Review: This wasn't really to my taste - SPOILERS below

I received a complimentary copy of this book in order to review it and I maybe could have given it 2.5 stars as I didn't exactly hate it but I didn't like it either.This is a short story rather than a novella which, personally, isn't to my taste because there isn't enough character development to get into it. For me, the characters seemed somewhat flat and unbelievable. Liam made Elise a vampire (for a century only) and left her immediately after changing her with a "I'll be back...someday". This is at odds with Liam claiming throughout the story that he loved her. Then after 99 years and 364 days Liam comes back into Elise's life and refuses to complete the turning by giving her his "eternal kiss" because she found love with a mortal guy. I like my heroes to be an alpha personality and Liam fell short with his "loneliness is my only friend" and "I'm doing this because I love you" dribble. His inability to claim what he loved for himself makes him fall short for me. I also like happy endings (which is why I read ROMANCE) and I didn't get it with this. I'm glad it was free because I would have been annoyed to pay $0.99 for this as well as the 30 minutes it took me to read it.
