Black Short Monday #7 ~ A Ghoulish Valentine

Black Short Monday is a feature by Stephanie from Books Paradise. Mondays are definitely black. I thought what could I do to make it better. In the last time I consistently read short stroies, novellas or something along those lines and what lends itself better for reviewing those stories as a black monday? - Right, a black Monday!

Blurb: Dulcie O'Neil can't help her attraction to Knight Vander, much though she tries to fight her feelings. When she begrudgingly accepts his invitation to dinner and a movie, she can't imagine her evening will be derailed by a cemetery full of hungry ghouls and one incredibly sexy man.


My thoughts: I think I have a brand new soft spot for paranormal-romance short stories. Well, A Ghoulish Valentine is a well-written story with a decent helping of thrill and a dash of romance. Knight Vander is more than "incredibly sexy".

Knight Vander is a Loki-a creature forged from the fires of Hades. (...) Knight is in one word-gorgeouscockyfrustratingsexyoverbearing and he's a detective who was sent from the Netherworld to work at our headquarters

By the way Dulcie is a fairy, but not a typical fairy you would think now! I like both characters in the story and it makes me so curious to read more about Knight and Dolcie. And of course there is more to read because A Ghoulish Valentine takes place in the Dulci O'Neil series I added on my wishlist...

If you look for a delightful short read on paranormal-romance which isn't including so much romance this story will be fine.
