Witches and Vampires live together in Chapmistres View. Ben has recently moved to town. He’s running away from a cruel, abusive ex-boyfriend, Ian, who happens to also be a vampire. Ben has changed his name and appearance. He doesn’t want to start a relationship, especially not with another vampire. But Adam is persistent because after two thousand years, he’s finally found his mate. Ben's co-workers and friends help Adam through his relationship with Ben and soon they become a couple.
The evil ex-boyfriend, Ian, eventually finds Ben and kidnaps him. This is where the violence comes in after Adam finds what happens to Ben. Despite this section, the story carries a predominately fluffy feel to it.
I liked the way the author kept aspects of the original Vampire lore. They can’t come into homes unless expressly invited, nor can they stand sunlight. They also only drink, and don’t eat. There is mpreg in this story and I like that the male Healers could get pregnant. I also like the magical abilities of the Healers, not just for healing, but for things like removing clothes. I also like the author’s version of bonding.
There are a couple things that bothered me. First, I think the story could have benefited with more contractions. Because contractions weren’t used as often they needed to be, the story was stilted and didn’t flow as smoothly as I think it could have. The other was the head-hopping. There was a lot of head hopping. The pov was one person’s for a short while and then suddenly switch to another’s pov and then someone else’s pov. Head-hopping is one of my pet peeves in writing, so I didn’t enjoy it happening here.
Other than those issues I mentioned, I enjoyed this. It’s a fluffy, feel good story that left me feeling happy at the end. I would enjoy reading a future story between Jackson the Eldest Vampire, and his mate Casey, who is a Healer. Casey doesn’t know he’s Jackson’s mate. The two get in arguments constantly and it’s breaking Jackson’s heart because all he wants, is to be with Casey.
This story was a sweet, fluffy read and I give it 3 Stars
