I don’t remember why I never reviewed this one here, but I’ve definitely read it before, and it’s one of my favorite Sierra short stories. I did the audio this time and Shane East both as the big serious Aussie virgin priest, and as the mischievous vampire Bastien is incredible. I remember how I adored Bastien the first time, but East’s dramatic French-British-adjacent performance takes him to the next level and had me in horny stitches the whole time. Also a vampire x priest/former vampire hunter MM romance in a tropical paradise? That’s so Sierra and so my kryptonite that my only complaint is more please?

This was light and sweet while also being steamy. Just the short and lighthearted romp I was looking for between long ARCs.

I purchased this book after finding it randomly on Amazon. I love Sierra Simone so I assumed I’d enjoy it.
Bastien is a vampire who just wants a vacation so he can enjoy the sunshine, catch up on sleep, drink plenty of wine, and perhaps enjoy some blood if the opportunity arises.
What makes that vacation difficult is the vampire-hunting priest who wants him dead. And who just happens to knock on his door. Bastien is not about to deny that the priest does look good…and he is so very thirsty.
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––
This was such a cute little novella! I definitely enjoyed it and feel like I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, honestly. I wasn’t expecting that, if I’m honest.
The ex-priest is a cute one, that’s for sure. Bastien reminds me quite a bit of Lestat from the Interview of the Vampire series by Anne Rice, which isn’t a bad thing by any means.
He’s very well spoken, which is what reminds me so much of Lestat. I now want to re-read those books as well, which I do have the Kindle versions of. I’ll have to dig those out, for sure.
So yeah, if you like vampire/human sex, go for this one!

This free audiobook, narrated by Shane East was so good and just in time for Halloween! Need this to be a full length book because I would devour it. Sierra Simone is a master of forbidden romance that makes you want more, more, more and this is no exception.
