Autonomy is a short story of less than twenty pages that can be read alone or connected to the second book in the Night Warriors series. The main characters are Warriors who start training early to hunt the beasts, or what we know as vampires. Erin has reached adulthood and is now allowed to formally mate – exercise her autonomy. She is anything but subtle in her seduction of her chosen mate: Curt. Their families give blessing as the couple depart to mate formally. Erin is nervous and shy but knows she has chosen well. Curt is more experienced but obviously wanting Erin just as much as she wants him. The sex is hot as Curt teaches Erin everything he knows, and she laps up the knowledge. The ending is a surprise that stopped this short becoming a 5 Angel review, but I gather will be fully explained in the Night Warriors series.

I enjoyed this short story by Ms Lyons who writes flowing prose that is easy to read. The story is sensual, and builds well to the sex scene. The sex scene was scorching and made me want to run straight to bed. She handled the deflowering of a virgin a lot better than most – emphasizing Erin’s enjoyment over her lack of experience without the usual cliché of ‘the virgin knowing all the tricks’. The dialogue between Erin and Curt was well done. This short story has certainly made me want to read more of the series and find out what is next for these two characters. I recommend it for fans of Brenna Lyons, and those who just want a sneak peak at her writing style.
