This story just keeps getting better and is so enjoyable. Piper has a big decision to make this book. A lot of steamy build up.
Second in the House of Durand series. Piper finds herself moving closer to the vampires and Darrell, Antoine’s(the head of the family) thrall. One thing she learns fast is when it’s that time of the month, she has to lock herself in her room, for obvious reasons.
Things get dark when Sebastian, another vampire from the same maker as the Durands, decides he wants Piper; to the point he offers to buy her.
The writer continues to add depth to her characters as well as fleshing out secondary characters, like Darrell, and begins to flesh out some of the brothers that were just introduced in the first book. Definitely a page turner. This book does end on a bit of a cliffhanger, but the next book in the series is available so no waiting time.
Oh ho ho! Things are definitely heating up! This was a fantastic read, the same Piper we love, with all her outspoken and clumsy glory, just leveled up. Things are getting complicated with everyone’s feelings and emotions and just when things are starting to get dangerous. Can’t wait to find out how this goes!
This book was a lot shorter than the first and there was a few inconsistencies, typos, and Dynamics that irritated me to no end. She was suppose to be the only one fired but in this one said they company went under and the pet she had to give up was Marcus the cat not a dog. That’s annoying when you’re reading a series and the author can’t keep little facts straight. I don’t like or really understand why she suddenly interacts with the guys differently after they reveal that she needs to be binded, allister starts talking more when he could have been doing that from the beginning seeing as his gift doesn’t seem to affect her that much. I was really rooting for rayne but petty shit kept getting in the way and when she chose Antoine to do the binding it just felt wrong. Her reasons were weak and he keeps his feelings hidden so it makes for a frustrating read. I don’t like where it ended either but I hope the next book is longer with fewer errors and a lot more happy endings for rayne.
Favorite lines: “Like what? Changing into bats?” My eyes lit up, and I wiggled in my seat. “Oh, can they poof into smoke like Dracula?”
“Just tell me that it wasn’t something the little human isn’t going to bitch about to me tomorrow?”
“It is not the clothing choice, but the fact is that the less clothing you wear, the more we can scent your blood, and the artery in your inner thigh is most fragrant of them all.”
Instead of rushing off, she straightened her back and flipped me off. “That’s not my problem either.” Piper then stomped out of the office and slammed the door behind her.
Allister banged on the island, and I jumped in place as he pointed an accusatory finger at his twin. “I knew you cheated!”
Crossing her arms over her chest, Piper popped one hip out. “I don’t know. Do I? You’re the mind reader.” Fuck off, you pervy dick.
I glared menacingly down at my uterus. “It’s not my fault I’m not pregnant. Stop growling at me.”
“Did you just… growl at me?” I eyed him suspiciously, cocking my head to the side as I tried to decipher what could be wrong.
My traitorous vagina sure would have been on board for whatever it was he wanted to do. “Piper! Fuck. Please stop.”
Which was Darren’s way of saying get the fuck out of the kitchen and get to work you wanton hussy. Okay, so that last part was me, but still, I could read between the lines.
“Oh, yes. Don’t want our precious maid to know what despicable deviants we are.”
I guess he trusted me to keep my word, a horrible decision on his part really.
“Mark my words, have you they will, and then they won’t want to let you go.”
So, you can take your condescending attitude and shove it up your ass where the rest of your personality lives.”
Except for this one, this little human female who glared at me like I was the scum beneath her foot and I should be the one so lucky to speak to her, let alone have her as my employee.
“Maybe you can help our master pry the stick out of his ass. He seems to have gotten one lodged up there somewhere.”
“But it is hard to enjoy the company of such subpar women when we have such a goddess here at home.”
“This had all been some elaborate game to get me big and fat so you guys can eat me.”
“Really?” I lifted my brows and stared at her. “We’re not paying you to sleep with us or even feed us. Just to clean our house, and, let’s be frank, you don’t even do that very well.”
“And when Piper was living in her car,” Darren asked with a hint of animosity, “where were you then?”
“Some parents should not have been,”
“Good, then they are no longer your family,” Marcus replied curtly. I stared up at him in confusion. “Now, you are our family. We can throw them out.”
“And how do you think that would have gone over with Piper? Oh, yes, Piper, we have a lovely vintage from your parents. Now, please, open those delicious legs of yours and let me stick my cock in you.”
“So, you were listening?”
“Fervently.”
Wow this boxset gets so hot you may need a cold shower I absolutely could not get enough of this. I was hooked from the first page great writing job, bravo loved it and if anyone is looking some steamy wonderful reads then add this boxset to your list you will not be disappointed I was not I loved it

