“I was wherever I want to be.” She tried to move past him to unlock her door, but he stood stubbornly in her way. At the moment,she really wished she had her gun. “I’ve only known you for one day, and yet I’m already very sick of you. Now move,” she ordered, trying to muster up as much authority in her tone as possible.
She wasn’t surprised when he didn’t budge. Instead of making some futile … when he didn’t budge. Instead of making some futile effort to move him, she wrangled her hand around his back and tried to locate the keyhole. This pressed her front directly into his, and the strangest sensation hit her torso.
Nicolas is the embodiment of royalty. Strong. Powerful. Deadly. The only thing he’s missing is his throne.
Decades ago a vampire mutiny murdered his father and forced him into hiding, but all that is about to change. A mortal woman smart enough to learn the truth about him and naive enough to trust him is the perfect pawn to sneak him back into the monarchy.
Nothing is going to stop Nicolas from getting what is rightfully his. Not lust. Not love. And not Anna. At least that’s what he thinks.more
Very interesting story about a former Vampire Prince Nicolas who teams up with a human Anna, in search of the Vampire Aleksander who murdered his father and took over the Throne. Anna is looking for Aleksander because she saw him murder her best friend’s father and on the same day, her friend disappeared as did her own abusive father.
Anna needs answers so she can stop looking over her shoulder and fearing that her father will come after her at any time. Also she wants to know if he friend is alive or dead. At first Nicolas plans to use Anna as a pawn or sacrifice, not caring if she lives or dies as a diversion while he is able to sneak onto the palace grounds and kill the king. However the more time he spends with her, the more he decides he doesn’t want her to die.
A good enough story to enjoy spending two hours lazing away on, as the dialogue between the two lovebirds was engaging enough. After reading the excerpt at the end of the book I will also check out the next book in the series.
Good points: It was a somewhat lengthy read, it was free and it started out good.
Bad Points: The main heroin was not a heroin at all but was annoying and could not fight at all. The characters were not well developed, some explanations leave you hanging and the story went downhill after the first few chapters
Liked the twists and turns
Nicolas and Anna
Loved, loved, the story. I enjoyed it so much I immediately bought the second book in the series. Great colorful characters with unexpected twists and turns.
pretty good
This book was just too out there for me. I mean I can go paranormal and really enjoy it but some of this was just ridiculous and for the most part didn’t add a thing to the plot. Just not something I would recommend
Enjoyed this book. Easy to read and fast paced. Purchased next in series and enjoyed it too.
Loved the story! Anna is adorable and funny.
I enjoyed reading this novel .it kept me up late to finish it I could not put it down at all
A great twist on vampire/human relationship. It was fun, suspenseful and romantic.
A Sexy Vampire Thriller!!

This book was total escapism at it’s best
Anna is a 28 year old grad student, although she looks much younger. She was horrendously scarred, by her abusive father, until he disappeared when she was 13 yrs old! She is convinced she saw her bestfriends father murdered by a Vampire, the same night Evie & her own Father disappeared. She’s been searching for that ‘Vampire’, Aleksandre, or a way to find him ever since!!
Whilst out jogging at night, Anna gets an anonymous call & is told a Vampire lives in the building opposite & what apartment number he lives in. She’s so desperate, after 15 years, she decides to check it out!! She risks her life the next night by following him, it nearly ends very badly for her!!
Nikolas knows exactly who Anna wants to talk to once she shows him a drawing of Alek. He’s the same man he wants to kill!! They agree to help each other to accomplish each other’s goals. Neither count’s on their magnetic attraction to the other. It definitely complicates matters for Nikolas as he didn’t care if she survived …. Now he does!!
I lost myself in the story of this book, I really needed the escape too!! I adored the characters & can’t wait to find out where the Author takes us next in this new world! Parts were quite emotive but not overly so, unless it was between the couple It was a steamy, thriller but although there’s plenty of tension & ‘who dunnit’ about the plot, it isn’t bigger down in seriousness!! It had a great balance
A definite recommendation from me if you want some steamy, escapism with a good plot too!!
