Amanda Ashley has created a wonderfully memoriable book. I have enjoyed all of her Vampire books because the Vampire is not an evil being who kills for pleasure as well as need. Her vampire heros are all tortured souls that have consciences. Gabriel is that vampire.

not much of a plot. More of a love story with an incidental vampire subplot.

Although this book initially seems to be the typical suffering, angst-ridden vampire meets and falls in love with innocent girl story... this book has some unusual twists that make it different from most vampire novels.

The vampire really truly does try to resist his need for the girl. Allowing her to develop a fulfilled life of her own before claiming her. This makes her choices even more meaningful in that she gave so much up to be with him.

This is the only vampire book where the vampire actually lives with his mortal wife through her mortal life and death. Where she ages normally and dies while he remains "forever youthful" yet he loves her to the end. Most stories give this as only an option that is just not acceptable to most vampires and often not acceptable to their loves as well. Again, evidence that the characters in this book are stronger than most. She holds to her wish to remain mortal and her respects that.

The final twist is one I will leave for the reader to discover as I have spoiled enough of the plot!

One of Amanda Ashley's better works. I recommend it to anyone who loves romance, historical, modern and vampire types.
