The Vampire's Delicious Fae (Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala Book 2) by Michele Notaro


After a scorching chance meeting two years ago, Anton know he has to try again with his viramore Keryth and win the man back to his side. But as they agree to try again, they are surrounded by danger to themselves and their families that they have to fight to protect as their fragile bond grows.


From the The Vampire’s Delicious Fae blurb:

I hate vampires. Well, just one in particular. But I do kinda love how his eyes follow me whenever he’s around… Sigh.


Step One: Find a hot vampire. Check.

Step Two: Get the hot vamp to drink from me. Check.

Step Three: Try to forget his stupid face. Ugh. This one’s impossible to check. F my life. Sigh.

Anton is beyond frustrating. He was so sweet when we first met, and I’d thought we had a real connection. But then he had to ruin everything with his big mouth and jerky face. Ugh.

I can’t get him out of my head. Even when I’m beyond angry at him, I still feel a pull to be near him. A pull I can’t seem to ignore.

And when my entire world gets turned upside-down, I can’t help but reach for the ancient vampire and hope that together, we can conquer anything that’s thrown at us… anything that’s coming for us.

The Vampire’s Delicious Fae is Book 2 of the MM urban fantasy series, Brinnswick: Tales From Gauhala. It follows a new couple in each book with a guaranteed HEA. It takes place in the Brinnswick world in the far away country of Gauhala and brings a whole new cast of characters, so you don’t need to read the other series first. But don't worry, there will absolutely be some cameos along the way.


SNik's review:

Second in series (Brinnswick: Tales from Gauhala), best if read in order. Paranormal urban fantasy. Second chance. Hurt/comfort. Soulmates. Found family. Slow burn. Dual POV. 

A misunderstanding between nature fae Keryth and ancient vampire Anton keeps them apart for two years after a scorching first meeting. As danger surrounds them they agree to slowly build a relationship based on their viramore connection, readily combining their families to create a large loving household. 

These two finally clearing the air and committing to the protection and caring of their family members was such a great read. Notaro’s characters always have such a depth of love and acceptance and ability to demonstrate that love it always makes for a beautiful read. I really enjoyed Anton and Keryth together as they both have strong abilities and senses of good, and would have liked to see more of their individual personalities beyond caretakers as they fell in love. This series is full of cameos and true found families, loyalty, and love.

Wow! A lot happened to these guys throughout the story! And talk about a giant misunderstanding!! I was glad to finally have the mystery of what happened between these two solved, though it didn't stop my frustration with Keryth for repeatedly dodging Anton over the years instead of hearing him out. Anton had the patience of a saint I tell ya. That being said, I do understand how Keryth came to the conclusion he did in the first place based on the optics of the event.

Not only did Anton and Keryth have to navigate their new relationship once their cards were finally on the table, but there were a lot of outside things coming at them as well plot wise. I really felt bad for them because it seemed like they could never catch a break. It was really sweet when they did finally get a moment to spend with just each other during all the chaos. And I do mean chaos. These two have a lot of kids.

Speaking of kids, I have to mention how much Jeb was a favorite during this read. He brought such levity to the story. Even though he was old as dirt he still acted like a teenager sometimes and I think that went a long way to making Keryth and his family feel more comfortable around Anton's family. I do hope based on the author's note that Jeb will be getting his own story eventually. Not only because I want to see such a fun-loving vampire happily mated, but also because I am dying to find out how his new, ah, pets behave in the future. Fingers crossed!
