Niccolo Ascosi is a vampire, over two hundred years of age. A rich man, he owns many businesses but does not have the one thing he desires above all else, the one thing he has been searching for for centuries. A companion. A mate. When first seeing Ivory, he feels a reaction to her he cannot explain and he acts totally out of character, inviting her to join him at his table and share his wine. He quickly decides that she will be his sustenance that night, both her blood and her body, a combination he has rarely partaken of. Little does he know, she may be just what he has been searching for for so long. Will she fulfil all the desires of his heart? Or will she take his heart and shatter it, leaving him facing a pain that is greater than any he has ever experienced?

Rubies, Sapphires and Ivory is an engaging tale told from both characters perspectives that is no less than what I have come to expect from JJ Massa. Exceedingly well written, this is a heart warming story of a man who has long searched for that special someone with little hope of ever finding her and a woman with many personal problems who never thought to find someone who would love her for herself. My enjoyment of this story was only marred by the occasional editorial error. I would have liked to see the characters slightly more developed, but with all JJ Massa has packed into this fairly short story, I am delighted to say that this is a great tale, well worth taking the time to purchase and read. Rubies, Sapphires and Ivory would make a great addition to your ‘forever collection’.
