About this listen
He is the eldest brother of three orphaned dark vampire waifs, bound by a lifetime vow of service to protect the offspring of the Golden Vampire Monteleone family. This is a debt that Lionel Jett can never discharge.
Phoebe Dominichelli is a 19 year old virgin, a Golden who has not taken the turning and who appears identical to her ancient great-great-grandmother, Maria Monteleone. Lionel Jett once harbored a secret and platonic love for Maria, who died as a mortal over three centuries ago.
The two vampire races are forbidden to mate, yet Phoebe and Lionel’s attraction risks their very souls. In addition, the war brewing between the two species threatens the entire vampire society. When the two worlds collide, who will win out? Will their brief affair be worth an eternity of damnation? Or, can duty and honor leave room for love or the possibility of a happily ever after?
Book 3 of the Golden Vampires of Tuscany series. Book 1: Honeymoon Bite, Book 2: Mortal Bite. Book 4 coming Fall 2019.

Story
With just one touch, bread turns into roses. With just one bite, cheese turns into lilies. There’s a famine plaguing the land, and Princess Yzabel is wasting food simply by trying to eat. Before she can even swallow, her magic - her curse - has turned her meal into a bouquet. She’s on the verge of starving, which only reminds her that the people of Portugal have been enduring the same pain for years. If only it were possible to reverse her magic. Fatyan, a beautiful Enchanted Moura, is the only one who can help. But she is trapped by magical binds.

Two years ago, Louise le Blanc fled her coven and took shelter in the city of Cesarine, forsaking all magic and living off whatever she could steal. There, witches like Lou are hunted. They are feared. And they are burned. As a huntsman of the Church, Reid Diggory has lived his life by one principle: Thou shalt not suffer a witch to live. But when Lou pulls a wicked stunt, the two are forced into an impossible situation - marriage. Lou, unable to ignore her growing feelings, yet powerless to change what she is, must make a choice. And love makes fools of us all.

Story
The upheaval in my life began the moment a prince stumbled into my house and asked me to read his fortune. Any other night, I might have made an excuse to get him to leave, but this was no normal visit. My fingers prickled to touch him. So, I granted his request by handing him a single wishbone. When he snapped it, the wish...bled. Hearing me suck in a shocked breath, he asked what it meant. Such an ominous omen could only mean one thing: His death was imminent. Fate revealed that he wouldn’t die of natural causes. Someone wanted him dead.

Golden Vamps
I always love anything by Sharon Hamilton. I read the first two books several years ago and should have reread them before listening to this one. I was a little confused on the back story. I'm also not a fan of books that leave me hanging until the next one comes out. So for me, it wasn't a 5 Star. But saying that, you can never go wrong with a Sharon Hamilton story. Her characters are always interesting and well thought out.
I'm also a big fan of J D Hart as a narrator and he did not disappoint in this audible reading. Thank you for allowing me to review this audible book for free

Lionel and Phoebe!
Lionel takes his oath to keep the Monteleone family safe very seriously especially when it comes Phoebe. From the first time he saw her she reminds him of her great, great grandmother who he loved and lost.
Phoebe is 19 so when she finds out that she is danger and that her parents want her to take a husband. It was supposed to be an arranged marriage until she finds her fated mate so she decides to marry Lionel. The only problem is that she and Lionel have developed feelings for each other but being together could cause widespread devastation.
This is not the end of the story for Lionel and Phoebe however it does end in a happy for now. With everything conspiring against them they have a battle on their hands. I received a complimentary copy of the audiobook and enjoyed the performance of the narrator.
