Unbridled: A Collection of Short Stories from the Alex Crocker Series (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9780615861111)

"Think Law and Order SUV meets The Breakfast Club" was Ellie's trite explanation of what Alex had been dragged into. Add a few fangs, Fifty Shades of Oversharing, and a dash of Dr. Phil, and she was in for quite a Thursday night. Alex couldn't deny she had become the pint-sized poster child for PTSD lately, but she didn't exactly expect to find a support group for teachers turned vampire chew toys in Bristol, MA. Listening to the tales of the four other females gathered to help her heal, however, she accepts that perhaps both the worst and the best of life can blossom from the unexpected. Unbridled is a novella-length collection of four connected stories focusing on the unlikely friendships and less likely lovers of the female characters from the Alex Crocker series. "Grace and Dignity" Even a female whose mating has been arranged most of her life still thinks about what she wants in a mate. Not one of the qualities Sarah had hoped for were easily evident in her betrothed, the future Regan of the Rectinatti coven. Perhaps, though, there were more layers to Darian than he liked to reveal, but how does a subject unmask a prince? "Rules and Recollections" You can't fall in love with someone you barely recall, but that, Vivian supposed, was the point. After a terse meeting with the Knower, a mind reader, memory manipulator, and the coven's most notorious lecher, Vivian isn't herself. She can't shake the feeling that the solution to her mood lurks just below the surface of her consciousness. Only plunging into darkness, though, will bring everything to light. "Blood and Secrecy" The shared need for blood brought them together, but individual desires for secrecy are keeping them apart. Each already left behind a life of privilege for reasons the other likely couldn't understand. Now both Rocky and Ellie need to decide if they're willing to open up about their pasts in order to ensure a future.
