The Vamp and the Biker
3.75⭐️
I loved the heat between Soren and Spade in the book prior to this - Protected by the Fox Shifter - so I was happy to see the series was continuing with their story. This starts with their first meet from Spade’s POV.
These are shorter, episodic books and they get right into it straight away. For better understanding and enjoyment I’d recommend reading them all in order to plump up the story. They’re typically quick bonding with some paranormal danger, and the couples from the prior books can feature extensively. This follows in the same vein with Soren and Spade insta-fate mating and surviving that relationship in Soren’s world.
Not long until the final book in the series is released and I’m looking forward to completing it and seeing how Dashiel and Landon’s story plays out.

I had the best time taking the dialogue and choice cringe parts and turning them into dramatic reenactments with my cats for my barely-amused husband. The stories could really be something with a little more care and depth, but that awful dialogue and need for editing kinda leave everything DOA. Truly mindless entertainment that is great for when you want to cringe and belly laugh and not put any thoughts into what you're reading whatsoever.
Review of advance copy received from Author
4.5 Stars
FMC: N/A (m/m romance)
MMC(s): Soren & Spade (aka Theo)
Tropes: m/m, vampire, paranormal, novella, mc, fated mates, insta-love/attraction
Spice Rating: 3.5
Series: Yes | Book Four of the Protected Series
POV: Dual
Cliffhanger: No, although it does hint at and set up for the next book.
Honestly, I can't believe I forgot about this series and was excited to see two new titles would be released. The series is made up of paranormal novellas with fated mates. One thing I loved with this story was the incorporation of the previous m/m couples. In the previous books this was more expected since they were brothers. It has me wanting to return and reread their stories. The story does move fairly fast and the spice hits from the start. There's no waiting around or 'courting' period as Spade and Soren's relationship moves ahead full throttle. There's some 'pause' so to speak as Soren worries about the health and safety of Spade due to his human mortality.

This was another great addition to the series but even though it is a standalone i would recommend at least reading Protected by the fox shifter.
I love a good vampire romance and fated mates especially when the fated mate is a human 😍 I don't know why but that just does it for me.
But we didn't just get fated mates but also an MC biker for a fated mate in this book which is two of my favorite tropes!
I also especially loved that we got teasers for the next book and I cant wait to read that one!
It did almost feel a little like a found family moment and I loved how all the previous guys showed up and was a part of this book too.
So if you like'
❤️Vampire/human
🩵M/M
🩷 Fated mates
💚 A little action
Then this is the book for you. A quick easy read but still with a good plot and a lot of people you cant help but love

Worth the wait. This story didn’t go where I expected it to go and I am not in the slightest bit disappointed by that.
I loved that Soren and Spade came together so quickly. We all knew they were fated and I appreciate that the author didn’t drag that out.
We all knew Patrick was going to be an issue but I didn’t expect him to attack the compound. And again, I really appreciate how this was not the climax of the story, but the catalyst for Theo’s decision to be turned.
The plot was solid. The characters were well developed. I loved the inclusion of the Blackwood brothers. I loved that we got to see the start of Dash and Landon’s story. Still haven’t met Grey (:D).

A romance of separate worlds, and souls united by destiny. You'll find action, love, friendship, family found, and above all, see our favorite Shifters.
Soren and Spade caught my attention from the moment they were mentioned, and their story did not disappoint. Both strong, loyal, and willing to give their all to prove their love, I devoured this book in hours, and it quickly rose to the top of my list of favorite couples.

Spade and Soren!
I knew Spade and Soren were going to be good based on their meet-cute and Spade's surprising reaction. Their attraction started more physical since Soren couldn't sense his fated mate right away. So the spice in this one was hot from the beginning. The action was jammed packed and I loved meeting the next couple of the series.

Loved this book
This story was moving along so quickly, I was wondering how much more we’d cover. I was not disappointed.
This love story between Spade and Soren was hot from beginning to end.
Ancient vampire and badas$ biker..you can’t go wrong.

This was a cute short read, very insta lovey, they're fated so makes sense but it could have been drawn out a tiny bit more. However I really enjoyed it so happy to rate this one quite high. I'm excited for the next book with Landon and Dash. These novellas are so fun.

I love this story of Soren and Spade; they knew there was an insta-love between them. They didn't know at first but when they were fated to be together the pages suddenly there was so much steam it almost made me sweat!! This wonderful book has me eager to see what comes next.

DNF@ 36% when the main couple has already fallen in love and mated within the first 30% of the book... I lose interest in continuing.
