This was a free novella through Amazon. I haven’t read anything from this author before, but the tag of “Historical Paranormal Romance” caught my attention. My three favorite genres combined into one!
Super Short Summary:
Lady Amelia is an almost-on-the-shelf-woman at 21 years
old. She is restless and bored of the
usual social niceties.
Dimitri we soon learn is a lone wolf who has been called
upon by his old pack (the only pack?) to find the missing daughter of the long
dead pack’s previous alpha male and female.
Lady Amelia and Dimitri meet and sparks fly but it appears
that Dimitri knows there are other plans for Lady Amelia and struggles with his
own feelings about her future.
Thoughts:
This was a novella and I read it in an hour or so. Sometimes I prefer novellas as I can get a
short story: beginning, middle and ending all in one sitting. I enjoyed meeting Amelia and Dimitri
both. Often one of the main characters
will annoy me at some point, but neither did in this case.
I enjoyed meeting some of the other secondary characters
like Aunt Lettie and the Earl. They were
likeable and three dimensional. I am not
such a fan of Dimitri’s sister.
There are a couple of characters that are portrayed as bad
guys but then are either shown to be good guys or just fade into the back
ground. I feel like Vlad’s situation was
unresolved.
Overall, I enjoyed this very much. The summary doesn’t say much so I can’t tell
if explaining which of the various paranormal creatures exist in this book
would be a spoiler so I won’t say anything except it is my favorite of the
paranormal creatures here.
Favorite Quote: Lord
Carew to Lady Amelia
“Lord help me,” he whispered, “you are so beautiful it
causes me pain.”
