Roman: An MM Paranormal Romance (Vampire's Mate Book 1) Kindle Edition

4.3 4.3 out of 5 stars 4,673 ratings

Danny Kingman is used to fending for himself. Working nonstop as an ER nurse to pay for his mother’s care, he’s been putting his own life on hold since he can remember. But when an unbelievably hot, strangely intense man saves him from a mugging, Danny has a feeling everything is about to change. Especially when that man suddenly pops out a pair of fangs.

Roman Mourier has been wandering aimlessly for decades, waiting for the inevitable day when the last of his humanity leaves him, and the demon inside him takes permanent control. He doesn’t believe in fated mates, or the myth that there’s a soul out there that could tether his humanity to him. Until he feels a strange pull to the lovely young man at the hospital, and hope stirs in him for the first time.

But Roman has demons other than just the one inside him. Is he strong enough to keep Danny safe from the past that haunts him? He knows one thing for sure: now that he’s found his mate, he will do anything to keep him.

Roman is a heated, fated-mates MM paranormal romance with a HEA and no cliffhanger. It contains insta-obsession, a cinnamon roll of an ER nurse, and the possessive vampire determined to keep him. It also contains steamy scenes between two men, and the moderate violence (and mentions of blood) that one might expect from a vampire romance. Not suitable for readers under 18.

Love how hot this book is.
I have this whole series on audible. I fell in love with it so much my partner bought me all of the Paperback books for our anniversary. Grae Bryan Vampire Mate series made it to my bookshelf! I leave the way Roman takes care of mate when he needed it. I know how that can feel in the one always taken care everybody constantly. And you just needs someone to take care of you for once.

    All the stars for this wonderful book!!

    When I saw that this was a MM vampire romance book I knew I needed ti start it immediately. I was absolutely right to do so. This book was so good!

    Danny was the absolute cutest and sweetest human MC in this book. He was so caring about everyone and took everything that was happening around him like a champ. I absolutely loved him and getting to watch his world change once he met Roman.

    Then we have the hot, possessive, brooding vampire that is Roman. He may have been a brooding man but he was soft for his boy Danny. He was always so open and always communicated with Danny and did what he thought was best to protect him. I loved him too.

    Lucien was unhinged and wild but I cannot wait for him to hopefully get his redemption arc because I feel that he deserves one.

    Soren was an absolute riot. He’s such an amazing friend but also slightly unhinged as well lmao.

    Then we have Danny’s older brother Gabe. He’s a wild card because I never know what’s going to happen with him. Definitely starting his and Soren’s book next

    Roman by Grae Bryan was a fun, unexpectedly sweet, romantic, low-angst story between fated mates - Danny a human ER nurse and Roman, a lonely vampire with a sad past.

    This debut novel is wonderfully paced with an interesting plot and a set of engaging characters from the main leads to the supporting ones. This is written in dual POV which the writer handled deftly. The voices for each POV felt distinct and the personality of Danny and Roman shone through the writing. It was interesting seeing the events through their eyes and read the motivations and the logic that guide their actions.

    Danny and Roman are engaging and such utter darlings! Their instant connection was done so nicely it felt natural and made sense in the context of the story. Danny is such a kind-hearted person and sees the good in everyone but isn't in anyway helpless. He has a spine of steel and has lived independently for a while without losing his sweet nature. Roman has seen so much in the long years he has been alive and has grown cynical, lonely and a little bit lost. Meeting Danny had been the best thing that happened to him. Danny made him feel alive and learn to love life a little bit more.

    Roman and Danny's interactions are so good - from the steamy sex scenes, to the gentle everyday moments and even their tiny disagreements. Roman's possessiveness and obsession and the need to take care of his mate is written pretty well it's so easy to get lost in them. Danny's ability to just love Roman for who he is - so endearing.

    I also loved the supporting characters. They were fun and very fascinating. One can feel the tension between Gabe (Danny's brother) and Soren. I am definitely looking forward to their story in the next book. Also, Lucien! I loved Lucien a lot. Such a poor, tormented soul. I am just happy that he wasn't completely irredeemable. I do want to see more of him.

    Overall, this book has been a pleasant surprise and I highly recommend it to people who love some sweet vampire romance involving fated mates wrapped around a well-paced story with an interesting plot.

    This would be 4.25 stars out of 5 stars.

    This is a cute paranormal vampire story.
    I liked it but wasn't blown away by it.

    Honestly, Danny was the best part. He was cute and often funny.

    The other characters were decent but not all that interesting to me.

    Roman is the vampire and falls hard for Danny fast. All well and good. They are cute together.

    The problem is the story couldn't keep my interest for any length of time. It was slow paced & often boring. The suspense was very subpar. Not exciting or thrilling. Even when it could have been it just never went that way.

    It was relatively well written. I can see how others would really enjoy this. And the intimate scenes between Roman and Danny were hot and sexy. That's when you really felt their connection to each other.

    I seriously doubt I will continue with this series. I need lots of action and suspense. This was mostly just pure romance.

    Roman, a brooding vampire haunted by his past, is reluctantly thrust into a new chapter of his immortal life when he discovers Danny, his fated mate. Danny, a lively and determined human, is the perfect counterbalance to Roman’s stoic and guarded nature. Their dynamic is electric, filled with banter, undeniable chemistry, and emotional depth.The story explores themes of redemption, trust, and the unyielding power of love in the face of darkness. Danny’s resilience and zest for life provide a refreshing lightness, while Roman’s struggle to open himself to vulnerability gives the story its emotional weight.

    Michael Ferraiuolo’s performance is nothing short of stunning. He brings Roman’s brooding, commanding presence to life while infusing Danny’s character with warmth and charm. The way he handles their banter and emotional exchanges is flawless, immersing the listener fully in their journey. Each character has a distinct and memorable voice, making the audiobook a seamless and captivating experience.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Amazing paranormal MM romance!
    Reviewed in Canada on December 27, 2023
    I’ve been loving my exploration into non-contemporary MM romances lately and this book was a fantastic paranormal read! I thoroughly enjoyed this vampire romance and honestly can’t wait to continue with the series. I can’t believe this was the author’s debut novel, I never would have guessed. I even read the bonus chapter which I don’t usually do unless I really don’t want to be done with the characters and their story!

    The story gripped me right from the beginning with the story of Roman’s turning and didn’t let go. Roman was a freaking amazing vampire. I loved how sweet and possessive he was of his human Danny and how he wanted Danny to have everything he wanted.

    Danny was such a fun character! I loved him right from the start. His care and attention for everyone was wonderful and I loved that he finally had someone to take care of him!! I absolutely loved the ending and how we got a bit of action and their epilogue was wonderful! If you are looking for a fun, sexy, paranormal read I highly recommend this book!

    Reviewed in Germany on July 27, 2022
    5/5 stars and it was a debut novel. Loved every second of it.
    I just really enjoyed this story and read it in one sitting.

    Roman and Danny are so sweet together 🥰
    Roman is willing to move the Earth just to give anything Danny desires and keep him happy at all times.
    Danny is such a good guy, sweet and so caring.
    I adore him both so much.
    Their sexy times were very 🥵🫠😌

    I really like Soren’s personality or how he seems to be cause I know there’s more to him than what he shows. I’m very curious to see how he and Gabe are gonna happen.

    Luc was for sure a loose cannon from the beginning but also not. During this story I knew he would do something bad but I always thought he didn’t want to really hurt them permanently and I was right. I was very sad for him. Feeling so lonely during all that time is very hard and I understand why he did what he did. I’m very glad Danny gave him a second chance and see him eventually find his mate.

    I can’t wait to read Soren next!
