Vampires Valad and Michael control the town and every ten years they pick a fertile woman from the village to be wedded to them as part of a tradition that dates back to over a century.
No one knows what happens to the women once they are chosen and, quite frankly, no one wants to know. The simple fact is, they are never seen again.
When curvy Siona discovers that her newly engaged best friend is the next girl to have been selected she does what no woman has ever done before. Siona volunteers herself to be chosen and to take her friends place.
Now she is about to enter the unknown with no idea if she will ever return...
When Siona volunteered to become the Vampire's shared bride she had absolutely no idea of what was to happen.
And there is nothing in this world that could have prepared her for what actually DID happen......
I was on board with the story during the choosing of the bride, the whole ceremony, even when Kayla stepped up and took the place of her friend. I was even interested when it took a more 'for science' route instead of the sexy menage route that I wanted, but when it went straight into left field with a vampires protecting the humans by fighting a war with the dragons... it lost me.
I made it to 57%. I kept hoping things would be more explained but I'm just getting more questions. Everything was just way to "insta" for me. Insta-lust, insta-love, no explanation of "why". I need the why's answered.
I truly liked where this story started and where it was headed. However, I found that at times, important details were skipped to fit into a desired book length for sales. I was a bit irritated by that. Then, finally at the climax, NOTHING! NO DETAILS WHATSOEVER!!! The potential for this book to do well was completely tossed out!
Bit disappointed with ending, very rushed story, with not enough detail to understand people's characters or motives. What happened with the dragons at the end? Ending was such a let down.
I'm certain there will be folks out there who love this book. Sadly, I wasn't one of them. I listened to the audiobook. Regardless, read it or listen to it. My opinion isn't the be all end all of book reviews.
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
Excellent book, not too long but the story is still full and complete. I wish other characters had been developed more and better explanation regarding the supporting characters, but even without those this story makes a great, short beach read.
I enjoyed this story very much. I love how Valad was a sexy playboy & Michael was so dark & moody. Siona was the perfect center for them. The story line was gr8 too. Gr8 read. :-)
This was a pretty decent read. I really think this would have been a 5 star if all the gaps were filled. What was with the dragons? What are gatekeepers? Why was Marcus such an evil jerk? Also, the fight at the end what the heck happened? One thing the evil dragon is in front of her and then nothing and it was all over? Uh how did he die? What about those "premonitions/visions" she had? Since she's half vampire now does that mean she is immortal? Also, from what I understand the whole reason they take a woman from the village is to have sex and possibly see if the woman a candidate for a child? Those who aren't the one who can conceive are paid after so long and move away? In exchange they protect the town. I cant understand why that would be a huge secret the town wouldnt know? Doesnt seem to be a big deal to me. Why make the town think those women died? So, as far as characters go they seemed decent. Now, I have to say I wish their "relationships" was more in depth. Michael was kinda out of it mostly though. Valad was an ok character but I felt I really didn't know him or Michael very well. They seemed to keep Siona in the dark a lot which she should have demanded knowledge of stuff. Sexual chemistry was off the charts. Emotional connections were there for the most part. I think this story and characters needed a little more background for it to work well. Its not a bad story and I did enjoy it but I did have questions and I was confused a lot. Siona seemed to accept things awful quickly without many questions or concerns. Especially the pregnancy. I think with so much going on in this story it was too short for what needed to be developed to make sense. This so didn't feel like 196 pages but maybe it was.
This is as good as the title implies. It's not the least bit fleshed out. There are some glaring errors but more than that are the plot holes. The big conflict is barely even an issue. I gave it three stars because it was mildly entertaining but I have no desire to read anymore by the author.
This was a very intriguing and fascinating story to read, which I enjoyed immensely. The story begins in 1882, and then moves to the present day. Mysteries and danger surround the town and Valad and Michael, two vampires, have been protecting it for centuries – but from what - and in return every ten years the town has to offer up a woman to the vampires; was this a death sentence? Kayla and Siona have been soul mates since they were six, so when Kayla’s name is drawn, Siona immediately volunteers in her stead, knowing Kayla is in love and has a future waiting for her. Siona believes this is her purpose in life and quickly forms an attachment to the vampires. Siona and Valad have a common interest in art, while Michael, a Doctor, is happy that he can further his medical knowledge. Siona’s blood begins to change when she becomes pregnant; though it is unclear what this means. Siona has a sixth-sense and has visions that feel both real and confusing. However, the humans are in danger and Valad and Michael have to take steps to protect both Siona and the town, even themselves, from a deadly foe, who is intent on gaining access to the human world. This was an extremely well-written and exciting story to read, which I would have no hesitation in recommending. I received a copy of this book in exchange for an honest review.
I didn't love it...but I defiantly didn't hate it.... I'd have like it more if it didn't feel like there were gaps in the story,certain characters actions didn't totally make sense like why was Marcus such an evil jerk? Why were the dragons evil ? Vamps gatekeepers ? No back story... .. Why all that trouble with the dragons "taking" her then the "battle" to seemingly over in seconds and one minute the chemistry between seemed kinda HOT ;) the next it was just kinda lukewarm... One of my better menage stories Vamp or otherwise but just glad it's KU....
I love vampires and i love romance. This story was amazing. It ha enough lore to appease the vampire geek in me and a great love story to make my romantic heart happy. I would have loved a little more detil in certain areas, a bit more about the relatinship between the guys and a bit more lore. However having said that this is great, fun, sexy, short read by a talented story teller. I will definitely read more from this author and would love to see this world expaded on with Sionia, Valad, Michael plus other characters. I would recommend this read to anyone looking for a fun,sexy, quick read.
This was pretty good! It was an interesting story with a background I'd never read about, and it overall made for a pretty thrilling read. A few scenes dragged and although they were entertaining, I thought it could've been executed in a way that made me wanting more, instead of feeling the need to skip a few paragraphs to get the ball rolling again.
The men were hot, but sometimes they felt a little two-dimensional with the way they treated her or acted. The sexy scenes were great, but when it came to actions outside the bedroom, I felt like I could've been introduced to them better.
I'd recommend this to my friends who love romance before I do to the ones who love fast-paced action.
Exceptionally engaging Vampire Menage Romance by Bonnie BURROWS
She keeps you guessing what's going to happen next which I enjoyed thoroughly. The characters and storyline have a wonderful romantic relationship between the three characters and just enough drama,struggles and suspense. I'm so recommending that you check out this absolutely wonderful book also her other books I have also enjoyed reading.
The dialogue is still pretty raw but more dialogue is better. A sacrifice to two vampires for the protection of her town the FH is pretty pragmatic about her situation. The two vampires are pretty cold and only seem to come alive as characters in the sex scenes which are pretty dry. Just not much life in this story.
Kindle Unlimited read. No cliffhanger. Two hot vampires one human woman. When her friend is chosen to go with the vampires, she volunteered to take her place. She gets more than she bargains for...a new life. HEA
Well written and flows very well. The storyline keeps you interested throughout. The characters are interesting and developed. I could foresee a continuation of the storyline. After all, just what will happen to the little girl in the future.
This is a vampire menage story but I did not love just love it. The story was good but the romance fell flat for me. They basically had a ton of sex but I did not feel like that there was a good romance to the story. I just did not feel the love. Lol!
Yup this was a good book. One part i was still unsure of at the ending but I did enjoy the read. I wish it went more into detail more towards the ending. But I'd read this book again.
