His Lonely Monster (Shearwater Landing Shorts) by Colette Rivera


A sweet human has a run in with a lonely vampire and finds himself unexpectedly falling. 


From the blurb:

A shy human
A lonely vampire
A fright that turns into a lasting love


The last thing Lucas expects when he sets out to explore a supposedly haunted house is to run into a vampire. He doesn’t believe in paranormal entities, but what else would you call a man with glowing eyes and fangs dripping blood?

Lucas should put the incident behind him, except he can’t get the vampire out of his head. What if he isn’t the only lonely one looking for more in life?

***

SNik's review:

Part of series (Shearwater Landing Shorts), but can be read as a standalone. Short. Paranormal. Dual POV. Heed content warnings. 

When Lucas is rescued by an ancient vampire he doesn’t know what compels him to return and invites Baylor to live with him, but he ends up with a roommate he quickly becomes attracted to. 

This was a very quick story where you do get a little background on each character as their lives collide and they immediately fall into a relationship. It was a cute read, with a bit of spice, and I liked both Baylor and Lucas as characters that unexpectedly find love. I like these small snapshots of supernaturals finding love in the Shearwater Landing universe.


His Lonely Monster is currently available as an e-book
