Forever Yours by Lexie Davis

[reviews_and_ramblings]

The reader is plunged in the middle of a strange relationship between Brock and Dakota. Brock is a vampire slayer, but he has a secret, he is an half blood vampire; Dakota is a full bloodied vampire that after spending a one night stand with Brock, found out the truth the morning after, when is attempt to kill the man went wrong. After that night, Brock and Dakota have an agreement: they make favors to each other in exchange of sex... it's a strange relationship, as I said, I think that they are at the point that they find fake reasons to go to the other and ask for sex as payment.

But this time no, Brock is really in trouble, he received the order as vampire slayer to kill his own mother. To not bring on the deed, he has to pay off her debts, and Dakota offers the money, but not freely. Dakota is tired of their on / off relationship, he wants Brock all for his own, he wants a life together. It's strange that the one who should be the cool bloodied killer, the vampire, is the one who wants romance and sweet words. But even if Brock fakes reticence, he is till too much ready to accept the last barter.

The relationship between Dakota and Brock is easy, probably due to their past together. The sex is hot but "simple", it's already something steady between them, it doesn't need more; what it's still to be built is the intimacy, the aftermath to the main event. And so the plot is focused more on this.

Forever Yours is only a short story, but it has some interesting turn of events, a thing that I find always a plus. Nor Dakota or Brock are stereotype, the author manages to reverse the situation, making Dakota, the vampire, the hero in search of love and Brock, the human, the disenchanted hero who will find his match.
