What’s a girl to do when all six vampire bosses want her to bond with them? There’s good reason to bond because a cruel masochistic vampire named Valentine wants Piper for his very own. Bonding with one of her bosses sounds so much better than what Valentine has in store for her. But which one? A surprise visit from her parents causes Piper to panic but she should’ve known better. Her vampires plan human rather well and stick up for her when her parents attack her. Suddenly, the vampires and Piper are summoned to visit the vampires’ sire. Time has run out for Piper and she must be bonded or else Valentine will surely take her captive and work his will on her in the most painful way possible. Who will Piper choose?
This picks up right after book one leaves off. Piper is the heroine and once again, lets us live in her vibrant fantasies. The conflict swirling in her about which one to choose is well-plotted and comes across honestly. I mean, I don’t know who I’d choose. The scenes when Piper gets her monthly was an interesting twist I didn’t see coming. Poor Rayne. Poor Antoine. Poor Drake. Poor sexy vampires. Lol!
So, this is supposed to be a reverse harem but at the end of the book, it’s only reverse harem in Piper’s dreams. I’m hoping it will come in a later book. Fingers crossed.
If you’re looking for a steamy, seductive vampire romance with plenty of snarky dialogue, pick up Wanted by the Vampires. It does have a cliff-hanger ending but I didn’t mind. The next book comes out in a few weeks.
My Rating: 4.5 stars
* spoilers* this book was so so good. i loved every inch of it. This is the second book. piper is a maid for the durand family and she starts forming feelings for everyone in the house.

This is book two of the House of Durand series and continues to follow the story of Piper, a human who has found her perfect job as a maid for six vampires, not that she knew they were actually vampires when she took the job! She gets a good salary, no rent or pay, all her bills and medical covered. The six vampires call each other brothers, having split from their evil sire at great cost, and now living together in relative ease. They are all very good looking and she is sexually attracted to a number of them, but learnt early on, that they could hear everything she did, even in the privacy of her own bedroom, whilst they were in the basement! The six Durands are Antoine, Marcus, Rayne, Wynn and twins Drake and Allister. Antoine is the oldest and never seems to show any emotions, but also has full control over the other brothers, whilst even they can’t read him most of the time. He works a lot at running their various businesses, spending little time relaxing, or partying, like his younger brothers like to do. Piper now knows all about the private parties the brothers hold at the house every so often, where humans come to donate and party with the men. Darren, the butler and bonded human to Antoine, is the only one who is usually around during these.
In the last book, their sire’s second in command Valentine, came to their home with a female vampire Theresa, and took quite a fancy to Piper, who was told to attend and dressed in an odd outfit. When Valentine found she hadn’t been claimed by the brothers, he tried to bite her. Since then, he has deluged Piper with bouquets of flowers every day, with ever increasingly creepy notes attached. She hasn’t told anyone and only Darren knows about it so far. Valentine has set his eyes on her and according to the brothers, once he sets his eyes on someone, he won’t give up. Her ignoring him, is only feeding his attraction and want for her, so the danger is mounting for her. Darren tries to persuade her to tell Antoine, but she doesn’t want to bother him. As a bit of fun in the story, we get to see the vampire brother’s reactions when Piper has a very heavy period, unlike in the previous couple of months of her job there so far. It drives the brothers mad with bloodlust and a couple of them find it really difficult to be anywhere around her and almost attack her. She is told to isolate herself in her room and not to come out until she has finished her monthly’s! Darren has to bring her all her meals and when she tries to sneak out, after becoming too bored, but it almost ends in another dire situation.
At the same time, the brothers get a request from their sire, to attend his home, with Piper being specifically asked to attend. This will mean great danger to Piper, unless she agrees to bind herself to one of the brothers. But even then, Antoine believes that Valentine will still try to make her his, or kill her, just to drain her. Their sire is too old and powerful to be overcome, and dangerous to go against in any way. They all have their physical and mental scars from having to do things they didn’t want to, under his command. Their sire, Boris, made all of them apart from Rayne, who was changed by Antoine, but suffered the most at the twisted sire Boris’ hands. Thankfully, Boris does not have any special powers, unlike each of the brothers, but he is dangerous and extremely strong. Valentine has replaced Antoine as his right hand man, and is almost as twisted and dangerous as Boris. The story ends as they arrive at their sire’s home and with Piper somewhat protected by being bound to Antoine. Some nice fun bits in this one, but also some serious issues with Valentine and her parents added to the mix. Still some sexy scenes going on, as expected with these sexy vampire brothers, with Piper finally going a bit further with her favourite ones. I can’t wait to see what happens at their week-long visit to Boris and interactions with Valentine and Theresa. The brothers will do all they can to keep Piper safe, but what that may mean, could be quite a surprise. I received an ARC copy of this book from BookSprout and I have freely given my own opinion of the book above.
Piper is a maid for six gorgeous vampires. She likes them all. She has sexual fantasies about them all. She is really starting to have feelings for Rayne the youngest. Piper is worried because Valentine is pursuing her and sending her flowers and notes. He is not a nice vampire. He works for their sire. It gets worse when their sire invites them all to his home including Piper. Piper must bond with one of them to keep her safe from Valentine and their sire. Now she must choose who to bond with. She likes them all. Who will she choose? This is book two and it is very good. The author is building an awesome world with interesting characters. There are some humorous parts in the story that make you laugh out loud. I am looking forward to reading the next book in this series.

