Book Blurb
Too-playful-for-his-own-good, Jason Sullivan keeps himself busy working his job, hitting the gym, and dating the right girl for the right amount of time. He loves romance. He loves treating a woman right. Until he has a chance encounter with Taylor Grant. Taylor escaped Georgia to flee a broken relationship. Her convictions to stay single, stay away from men and give up sex altogether will be challenged when the mischievous Jason gets her in his cross hairs. Jason’s seductions are not only in his romances, but also in his job. When a meeting with a new client brings Jason's human past forefront, secrets and regrets come crashing down around him. He will turn not only to the new lady in his life, but to his ‘brothers’—Travis, Ian, Quinn and Evan—who will unite as an unstoppable force that not even one greedy, vindictive hag can expect.
My Review
Since I love vampires and vampire stories I thought I would give this book a try. I love reading new to me authors and finding new books and authors to love so I'm really glad to have read this because I know I'll be reading more from this author in the future.
Jason Sullivan loves a good challenge and after meeting Taylor, he's in full challenge mode since he asked her out and she turns him down.
Taylor Grant tries to keep Jason away and even warned him she's sworn off men and sex but it doesn't stop him from pursuing her. She finally breaks down and gives in to a date. They see each other a couple of times and then he brings her home to meet his family, that's when the real fun begins.
The emails they send back and forth to each other were fun, playful and made me laugh. You could really see the chemistry between these two and I knew they were made for each other even if they didn't...yet.
Jason is different, he's a vampire. But the real fun is Jason's family. They are so much fun and I could see myself being comfortable around them as long as they've been fed before I get there. But Jason loves animals and it seems so does his 'family'. I really like it when a story has some kind of animal element to it and this one has more than one and it was too darn cute how the household ends up with not one but several different animals.
Everything is going great and then something really bad happens and that starts a whole new darker feel to this story. Things happen and feelings are hurt and even I got emotional reading it but in the end we get to find out if a human female will willingly change her entire life to be the vampire of her dreams.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.

When the crap hits the fun that is usually when the fun/meat in the story begins
ReplyDeleteVery true.
DeleteI think that happen in life and in fiction
DeleteYou had me when you said he loved animals. Vampires and animal lovers, what's not to love. Sounds like a great story. :-)
ReplyDeleteYeah, that's one of the things I really liked too.
DeleteJason's just rather cuddling all around .... with fangs, but he knows he's a softy and he embraces it. Thank you for coming by.
DeleteWow, loved this review! Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteHehe...I chuckled at '...as long as they've been fed...'
Thanks so much. Glad you enjoyed the review.
DeleteYea, this is a great blog!! I'm glad we found each other!!
DeleteThanks so much, me too!
DeleteI love the sound of the secondary characters and the emails and banter! Wonderful review Mary :)
ReplyDeleteThank you.
DeleteThank you about that. It's actually the secondary characters that are responsible for this series. While writing Book I they sorta massed together in protest and demanded their own books.
DeleteThe blurb doesn't mention vampires or am I still half asleep. Great review, Mary. It really makes me want to pick up the book to read.
ReplyDeleteNo, you're right. It doesn't mention vampire but it does say Jason's human past.
DeleteOh I love when there's some type of written communication between characters. I don't know why but that always gets me.
ReplyDeleteI've never heard that before. Very nice Yeah, I see that. It's like their written word is caught,
DeleteI really like that too.
DeleteA vampire that loves animals, that's good versus keeping them for dinner. I say this vamp is better than most humans!
ReplyDeleteLOL ... I would agree, I think all the Dead Men are more human than most humans,
Deletelol That's funny.
DeleteLoved reading your reviews! I just read an interview with the author on another blog, so reading your review came at the perfect time! :) ~Jess
ReplyDeleteI think it was a wonderful review and not just cuz it was mine. Very thought it. Very well presented. Thank you.
DeleteThank you both, I really appreciate that.
DeleteI want to offer my apologies for my tardiness. I did have two days of launch going on for this book, but that wasn't my main roadblock. I was launching the book while coming off a very nasty flu. Sorta felt like cement was choking me. Anyway, sorry I was late, glad I got here
ReplyDeleteHope you are feeling better now. Thanks so much for stopping by.
DeleteI hadn't seen this one before. Good catch, Mary. I'm on the scout for new vampire stories to love, too. Nice review!
ReplyDeleteI hope it's one you can enjoy. It is rather non traditional, but the guys make it worth it, I think.
