Nesting Instinct: Book 2 Rita's Redemption
Rita is a talented young half breed with a streak of rebellion that takes her far away from the traditional life her mother planned for her when she receives a scholarship to art and design school in Chicago. Determined to live her life on her own terms, she throws caution to the wind when she meets a handsome Vampire who sweeps her off her feet with the vacation of her dreams to Paris. Unfortunately, her patron is not the man she thought he was. He leaves her battered and bleeding in a foreign land with no money, no language skills and no way to get home. Dragging her brutalized body to safety, she discovers new friends, new opportunities and a new life in South Carolina. When her destined mate appears in her path, Rita finally feels like everything is her world is perfect, but her ugly past won't stay where it belongs and she's forced to make a heartbreaking decision. Can she survive the consequences of her choice? Will she find her way home to a mate that loves her with all of his heart? ***This story contains accounts of domestic violence and abuse and may be a trigger for some people.****

Vivienne’s Home For Waifs and Strays
This book follows on directly from Book 1 in the series, however, the main focus of the book is on Kian, Vivi’s older (and newfound) brother and Rita. A bit of a heads up as this book is a bit darker than the first one, and there should really be a trigger warning because the difficult action takes place quite near the start of the book.
Rita is a design student who has been swept off her feet by a rich and powerful older vampire. She’s head over heels and when he suggests taking her to Paris for a holiday she immediately ditches college to go with him, not realising that the vampire she’s in love with doesn’t exist, it’s all an act.
In Paris, alone, with no money or support, her boyfriend becomes a monster. After escaping barely clinging on to her life she is helped by Vivi and Declan, who are there for their honeymoon. Obviously, they take her under their wings and sweep her back to the US to safety, where she gets a chance to recover and meets Kian.
There is a lot more violence and darkness in this book, as should be obvious from the subject matter. Some of it is explicit, some of it is fade to black. It’s not visceral, however, it could still cause some people to trigger if they aren’t prepared.
I really enjoyed the book, even though it wasn’t as easy a read as the first in the series. In fact, I think that made it better as we got to see the dark side of the Vampire race. I will almost definitely read the next book.
