Francesca
Stewart has never wanted a man as badly as she does Jake Rios. The fact they both
work for the California Governor doesn’t deter her from thinking of ways to
jump his yummy bones. Unfortunately, his apparent disinterest in said jumping
and his complete focus as Head of Security leaves her with just her fantasies.
Until the day he drops the disinterest and lets it be known in no uncertain
terms how very much he does want her, bone jumping and anything else she can
think of.
Jake
Rios is a vampire who needs a mate and soon or bad things will start happening
to him. Luckily, in his bid to reach the Governor, he finds her. Francesca is
his. Now, all he has to do is convince her of that fact. And well, that he’s a
vampire. It shouldn’t be hard, right?
Well-written
and quick-flowing this short gets right down to business. I love the characters
and look forward to reading more about them. I have a feeling that the villain
is going to be one of those guys who you want to hate so much, but he’s not
completely evil. I love those guys. It’s easy to hate a complete blackguard and
cheer for his downfall. Harder to hate one who has bits of grey and maybe even
some white to his character. I’m not saying the big baddie in this book is like
that, it’s just my impression. I can’t wait to read more.
The
different take on vampires is interesting, the steamy scenes are definitely
steamy and I’m curious as to how the baddie is connected to Francesa and why. Although
the ending seemed a bit rushed to me, for a short story it has me hooked and,
so far, I’m intrigued and waiting for the next installment. Bring it on!
