Description
Pierce
My death day is sacred. I spend it the same way I wish I could spend every day: alone in my isolated cabin, with a glass of wine in one hand and a book in the other. But when the scent of human blood shatters my solitude, I find James—unflappable, undeniably gorgeous, and utterly unafraid of me. He makes my blood boil and he stirs desires dormant for over a century. I must protect him, even if it costs me everything.
James
In the wake of my father’s passing, I go to our secluded camping spot in the mountains to scatter his ashes. It’s almost a full day’s hike from civilization and I expected to grieve alone. I never dreamed I’d get stranded by a freak snowstorm or that I’d be attacked by wolves. I certainly never imagined I’d meet someone like Pierce, the grumpy, overprotective, and annoyingly handsome vampire who saves my life. Now, snowed in and surrounded on all sides by the werewolves determined to turn me into one of them, my only protection is the vampire I’m inexplicably falling in love with.
***Snowed in with the Vampire Prince is a 36,000-word fated mates novella with an HEA, instalove, a fair amount of hurt/comfort, and no cliffhanger. This is book 1 in the Blood Bonded Mates series. This book contains mild violence, strong language, spicy scenes between men, and passages depicting consensual blood drinking, as one might expect from a MM vampire romance.
This book is intended for mature audiences.

The Narrator:
I think it was my first time listening to Richard Pendragon and honestly it was a bit challenging. I started listening to it at my usual speed which is 2,4x but something felt off so I lowered it down to 1,9x. Yet it didn’t solve the problem because I realised what was bothering me was the narrating cadence. I found it so off and thus reducing my enjoyment of the book. It is a shame because otherwise I did like Pendragon’s character voices.
The Story:
– Info dumps in the beginning
– it felt like it was the blood bond that forced the actual connection/love: we when from “He intrigued me” to “He’s the love of my life” once the bond is there.
– Too much drama which added action but at the same time rushed the story.
But I still want to readthe next book. It’s almost 3x the size of this novella so I’m expecting more depths and character developments.
