The Vampire's Shared Bride

A Vampire Menage Romance

By: Bonnie Burrows

Narrated by: Joan Dukore

Vampires Valad and Michael control the town, and every 10 years, they pick a fertile woman from the village to be wedded to them as part of a tradition that dates back to over a century.

No one knows what happens to the women once they are chosen and, quite frankly, no one wants to know. The simple fact is they are never seen again.

When curvy Siona discovers that her newly engaged best friend is the next girl to have been selected, she does what no woman has ever done before. Siona volunteers herself to be chosen and to take her friends place.

Now she is about to enter the unknown with no idea if she will ever return.

When Siona volunteered to become the vampires' shared bride, she had absolutely no idea of what was to happen.

And there is nothing in this world that could have prepared her for what actually did happen.

LOVELY

I really enjoyed it. I want more characters. I want more stories. it was easy to follow.

Narrator could have been better

The Narrator Joan Dukore's attempt at changing her voice could have been a lot better. It made the story less interesting and just boring. I think the story would be better with a different Narrator.

A great combination of spicy and sweet...........

The Vampire's Shared Bride is a menage story, so it obviously has plenty of spicy parts. However, this story also a sweet side as the passion and love grow between the three people in the menage. The author does a good, if basic, job of world building, and she keeps the story interesting by adding in some dragons with her vampires. I really enjoyed the deep friendship between Michael and Valad, and how each brought something different and valuable to their relationship with Sonia. Her character was the perfect blend of sweet and loving with strong and determined. I admired her courage in sacrificing herself to save her best friend as she goes into an unknown future that has always haunted her nightmares. Mixing in some some drama between Michael, Valad and Sonia as well as some good action scenes with their nemeses, the dragons, The Vampire's Shared Bride is a fun and exciting audiobook.

Joan Dukore's narration is wonderful. Although I wasn't sure at first if I would enjoy it because her voice is a little nasally, I am really glad that I kept listening. Dukore's delivery is smooth and flawless, she differentiates well between characters, and she employs the right emotion level for the varying scenes in the book. I would definitely listen to another of her audiobook narrations in the future.

I received a copy of this audiobook at my request in exchange for this honest review.

Story with potential

This was my first Bonnie Burrows's book. I love vampires, and this story has potential, but unfortunately, it didn't keep my attention. Maybe it's because of the characters, the storyline, or both. Joan Dukore did a good narration. I received this free review copy audiobook at my request and I have voluntarily written this review.

Too short

The story has potential to be longer and more involved. Large stretches of time are skipped. The vampires’ reaction to a major revelation is entirely skipped. A premonition is never even eventually seen/addressed. This could have been a longer, fuller story. If it had been I would have given it more stars. It just feels like much of the story is missing.
