I read freebies with more openmindedness than I do books I purchase. I rarely review them, simply because I either don't finish them, or I don't care enough one way or the other. Those I do review spark a chord, for better or for worse. Taming the Vampire was definitely for the better.Jack and Liz have known each other for a year and a half or so. They hate each other, just ask them. They are not shy about it, and they certainly don't try to play nice with each other. When it becomes necessary for Liz and Jack to work together, quite intimately, in order to defeat a common enemy, they are wary.Jack is dreamy, a true hero. He seems so stoic, yet so lonely.****SPOILER**** When he wants to pretend that Liz is his while they are working together, oh, I fell for him in a big way****END SPOILERLiz is spunky and so afraid of being seen as weak. She does what she needs to do, whether she is afraid or not. Liz wants Jack, but she is not happy about the possibility of being rejected by him. Remember, they hate each other, right?This is a very quick little novella, but Ms. Hart packs a lot of information into a few pages. Excellent flow, excellent character growth within the confines of the venue. I was very impressed at how quickly I was reeled in and began to care about these two.I will be seeking out the other books in the Blood and Absinthe series, and purchasing them.Bottom line- Time well spent. I liked this so much I am going to buy the other titles in this series.
