Publisher Description
Laurent Boudreaux, London's Darling and most eligible bachelor in Town, should be down in the ballroom entertaining all the guests that have come to Greyside Manor to gain his favor and, perhaps, his affection. Instead, he's hidden himself in the library to sulk the night away. Very impetuous behavior for a proper gentleman. Even worse for a vampire charged with the simple task of attracting dinner for his coven.
Due to his immense fortune, obvious good looks, and charming personality, Laurent's gained quite a coterie of admirers, and with his popularity growing more and more every day, the meals are never in short supply. Unfortunately, his new duty for the coven has caused some of his favorite pastimes -- flirting, bedding lovers, irritating people, to name a few -- lose their excitement. Laurent is bored. And boredom always leads to trouble.
Tonight Laurent's solitude and pouting is interrupted by a young man who stumbles into the library, disheveled and exhausted and definitely not supposed to be there. And he happens to be everything Laurent's ever fancied.
Seth Faolian has had a rough night, and ending up in the Marquis de Castelnau's library isn't the way he expected to end it. All he wanted was a place to hide while he recovered from tonight's full moon. Being a cursed werewolf is hard enough. Finding himself face-to-face with a vampire is even worse. But Laurent Boudreaux isn't like other noblemen. He isn't even like other vampires, and Seth finds himself strangely intrigued by his unexpected host.
Although typically enemies, the spark that ignites between this vampire and werewolf sends them both on a journey that spans across more than a century.

ENTERTAINING!
1847, London, Greyside Manor, Laurent Boudreaux, Marquis de Castlenau, is quite bored with the extravagant gathering for his small coven. Being wealthy he also attracts the very high class. The rumors fly about Laurent, as he really enjoys being in the company of the more normal people where he can flirt and be a naughty vampire.
As he’s secluded himself to his library and thinks about his precious garden, his thoughts are interrupted. A disheveled man stumbles into his library. Laurent’s charisma opens a conversation between him and the appealing visitor, Seth Faolian. Laurent finds that Seth is a lone cursed wolf, that has no where to go. He opens his home to Seth, feeds him and has a proposal for him.
Will Laurent’s offer be accepted? Will their feelings and hearts become entangled?
K. S. Murphy creates a charming Victorian era, short tale about a vampire and a shifter werewolf. The story is very well written and really brings out the personalities of these two “monsters” that are both needing something special. I like that the author presents a very detailed discussion between Seth and Laurent and it’s not an “insta-love”. They both have a chance to express their situations and feelings. Laurent will go into how he was sired and by whom. Seth will tell of his curse and how lonely it is for him being a shifter.
There’s also lot’s of banter and snark that brings a sweet humor to this romantic and steamy tale. Now, in the Victorian era, it’s well known that vampires and werewolves do not a match make, but the author has a way of bringing a vampire and werewolf together that’s fun and wonderful.
I totally enjoyed “The Full Moon Chronicles Book 1: 1847” by K. S. Murphy. As this is the first book, I hope, the author will continue with the Chronicles of Laurent and Seth. It’s just enough of a teaser to have me curious about what happens next!
