Once Burned (Night Prince, #1)

by Jeaniene Frost

After a tragic accident scarred her body and destroyed her dreams, Leila never imagined that the worst was still to come: terrifying powers that let her channel electricity and learn a person's darkest secrets through a single touch. Leila is doomed to a life of solitude...until creatures of the night kidnap her, forcing her to reach out with a telepathic distress call to the world's most infamous vampire...Vlad Tepesh inspired the greatest vampire legend of all - but whatever you do, don't call him Dracula. Vlad's ability to control fire makes him one of the most feared vampires in existence, but his enemies have found a new weapon against him - a beautiful mortal with powers to match his own. When Vlad and Leila meet, however, passion ignites between them, threatening to consume them both. It will take everything that they are to stop an enemy intent on bringing them down in flames.

Really enjoyed this story. Vlad's character was very interesting in Cat and Bones's books and I didn't know what sort of woman would suit him. I love Leila and couldn't have picked a more perfect match.

Leila is human with some very special powers and baddies want to use her. Vlad and Leila meet under difficult circumstances and there is an instant draw to each other.

Some things made me chuckle and some made me gasp but the connection between the two of them was the best part of the story.

The two of them work well together...most of the time, and I can't wait to read more of their adventures.
