I at first brought taming the vampire the first novella of the blood and absinthe series for free I liked the love combination of vampires and fairies with a little bit of magic thrown into the mix was great fun to read and couldn’t resist in getting this book bundle of all three blood and absinthe books.  That I will get more books from Ms. Chloe Hart.  Overall I rated the entire set four stars.  Below is what I would of rated the books individually.The first novella taming the vampire I just loved despite it being short and a novella.  The hatefulness yet heated deep seated passion between the green warrior half Fae Liz the heroine and the cold blooded and icy temperamental hero Jack was quite tumultuous.  I could easily imagine both characters in my head and what drove them for the greater good was a fascinating point to both of them.  Their relationship ran cold and hot until the end begging me to want to read more of them that I almost wished the novella was a full length book as opposed to a novella.  There were however hardly any spelling errors in the novella which is wonderful so nothing spoiled my reading enjoyment of the novella and I rated it four stars.The second novella bound by the vampire I thought I would like the story as much as I enjoyed the first one.  Yes, it did bring back Jack, Liz and Celia from the first novella taming the vampire but it was mainly dealing the joining of Celia to Evan.  I did like both Celia the courageous spell caster Fae heroine and Evan the renegade evasive hero but by themselves.  The romance seemed too quick just because of the danger Celia was in and all I could see was just the physical attraction between them not really any strong emotions especially love they would have for each other that I found it hard to be believable that I was glad the story was short.  I still finished the novella and rated it three stars.The last novel claiming the vampire I think was the best out of the three books and brought everyone together.  Jack and Liz from taming the vampire Celia and Evan from bound by the vampire and lastly two minor characters from bound by the vampire Hawk the handsome elusive vampire assassin and Jessica the beautiful demon hunter princess.  Jessica I just seriously loved her spirit not only is she a warrior with the heart and mind of a fighter she hasn’t let her way of life consume her and there is a sort of innocence about her too.  Jessica is also a girl with compassion and loves her friends and lastly Hawk with her whole heart and soul.  Hawk is the total opposite of that and seems bent on destruction but can’t resist Jessica either.  I loved the way they both fought with each other not only mentally the verbal sparring but physically as well.  I at first thought Hawk’s mentality needed to be checked after Jessica kneed him in the groin.  I don’t know of to many men who would fall for a woman after that but still I just loved them together.  Plus, everyone else’s relationships Jack and Liz and Celia and Evan are explained better too.  I really liked reading the sexual tension between Hawk and Jessica more so than the explicit copulations between Jack/Liz and Celia/Evan but I still enjoyed the story that I rated it five stars.
