Synopsis: An arranged marriage between a werewolf and a vampire. There will be blood. She may resist his bite, but she can’t resist his charms…
Werewolf princess Blu Masterson won’t allow her seductive vampire husband to consummate their marriage with his bite, marking her forever. Alone in a secluded estate with her sworn enemy, Blu curses the marriage arranged to bring their rival nations together, especially since Creed Saint-Pierre calls out to her most feral desires.
When Blu uncovers her pack’s secret plot to destroy the vampire nation—and Creed—she is forced to confront her growing feelings for her sexy undead husband. Will she choose the only life she’s ever known or accept his vampire bite?
Review: At first glance Her Vampire Husband seems deceptively simple, boy meets girl, girl hates boy, boy makes girl love him despite all odds. But there is so much more to the story.
The girl is a werewolf, the boy is a vampire and both species are sworn enemies. There is a mini war going on where the devil seems to have taken in interest. An abusive father who doesn’t give a hoot what he does to his daughter, and vampires being forced to kill other vampires by the werewolves. Oh, and let’s through in there a council, and witches. The real story though is the relationship between Blu and Creed.
Blu is not what she seems. Her character changes drastically during the story and she becomes much more thanks to Creed. Creed thinks of himself as an old dog that can’t learn new tricks and yet he too grows and changes thanks to Blu. The relationship is funny, sweet, and sometimes utterly heart breaking.
If you want to lose yourself in a good story with lovable characters that grow and change in front of your eyes then this is the book for you. The dynamics are great and the details the author puts into the story make it worth the read. One of my all time favorite vampire/werewolf romances so far this year.
I’m giving it 4.5 out of 5.
