I had been putting off reading this book for no specific reason and chose it for a monthly reading challenge. I'm glad I did b/c it was a light, easy, sometimes funny read. Good vamp fluff to break up the "tougher" reads. I'll definitely check out book 2 at some point. ...more

I like Erin McCarthy's writing, but for some reason I just couldn't get into this book. I started it a few months ago, and put it down because something else came I wanted to read more and I eventually picked this up again. I could never find that line that hooked me. I was a bit bored. The story line was boring, the characters were boring - everything was boring. There was no "real" story... just a lot of sex. I hate to say it, but I doubt I'll be reading any more of this series.

I really liked this book because it was fast paced and made me laugh out loud.
Alexis is a feisty woman who gets and does what she wants.
Ethan is vampire who is almost a thousand years old and has never fallen in love or met the "one" for him.
This is a fast paced love story that has the couple in love and wed in a matter of weeks. Believable? No... but hey it's a vampire romance book for crying out loud.
I really liked the book and will continue on with the series. ...more

3.5/5 stars
I read this for a goodreads book challenge where I had to read a book that had a bat on the cover. For some reason, there are backwards symbols on the slot machine on this cover. I wonder if it was intentional?

This was a light book, and it was certainly full of steamy scenes. I will read the next in the series, but I wish there was more humor in this book. Maybe next book?
