This is the third book in the 'they bite' series and like the previous books, it features a relationship between a vampire and a shifter. In this case, we have Samuel a vampire over a hundred years old and Rudy, a Coyote shifter in his thirties.
As vampires go, Samuel is a particularly grumpy one. Even so, there is something that is almost innocent about him when it comes to relationships. He has had a number of bad experiences over his long life and although it has led him to become the hardened warrior that he is, when he meets Rudy a softer and more vulnerable side to him comes out. Some of the story is told via flashbacks to both Rudy and Samuels youth and we find out more about what has shaped both of their characters.
I enjoyed seeing the unfolding relationship between them. From the start, Rudy is convinced that Samuel is his, but it takes Samuel much longer to come around. After all that he has been through, he's not convinced that he deserves the kind of relationship and happiness that Rudy is offering him.
This third book is another great read and one that I really enjoyed.
I received a complimentary copy of this book through NetGalley. Opinions expressed in this review are completely my own.

This had me hooked from the start. Rudy was lovable and his tenacity was endearing. Samuel was mean and hard and not overly likeable but once you started to read his history you understood why he was like he was and he grows on you. Although there was some pretty dark topics included it was lightened by Rudy’s personality even though he had some tragedy in his life too. The unlikely pairing of these two made it more interesting and the acceptance from their friends and family made it heartwarming.
Thank you to NetGalley and the publisher for a copy of this eARC in exchange for an honest review
