When I was asked by Mrs. Brown to read her book, I took one look at the cover and was sold. Ya it screamed SEXY! This was actually my first historical paranormal erotic romance. So thank you Mrs. Brown for the smile this book left on my face. I have been on a werewolf kick lately, but ummm not anymore. The newest addition to my vampire list is Gabriel. The sexual dominance of this man, my goodness ( LOTS of fanning self moments).
This is Emma and Gabriel's story. Emma is the daughter of a greedy Barron. Since the death of her brother her fathers greed has gotten him in a sticky situation. His only option is to marry Emma off to a mean, cruel,and snake of a man, the Duke. The dislike i had toward Emma's father was well deserved to say the least. I mean seriously you know the type of man the duke is,if he even scares you why would you hand your innocent daughter over to him? Well leaving Emma with no choice ,she runs away with the help of her servant.
Emma has taken a job as a governess for a Earl (Gabriel) who has a very mysterious reputation. He's only seen at night and he only drinks never eats..... umm this should raise some questions. Despite her gut telling her something was off with this whole job situation,she ignored it on more than one occasion. The chemistry between Gabriel and Emma was in your face hot and sexy. Gabriel is a vampire and when I say this man is swoon worthy to the tenth degree both in and out the bedroom, please believe me. Gabriel hasn't been able to feel for anyone in a very long time, that is until Emma shows up. Gabriel in the end shows his love for Emma knows NO limits. He fights to save her life and in a way his own (sigh).
This book is about differences, family, love, healing and passion. One thing I loved about this book was it was in your face BLUNT. There was know guessing this is what's going on. The sex scenes we're amazing. The relationship that Emma and Gabriel built was great. My favorite was the ending of this book, HAPPINESS! Gabriel/Emma both had there own issues/demons. Despite the obstacles /differences between them they found a way to heal each other (sigh).
This was a quick read for me. This book had it all great drama and even better sex scenes. After I finished it, I was left wanting more. Great job Mrs. Brown. I can't wait to read book #2.
*** I was provided an ARC of this book for an honest review.***
