3-3.5 starsThis was a good story. I liked the characters and the story was well done for as short as it was.This story is about Adrian and Eliza. Adrian is a vampire. He was in Ireland when he met Eliza, who was dying of an illness. Adrian can't stand the thought of her dying and offers to make her his "consort" (a servant that lives without aging and takes care of the vampire's home and such). It's not considered advisable to have a relationship with your consort and although Adrian has gained feelings for Eliza over the last 200 years she's served him, he's never told her. Eliza has fallen deeply for Adrian as well but it hurts very much to have to watch him bring home other women to feed on and have sex with. She tries to have a normal relationship with a human named John but breaks it off soon in to the story because it wasn't fair to John that she was with him but loved Adrian. Eliza finds herself at an impasse because she can't stand to stay with Adrian any longer but it saddens her. He birthday is coming up and she figures it's a good time to ask Adrian to release her from being his consort. Adrian thinks that she's upset because of the breakup with John and does something stupid trying to make her happy. I had a real WTF!!! moment during the story but fortunately things worked out well in the end for Adrian and Eliza (partially because of John) and the story ends nicely with a HEA for Adrian and Eliza. Overall, I enjoyed this story (outside of the WTF moment). :)* note - I listened to the audio version of this story. The narrator did a pretty good job.
