    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    New York Times Bestselling author Jocelynn Drake loves a good story, whether she is reading it or writing one of her own. Over the years, her stories have allowed her to explore space, talk to dragons, dodge bullets with assassins, hang with vampires, and fall in love again and again.

    This former Kentucky girl has moved up, down, and across the U.S. with her husband. Recently, they’ve settled near the Rockies.

    When she is not hammering away at her keyboard or curled up with a book, she can be found walking her dog Ace, or playing video games. She loves Bruce Wayne, Ezio Auditore, travel, tattoos, explosions, and fast cars.

    She is the author of the urban fantasy series: The Dark Days series and the Asylum Tales. She has recently completed a gay romantic suspense series called The Exit Strategy about two assassins falling in love and trying to create a life together, as well as a MM paranormal romance series featuring a family of vampires.

    She has co-authored with Rinda Elliot the following series: Unbreakable Bonds, Ward Security, Pineapple Grove, and the Weavers Circle. She has also co-authored with AJ Sherwood the Scales 'N Spells dragon series. She can be found at JocelynnDrake.com.

    Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

    I write MM, MF, and MMF romances. Love is love! Some are paranormal, contemporary, and space opera. While all of my books are romantic and sexy, most lean toward erotic. But three of these books-Foretold, Forecast, and Foresworn are MF Young Adult novels. A complete trilogy that I'm rereleasing after getting my rights back from Harlequin Teen. Dweller on the Threshold is sexy, but not erotic. I love unusual stories and credit growing up in a family of curious life-lovers who moved all over the country. Books and movies full of fantasy, science fiction and romance kept us amused, especially in some of the stranger places. For years, I tried to separate my darker side with my humorous and romantic one. I published short fiction, but things really started happening when I gave in and mixed it up. When not lost in fiction, I love making wine, collecting music, gaming and spending time with my husband and two children.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Obsessed with this series!

    I love, love, love these two <3
    I needed more of them, and this one lets us into a little bit of life
    after everything settled down and they got used to being together.
    Andrei went back to work and the guys trying to balance spending
    time together. Hilariously they both still try to say its just a casual
    monogamous situation but it's obvious how much they love each other.
    I love that, I rarely get that in a book, where you can feel the love between
    them.... cuz, duh, they aren't real people, but...they sure seem like it!
    I'm invested lol

    We get "firsts" in this one. Lucas meeting Andrei's parents.... which are
    a trip! His mother is hilarious and fits right in with everyone!
    We get their first Thanksgiving together and lots, and lots of steamy
    time !! Yep, even at Ian's thanksgiving LOL

    I love seeing all the guys together, I honestly can't wait for Snow's story
    who I understand is next. I want to prolong this series as much as I can, but
    I'm too anxious to keep it going to stop!
    I love them all! <3
    5 well deserved stars from me!

    This is a series of short stories and one longer one, chronicling the growing relationship between Lucas and Andrei. It's stunningly romantic with substantial doses of hot sexual encounters. Not enough to overtake the stories though.

    Lucas and Andrei had agreed to nothing more between them but monogamous sex. Of course, we all knew what was gonna happen! The stories cover a few holidays from fall to almost Christmas. Andrei deals with the process of coming out and Lucas learns to put his work aside more. The Thanksgiving scene is awesome and pretty funny and humorous, with Snow, Rowe, Mel, Ian and Andrei's parents!

    Fun and sweet and tender, it's a wonderful way to spend more time with the first couple of the series, which is a favorite of mine.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A wonderful addition to the series
    Reviewed in the United States on October 5, 2016
    Verified Purchase
    This collection of novellas is closely tied to Shiver, the first novel in the Unbreakable Bonds series, and delves more deeply into the protagonists from that book. Rather than the taut suspense of the first book, this collection delves into the romantic life of millionaire Lucas Vallois and Romanian bodyguard Andrei Hadeon. Each story is tightly written and offers a bit more of the convoluted but deepening relationship between the two men. Their dynamic is absolutely riveting--and the reader will come away with more insight into other characters in the series as well. Definitely a good read.

    5.0 out of 5 stars So much better than just an epilogue in "Shiver"
    Reviewed in Germany on September 14, 2018
    Verified Purchase
    With the end of „Shiver“ I felt kind of cheated, thinking „Hey, and now?!“ But Drake&Elliott soothed my ruffeled nerve-feathers with this publication right away. I immediately jumped to it after finishing with book 01 of the main storyline and got some of my questions answered and some of my worries eased.

    Those 6 short stories continue the romance part between Lucas and Andrei, finally bringing them from „no strings attached“ to a tender real relationship. Of course Rowe,Snow and Ian butt in as best as they can, so do Andrei's parents. Needless to say, their first Thanksgiving together cooking and celebrating is a source of smiles and laughters. After all the darkness, angst and action I enjoyed watching them all doing „normal“ everyday things and behaving relaxed and easy bantering. It also squeezed my heart tightly, seeing Rowe still so happy with Melissa (being a bit of a clairvoyant because of having read the „Ward Security Series“ before the „Unbreakable Bonds Series“ first).

    „His brother. His warrior. His heart“ says the translation of the Kanji of Lucas's tattoo.The friendship between Lucas, Snow, Rowe and Ian is what makes this series absolutely compelling, and what will definitely keep me reading on!
