When Prime (vampire) actor James Wilde meets his bondmate in author Athena Blaise and when he is thwarted in his pursuit of her through the mental channel shared by bondmates, he is going to have to court her in the old fashioned mortal way - well make the the new high tech mortal way, texting and Skype.This was a fun little Prime's connected short that works. (For those who follow the Primes, James is Tobias' brother and appeared in Primal Instinct.) Sizemore holds off on the biting and sex and solidifies the instant connection between bondmates by developing the relationship at a distance, and the 'story' that James tells Athena to begin to prepare her for the truth about vampires also serves as a good intro to the Prime world for readers who are new to Sizemore's series. When the steamy stuff finally happens it is quick and intense and not overly detailed which actually better fits the length of the story.I was happy to have stumbled onto this and I can't wait for the next novel Primal Cravings which features Yakov Piper, one of the Dark Angels.
