Paranormal Romance

Thirty years before, Reign and Olivia found a love that seemed ever-lasting, and decided to share their remaining days as husband and wife. And then Reign did the un-thinkable: he bit into his new wife and made her into an unwilling vampire. Shocked, betrayed and horrified, Olivia abandoned her husband and learned to make a new life for herself. And each day, her husband’s betrayal and memory faded ever so slightly from her mind.

But freedom from Reign was not to be. When Olivia’s nephew, James, was kidnapped and the ransom demanded was that of her estranged husband, Olivia has little choice but to confront her personal demon. And convincing Reign to help her save her nephew would be difficult. Conning a 600 year old vampire is close to impossible.

But Reign has also never forgotten his beloved wife. And though thirty years has passed, his attraction has not dimmed. Perhaps this adventure is fortuitous; the time needed to win back his wife is at hand.

Olivia finds Reign as irresistible as ever, so keeping him in the dark about the kidnappers wish to trade her nephew for Reign is difficult. But she will trade him, won’t she? Reign can surely take care of himself, and betrayal is fair turn-around…

A fabulous novel! I loved the dynamic between Olivia and Reign. It was sexy, engaging and thrilling. The story was wonderfully written and impossible to put down! The description of vampire life was somewhat generic, but wonderfully described. I also loved subtle hints as to other sequels occurring in the background. I am already intrigued as to the next novel! This is definitely an author to read if you love vampire stories!
