Karlee Kay: Christmas Bite ~ Golden Vampires of Tuscany Book 2.5

This story is still around the Monteleone family but more about the dark brother that protects the family. Lionel Jett fell in love with Maria Monteleone many years ago so when he sees her again, or well sees Phoebe, a spitting image of Maria, he just wants to make sure she’s protected. A dark and a golden cannot be fated but there is a pull that both feel. Are they able to develop their feelings or is Pheobe’s life going to be in danger? This was a quick read and I’m anxious to see what’ll happen in the next book!

Synopsis:

He is the eldest brother of three orphaned dark vampire waifs, bound by a lifetime vow of service to protect the offspring of the Golden Vampire Monteleone family. This is a debt that Lionel Jett can never discharge.

Phoebe Dominichelli is a nineteen year old virgin, a Golden who has not taken the turning and who appears identical to her ancient great-great-grandmother, Maria Monteleone. Lionel Jett once harbored a secret and platonic love for Maria, who died as a mortal over three centuries ago.

The two vampire races are forbidden to mate, yet Phoebe and Lionel's attraction risks their very souls. In addition, the war brewing between the two species threatens the entire vampire society. When the two worlds collide, who will win out? Will their brief affaire be worth an eternity of damnation? Or, can duty and honor leave room for love or the possibility of a happily ever after?
