The Things We Choose: Vampire Alien Romance (V'loryn Holiday Book 1) Kindle Edition

by Jessica Grayson (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.3 out of 5 stars (54)
When Marek had Anton plan a winter holiday getaway, he never anticipated peppermint. Terran alcoholic drinks don’t have an effect on V’loryns. But peppermint? There’s something about it that makes them lose all of their inhibitions. Trouble is, it’s imperative that Marek and his V’loryn counterparts remain in control at all times. There are many things Terrans don’t know about V’loryns. Secrets that would make Terrans fear them. Turns out, some of the most terrifying ancient Terran myths are rooted in truth. And one small slip-up could ruin everything… This holiday, "slice of life" story is a continuation of the characters in Lost in the Deep End and is for readers who wanted a little more of their favorite couple. Don't start here! Start with Lost in the Deep End.

    Marek is worried about Elizabeth and their bonding ceremony and the blood ritual of the S'acris. Elizbeth is much more delicate than any of their kind. He's afraid of losing control and harming her, but once the mental bonding is in place, it will be that much easier to control and assess what she can take.
    As the days draw closer to Marek and Elizbeth's bonding, Anton, Elizabeth's friend, has an unexpected break up that has them all worried. They all will try and bring a little love, light, and happiness back to Anthon with an unexpected trip.
    With family, friends, and a faraway location, everyone is trying to help Anton with his feelings with the conversation, merriment, and a little surprise, who knew peppermint would unexpectantly cause a few to become drunk.
    Read as friends, family, and secrets become discovered in this beautiful short afternoon read. With great characters, easy reading, and an enjoyable slice of life.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Better than book one of the series.
    Reviewed in the United States on June 22, 2021
    Format: KindleVerified Purchase
    However, this book was still not as compelling and well written as many of her other books. Ms. Grayson's other titles have you on the edge of your seat, waiting with baited breath for whatever happens next. In this book you see signs of action throughout, but no particular follow through. There is a good storyline buried in here, but unfortunately the reader is mostly left unimpressed. I'll give the next book a try in hopes that the series improves. But I would highly recommend other series by this author under her pen name's Jessica Grayson and Aria Winters because they are OUTSTANDING!

    I read this after book one of the V'loryn series. I love these characters and so it was nice to have a story with all them together and see their friendships grow. I love the humor in these books that come from the V'loryns trying to understand the Terran culture and use of phrases. Like being confused that there aren't actually rabbits on the bunny slopes. Lol.

    Sweet and short, bout the others finding out more about the aliens that they are not comfortable. I don’t know but I don’t get their reactions, it seems to me they react as if in 50s or thereabouts instead of the futuristic era they are in. But still enjoyed it.

    Short and sweet, but definitely not lacking in genuine emotion. I cried and laughed, (and almost choked to death in my hot chocolate!) Waiting for the next book is gonna be like torture, but I'm glad I discovered Jessica Grayson books tonight. This author is going on my auto-purchase list!

    Personally an author I've added to my follow list. The plots, character interactions and the way it all moves leaving you on the edge of your seat chanting " just one more chapter and I'll put it down ".
    Well worth your time to check out her skill at story telling.

    5.0 out of 5 stars A sweet story adds to the series!
    Reviewed in the United States on November 26, 2019

    I received an ARC of this book through book funnel from the author. Much of my review contains mild spoilers.

    This short book is an in-between story of Elizabeth, Marek and their friends. I loved seeing more of this group of friends as they supported Anton (Elizabeth's best friend) through his break up. There are a lot of really funny moments that arise from differences in culture. The V'loryn people often can not survive the loss of a mate, so Anton's 'normal' Terran reaction of depression, not eating much, moping around and not taking care of himself is alarming to his V'loryn friends as they fear for his health and life. Misunderstandings about sarcasm lead to some humorous moments. To cheer Anton up the group plans a get away to a snowy mountain cabin celebrating a V'loryn holiday somewhat comparable to Christmas.

    This is a sweet story that furthers the relationship between Elizabeth and Marek but also various friendships (maybe some future romances) within the group. The effect of peppermint on the V'loryn becomes known as an intoxicant which leads to some surprises for the group. I can't wait for more in this series and from the author!

    Reviewed in Canada on February 12, 2021

    This was a sweet holiday story featuring aliens and their human co-workers (some couples who aren’t there yet and an engaged human/alien pair) coming together in a “slice of life” read. To truly appreciate where the story is - you have to read the first instalment, otherwise you’ll be kinda lost.
    While POV goes back and forth between the engaged couple - this doesn’t read very romantically and while they obviously love each other- the main focus is their support of the gay friend who recently had his heart broken.
    It only gets 4 stars because while well written - it read really slow. It didn’t seem like there was enough going on (plot wise) to inspire the quick consumption of a riveting work.
