Malibu, California — home to rock-and-roll gods and movie stars, the beautiful, the rich… and vampires. Powerful and charismatic, Raphael is a Vampire Lord, one of the few who hold the power of life and death over every vampire in existence. Thousands call him Master and have pledged absolute loyalty on their very lives. But when, in a brazen and deadly daylight attack, a gang of human killers … kidnaps the one female vampire he’d give his life for, Raphael turns to a human investigator to find his enemies before it’s too late. Cynthia Leighton is smart, tough and sexy, a private investigator and former cop who’s tired of spying on cheating spouses and digging out old bank accounts. When Raphael asks for her help in tracking down the kidnappers, Cyn’s happy to accept. But she soon realizes her greatest danger comes not from the humans, but from Raphael himself. Battling Russian mobsters and treacherous vampires, and betrayed by those they trusted, Cyn and Raphael find themselves fighting for their lives while caught up in a passion of blood and violence that is destined to destroy them both.

This is a great start to a wonderful series of books.
A female vampire is kidnapped from the most powerful vampire lord in existence. Is it a power play or one of the stupidest decisions ever made? The story takes us on a journey of a powerful vampire who is always obeyed and a sassy, tough-as-nails former LAPD cop turned PI who don’t take no shit from anyone, including vampires.

This is one of my favorite vampire romances. I think the reason I loved it so much was because both characters were strong and the ‘hero’ didn’t behave heroically all the time.

The first in a vampire suspense series. If you are looking for vampires for adults this series is for you. Excellent writing, interesting main characters.
Highly recommend this book
I did enjoy this book. However the first one was better.

Reread. Love this series.
Cyn and Raphael took me to a lovely world of romantic suspense and quite a few steamy moments.
Hard to follow at times
Awesome!
Awesome series! Extremely well-written and beautifully conceived vampire world with a cast of characters that will become old friends. I eagerly await the next book to see what they’re all up to….. Treat yourself to wonderfully romantic and sexy relationships between strong men and women and power struggles worthy of Games of Thrones.
This book was full of fascinating characters and was well paced. It combined sexy and scary.

While the plot starts out slow moving, it is interesting from the beginning as we get to know the characters who will be important as the series moves forward. The prologue sets the stage for the story which will be told within the body. The …
