Bloodthirsty Beloved
by Ella Fields
Why Read This?The one-sentence sell. What do you get for showing up to this book, even when it's hard?
You'll be consumed by the intense angst and addictive tension of two morally gray vampires fighting their way back to each other through a haze of hatred and desire.
Synopsis
Deadly quests blur the line between hate and love in this all-new standalone vampire romantasy. King Brey and Queen Ethel were once in love—until they became husband and wife. While Brey was instantly infatuated upon meeting his betrothed, the arrangement made by her father was an unwelcome surprise for Ethel. Forced to surrender all she knew, Ethel did so reluctantly, and her torn heart broke her husband’s. Now, the two live lazily in a palace too small for their bitter feelings and venomous words. But their reign of indulgence has been costly, and they must finally put their union to good use by replenishing the wards that protect vampirekind. To complete the deadly tasks awaiting them, they will need to cast their hatred aside and work together—or they could lose far more than a chance to salvage their bloodthirsty love. A fantasy romance told in first person with lovers to enemies, second chance romance, banter/bickering, and two very morally grey vampires.
