To die a slow, painful death, or become one of the blood-sucking undead?
For Brenda Verga, there’s no choice. She can’t fathom leaving her husband, Nico. Nor can she ignore the allure of her husband’s best friend, Rich, when he offers to help turn her. Together, the three of them explore what it means to be part of a triad—three souls brought together by an unbreakable bond forged in blood.
However, happily ever after isn’t in the cards . . . yet. The trio must answer to the Elder’s Counsel—a group of vampires burdened with keeping tabs on their kind. Brenda must convince them that her blood bond with Nico and Rich won’t be a danger to mankind. And failure will come at an extremely high cost.

Be ours forever is a great work of fiction by R.C Murphy. I was immediately drawn in with the characters; I wanted to know more about them, what led them to where they are now. The emotion each person in this story conveys is one that is rarely found, for me at least. I found my pulse pounding when theirs did, became angry when they were angry. It takes a lot for me to care about characters so much that I feel like I am part of the story in watcher mode.
The story flowed smoothly, each chapter bled into the other with fluid grace, which helped with drawing me into the story further. Anyone looking for a fresh perspective on the vampire world should pic this book up. It was captivating and kept me glued to it. I don’t know if R. C. Murphy has plans of letting us into Brenda, Nico, and Rich’s world anymore, but I for one am hoping for another installment.
I cannot imagine not having them around, I want to see more of them, delve into their lives more, and figure out what makes them tic as it were. In one installment these characters have already become favorites. I can find no faults with this book, anyone who is a vampire fan NEEDS to pic this up, it’s a great addition to your collection. I promise you won’t be disappointed, and in the trios words you need to come and ‘Be Ours Forever’.

This story grabs you from page one and doesn't let you go! I won't give away spoilers, I'll just say that everyone who loves Vampires and paranormal romance must read this book.
Not one boring moment in this book.
Ms.Murphy's descriptions of places and the characters was so richly captured, that I felt like I was walking through the mansion, and seeing through Brenda's eyes.
I was literally sad when I finished! I must have more of Nico, Brenda and Rich! and even crazy Emerald.
Kudos to Ms.Murphy!
And since she is my friend I have to say how proud I am of her!

A short and fast-paced paranormal love story. It grabs the reader from the start and introduces them to a world of vampires and the politics behind one group of them. The scenes are described well, bringing the reader right into the middle of it all - and the explicit scenes are quite hot. For a first book, this is a great start for many future stories from an up-and-coming author. R.C. Murphy definitely has a hit here, with as much potential for the future as True Blood and Twilight.
