My Review
A dark vampire romance with a guy who looks like that on the cover? Yes please. lol This sounded like my kind of book and boy was I right. Master Descallia or Salvatore as Luciana calls him is a pure blood vampire and overmaster of the purebloods. Meaning he's in charge and he knows it. Everyone knows it and if they try to pull one over on him, he takes care of them one way or another. This man doesn't mess around.
So when he finds out that women are going missing and someone is making it look like the vampires are to blame, he has to get help which is when he meets Luciana. She's a human police detective and agrees to help him investigate who is kidnapping the women. But very quickly she gets badly hurt and she's not going to make it. So Salvatore asks her permission to turn her into a vampire, he's hoping she will accept because he feels a pull towards her like he would for a mate, but his mate was lost to him long ago.
Luciana accepts being turned and thus she is thrown into his life and now that she's a vampire, he expects her to bend to his will like all the other vampires do. Well, he has another thing coming if he thinks she's just going to do whatever he says. Luciana is sassy, sarcastic and headstrong which not only turns Salvatore on, but makes him crazy because he's so used to everyone bending to his will and she doesn't like being told what to do. So the arguments these two have are really funny.
These two were so fun to watch. There was some BDSM and Dom/sub interactions since Master Descallia owns a BDSM club but there was nothing non-consensual or outlandishly harsh. It was all pretty subdued in my opinion.
I really liked the reasons that came to light as to why these two felt such a strong pull towards each other. That was a sweet storyline.
I give this book 5 out of 5 stars.
