Marooned for a Night #3

Stranded with an Alien Vampire

Rate this book
Staying in a charming cabin in the Montana wilderness, during off season, sounds like a lovely vacay because I’m cheap. But it turns out someone else has rented this small cabin at the same time as me (ugh) and I quickly learn three things about this ferocious guy I’m double-booked

He’s handsome as hell in an edgy ‘dressed always in black leather’ kind of way.

He’s not of this planet.

And he’s got bags of alien blood stored in the fridge. Sharp, white fangs peek from his mouth and he licks his lips while gazing hungrily at the veins on my neck.

Is this guy a vampire?

Well, hell. And now there’s a freaking snowstorm outside and we’re both stuck here together with no way out.

And for some reason… this doesn’t worry me as much as it should.

What better way to get through a snowstorm than with wine, a roaring fire, and some big muscular arms wrapped around you?
You'll be doing a snow dance and begging for a blizzard of your own after reading about being Marooned for a Night with these hot possessive men.

Three standalone stories by best-selling steamy romance authors, Hope Ford, Olivia T. Turner, and Michele Mills. A snowstorm has never been so steamy!

3 smut-scale stars!

"I am a powerful Korn who wants nothing more than to sink my teeth into her neck and drink her blood while I fuck her blind, leaving my seed in her womb so I can later watch her stomach swell with our offspring.

Enough said...am I right?

Boring

Their interaction was all in the cabin talking about the same thing over and over. Then they leave the cabin after the week was over to go back to town and that too was only mentioned in passing. At the end was a wedding ceremony with both of their family and friends there but guess what, no interaction with them either, no introduction, not any comments as to how the families reacted to each other, nothing. No mention of how her pregnancy was progressing, after all, he was a new alien species on Earth and the gestation period cut have been different than the humans . Very disappointed 😞 it was a nothing novel. I could have done better and I am not a writer.

Stranded with an Alien Vampire is the third book in the Marooned for a Night Series.

Sabine has saved her money all for a chance to get away from it all and enjoy her vacation in a cabin alone. She thinks she has planned for everything even with the upcoming snowstorm she is prepared.  What she doesn't expect is to arrive at the cabin to find it occupied by a super hot, alien vampire..

Hale has felt blood frenzy since he arrived in Montana. He thinks the only solution is to sequester himself away alone in a tiny mountain cabin until it passes. Unfortunately, there is an apparent mix-up with the rental, and Sabine arrives moments ahead of the intense snowstorm, leaving them no choice but to stay together. He promises to keep her safe even though everything is telling him she is mentally to be his, and with that come A LOT of strings.

This is a short sweet story with well developed characters and lite spice.i enjoy this author's writing and look forward to the next book. 

ARC was provided by Booksprout, and this is my honest review

So good

I loved Hale and Sabine's story. Stranded together at a Montana cabin for the week. I enjoyed these instalove stories. Hale is a species called Korn. As Sabine calls him her alien vampire. Was so good and a hot little story.

Gleeful Goblin Review: The FMC narrator had me hooked on this book from the first page. She's snarky, practical, and bitter about adult style problems like skyrocketing rent all of which I find highly relatable. "A brand new, boxy, olive-green Mercedes Benz G-Class SUV is parked in the primary space next to the cabin. The kind of car I’ll never be able to afford in this lifetime, or the next. Meanwhile, I’m sitting in the oldest Toyota 4Runner known to mankind because it’s paid for, has all new tires and still works great. I need every penny available for the skyrocketing rent on my tiny apartment, because the ski town in Montana where I live and work is lately overwhelmed with filthy rich people looking for vacation homes, causing a lack of affordable housing for normies like me. I’m not bitter about it though…okay, maybe a little. Just a teeny, tiny bit. I pause, pout my lips and tap on the steering wheel as I gaze at that gorgeous luxury vehicle. Who is this person? All I want is a week’s quiet vacay, alone, in this expansive, beautiful setting, away from my stressful job, which includes socializing nonstop at a fancy ski resort. I’m renting a simple one-bedroom cabin far off the main roads. It stands by itself next to a frosty meadow with no one else nearby for miles. Alone time in my “cave” is supposed to fill up my inner introvert well. No sounds through thin apartments walls, no one wanting anything from me because they can’t even get a hold of me (because I’ll soon turn off my phone)." Oh yeah, definitely big same energy from me here. But our FMC Sabine is also a bit of a risk taker when it comes to her new alien sweetie who is all "No, we can't be together because my kind mates for life and yours doesn't, blah, blah, blah." But Sabine is like "Oh we can't eh? Well, #OnlyOneBed sucker so what now?" Ok.... What she actually says is “Oh, wait, actually we could sleep next to each other without touching if we just put pillows and bedding in between us. Then we could both sleep on a bed and no one has to squeeze onto the loveseat.” His brow furrows. “I think it sounds risky.” “I think it'll be fine.” Hale’s jaw clenches. “Sabine, why aren’t you trying to remain more distant? I’ve told you all kinds of things about myself that should make a human terrified.” “And where would I run to? The bathroom? No, I believe I will remain safe. I mainly need to just not touch you, right?”

