Book 2 - Bound by the Vampire (a novella)
Book 3 - Claiming the Vampire (a novel)

Available as a bundle in Blood and Absinthe: Books 1 - 3.


EXCERPT

"I'll stay on one condition," he said.

Her heart thumped against her ribs. "What?"

"We'll do the ritual, but on my terms."

She wished he wasn't so tall. It gave him an unfair advantage, being able to tower over her like this. It was hard to breathe, hard to--
 
"What do you mean, your terms?"

"Do you want to know a secret?"

Her blood was rushing in her ears. She couldn't speak.

He slid an arm around her waist and pulled her hard against him. She gasped, as shocked as if she'd stepped into icy water. She felt his strength, his power, and for a second her own power seemed to desert her. He bent his head close to hers. "I want you," he whispered.

Her face flamed, like a teenager's.

"I've wanted you from the first moment I saw you," he said, and now his lips were on her throat, at her pulse point, against her collar bone.

She opened her mouth but no words came out. Her eyes closed and her head went back, and he kissed his way up her throat, to her ear, and then he was whispering to her again.

"I can make you feel good, Liz. Better than anyone's ever made you feel."

BRIEF SUMMARY
Liz is a part of the Green Fae Clan and is a demon hunter. Jack is a vampire and one of the few Liz is not permitted to kill, as he is an allied to Liz's clan. Both Liz and Jack dislike each other since they've met. With an evil killer loose in Boston, both Liz and Jack needs to come together to kill the threat.

THOUGHTS (might contain spoilers for some)

This might be a novella, but it packed a good read for the length of the book. Even though Liz and Jack seem to dislike each other, it brought out good chemistry that readers will love. Jack's verbal witty attacks towards Liz were cute. Only Liz and Jack can say I hate you so many times and make it sound so sexy. Needing to battle the threat, Liz and Jack needs to perform a ritual to become stronger. What the ritual entails gets an A+ from me. Once their moment came to initiate the ritual I had different stages of enjoyment. First, an awkward moment, then an entertaining moment, and lastly, a very hot sexy moment. The action towards the end was pleasing and I enjoyed Liz's best friend, Celia; hope we read about her in book 2.

I have no dislikes other than I wanted more of his vampire tendencies to be used a bit earlier on in the beginning.

***Update: I enjoyed book 2 in the series 'Bound to the Vampire'.

Storyline: GOOD
Intimacy: GOOD
Enjoyment: GOOD

5.0 out of 5 stars Just what I was hoping for August 19, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
A very fun and sexy read with smart, witty dialogue and likable characters. I was pulled right into the story. The hero is hot, the sex is seriously smokin'. Can't wait for the next book in the series.

5.0 out of 5 stars SHORT STORY WITH A SEXY VAMPIRE October 9, 2011
Format:Kindle Edition
Liz Marlowe is a warrior a member of the Green Fae Clan. She is a demon hunter, while on patrol she meets her nemesis Jack Morgan six foot six of drop dead gorgeous vampire with the bluest eyes ever. Liz and Jack do not get along never have, Jack does not not think that Liz is strong enough to fight demons, being only one-sixteenth Fae the rest human. Jack is one of a few vampires who are allied with the Elven Clans, he also likes to rile Liz he finds it amusing, full blooded Fae warriors are cold without emotion but Liz is part human. After her little run in with Jack, she goes to see her best friend and sidekick Celia, Liz has been taking Absinthe which increases strength and speed, but you are only supposed to drink it on the night of the solstice, it can be dangerous otherwise. Liz knows there is a new danger lurking in the city three dead bodies have already been found, something powerful never encountered before is out there. Celia is a spell caster she has been looking for ways to increase Liz's strength, now she has found it. There is a ritual which centres on having sex with a vampire, after that their strengths are combined in Liz for one night only, but Liz would be invincible. There's only one problem finding a vampire to have sex with, Celia has the perfect candidate for Liz, Jack Morgan.
What a fabulous story this is the writing is descriptive and you find it easy to visualise the settings and the characters, the reader is drawn into the story, which is well paced and flows perfectly. The characters have real depth. The sex is really hot. A brilliant read as this is book one in the series I can't wait to read the next instalment.

Chloe Hart was a good read. My only disappointment is that the books are too close to a short story format. I like my books to be long sagas (just personal preference). Read more
