Austin is working a dead-end job, left with no place else to go and living out of his car. His family left him with nothing but the clothes on his back and the broken-down car he’s living in. But his fate changes one day when a beautiful blue-eyed girl walks into his job and demands that he listen to her—and then the secrets of his family’s past begin to unwind. Haley moved from her world to live … world to live on her own, away from others of her kind. She left to be protected from the deadly secrets her life held, but what she wasn’t expecting was for the voices she hears to lead her right back into the depths of her past—or meeting a gorgeous man destiny says is hers.
Will Austin and Haley be able to fight through the secrets and danger trying to tear them apart? Was fate really right in bringing them together—or is their love too tainted to flourish in the darkness of their destinies?

Livell James paints a paranormal picture of a secret world below the city streets of Shreveport, LA. The details have me wanting to join a vampire coven underground and find my own for some mate time. I recommend this book. Hope there will be more to this series.
This book was just amazing, James Livell is a great author. This is the first book I ever read of his, it won’t be the last. Tainted Love made me laugh, sitting on the edge of my seat a few times. But the way Haley helps Austin is Awesome. The love they find for each other through all twists and turns and tribulations is magical. I couldn’t put it down.
Austin thinks it can’t get much worse, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him homeless and sleeping in his car and working 2 days a week at a supermarket. When a mysterious blond comes looking for him, saying she has a message from his dead parents, things get really weird.
What a great read. I loved the chemistry between Austin and Haley. The story was well written and kept me glued to the pages. The only question that I still have is: will I get more of these characters? I hope so!
Tainted Love takes place in a wonderfully crafted world created by the author. A young man finds out that his life has been a lie and the news is delivered by the most beautiful girl he has ever met. The chemistry between the two is off the charts. I really enjoyed this story.
I really enjoyed this book. It is a great read and can’t read the next books.
Love the story between Austin and Haley. I could not get enough of them. Like how they had different powers and their connection to each other.
I don’t read the vampire genre. I gave this one a try and I am glad I did. The story captivates you from the beginning. Livell James did a great job painting the scene to allow you the feel as if you are within the book. Loved every minute of it.
Loved this book. This is Austin and Haley’s story.
Austin thinks it can’t get much worse, his parents died in a car accident, leaving him homeless and sleeping in his car and working two days a week at a supermarket. When a mysterious blond comes looking for him, saying she has a message from his dead parents, things get really weird.
Very interested in what happens next.
Whoa, what a ride! Twists, turns and a different take on the typical vampire story. Plus the chemistry between Austin and Haley will have you turning on the fan.
For a solo debut, it wasn’t bad. I really liked the twist on the vampires. But the constant “replay” of a scene drove me nuts. A chapter would end with a scene, then the next chapter would open with the exact same scene, but now from the other character’s point of view. I had a hard time sticking with the book because of this.
