Review: Packed Plenty Of Passion

I admit I like free stuff. I also admit I'm not entirely rational in my thought process. For example, I happily hand over my Bouchercon and Left Coast Crime Conference fees and feel like I've won the lottery when I receive a bag filled with books. Seriously, this ends up being one of the major highlights of these conferences. So in my continued pursuit of this high, minus the conference fees, I have decided to scour Amazon for the best free short stories and books available. With that being said, let's get to the review.While ETERNITY EMBRACED packed plenty of passion into 44 pages, which should be enough to satisfy more than a few paranormal romance readers, this story still felt unsatisfying. I had trouble buying Andrea and Kaden's relationship within this tale's boundaries. A few more backstory details might have actually improved this story's momentum and made all that followed a bit more realistic.But, otherwise, it wasn't bad, as the pace and dialogue help up fairly well. And it cost me less than an hour of my time. On the other hand, I won't actively seek out more of this author's work, as I didn't exactly become more endeared toward vampires. Instead of embracing the undead, my first inclination would be to punch the unsuspecting fool and then hightail it out of there.Robert DownsAuthor of Falling Immortality: Casey Holden, Private Investigator