This story is high octane spicy Instalove exactly as promised in the blurb and in keeping with the rest of the series. Totally a fun time, 5/5 Stars.

My reviews always contain spoilers, I write them so I can remember the story.

2.5/5 stars

Hale is an alien, who just happens to drink blood. But he is not really a vampire, when he exchanges blood with another being it’s for ceremonial purposes or during sex, not to exclusively feed.
Sabine is a human who needs a break from her job in a ski resort. She likes a week of seclusion to unwind from people and takes her vacation during the winter. Her favorite spot is a remote cabin in the mountains.
Sadly when she gets to her cabin she sees another car there, her cabin has been double booked and she has to share it with Hale.
At first he refuses to leave but a freak ice storm barrels through and forces them both into the cabin.
There is a lot of talking and explaining who and what Hale is. There is definitely an attraction between the two but Hake won’t act on it cause it will bond Sabine to him if they have sex and he tastes her blood. Lots and lots of mental back and forth for the two until they give in to their desires.
He’s worried he forced the mating she tells him he didn’t, she loves him. Epilogue six months later at their wedding attended by both sides family and friends. She’s pregnant, more I love you and he gifts her a house in her town.
Would have liked to have seen interactions between both their families with each other, they are two different spices how did his parents react to her and her parents to him?

If you’re looking for a fun instalove cabin romance, Stranded with an Alien Vampire fits the bill! The title says it all: Sabrina’s looking forward to a quiet vacation only to discover that her cabin is double-booked with Hale. And when a sudden storm traps them together, she’s rather surprised to see bagged blood in the refrigerator….

This is a short novella, so there isn’t a lot of time to develop the background. And I wish we were able to learn a bit more about Hale’s alien Korn race, as the role he’s playing is vital for them. But instead he’s dealing with blood frenzy. Yes, it’s a classic romance coincidence that the person causing it happens to be trapped with him. But I loved how Hale and Sabrina showed so much respect for each other. Hale doesn’t want to do anything that Sabrina doesn’t want. And I loved how he valued her job as a waitress, a profession that’s usually treated as a dead-end job in fiction.

Sabrina is kind and positive, and Mills adroitly illustrates that the mating frenzy affects her as much as it does Hale. Stranded with an Alien Vampire is lighthearted and fun. It’s a quick, charming romance read.

Very well written but..

It perpetuates a myth/trope I see in a lot of fantasy/sci-fi romance; the idea that the guys sperm is “too strong” for mere human birth control.

That’s not that works. At all. If they used spermicide, sure, then that would make sense. But all forms of hormonal birth control (HBC) work the same way- they trick the woman’s body into believing it’s already pregnant. If you’re pregnant, there’s no need to ovulate and produce a natured egg. This why it’s vital that oral HBC be taken at the same time every day. The hormones only last about 24 hours in your body.

So if a woman doesn’t ovulate, it doesn’t matter how strong the guys sperm is. No egg = no baby.

Aside from that gripe, it was a great book and I enjoyed it. I don’t usually do alien romance (shifters is as crazy as I usually get, lol) but these guys were human enough that I still vastly enjoyed it. (I’ve also read her Silver Vampire book in this same series and have an identical review for it. :) )

Sabine is ready to start he annual vacation in the mountains. She has booked a cabin a year ago and is looking forward to some alone time. She is rushing to beat a drastic cold snap snowstorm. When she arrives at the cabin, she is shocked to find a hot alien male already there. The cabin had been double booked. The alien Hale is struggling with his species mating frenzy. When his people are near a compatible mate, they go into a mating frenzy until they bond with their mate and start a family. The only thing that can help them get through it is being far away from others and drinking lots of blood. That is why he booked the cabin. He never dreamed that he would be forced to share that cabin with a compatible mate overnight. Hale doesn't want to force Sabine into a mating and starting a family but his frenzy is making things very hard.

You have no idea how sexy and cute that was! 😆😆😆😆

Gosh. That was adorable. It was steamy, yet loving. And when sex finally happened the pace was smooth. This is truly everything I’ve been looking for in a vampire fated mates book!

I soooo wish Michele made a series with these creatures! If she has, PLEEEASE tell me! I would DIE for series of vampires from Michele Mills!!