Piper was the maid for a house of a clan of vampire men who all wanted her but not all would admit it. Antoine was the head of house and his brothers Rayne, Allister, Drake, Wynn and Marcus along with his blood bond servant Darren had all left their Master’s home because of the lifestyle that was lived there. In this book Valentine, from the Master’s house has decided he wants Piper. So their fun and exciting story has this family on edge not only with worry about Piper being in danger but they the whole house is sexually frustrated because Piper wants them and they want her but Antoine has Darren blocking them all. Funny entertaining read

Oh, this had a good twist and I found myself living in Piper’s fantasies as well because who wouldn’t six sexy bosses for our very own? This was fun, exciting, a a little suspenseful, and lots sexy.
A house of full of Hot Vampires brings on loads of complications and not only the obvious one of drinking blood. The flirtation with Piper (FMC) and her bosses – Antoine, Marcus, Rayne, Wynn, Drake & Allister goes up another level in this book. As well as the steam especially with her and Antoine. The mile high club springs to mind!!! Other problems on the horizon include a persistent Vampire – Valentine and Piper’s vile parents. Im loving the dynamic between Piper and the guys but i cant help but want to include Darren in this RH. Maybe im being greedy lol. Still this series is absolutely brilliant and i cant wait for the next book
Another great book to the series! The author once again delivers an entertaining read with strong ,well developed characters and a hot and steamy story line. She brings in supporting characters to help bring the story around. Her scenes are painted in detail and the story moves quickly and smoothly. She had me glued to the pages right to the end and left me wanting more with the cliffhanger ending. I’m looking forward to the next book.

Piper thought she had the perfect job lined up. But she ended up working for six vampire bosses in the House of Durand. Whether it’s an honor or a bit nerve-wracking, Piper really needs to bond with one of her bosses for her own protection. Bonding will protect her from the men’s sire, a cruel vampire master named Valentine. He would love to get his teeth… uh, hands on her for himself. But she hasn’t chosen which of her six bosses she should bond with! And now her bosses, along with Piper, have been summoned to see Valentine. She’s out of time! If she isn’t bonded by the time they get there, Valentine will take her captive and enjoy her himself in a most unpleasant way. Is she any closer to a decision? Which one will she pick?
As the excitement mounts, the reader is ready to see what happens at the meeting with Valentine when Piper has become bound to … someone. No matter what happens, we know it won’t be good for Piper! Valentine’s treachery is not over yet! Grab your copy and prepare for the next part of this tense adventure!
Piper has to face the consequences and make decisions that will affect the rest of her life based on what happened in book 1. There is a major decision that the Durand brothers come to that forces Piper into making her own. The book ends with this decision being made and set. Will need to read book 3 ASAP to find out what happens next regarding Valentine! Good thing for us readers, it’s already out.
If you like hot vampires, mind reading, and drama give this series a chance.

