Thoughts:
Claire is a career driven lawyer so when her longtime client
requests she come by at 5pm on the Friday before Labor Day weekend she doesn’t hesitate
to go. However, things don’t go as planned and she winds up locked in the
basement with the client’s son, a vampire who needs to feed. She’s terrified at
first, but this vampire, “Son” as his horrible mother never named him, is sweet
and gentlemanly. Despite her reservations and circumstances Claire finds herself
attracted to Son and the feelings are mutual.
Finding out Son’s sad story enrages Claire, but she’s got
plans to change things if she can manage to break them out of their prison.
The Story of Son was a short, steamy, addictive story
that sucked me in immediately! While set in the world of the Black Dagger
Brotherhood series it’s not a part of it, but fans will definitely enjoy it! It’s
a hot romance sprinkled with a bit of danger, and I enjoyed every minute!

Book Description:
First released in the anthology Dead After Dark, dive into this hot novella from #1 New York Times bestselling author J.R. Ward. Available for the first time ever as a standalone ebook, get lost in the sinful pleasures of a vampire so obsessed with one woman, he will relinquish her blood, if only he can have her heart...
Held captive by a dark, seductive vampire with an unworldly hunger, the beautiful Claire Stroughton fears her life as a lawyer has irrevocably taken a turn for the worse. But when this deeply sensual-and highly dangerous-vampire convinces Claire that his desire for her is stronger than his lust for blood, she is compelled to give everything up to him, body and soul...
Please note: this is not part of the Black Dagger Brotherhood even though it's set in the same "world".
The book looks interesting. I want to read it. Thanks for your review. Have a good day :)
ReplyDeleteI am glad that you really enjoyed this one. I need to get caught up on the BDB world, but man Ward is such a strong writer I may never get caught up haha
ReplyDeleteI'm behind too, Renee, but I enjoy her writing so I like all the novella and side stories that you don't need to read the others to enjoy. :)
DeleteWow, this was a short one at less than 3 hours. I've never started the BDB series because the sheer length of the series is intimidating. But this sounds like a good way to dip a toe into the series. :)
ReplyDeleteI know! It's a long series. I've only read the first 5-10 books (?) and then I read the spinoff. I usually only read the side stories where you don't have to be caught up to enjoy it. Her writing is addictive.
DeleteOh I did not see it was a Ward book, I just started to read the blurb and was all what?! Haha
ReplyDeleteYep, a Ward book. I enjoy her writing!
DeleteThank you for sharing. Regine

My pleasure, Regine!
DeleteI tried BDB and I know people love it but it's not for me.

I totally understand. Not every book is for every reader. We all have our personal tastes.
DeleteThis sounds good. I like that it's short steamy and suspenseful
ReplyDeleteMe too! Sometimes I just want a short story that I know I can finish quickly and enjoy.
