Beautifully told, a lovely mix of historical romance and a great vampire story. Would read again.

I am a big fan of Ms. Hunter's (and I guess we have to be disappointed sooner or later) but this love story felt cold to me. Alexia just seemed so matter-of-fact about everything almost to the point of robotic. To little, if any emotion.

And I really disliked that Hayden's honorable deeds are never brought to light to anyone other than Alexia. Several main characters hate him and his public image remains tarnished. Maybe Lord Elliott's story will be back on track. =)

I enjoyed this book thoroughly. M.Hunters medievals were always excellent, but her regency era books seem to live up to that precedent. There is plenty of character and relationship building in this story.

Until Hayden Rothwell takes her to bed. When one impulsive act of passion forces Alexia to marry the very man who has ruined her, Hayden's seduction of Alexia is nearly complete.

excellent book a tad slow in getting started but take an extra minute to read more then all of a sudden you are hooded the biggest surprise comes in the last 80 or so pages when everything you think is truth is turned upside down and turned around a thoroughly enjoyable read highly reccomend it
