Stolen Moments, published in 2020, represents Keira Blackwood working in the shorter form, where every scene has to pull its weight and the romance has to land without the runway a full novel provides. Short paranormal romance is a distinct challenge: the world-building can only go so far, so the characters need to do most of the work, and Blackwood’s instinct for building chemistry quickly suits the format.
The title suggests something fleeting and precious, which fits the short story form itself. Stolen Moments asks readers to settle into a story that knows its limits and works within them rather than trying to stretch into something bigger. For fans of the Protectors or Spellbound Shifters series, it offers more time in Blackwood’s paranormal world without a major new arc to track.
Short fiction in paranormal romance often serves as a bridge between larger works or a way to spotlight secondary characters from established series. Whether Stolen Moments does either or simply stands alone as its own piece, it reflects Blackwood’s willingness to work across formats and give readers different entry points into her writing.
