Fated Vampire
Love bites. I never wanted to fall in love, I just wanted to be left alone. Then my best friend drags me to a music festival and I meet Alex.

I liked Draco at first and his beliefs and how he was with Alex. Somewhere along the line however, he was all about his needs instead and I started liking Alex more. The connection is nice and the chemistry is great however. I liked the side characters as well.

Draco Pike looked over his gallery, wanting everything to be perfect for the showing coming up. Draco was a vampire, the type that preferred a quiet, solitary life to create and enjoy art and music without having to entertain others. It did get lonely, though. His assistant Marie, a panther shifter, encouraged him to go to the Equinox Music Festival that weekend and not hide away in his office. She flipped over a Tarot card for him: two of cups symbolizing a fortuitous meeting. So he could hope to meet a business contact, get a new contract, or even fall in love!
Although he never wanted to fall in love, Draco let his friends drag him to the music festival. He met the young amusing prankster vampire Alex when they literally bumped headfirst into each other. Alex seemed perfect as they got to know each other better, and they went back to the gallery so Draco could “explain art” to him – even though Draco was well aware that one can either feel art or not, it was not something to be explained.
When Draco had asked what Alex did for a living, Alex answered very generally in a way that didn’t exactly tell Draco the specifics. When they got closer and he learned those specifics, his moral code would not allow him to accept it. Draco believed feeding from live humans should only be with their consent, never by force, glamor, or “vampire food services” which he equated with human trafficking. Yet Alex works in “vampire food services” and Draco is compelled to break off their relationship. The job pays well and includes some nice perks. But what does Alex want for himself and his future -- his comfy job or Draco?
I was enjoying this book and the fun banter until Draco started getting into kink elements which I hate. Draco began to care solely for his own pleasures – which is exactly how he stated it -- regardless of how Alex felt, and I began to dislike him. Alex didn’t matter to him at all and Draco was nothing but selfish and cruel. I had liked the other characters and the friendships so it wasn’t a total waste of my time to read this. I just wish the cruelty and nastiness could have been avoided which ruined an otherwise promising story line. Started great, then turned awful.

Draco and affluent older Vampire who runs his own gallery has some strange view points when it comes to his food he doesn't believe in feeding from humans so when he meets the perfect guy everything is okay until he discovered Alex handles the food humans. Alex he works at a where house that takes count of humans that have given consent to be at a vampires mercy for 2 years but he doesn't really know what happens to them when they leave until Draco makes him think about it.
Okay now the reason for the 3 stars its really more of a 3.4 stars the writing is good the story just okay for me my biggest issue was the two male leads everyone else in the story was good. Draco is judgy in his views of Alex in the beginning his description of Alex is nothing more then a new toy too dumb too appreciate art. And there sexual encounter the first time Draco was only thinking about himself. Alex for a somewhat old vampire is kinda just there he doesn't question anything and he lets Draco walk all over him they just don't seem two fit one is cold the other seems two laid back. This is why I rated this novella a 3.4 this is just my opinion and someone else may like the book better.
I was allowed to read and advance copy of this book via Booksprout and this is my honest review.

I loved this story about Lord Draco who is a few hundred years old he lost count after 300 he owns a art gallery and he’s a bit of a loner until his gallery worker Marie convinced Draco to go to the local festival and that’s where he meets Alex who is a young vampire but Alex changes the whole perception of Draco’s long life. I loved this short m/m story it’s a fantastic sexy read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

Sexy, Fast-Paced
The author served up another story of hot insta-love, proving she can write gay romance just as well as straight. The main characters have good chemistry because of their differences, and the second season of this series adds even more depth to the vampire culture. A quick, engaging read.
