As far as short stories go, this pretty much hits the perfect mark.  At well under 100 pages, it's amazing how quickly Ms Eden was able to build character background, smoking chemistry, fun side characters, a villain and an actual plot.  I have to say I was beyond impressed.Werewolves and vampires have long been enemies, but when hordes of powerful demons begin escaping from hell to over power both their species, alpha werewolf, Jace Vaughn, takes matters into his own hands.  He realizes that with the power of vampire blood in his system, he could gain greater power and immortality to fight the coming battle.  It's not just any vampire blood that he needs however, but the blood from a pureblood natural born vampire princess, so he offers the vampire council an alliance in exchange for such a mate to work together to fight off the demons.  The vampires accept his proposal and send him Morgan LaBeaux, the one vampire that he's been in love with and watching over for the past 10 years.  Although Morgan has never met him before and is scared out of her wits, her attraction to him is instantaneous and the mating is delightfully surprising to both.  Now that these two have the additional power from one another's blood, they must work together with their clans to fight the demons and close the portal to hell, with some twists and turns in the process.This was such a fast and fun read.  I really enjoyed the story and was only disappointed when it ended.  Morgan and Jace were fantastic, but even more so, the dialogue and wit was a lot of fun from the supporting characters as well.  For such a fast read, you don't question the chemistry or relationship building.  It's something that simply is and manages to be steamy and tender at the same time.  You simply cannot go wrong for 99 cents.
