The Graveside Bar and Grill: A Charley Davidson Novella Kindle Edition

From New York Times and USA Today bestselling author Darynda Jones comes a new story in her Charley Davidson series…

When Donovan St. James’ precocious charge asks him—no questions asked—to tail the doctor who keeps their ragtag team patched up, he wants to refuse. Not because the saucy teen is getting too big for her britches, ordering him around like a mob boss, but because the woman stirs feelings in him he would rather not explore. However, when evil threatens the doc’s life, he realizes he has no choice. Sia saved his life once. He will try to return the favor. He just prays he can do it without losing his heart.

Running from the supernatural entity that has destroyed entire worlds to have her, Sia thought she’d found a haven on Earth with a motley team of warriors protecting the girl destined to save humanity. But when Sia’s found, she realizes something on this plane is more scrumptious than her: that very teen. So, she runs—and Donovan St. James follows. Nothing is more alluring than a scruffy biker with a lacerating gaze. And she vows to tell him that…if they survive.

**Every 1001 Dark Nights novella is a standalone story. For new readers, it’s an introduction to an author’s world. And for fans, it’s a bonus book in the author’s series. We hope you'll enjoy each one as much as we do.**

Love These 1001 Dark Nights Novellas
*Sorry I’m late. I didn’t want to come. —T-shirt often seen on Charley Davidson*---I love visiting Charley's world via these 1001 Dark Nights novellas. They're fun and bite size and perfect for a lunchtime read. We may not get a whole book of Charley in this one, but we do get to read about Elwyn/Beep/teacup/Savior of the Universe as she sends the very hot, smexy, tattooed Donovan after the lovely Sia, who seems to be running from something. Donovan is determined to find out what's going on and protect her if needed....and if she'll let him.This story was soooo good! I enjoyed reading from the first page until the last. Donovan and Sia are excellent together. Charley's her usual crazy self, Reyes is delicious as always, and I wanna hang out with Teacup. I'm ready for the next book.---Love some of the chapter quotes:*I may look fine, but deep down I don’t remember any of my passwords. — Meme**English is a great language. For example, “take out” can mean food, dating, or murder. —True fact**You are about to exceed the limits of my medication. —T-shirt*Many thanks to 1001 Dark Nights Publishing, Social Butterfly PR, and the author for an advance copy of this book. My thoughts are my own and without bias or favor or expectations.

I am absolutely loving these 1001 Dark Nights novellas in the Charley Davidson world. It is absolutely thrilling having some favorite side characters have their moment in the limelight, and this third release – Donovan St. James' story!! – is no exception. The best part is that Darynda Jones' gives us enough context and backstory that I think anyone could read and enjoy these novellas whether or not you've read Charley's books.

These are quick, fast-paced reads. When Donovan St. James’ precocious charge asks him—no questions asked—to tail the doctor who keeps their ragtag team patched up, he wants to refuse. Not because the saucy teen is getting too big for her britches, ordering him around like a mob boss, but because the woman stirs feelings in him he would rather not explore. However, when evil threatens the doc’s life, he realizes he has no choice. Sia saved his life once. He will try to return the favor. He just prays he can do it without losing his heart.

I devoured this book and loved every moment. I can't wait to see where Darynda Jones takes us next. Highly recommend it to fans of the Charley Davidson series and just fans of paranormal romance in general. Darynda delivers more of everything I've come to love in her books – fabulous humor, steamy romance, and intriguing paranormal mystery. Loved everything about this one.

This story grabs you immediately and keeps carrying you along without a break. I started reading late last night, it’s now 4:25 am and I need to get up in four hours, and I don’t even care.
Well worth the read… but if you haven’t already read all the Charley Davidson series (in order!) and the first two 1001 Dark Nights “Charley” novellas, do yourself a favor and read those first.

The Graveside Bar and Grill is a short story by Darynda Jones that takes place in the Charley Davidson universe. This story takes place after the 13th book in the series. If you haven't read the series, don't start here. If you have read the series and always wanted a little more Donovan St. James in your life, here's your chance. This has everything you have come to expect from this series, something dark and sinister, something supernatural, a good dose of humor, and some really hot romance. These novellas give me hope that this series isn't totally finished.

4.0 out of 5 stars Short but good

This was a short read for the fans of the series who already know the characters, the world, and the story. Otherwise, it doesn't make much sense.

Donovan is a series stable from the start, Sia is a newer addition. The story is too short to properly get to know them, but what we see made me like them. The plot relies on the threat on Sia and it works well. The nine chapters manage to have both heat and heartbreak. Charley and her divine husband finally make a proper return too, which was great. Looking forward to the next phase in the story.

Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2022

Our boy Donovan has NO CLUE what Sia is (or how much she wants him) until things take a dangerous turn for her and he steps into her orbit to help her out (at the gentle urging of Elwyn, mind you, because Elwyn is wicked smart and very intuitive. As she should be.). He also ends up a little changed by the experience, but then EVERYONE who crosses Elwyn's path seems to end up changed in one way or another.

As for Donovan and Sia, she's on the run from a VERY BAD thing and Donovan isn't about to allow her to face off against it alone. Even if he doesn't know what it is. Or why Sia is running. Or how to help her out, really. Basically, the guy has a lot of heart and a big soft spot for the doc even if she doesn't seem to notice him.

BUT WAIT. Sia has noticed the big biker. And she likes what she sees, but she's not willing to drag him into her mess. Or maybe she doesn't quite know HOW to drag him in, even if she was willing to risk him. Either way, she plays it cool and Donovan took it as disinterest when it was anything but.

A very dangerous being, a doc who has a whole lot of secrets, a biker with a heart of gold, and a chance for these two to make things happen even after the worst has happened. DARN, I like this series.

I felt like I was reading a rough draft. It really needs more of the story and characters filled in. I love the charley Davidson series and I enjoy all the authors books. This short story felt so unfinished. So much potential not utilized.

Voor de fans van Beep en Artemis.
Donovan was de leider van een motorclub maar sinds Charley in zijn leven kwam is hij toegewijd aan haar en Beep.
Verrassend verhaal, maar voor de echte fans, je wilt meer na dit boek gelezen te hebben. Geweldig zoals altijd.

I’m a huge fan of Darynda Jones. The Charlie Davidson books are THE funniest urban fantasy novels out there.

Read the series before reading this novella though or you won’t get the background.

Hav8ng read this series from the beginning, I can honestly say that nothing about it disappoints, the imagination the author has it awe inspiring. The original series is now completed but is kept going wonderfully within the 1001 series, if you read you will realise why or I hope I realise right.

4.0 out of 5 stars A bit too short.
Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 24, 2022

There is a big story trying to be told her and the work is just a bit too short to do it justice. It's funny, has great characters and continues the Charity Davidson series but ............. First there's too many character's and the author tries to give them all their moment to shine and for the most part succeeds. Then, there's he heroine, Sia, her backstory is easy to understand only if you have reading the series, Donavan, is fascinated by her but having known Six for five years has never interacted with her hen suddenly it's love.......... The return of Charlie and Rhys was a weak spot for me, why would they return and not immediately rush to be with their daughter also surely the barrier created by their becoming pure energy would dissipate upon their becoming human once again, just a little niggle. It is fun to see events and people from Donovans point of view and Ms Jones always writes very readable stories ----- hence the four stars-------- but with a few more pages everything would feel less rushed, especially the ending.
