The Hunter's Affection

Bloodwite Book, 3

By: C. L. Mecca

Narrated by: James Cavenaugh

Even cursed blood can fall prey to love’s bite.

Stone Haven isn’t Torr Derrickson’s kind of town. Small. Quaint. The kind of place where everyone knows their neighbors’ business.

Torr only came here as an act of brotherly love - to help his brother fulfill a lifelong dream of opening up a bar. The moment that cash drawer accepted its first dollar, Torr planned to be back in a real city, stalking the streets in hopes of more adventurous prey. Unfortunately, his reputation - as a bit of a playboy and, more importantly, a vampire - has already caught the attention of some townspeople, much to his brother’s dismay.

Enter Charlotte Harris.

The English teacher is everything Torr is not. A small-town girl. A rule-follower. And very much a human. She’s the last woman Torr wants in his life...yet the first one to ever set his blood on fire.

Charlotte's attraction to the bad-boy vampire consumes her every waking - and definitely sleeping - moment, distracting her from the redemption that had defined her life up until meeting him. The redemption she wanted for so long is at war with the new awakening in her heart.

Like a budding flower, Charlotte finds herself changing in the company of this pair of blue eyes and fangs.

Forced together, the two opposites must decide between passion and reputation. Love and fear.

Life and death.

The Hunter’s Affection is a steamy contemporary vampire romance with an HEA. Fans of Elizabeth Hunter, Jeaniene Frost, and Lynsay Sands may enjoy this paranormal romance series.

BRILLIANT!!!!

Brilliant… absolutely brilliant! The Hunter's Affection by Cecelia Mecca and narrated by James Cavenaugh is book 3 in the Bloodwite series and oh what a series it is. James’s voice is perfect for this book and so very sexy. I could listen to him all day!! Now who would have thought I would become a diehard PRN fan after years of reading historical romances but I have thanks to Cecelia Mecca. She has created an amazing world of vampires that are over 700 yrs old and adapted them into today world that it almost believable. You can’t help but fall in love with bad boy Torr Derrickson and prim and proper Charlotte O’Neill. The best part of this book and series is that you come to know all of the main characters as each book is written and their story continues as well. This book is so well written that it is almost like watching a movie the descriptions are that good and precise. I could not put this book down in fact once you start reading it you cannot stop and just know this is gong to be an all nighter. Though in a series this book can be read as a standalone but to get the full experience I recommend you read book 1 and 2 in the series, The Vampire’s Temptation and Immortal Salvation. This is a must read and I know you will love this story as much as I have.

***This audiobook was gifted to me and I am voluntarily reviewing.

even better narrated

Torr Derrickson has been an unapologetic playboy for centuries. Prim and proper southern belle Charlotte Harris knows it's in her best interest to stay away from him even before she learns that he's a vampire. Despite the obvious danger, mostly to her heart, she can't resist Torr any more than he can stay away from her. When it becomes apparent that Torr and his family are at risk of being exposed and Stone Haven may no longer be safe for them, Torr has to try to find a way to keep Charlotte with him. After so many years of life he knows that what he has with her is different and he doesn't want to give it up. Charlotte is fiercely independent and wants the ability to protect herself without relying solely on Torr, but her asking for the one thing he won't give her may drive them apart for good.

I'm a sucker for a reformed bad boy and Torr sure made a good one. I tore through this book even faster than the first two and actually I think I liked it even more than those two as well, which is saying something because I really loved them both. This one leaves us with a few loose ends to ponder while we wait for the next book and I can't wait for it. I previously read this book and that narration made it even better. Not to be missed.

I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.

Good Enough

I felt like Torr and Charlotte's meeting was too...deliberate; no real magic or 'sense' of fate. The supposed 'playboy' and the 'repressed' professor - a transplant southern belle. Neither of them fit their roles and so because they themselves felt inauthentic to me so did their romance. Were it not for the fact that I enjoy James Cavenaugh's performance it would have been difficult to finish this.

3.5 Starz - I won't listen again