Piper is back and getting closer to the men of the house. Learned more about Piper and each of the men, both vampire and thralls. Of course things are not all rosy and danger and problems abound. Was interesting to get closer to all the characters and watch them come into their own. Just an fun read.
Things are heating up with Piper and her Vampires.
Piper has kissed two of the men, but now the others are becoming more friendly. They are all falling for her so when her parents show up the men protect her against her devious scheming parents. But they have been called to go to meet their sire and Valentine has been stalking Piper. He as orchestrated it so that Piper has to go to their sire also, so to keep her safe she has to bond with one of the men. But with six men she’s attracted to whom will she choose? Her choice was surprising. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story which started shortly after book one ended and cannot wait for book three, very well written, interesting diverse brilliantly developed characters with amazingly strong chemistry, fantastic story and what another ending. A story filled with snark, humour, suspense, mystery, secrets, sexual frustration, flirtations, reverse harem fantasy, twists and a cliffhanger ending, I NEED to know what happens next in this series at the home of their sire, bring on book three PLEASE! This series is going from strength to strength and I have no idea how the talented Erin Bedford will keep the series on this progression, I will definitely be reading more though, I am totally hooked.

intense chemistry and yummy vampires
POV: multiple
HUMOR: yes!
F BOMBS: yes
CLIFFHANGER: yes
NEW AUTHOR FOR ME: no
This is book 2 in the series and these books must be read in order.
The first book had me hooked, and this one is just as entertaining. We get a closer glimpse into a few more brothers and their feelings for their human maid, Piper.
1 mortal female living with 6 vampires dealing with unexpected visitors, her period, a plane trip, a job offer, and picking which vampire to be bound to, all while fighting their attraction. All six Durands and the manservant, Darren, are quite taken with Piper. This slow burn has a few steamy scenes and a brief m/m scene.
The one thing that consistently confused me was that the book kept saying “all five Durand brothers”… 5? There are 6: Antoine, Marcus, Drake, Allister, Wynn, and Rayne. ARC version had some typos/grammar issues, and this story ends on a cliffhanger, but still looking forward to reading the next book!

“Wanted by the Vampires” is the second installment on “House of Durant’” by Erin Bedford, a paranormal series that focuses on the relationship between a human servant in a house full of vampires.
Piper wished for work, any kind of work at the beginning of the series and very true to fantasy rules, she got a job: as a maid/gouvernante in the House of Durant, and as Piper was in dire need of a job, and moreover she has a personality of her own, she took the job and went through the motions. In the meantime, Piper has accommodated herself to the house rules and the whims of her bosses, and as there is six of them it has taken a great deal of accommodation, the fact that they all are literally drop-dead-gorgeous does not always help. But keeping to her job during day and to herself at the night, makes things work. Only Valentine (the Durant’s sire) keeps being a pain in her “derrière”, thus maybe bonding with one of the boys could take the care of the problems, if she could only decide which one.
Despite the reverse harem genre, the series plays with the theme and presents a very amusing plot, with a slow burn feel, that for the most part takes place in Piper own mind, thus, despite the title, which I am not fond of this is a very good constructed story, with a female MC that, regardless of being ‘trapped’ in a house full of ‘monsters’, can (and does) stand her ground and manages to get best out of a not really so bad situation, and becoming part of the somehow dysfunctional Durant family
Out of the entire series, I think this book is my favorite. It is the book that cements Piper as “you are part of the House of Durand”. You get into each of the guys abilities more and Piper learns about each and even Marcus considers her family after this (even though he won’t admit it for the most part beyond this book until the end of the series).