(⚠️WARNING: MAJOR SPOILERS AHEAD!!!⚠️)

Quotes & Notes/ Reactions:

(Page. 6): A brand new, body, olive-green Mercedes Benz G-Class SUV is parked in the primary space next to the cabin.[That is so specific…]

⭐️(Page. 22): She has no idea the danger shes in, being forced to stay here with me. I am a powerful Kirk who wants nothing more than to sink my teeth into her and drink her blood while I fuck her blind, leaving my seed in her womb so I can watch her stomach swell with our offspring. [THAT’S dangerous? It sounds hot-

(Page. 33): On my planet oftentimes a Korn comes into their Frenzy when already pleasure mating someone destined to be a mate. [That makes so much sense. I’m very happy this is explained when there are soulmates yet dating- 😂😂😂

(Page. 36): “And I need to drink another bag in an hour.” Then he glances back at the fridge. “And I’m worried it won’t be enough.” [Oh dear… SABINE! MAJOR VAMPIRE ALERT!!! 🚨🚨🚨]

(Page.49): She seems to naturally make sure our discourse is balanced. [Thats a sexy feature.]

⭐️(Page. 55): But if I walk into the front room to entice her to join me, she knows I’m not myself… Old me said that. [“Old me” Dude, that was like 3 hours ago. 😂😂😂😂]

(Page. 57): I pulled out my emergency bottle of Chardonnay [Because everyone keeps Chardonnay on hand when going to a secluded cabin in the middle of the woods… alone.]

(Page. 58): I acted like a schoolgirl, imagining my name combined with his: Sabine Bloodworth. Sounds good. [To be honest, it actually does. 😂😂😂]

⭐️(Page. 59): My curly hair falls past my shoulders and down my back. [I thought she had straight hair- (Page. 22): her hair is long, straight and blond”.]

(Page. 60): “I can shave it off later, if you don’t like it…” “No. No. Leave it. I believe it’s the most erotic sight of my life.” [AAAAAH! 😆😆😆😆]

⭐️ - Girlie- the sex. SO erotic.

(Page. 71): They are eager to meet and befriend these “hew-mans” they’ve heard so much about. [😂😂😂]

I loved this third book of the Marooned for a Night series written by various authors.
Stranded with an Alien Vampire is author Michele Mills’ contribution and a nice little spicy read.
Leads Sabine and Hale have unknowingly been double booked at what Sabine considers HER getaway cabin.
With a wicked winters storm on the way they agree to hunker down together.
Hale just happens to be an alien Korn on Earth to initiate trading relations and being near Sabine has caused his mating blood frenzy to flare into life.
How they navigate his predicament as they get to know each other is sweet as was his honesty and respect for her.
A very enjoyable, captivating, well written story. HEA.

I received an ARC from the author and am voluntarily leaving my review. Hale has rented a cabin away from everyone to suffer thru his alien heat. Sabine has rented a cabin away from everything to have a much needed break. Unknowingly, they both rented the same cabin and there's a storm upon them. What a time to find that their species is very compatible. I liked the storyline itself, even if it felt a little rushed in places. The characters were good together, but I wanted more emotion and connection and not just their issues surrounding his blood lust. At times it seemed more about that than romance. Overall it was a good story and gave the alien side to the triple author, Marooned For The Night series

Dual POV
Short & Spicy
Vampire/Alien - "but he's not from earth"
Forced Proximity
Blood Lust-Frenzy


I thought I’d planned everything so carefully, causing isolation during my blood frenzy, and yet I’m stranded with a human female—the exact situation I tried most to avoid. Arriving prior to this storm and staying in this remote cabin, was supposed to ensure my solitude and keep me from all other humans during the height of my frenzy.
But that plan has been blown to hell.



Soon I will lock myself in the bedroom and try to ignore her until she leaves tomorrow afternoon. This sounds rude, but it is the only way she will be able to avoid my fangs in her neck and my cock sinking inside of her beautiful body.

Trapped together through a freezing snow storm, Sabine and Hale try to keep each other at arms length. Hale is an alien here to establish talks with earth. Hes thrown into a blood frenzy for mating soon after coming to earth. Sabine is a waitress wanting a quiet vacation. Now they both share a cabin and an attraction that's off the charts. I loved Hale. He was a true gentleman and feared he put Sabine in a bad situation until she explained how she loved him. Wonderful characters, instalove, and happily-ever-after.

Stranded With An Alien Vampire by Michele Mills as a part of the Marooned For A Night series. And it was such fun!

Sabine and Hale are delicious. Sabine is a bit of an introvert, focused, driven, and knows what she wants, what she likes. She's inquisitive and sweet! And Hale is charming, trying to do the right thing, act gentlemanly, but is finding his unexpected roommate irresistible.

Their chemistry and their attraction is palpable, and their interactions are sweet, from Sabine being inquisitive to Hale being protective.

This story is short and sweet and left me with a smile on my face, and I hope it'll do the same for you!

Different !

