| Chloe has just had one of the worst days of her life. She lost her promotion, quit her job, ruined her shoes, and if that is not bad enough, she received an all expenses paid trip to Sun Spa, Washburn Hall as a consolation prize for the promotion. For Chloe, returning to Washburn Hall, the place where her entire family died when she was a child, is the last thing she wants to ever do. However, she is unable to fight the pull to go there. When she finds the man of her dreams chained up in the basement at the spa with such pain on his face, she quickly decides to free him and run.
Luka is no ordinary vampire. He is a trueblood. One of the few remaining vampires who can procreate. For this reason he and his family have been in hiding. Unfortunately, his secret has been revealed and he's kidnapped, chained up, and tortured in the hopes of stealing his sperm. When a beautiful woman comes to help him, to save him he finds himself wanting her, longing to make her his. The Consolation Prize is a unique story. It's the story of a young woman with three very determined toys to help her survive and find her true love. It pulled me in from the first page. Luka and Chloe have so many obstacles in their path. At times it seems impossible for them to find a happily ever after, impossible for them to even survive. Where this is definitely not a wine and roses romance, at times it's very violent, with scenes of torture and a scene of rape, it's a love story that will warm your heart and melt your sheets. I would highly recommend this to anyone who loves a great vampire story that is a little on the darker side.
