Thick-skinned vampire assassin meets smart-mouthed druid archer. Run, Cupid, run.
Shane Hewitt has been many things—failed husband, supernatural punching bag, and now a bitch to the vampire council of New York City. He thought killing rogue vampires was the hardest thing he’d ever do. Until a hot redhead smashes into him, shouts orders and announces she’s saving his life.
The sole female warrior in a family of druids, Siobhan O’Malley knows how to take care of herself and protect the big city from beasties who breach gateways from the fae realm. The last thing she needs is a misguided, leather-clad hottie’s help to get the job done.
Except maybe he’s exactly what she needs. Siobhan is expected to be a willing, virginal sacrifice on her twenty-fifth birthday. Sex with Shane to stay alive? If he can pull his foot out of his mouth long enough and stop driving her crazy, no problem.
Now if only the bad guys would leave them alone long enough to get the deed done.
My thoughts:
Shane is out hunting vampires when he meets a hot woman who is running for her life. Now who can say no to that?
As it's a short novella, about 70 pages, there is not much to say. They meet, they fight monsters and her family. Her messed up family who wants to sacrifice her, a virginal sacrifice, well there is one way to solve that problem ;)
Shane is cool, Siobhan is kick-ass. They make a great team and I think that they can be fun together. I would sure like to read more, they could have some action filled and hot adventures for sure.

Discussion Point
I will ask this again tomorrow so I can get as many opinions as needed.
I have posted the Lady Scoundrels thing now for a few weeks. The questions is:
* Do you like that there are 3 reviews of the same book?
* Or should we just have one discussion post / or 3 short reviews in one? (with links to longer reviews if there are, goodreads for example)
Thanks!
Sounds like a fun novella! Gotta love a kick-ass heroine:)

ReplyDeleteAbout Lady Scoundrels, I like the way you are doing it now, with three seperate posts. But if you want to wrap it up quicker, then one post with all three reviews and links to the full reviews would be nice too I think.
