Frost Bite

De: Virginia Kelly, Lynn Van Dorn

Narrado por: Michael Ferraiuolo

Nick has no direction in his life, as his mother often reminds him. He works paycheck to paycheck, which becomes a problem when the paychecks stop coming in. When he's offered an opportunity to work off his rent, Nick decides there are worse things in life than being a super, especially when the job includes free rent. There is, however, a catch. His landlord is a vampire, and he needs more from Nick than maintenance and renter-wrangling. He needs Nick's blood.

Vladimir has drifted for centuries before finally making Chicago his home. With the help of his trusted servant, Ivan, he has surrounded himself with a camouflage of human tenants and dropped off the supernatural radar. He might be a blood-drinking monster, but he has no taste for the dangerous, and often murderous, politics that surround the local vampire Council. He is a monster alone, and that's exactly how he likes it, but with his human servant retiring, Vladimir needs a replacement. Luckily, Ivan finds a candidate who already lives in the building and is eager to interview for the job.

Nick is a man who needs to find purpose for his life, and Vladimir is a vampire in dire need of a reason to keep existing. They start to find what they seek within each other, and the future looks bright indeed, even for a creature of the night. Then catastrophe strikes, and Vladimir finds that after centuries of hiding, he finally has something worth fighting for.

Frost Bite is a light-hearted MM fantasy romance which contains a worn-down young man, a world-weary vampire, blood-sucking Nazi fiends, an unscrupulous blood Sommelier, unsupportive relatives, an extremely large bathtub inside a bat cave, a Russian human servant not to be trifled with, a snuggly bat, and plenty of heart. Stake not included.

Note: this was originally a free short available for free in 2021. It has since been revised, rewritten, and significantly lengthened.

Warm and Endearing

Nick and Vlad were inevitable after the first time Vlad fed from Nick. Nick craves Vlad feeding but Vlad is afraid he will drain Nick. This is a fun listen with a wonderful narrator who makes the characters come alive. Credit worthy but is also whisper synced.

Narrator

Great story, believable and common sense, which tends to not be the case for, unfortunately, a lot of these, basically this does not seem to have been written by a thirteen year old girl as fan fiction.😍. And the best part of course is Michael F. Quite literally one of my top two favorite narrators……and I’m sorry Kirt graves, Michael may actually be my favorite narrator!!! lol overall and bottom line great story definitely worth a credit!!!
