Vampire Christian Moore has spent his entire life, both human and immortal, fighting for the respect of his peers. He has codes that he lives by. Strict moral codes; both in his personal life and his work. And he doesn’t break them. Ever. Until a witch’s curse forces him to spend his nights searching for females to seduce, or suffer the consequences. In a vain attempt to ease the agony of fighting the needs of his flesh, he finds himself far from home and at the carnal mercy of a woman with eyes like the midday sky and hair the colors of a summer sunset. His craving for her is all-consuming, and watching her dance makes his blood burn like acid in his veins. But he can’t not watch her.
When she was fifteen, Ryan Moss lost her mind. Or at least that’s what the voices in her head want her to believe. Afraid of being locked up for life, she runs from her home and the ones that she loves. A year later, on the streets of Tijuana, she finds something that makes the voices go away. And to get it, she’s ashamed to admit, she’ll do just about anything. Scraped off the street by the shady owners of an adult club, Ryan is forced to strip for a man she can’t see or hear. But she can sense his raging need for her even through the haze of her high, and her body responds with a hunger all its own. To be with him, she must chance the one thing she fears losing the most: Her sanity.
Her blood calls to him, and although he’s determined to resist her, Christian’s body betrays him. He must make a choice, and he’d better make the correct one. For unbeknownst to him, both of their lives depend on it.
I was gifted this book in exchange for an honest review.
This installment is about Christian and Ryan and focuses on their addictions.
Christian is a vampire cursed to forever hunger for a woman’s touch. Ryan is a stripper who uses heroin to drown the voices that keep screaming at her.
I felt the story did drag on a bit sometimes and Ryan was always poised to run. She saw no way out of her addiction. Christian was having a hard time understanding his need for Ryan and if it was only his addiction.
Together they helped each other.
Quite a bit of action. Not much steam and i think it could have done with more. Easy to follow the story line even though i hadn’t read the others in the series. Nice steady flow throughout most of the book.
Looking forward to reading the previous releases and book 5.
