Guild Hunter #7.3
A Sip of Eternity
Short story in the October Newsletter:
Author’s Note: This short story began life as a scene in an early draft of Archangel’s Shadows. It focuses on Dmitri & Honor, so there are no spoilers for the Archangel’s Shadows storyline (however, if you haven’t yet read Archangel’s Blade (Honor and Dmitri’s story), then save this to read later). I hope you enjoy!

About the author
Nalini Singh
214 books26.7k followersI've been writing as long as I can remember and all of my stories always held a thread of romance (even when I was writing about a prince who could shoot lasers out of his eyes). I love creating unique characters, love giving them happy endings and I even love the voices in my head. There's no other job I would rather be doing. In September 2002, when I got the call that Silhouette Desire wanted to buy my first book, Desert Warrior, it was a dream come true. I hope to continue living the dream until I keel over of old age on my keyboard.
I was born in Fiji and raised in New Zealand. I also spent three years living and working in Japan, during which time I took the chance to travel around Asia. I’m back in New Zealand now, but I’m always plotting new trips. If you’d like to see some of my travel snapshots, have a look at the Travel Diary page (updated every month).
So far, I've worked as a lawyer, a librarian, a candy factory general hand, a bank temp and an English teacher and not necessarily in that order. Some might call that inconsistency but I call it grist for the writer's mill.

Scorching hot without being explicit. Usually I don't find Nalini Singh's sex scenes sexy and just skim through them. In fact her continued use of the same euphemisms time and again has become a favourite joke in my buddy read group. But this was pretty damn good. And it comes to prove that sometimes less is more.

Aww that made me want to reread the Guild Hunter books all over again! I never expected to love Dmitri as much as I do but his and Honor's story was irresistible and this was a great little glimpse into their life as a couple now.
Fab addition to the series :-)

Wow! That was hot! A look into Dmitri and Honor.

Un corto capítulo de Dimitri y Honor, donde los vemos alimentándose mutuamente. Nada complicado, solo un par de diálogos sencillos que nos muestran el amor que existe entre esos dos y el poder que tiene Dimitri en su sangre.

Set right before Archangel's Shadows, this Honor/Dimitri short story is a short scene introducing the new Honor.

Dmitri is one dangerously, sexy vampire!!

To be honest: I'm not all the interested in Dmitri & Honor's stories/povs. I find that one book was enough... They have, you know, reached all the can reach, in the relationship and in life? I feel like we can't learn anything more from them, cause they have reached their potential. They are at their fullest...

Historia corta de Dmitri y Honor.
Escasos párrafos pero suficientes para recordar su historia y lo bellos que son juntos. 🥰

I'm very fickle when it's comes to my favourite Guild Hunter couple but let's just say that today it's Dmitri and Honor and I love getting any kind of glimpse at the two of them together. This is so short it can be barely called a glimpse but it captures the two of them perfectly.

“It was always you. It will always be you. “
Aaaawwww I am a sucker for romance and I am not ashamed of it!
Fictional men written by women. Do I need to say more?

A sweet vignette between Dmitri and Honor after they have been together a little while.

Another good little read. I have to say this one was a little bit steamy but wasn’t as graphic as some of the early books which I actually preferred as I did get to a point in the books where some of the scenes got a bit repetitive.

If not a fan of Honor & Dimitri - skippable.

A short story from the Guildhunter series, this reminds me why I didn’t continue it beyond book 2 - erotica/romance just isn’t my thing.
A vampire couple get it on. Moving on…

I just love Dmitri and Honor and this little glimpse into their world was just fantastic!
Although short, this story exudes the sexuality of Dmitri and the love he has for Honor and her love for him. It also showed the dynamic of their lives and what actually being together forever really means to both as husband to wife, master to consort, and lover to lover.
I just sigh with pleasure from reading this story of the vampires and definitely will be reading it again, possibly after writing this review!

A SIP OF ETERNITY is one of the free vignette that Singh provides for fans of her Guild Hunter series. This short scene features Dmitri and Honor from ARCHANGEL'S BLADE. This is a very sexy scene between the two and shows them in peaceful times. I enjoyed this vignette because I really like Dmitri and Honor and want to read more about them.

I would really like to know how Honor came back for Dimitri after a thousand years.

Dmitri a Honor. Ty dva mám ráda, well, Dmitriho mám ráději, pro jeho charakter a rozhodnutí, která dělá. A Sip of Eternity bylo roztomilé, temné a miloučké. Upírské a sexy. :D
Nejspíše bych měla přestat ty jednohubky od Singh číst, jak nad tím tak přemýšlím. :D

“It was always you. It will always be you.”
A short glimpse into the relationship between Honor and Dimitri that makes their affection for each other even more obvious.
Adorable.
Sexy.
Would love to read more.

"I don't care what anyone says, I still love 'em (her)." Kanye West That is the first and last time I will ever quote Kanye, that's how good Nalini Singh is.

A little peak-in with Dimitri and Honor. Should be read after Archangel's Blade so no spoilers.
Spicy and sweet moment in a busy day. Reminded me while I adore this pair.

Hot Hot Hot Hot !!!!!!!!!!
Dimitri has always been one of my favorite characters in the series mainly due to the consistency with which the author has portrayed him.
Every novel he is sex on a stick and every character male/female has been drawn to this conclusion.
I ship him and honor and wish to read more of their developments especially as she is a newly born vampire without a 100 year contract !

A very very short story about Dmitri and Honor.
I just love these two.
Honor went to joke about him getting tired of her, but something made her stop. Perhaps it was the knowledge that the wound was still fresh.
He’d lived a thousand years without her, and he had loved her through all of it.
I adore those lines from the story.

Honor is a newly made vampire. Dimitri lets her feed from him, but only a little as she gets drunk off his power. He's over 1000 years old, he can't rally feed from Honor without taking her strength so he drinks bottled blood.
