Out of Time by Clare London
Publisher: Love You Divine
Genre: M/M Fantasy
Summary: Ambrus travels in space and time, a mature and confident vampire, not looking for any permanent companion. Then in the bloody trenches of WWI, he meets Edward, a beautiful young soldier turned vampire against his will and fighting his fate with bitter anger and resentment. Ambrus is irresistibly drawn to him but Edward rejects him at first. What then follows is a strange, anguished courtship throughout the century, as Ambrus seeks to help Edward find his own way to peace as an immortal, and Edward learns what real love - and a real lover – is.
My Review: This may come as a shocker, but I have never read male/male erotica stories. So, when Clare gave me the chance to read her story and review it, I jumped excitedly at the opportunity.
In a word this book is HAWT, eye opening and very tender.
When we first meet Ambrus, he is walking through the battlefields of WWI and he stumbles upon Edward, a newly born vampire trying to sustain himself. His body reacts to this young man in two ways; one is very sensual but the other is very protective, his need to teach Edward how to slip through time effortlessly and effectively.
The other is his need to hold Edward, tell him that everything will be alright, but when he meets his eyes, he can tell that poor Edward is hurt and angry and not ready to try out his new life, his rebirth.
Each time they meet it is a new era in time, and each time Edward grows closer to Ambrus, but he still holds back. He refuses to believe what he has become, refuses to let go of his human friends and in the end, it is his compassion for humans that draws Ambrus closer to him.
But is it enough?
Even though the story was short, every emotion, every scene Ms. London portrayed was delicately placed before you. As I read her story I felt for each of the men, and I wondered, will they ever give in to their feelings of true love, or will they be destined to roam the earth by themselves, only crossing paths every twenty to thirty years.
In the end I screamed in Triumph as everything Ambrus fought so hard for came to pass and I could feel his heart lighten in total exhilaration. This story is a quick read, not because of the length, but because you will be turning the pages just find out of if Ambrus is really, Out of Time.
Rated 5 Delightful Divas and a Recommended Read by Amanda!
