3.5-4 starsThis was a pretty good story. It was short but long enough that I came to like Ethan and Brianna and enjoyed their story. This is the first story I've read by this author and I'm inclined to try more of her work in the future.Brianna is dying from a rare blood disease and doesn't have long to live. She doesn't realize there's a totally different reason for her illness but subconsciously she knows and in her dreams she reaches out for her vampire mate as she's weakening and feels evil stalking her.Ethan is a 500 year old vampire. He's given up on finding a mate as most vampires find their mates hundreds of years earlier than he. He fights the fallen vampires (ones that have turned evil and kill humans) along with his 3 brothers that also haven't found their mates. He's shocked when he awakens to the call of his mate but knows he has to get to her right away.Ethan finds Brianna just in time, as a fallen vampire is stalking her, intending to kill her. He kills the fallen but Brianna sees and is rather freaked by seeing 2 vampires fighting and Ethan performing magic. She feels an attraction to him though and can't help but feel that he wont hurt her. Ethan is unused to dealing with human women and has some difficulties at first knowing how to handle Brianna. Fortunately, the attraction between them makes it easier for her to accept him. When he explains she's his mate and she's not dying of a disease but actually needs to mate with him she figures it's better than dying and she's attracted to him so she's willing to give him a chance.Brianna is too weak to deal with the mating immediately so Ethan has to hold back and spends days bringing her back to health so she'll be strong enough to survive their mating. During this time, they meet each other's family and get to know each other, falling in love with each other as the bond between them grows. After she's stronger, they go to the vampire headquarters and take part in the "official" mating ceremony (which includes some hot sex to seal the bond). Once the ceremony is complete they start their HEA.I enjoyed this story and liked the characters. I will admit that I wish it was a little longer but regardless of the length, it was a sweet and hot story. I really liked the characters and liked seeing Brianna and Ethan get together. I'll probably read further in the series to see Ethan's brothers find their mates. I'd recommend this story. :D
