*I received this book free from the author.*
Rick may have been a 500 year-old vampire widower who was set in his ways, but that did not mean he couldn't learn new things. After exploring the Dom/Sub relationships for years he had gotten quite good at being a Dom. Women lined up to be at the mastery end of his whip. But after his run in with Anna he realized that maybe it was time for a little vanilla...Cupcake.
Anna was Matt's feeder at the club, but he realized that she was too sweet and innocent to be part of the vampire world and therefore banned her. That did not stop her from wanting to protect him and his vampire family. Except Matt was off on his honeymoon and she was left to tell Rick of the vampire hunter who now resided in their town.
"In her world, Rick had slain the dragon, stormed the castle, and won her heart."
A human who wanted to protect vampires. A sweet enticing Cupcake who deserved the nickname. Rick was enthralled and would do everything within his power to not only get the girl, but to protect her, and win her heart.
Anna, who was once intimidated by Rick, finds that she is drawn to him and doesn't want to be without him. Even if his overbearing need to protect her starts from the very beginning, she doesn't question it, she knows he's doing it for her. Their romance is quick starting, filled with passion, and if Anna has anything to say about it...never-ending. Together they would have it all...including the dog.
Blood Emerald is the second book in the Blood Trilogy and it continues the struggles of Matt and Rick against Veronique. Just when they think they have her where they want her she surprises them; and their once mercy will come back to cost them. But out of something horrendous comes something good. Adam finds a fellows dragon shifter and is asked to return to his colony to be crowned king. I look forward to the look into the shifter world of Adam's in the next book, Blood Dragon.
"Dear boy, why don't you flip on security camera twelve and watch a bit of I Love Cupcake?"
"Not on your life, why would I want to watch the two of you make out in the bar?"
"Oh, I'm not in the bar. Your wife and my girlfriend have their heads together down there." - I loved this conversation between Rick and Matt. It made me laugh.

5.0 out of 5 starsI Loved it!!
By sewsummore on 13 April 2018
Format: Kindle Edition
Rick has been an vampire for centuries and has lived by his own rule of '"don't get involves with a human" until a young human named Anna enters his life. Their relationship would face many obstacles before they could relax and enjoy their love. I loved reading this story, it was long read full of danger as a spectre from his path wages war upon Rick and his lady, along with the danger there were lots of love and deep emotional episodes and friendships renewed. An enjoyable read through out.

The best sequel I've read in a long time! I'm looking forward to reading more
January 11, 2018
I was captivated from the very beginning of this magical tale, unable to tear myself away from the lovable cast. Rick Hiatt won my heart with his charming wit and tender devotion for his beloved Anna. This sensual romance is positively a five-star read. What a divine adventure awaits the reader inside the five-hundred-year-old realm of the Hiatt empire. Looking forward reading the sequel, Blood Dragon!

THIS REVIEW WAS ORIGINALLY POSTED IN RT MAGAZINE
RATING: ★★★★ ½
Rick Hiatt is a hero to die for in this stunning standalone. Literally. We were first introduced to this devilishly handsome vampire in the first book of the Blood series. Now, Rick is the leading man in this second installment and readers are going to melt as his story unfolds. The context is immaculate and the characters are wonderfully flawed. Although the heroine is fascinating and complex, Rick and his dominating ways are the tugboat dragging readers through a flood of emotion. Amber Anthony does no wrong when it comes to sculpting a man who is brought to his knees by a savvy woman.
Rick has been dealing with dom/sub relationships for hundreds of years and he runs an international BDSM Empire. But with responsibility like this comes risk. Humans and vampires live on opposite sides of a very sensitive membrane and Rick’s nemesis threatens to tear straight through that. After meeting Anna, there is hope. Anna is clever and her intuition is exactly what Rick needs … but she’s mortal. As Rick and Anna get closer, fate intervenes and exposing Rick’s kind is the least of his worries now that it’s his heart — and Anna’s life — on the chopping block. (TORRID, dl $3.99)
