Blurb:Felix the vampire has wanted to give Julian a bite for years—a love bite, that is. When the unknowing Julian sets out to find a mate, Felix is horrified. He decides to give Julian a lusty experience that will change his mind for good.

Felix was a vampire and had been for almost as long as he could remember. That is something that most people don’t know about immortality; there comes a point when the first twenty-five years of mortal life feels like nothing more than a dream. Felix, who was over three hundred years old and had stopped counting, was at that point. Once upon a time, he had been the son of an archduke in England. Once upon a time, he had been a mortal.

But that was a lifetime—or more rather three or four—ago

Review:   Felix is Julian’s Secretary and has been in love with him for years, hundreds of them. Julian is leader of the Coven, a parliament meeting and is told to find a mate and to fire Felix. What will Felix do?


This is a very short story. It had great premise with the dilemma to find a mate a fire Felix. The wild sex that ensues is powerful and hot and I liked that it was very super human not soft and sweet .I also liked some of the humorous cliché sayings. The new world they built fascinated me but we just didn’t get any real details on that either. The only thing that bothered me was it ended without letting us know what happens with parliament, or a real ending of any kind. 


I recommend this if you like other worlds, vampires, friends to lovers, politics, and rough a rugged hot managed.