Let me start by saying that I am addicted to this series. I look forward to seeing what else Piper can get into with her silly attitude. The only thing she has going for her is her looks. She’s a maid that’s not very good, she doesn’t follow instructions, she’s nosey and throws tantrums. I don’t understand why they haven’t told her to shape up or hit the road. I loved the way every one handled her parents. Her mother’s thoughts made me laugh. I like getting to know all the guys, including Darren. Rayne is still my favorite. I am on pins and needles waiting for the next book. I requested an advanced reader copy from Booksprout and am under no obligation to leave this review.
After Valentine’s visit, Piper’s refusal to follow orders and keep her mouth shut things seem to have gone back to normal. Piper does her work, breaks the occasional object, fantasizes about the guys (her favorites mostly), and mouths off when the moment/situation suits her. While the last book was steamy things do get a bit steamier with this one so get ready!
Wanted by the Vampires picks up where book one leaves off which I really like. You get the feeling that there is tension between everyone as Valentine isn’t giving up in expressing his interest in Piper. He knows she’s not bonded, claimed or being bitten by the guys so he’s intent on trying to claim her for himself. Thankfully Piper has enough sense from her first encounter to know that this is not something she wants. Too bad she’s not willing to take responsibility for running her mouth when she should have just bit her tongue.
I like that we get more of the guys in this book. It keeps things engaging and then them being summoned adds to the drama and tension. Tension climbs when Piper’s period makes an appearance. Of course, things go haywire, but what’s a girl to do when Mother Nature decides that you need a major blow when it comes to that time of the month? While we do get some action with this book, for those who are hoping for more…sorry. Not yet. Still a major tease of a slow burn, but at least we’re getting somewhere.
There are some inconsistencies in this story, but I’m sure that they have been addressed and caught by now. My only real issue with this book is Piper herself. Either she’s overreacting to a certain situation or she’s acting like a teenager. No, I’m not talking about being horny. I’m talking about her attitude and level of snark. For me, she comes off more teenager than a grown woman. Then in a certain scene when Wynn apologizes to HER for her getting hurt behind her being nosey…I’m sorry but I gave that scene major side eye. I get that Wynn knows she’s hot for him, but for him to apologize for her being…essentially dumb enough to be standing behind a soundproof door trying to be nosey…she got what she deserved.
I am rating this book 4.5 out of 5 stars. I’m eager for more to get going between these characters and for the reverse harem aspect to come together, but for now, I am enjoying the series and am looking forward to more. I just hope that in the next book that Piper matures a bit because for me, she acts a bit too childish too often. If you’ve enjoyed this series to this point grab this book and dive in.

I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review. This is the second book in the House of Durand series and it was just such a great read.

Mouthy maid mayhem at the mansion
—>>> Being a maid at the Durand mansion, Piper Billings had her place. She cleans and tries not to break things, and the vampire brothers have their routine down pretty pat, by now. As one of the two humans employed, Piper comes in contact with other vampires, and there just happens to be one in particular named Valentine who seems quiet fixated on Piper, even after an offer to purchase her was turned down. Add to that an impending visit to head-of-the-household Antoine Durand’s sire, which will bring Piper in direct contact with Valentine, the sire’s new favorite son, as one of the surprises that will affect her life just around the corner. This story will continue in the next installment.

Wanted by the Vampires
House of Durand Book 2
Erin Bedford
This was wonderful. You must read book one to read book two, and it picks up right where it left off making you not want to put it down. The characters are all to die for. Piper is amazing as usual with her vampire bosses. Once you start you will not stop until you are done. I need that next book now!!!
Solid 4.5 star
I just loved even though there is some time between the books you fell right back into the story and characters as soon as you start reading. We get to know even more about the Masters and how they came to be but also more about Pipers past and what her family is like. There is a good mix of humor and suspense as well as anticipation about decisions needing to be made and what will come next for all of them.

This is the second book in the ” House of Durand ” series. I’m not sure where to start with this is if you haven’t read the first book in the series you should do that before reading this, This literally picks up where the first book left off. And I thought the first book was hot, the second is hotter. Like sizzling hot. My most used word throughout the book was OMG!!!! I started this book right before my bed time and read it through the night. Finished it bright and early the next morning, No breaks for me. Piper seems to be finding herself more in this book and as I said the guys are the hottest I’ve ever had the pleasure of reading about. Someone please throw a few buckets of ice water over me. I sure need it after reading this. I cant wait for the next book to come out. Hint *Hint * Erin

Emotional, thrilling, sexy, witty and scary adventure filled with so much danger, intrigue and heart pounding twists…. this is a great read that kept me on the edge of my seat and left me breathless for more. Can not wait to continue the journey and find out what will happen next.
Wanted by the Vampires is book two of the House of Durand series and picks up where book one left off. Piper is the maid for the six Durand brothers who also happen to be Vampires. I love how naïve Piper is, her clumsiness and how the Vamps are falling for her. Great storyline, interesting characters, humor, drama, and that ending left me anxiously awaiting the next book in this series.
This was an enjoyable book with hot and steamy chemistry with the characters who were well developed and engaging while the storyline kept me interested till the last page was read.

Fabulous paranormal/fantasy world, I absolutely love this series of books and honestly think that that Erin Bedford couldn’t write a bad book if she tried. The action starts slowly and builds, The characters are well defined early on and blossom throughout the series, you can feel the tension building between the main characters early in the series which develop wonderfully in this book. Very well written storey. There are no cliff hangers as such but each book always leaves you wanting more so be warned though once you start reading this series you won’t be able to put the books down so be prepared for some binge reading.

Amazing 2nd book for the House of Durand series!
Things progresses for Piper now that she knows the Durand brothers secret. As things starts to heat up, Piper must figure a way to hold onto her heart with her growing attraction to the brothers. I couldn’t put this book down once I started reading! There were parts that had me laughing so hard that I had tears running down my face and wanted to pee my pants. The depth and growth of the characters are absolutely fantastic! I love how the story progresses, there’s plenty of action and boy the heated scenes will make you want to fan yourself.
Erin has done a fantastic job with this story and the way it’s leading. I didn’t want it to end and dang it Erin, you better hurry up with the 3rd book, I can’t wait to read it! Stupid cliff hanger. lol

This is a great follow up story and carries on from the first book! I loved the first book and this one is every bit as good. Filled with romance and humour, Piper is back and so is her vampires and I have to admit this had me laughing so hard in places there were tears! Love the storyline, love the characters and the development of their relationship and I can’t wait to read what happens next!
