"Night Pleasures" is a fun read. Kyrian of Thrace is a Dark-Hunter - one who kills vampires who prey on humans. He wakes up one day handcuffed to what he calls his "worst nightmare", Amanda Devereaux. She looks conservative, dressed in a button-down shirt, buttoned all the way up to her chin. As he gets to know her, he finds her smart, sexy, and witty. However, she wants nothing to do with the paranormal which includes him.

Little does he know that Amanda comes from a family of 8 girls where she is the youngest and the only one not involved with the paranormal. All her sisters are either witches, forture-tellers, vampire-hunters, and such. Thus Amanda's attire and strivings to be as conservative as possible.

Meanwhile, Kyrian has some super evil god after him that he has to not only kill but protect Amanda from. To make matters worse, Amanda's twin is a vampire-hunter who's determined to kill Kyrian thinking he's one of the evil vampires, a Damian, instead of a Dark Hunter. As Amanda starts falling in love with Kyrian, she gets more involved in his battles, including the one with her sister.

Kyrian started falling in love with Amanda shortly after he met her. But he's afraid to get involved because he became a Dark Hunter because of his first wife's betrayal a couple of thousand years ago.

There's lots of suspense and plenty of humor underlying the plot. I loved the characters, especially Amanda with her ability to take things in stride and her compassionate nature.