I absolutely loved this different style of vampire love story. Sabine works for a resort where rich people go for skiing. She rents her favorite cabin for vacation or rather a week to be by herself until she arrives at the cabin minutes before the highly forecasted snow storm hits to find a vampire alien rented the same cabin. Now who stays or who goes?
I loved this different type of vampire meets human story where he is an alien from another planet with different ways from what you regularly read on vampires. Loved it and will be reading the next story too as well as follow this author. ENJOY!

I found this series by accident of course 😉😂🤷🏽‍♀️. I wouldn’t say I’m hooked cause the smut is lacking. Like only one chapter lacking and not enough details for my smut full mind in between reads. It’s what I be looking for as I fill my time with smut before choosing my next serious read.

Anyway, even without the detailed smut. The reads are sweet and enjoyable and of course a good 100 pages. The good thing I’ve noticed. Is that it doesn’t leave me wanting more. Which is a good thing. Cause a lot of these monster human smut reads have sometimes left me wanting more. And this series doesn’t or hasn’t done that.

If I get stranded I want a man from the planet Korn. Sabine may be stuck with this alien for a week, but Hale Bloodworth is one sexy alien with the cutest fangs. But if Sabine allows Hale to mate her it will be for life and does she want to be mated to an alien for life? This is such a fun fast paced sweet with a bit of steam read. I loved Hale and Sabine, being stranded together you learn a lot about each other in a small amount of time. And they did. Wonderful story great happy ending.

When Sabine arrives at her holiday cabin for a much needed rest she doesn't expect someone else to be there. He is grumpy and refuses to give up the cabin. Hale Bloodworrh. Needs to be alone. This isn't an option when the storm hits . Sabine finds Hale incredibly attractive. But the bigger question is will he be able to fight his primal instincts.
Enjoyed this read a great deal. I look forward to reading more by Michele Mills.

A fast moving, sweet love story!

Sabine and her alien get caught in a scheduling snafu, then the ice storm isolates them even further. I loved the static when they first met, each trying to make the other leave. But, as they are forced to spend time together, their feelings change. I loved how curious she was, she had so many questions, and he patiently answered them. This is definitely a fast reading novella, but it's long enough to get a good feel of the characters and to enjoy the story as their relationship develops!

Sabine longs to her well long vacation, a week to recharge and refresh from the hustle and bustle grind of her busy job.
Hale is from Korn, he is experiencing blood frenzy and hopes seclusion during the trying time will help.
Sabine arrives at the cabin to find it already inhabited by Hale. With a horrific storm coming there is no other option but to ride it out together.
Sparks fly, passions and needs are boiling over…
There is a lot of back and forth it is tedious
Book ends in an HEA.

Just when Sabine thinks she'll get to enjoy some peace and quiet, she finds the place she rented out already occupied. Hale has also rented out the place to get through the frenzy. They are both stuck together due to the incoming storm. But the attraction for one another is strong and with the frenzy riding Hale, they won't be able to resist one another.

I really enjoyed this quick instant romance read from Michele Mills. She always gives us strong characters, who are likable and relatable. Really quick read but worth it.

There is no way you can run from a snow storm even if it leaves you shut in with a hot guy that seems to have a taste for blood! Sabine has saved her last penny to get away this year however she was very much unprepared for having to share her solitude. Hale is feeling the effects of some sort of frenzy so decides to take himself out of circulation which would have worked well were it not for having temptation arrive on his doorstep and then have to stay as well. It is a shorter novella but I think you get enough to get to know these two.

An overbooking of isolated cabin has Sabine coming in contact with, Hale, a Korn alien. Hale has been feeling the mating frenzy since he stepped on the planet, and rented the isolated cabin. When Sabine arrives the feeling ramps up and he ingests more of the synthetic blood to save off the effects.

The more the pair spend together, knowing all there is to know about the mating between the species, the more interest is sparked. Is Sabine ready to commit permanently to her alien?.

He’s mysterious, sharp-toothed and yet kind. And sexy. Very sexy.

An alien vampire, a rental double-booking mix-up, a bad storm and subsequent forced proximity in a cabin? Sign me up! I loved both Sabine and Hale. They were arguing over who would stay at the double-booked cabin, but when the storm suddenly hits, he wastes no time taking her in and promising her safety. He was sweet when he retrieved all her things from the car despite the weather and I loved how their relationship developed. The heat between them was yummy. It was a short read though, and I wish it were longer. 5 stars.

I love anything Michele writes and this was another good one. This series with Hope and Olivia has been a joy to read, each story so creative. With this, we get a twist on a couple stranded in a cabin in a snowstorm. Our twist here is that our MMC is not of this earth and oh yeah, he likes blood. Sabine doesn't know what she is in for, especially since she is his mate. Steamy enough to melt the snow with a awesome HEA.
