This book is exactly what would happen if I were to try writing fiction. I only wish that were a compliment, but there's a reason I don't write. I tend toward the verbose, I am more focused on getting all the information out there than moving the story along, and, in case I hadn't mentioned it, I tend to to write long, winding sentences and not vary my pace enough to keep a reader interested. All of that applies to this book. I adore the premise, the world she's built, the entire concept. She's...more

Book has an interesting premise, Vampires aren't just cruel and evil demons. This book cast Vampires and Human Wizards as mutually beneficial partners with the ability to make a Vampire tolerant to Sunlight and strengthen them while at the same time lengthening a Wizards life and adding a portion of the Vampires abilities as well but, only through feeding. This only comes with finding the magical attraction that foretells a possible partnership. The Vampires and Wizards formed an alliance to sur...more

FYI-There are really two romances going on in the midst of hunting the rogue vampire. One M/M between Denis and Martin, and the other not as prominent, and F/F, between Adele and Pascale.
It's another well written and plotted addition to the family of books. The world building I've come to expect from this talented author continues, there are good descriptions, a smooth flow within the complicated plot, nicely developed personalities and relationships, and believable problems. I e...more

Reluctant Partnerships, the second spinoff novel from the Partnership in Blood series, expands the family of partnered Vampire/Wizard pairs with the addition of Adele and Pascal, and Denis and Martin. The series as a whole is very good and I've truly enjoyed each of the books. However, Reluctant Partnerships left me a bit disappointed. So much of the story focused on the two burgeoning relationships that very little else was explored. The one consistent quality of this series has been the juxtap...more
