This series picks up around the time of "Moonlight Breed 4 and 5" is happening.
Stavion is the vampire they meet in bk 3 of Moonlight Breed", and Jory is one of the friends that Willow talks about in bk 4.
There's alot of background info learned in this one, answering some questions and setting up this series.

So if you haven't read that series yet, at times you might get confused, if you read them you will know what is going on.
If you liked the shifter series, I think you will like this vampire s More...

2.5 stars.

Caution: Contents Under Pressure is your typical vampire bonding story. Jory was imprisoned and abused by the bad guys until Stavion’s clan swooped in and rescued his friends and him. Cue Stavion claiming that Jory is his mate and conflict arises.

Stavion is a reluctant leader, once a powerful Enforcer, recent changes in his coven have left him in charge; between that and finding his traumatized mate, he’s a man on the edge. His characterization is what I liked most about this novella. More...

typical gabrielle evans serial romance. nothing fantastic, nothing so bad it can't be finished. what is typical gabrielle evans? imagine a shorter harlequin romance but with no t&a (see, i was going to write no surprise pregnancies, but... yeah.).

out of sheer laziness, i will be using this as my template for all books by :
sunny day
lynn hagen
stormy glenn
scarlett hyacinth
carol lynne
gabrielle evans

unless otherwise noted. i'd apologize, but i'm not sorry. i figure it's about as much time as the More...

A spin-off from the Moonlight Breed series which I wasn't expecting when I started reading, so the beginning was a little confusing with all the unfamiliar names. Fortunately that passed rather quickly.

It's a fun and entertaining look into the making of a new coven. The story is well plotted with a smooth flow, it has good descriptions and characters with interesting personalities. There are twists and turns interspersed throughout to keep a reader's attention and plenty of action near end that More...

It's good. It gets 3 STARS because there are so many other books that are better.

NOTE: Read the Moonlight Breed series first. Actually, I would read Moonlight #5 and Haven #1 simultaneously. The stories run concurrently.

it's getting bored to read a series if it's related or a distant related to another series.
so many names and names were mentioned as if readers are supposed to know them.

in the end, i stop reading half away.

Just couldn't get a super into it. .. kind of felt on the outside the whole time. I don't think I felt connected with the characters.

It was sooooo boring for me, I could't finish this one and I read only a chapter first's part no more...

I finally understand why I was lost in the last moonlight breed book after reading this one.

I love the creativity of this author. I like that she can take something that has been done over and over again and make it her own. It keeps her series interesting and fun to read.

This book is just one example. Yes, we've all read the sexy vampire books, but the added twists, characters, and races of beings is what makes this story so unique. It's a very fun, not angsty, refreshing read. I love Jory's journey through his pain and Stavion's patience and guidance. It's a wonderful opening to thi More...

I can already tell with just one book that I'm going to love this series!!!

A spin off of the Moonlight Breed series, which I like the first 3 books of, but not the most recent ones...and since this one takes place right around books 4 and 5 with overlapping scenes and characters...well, it's just not going to be my favorite book either.

Nice read. I admit sometimes I was lost as I haven't read all the previous series. I still enjoyed the characters and Jory's growth in the story. I loved how everyone came together in the end to fight against the threat to Haven.

Currently a DNF for me. I definitely did not love the writing style. I may come back to this book but I'm not sure.... (Update - went back and finished. Review to come)

I like this "spin off" of the Moonlight Breed serie. I liked how Stavion has the patience to wait and guide his mate Jory out of his horrible past.

TBNT I just don't like this author

enjoy a tad bit more the brac pack
