Six years ago Gabriel Forrester gave his life--literally--for Marina DeMornay, choosing to become a vampire to be with her. Then Marina was compelled to become mistress to a vampire prince...and Gabriel disappeared when she needed him the most.
But when Marina's consort is killed and she's captured, Gabriel is sent by the Vampire High Council to rescue her...and they become bound together even more strongly than before. With their enemies still on the loose, can Marina and Gabriel put the past behind them long enough to save both vampires and humanity from their enemies "and" reclaim the passion they once shared?

Why I read: Author asked for review.
Favorite Quote: Vane’s mouth tipped up in a sneer in response, making him look a lot like a Billy Idol on steroids.
Vampire Gabriel Forrester is on a mission from the High Council to track down missing vampire Marina DeMornay. She is being held captive by the vampire hunters, deep underground the city of Palermo. Gabe and Marina have quite a history – they were in love, but Marina, being the descendent of an ancient family, had to choose duty over love. Even though Gabe turns into a vampire, hoping that would seal his fate with her, she still chooses to marry Niccolo, at one time Gabe’s best friend who turns out to be a very cold-hearted person. Now he is dead, and she is at the hands of very evil people. The council, afraid she may give secrets under severe distress, sends Gabe to go get her.
Marina is weak, but no fool. Once she is convinced Gabe is not working for Nick’s people, she still has no desire to go in front of the High Council. But she needs help escaping, barely able to walk on her own. She figures Gabe can bust her out, and then she can find a place where neither Nick’s men nor the High Council will bother her. But, being together brings back past feelings on both sides. When they break out, Marina informs Gabe of a secret – and the adventure begins.
A Vampire’s Mistress packs a lot of punch in such a short story. We not only have a romance between Gabe and Marina, but substantial back story and some great action. I would have liked to see a little more spark between Gabe and Marina after they are finally able to be together. It takes Marina time to trust Gabe, even though she is the one that left him to begin with and it would have been nice to see her a little more excited to have Gabe in her life. That being said, the sex scene is hot, and the confrontation with the villain plays out well. Vane, a cohort of Nick’s shows up and adds an extra spice to the villain role.
If you are in the mood for a quick, paranormal romance, this one is for you.
Rating: 3.5/5

Well written but still a little confusing with all of the vampire lingo... And the steam wasn't much, sadly, so that was disappointing. 😞😅 But the story was still pretty good, overall.

Gabriel - a vampire high guard, fell in love with Marina... but Marina was being forced to become consort to royal Nick... her family threatened to behead her & kill Gabriel if she did not comply... Gabriel, not knowing this, became full vampire and offered himself to her, but she said no - and for 6 years, he suffered - but became guard to the High Council...
and Nick is dead, Marina imprisoned - sold, and being drained of her ichor (vampire blood) and being fed with deadman's blood - poison... and Gabriel is sent by the High Council... Some are imprisoning vampires, taking their ichor, and illegally selling it as a healing agent to humans...
Gabe & Marina still love one another - explanations are offered as they are being chased... Nick in fact is not dead, and is making plans to take over the world... Nick brings Gabe & Marina to him... there is a fight - Nick is dead (though not his sidekick Vane)... and Gabe & Marina go to his home, and confess their love, and make love... ahhhh....
