Curiosity killed the cat, but that never stopped Aurora Seagress. When her boss is whisked off in an ambulance with one last caveat that Aurora must, above all else, stay out of the mysterious coolers. Aurora knows she should heed his directive, but she can’t seem to help herself… Just one peek wouldn’t hurt anything, right? What she finds not only shocks her, but changes her life forever. Staring into the face of two very sexy, very naked men who are frozen in ice, and thawing quickly. Too late she remembered the Professor’s warning to not, under any circumstances, change the temperature on the thermostats. A warning that becomes all too clear as she realizes the mysterious men are not corpses, but powerful vampires who have been imprisoned by the Professor and are now waking, determined to lay claim to Aurora as their mate… I love a good book with a ménage relationship, and Titania Ladley’s Aurora’s Triangle had a great plot with some delicious twists. I enjoyed some very hot scenes with the threesome in this book, and was very intrigued by the vampire world the author created in this book. Several of Titania Ladley’s other novels have already established me as a fan of her work, and I was chomping at the bit to read Aurora’s Triangle. I have to say, though, that I don’t think this is the best example of her talent. While the story line was great and the surprises in the plot were wonderful, I felt that Aurora, Endre and Tabor fell out of character quite often. They often said or did things that did not feel natural for them, but were instead intended to push the story along. The story itself seemed rushed, and perhaps that can be attributed to it’s novella length. Having seen Ladley’s writing talent previously, I have to believe that the biggest problem for this book was its brevity. The story is much too rich, the world it is set in too complicated for it to be well developed in only 80 pages (this was the PDF version.) As it is, I felt as if I had missed quite a bit of story by the time it came to a close. If this book were to be reworked and lengthened, I would be first in line itching to re-read it. The premise is that good, as is Titania Ladley's skill. Her vampire mythos is so intriguing, it has potential to become a series, but I think it would lose momentum if this first book isn’t allowed the opportunity to be fully fleshed out.
