Breaking the rules has never been Wesley’s way…until he meets Mino.
Rule Number Two that the Thorn brothers live by is that employees of the ranch are off-limits. Wesley has always followed that rule, never stepping out of his comfort zone to do more than talk to one of the cowhands that help run his family’s ranch. Being a vampire makes it easier, since he doesn’t go out during the day.
Mino’s been interested in the youngest Thorn brother since he began working at The Blood & Thorn Ranch. It’s those stupid rules that hold him back from making the first move. Well, those and the fact that Wesley could kill him in a blink of his eye. Being human in a world of supernatural creatures makes living difficult, since he’s considered prey.
These two males, from different species and societies, must find a way to meet in the middle of their worlds if they have a chance at love.
A very interesting
take on vampires, shifters and humans; T.A. Chase delivered an enigma of characters that left me with more questions
than answers. Bulls and Blood is the
first book in the new vampire-cowboys series, The Blood and Thorn Ranch. Six vampire brothers—by choice— the men
run the ranch; one where rules are to be adhered to and if they’re not, the
punishment is swift and deadly.
Wesley, the youngest Thorn
is the most rules conscious and slightly introverted. Never truly mingling with
the help—those he considers beneath him—he is the behind the scenes brother,
yet the most deadly.
Mino is a human ranch
hand and has had his eyes on Wesley for some time-which breaks rule number two.
Ms.
Chase’s spin on the vampires was ingenious and
refreshing. The brothers were holier than though creatures that looked at
everyone—shifters included—as subpar. This attitude resonated throughout
the story and Ms. Chase’s writing.
Although the Thorn brothers took care of their own, the callousness in which
they regarded others blurred the lines of my like and dislike for them. I never
truly connected with the characters yet I felt Ms. Chase hit the mark in creating a new world.
Wesley was deadly and
overbearing and Mino bold, for a human, especially in a world where I gathered
humans are considered mere fodder.
If Ms. Chase’s idea was to keep us
guessing and coming back for more, then sign this reader up. The author peeked
my curiosity with many more unanswered questions and the need to know about
each brother and this new spin on the vampire world.
Kudos to T.A. Chase for developing and delivering
something totally different. An HEA with room to grow, Bulls and Blood ended abruptly with the knowledge I’ll be back for
book number two.
