Selena Blake: Fangs, Fur and Mistletoe

Christmas reads are fun. I usually read them one year in advance for you (at Christmas though) and expect absolutely nothing of them since they are free and I'm just killing time between various chores connected to this time. So I need a no-brainer which wouldn't let me think and which I wouldn't have problems abandoning at any time when someone needed me in the kitchen or around the house.
That's why this short story from a festive time on a mysterious island where only supernaturals can go was the right choice. Once sworn enemies who couldn't kill each other in a war one hundred years ago and who didn't forget each other though they spent only a brief moment together, a vampiress (is it word already?) and a werewolf, meet on this island where supernaturals go only to scratch an itch.
Will it be like that for them or will they develop some feelings despite being labeled as enemies even in the time of peace, and against the vampiress's coven's prejudiced opinion of werewoles?
The story is short so it doesn't really explain a lot of stuff that happened between vampires and werewolves (which I'd appreciate) but then again, it's not a saga about that. It's a hot read which is supposed to make you feel good because the love at first sight exist.

GENRE: hot romance
FANGS OUT: it's a holiday read, okay?
FANGS RETRACTING: it's not innovative enough and the characters' behaviour needs more background
TOTAL SCORE:
