I really didn't like this book.





A book that I didn't like. Will wonders ever cease?


Seriously, I really didn't like this book. It seemed...rushed. There really wasn't a back story (other than Ravin's parents being killed by vampires and Nikolaus being a neurosurgeon who had brain cancer).


The sex scenes seemed really contrived. Ravin went from being an unwilling participant (only giving in because Nikolaus drank a love potion...which screams rape to me...but hey, I didn't write the book) to falling in love with him and getting pregnant...all within 3 weeks.


Plus, there was a fair share of domestic abuse in this book. She beats on him (when she finds out he drank the love potion) and he almost kills her when the love potion breaks. Not really my cup of tea.


I gave this book a 2 star on Shelfari. Not only will I not read this book again, but I will not recommend it to my friends to read.

Different concept on the vampire/witch relationship but of course being a Harlequin book it's not like there is a ton of true plot to be found. For a free read it's decent enough, and there were times where I didn't want to step away from it but overall it was just alright.
It's a pretty good Harlequin novel though.
