I enjoyed this book immensely. I read it one day because I couldn't put it down. It had a huge amount of sexual tension because the main character, Shannah, was a virgin and Ronan being a vampire who's from a different century would not deflower her.
The story begins with the back story of Shannah. She's in her twenties and is dying of a rare disease. She has a few days perhaps a few weeks left to live. During one of her outings at night she see's a man leaving a movie theater late at night and believing he's a vampire she follows him. From then on she follows him daily and learns his living habits for weeks. She learns that he's never goes out during the day. He never leaves to get food and food is never delivered. After days of trying to build up her courage she knocks on his door during the day, believing that if he answers he's not a vampire and if he doesn't answer then he's a vampire. He answers the door and apologizes and while trying to leave she trips and falls and cuts her head. While unconscious Ronan goes back in to retrieve a cape and get's her inside and places her in one of his upstairs bedroom to rest.
Shannah awakens during the day and Ronan having expected this had food delivered for her to make for herself. At night he emerges and after spending some time with her, he asks her to stay. Spending time with her is difficult because her blood calls to him. He begins to like her, which is amazing since he'd stopped associating with humans centuries before.
He learns about her disease and attempts to lengthen her life by giving her some of his blood to strengthen her. He knows it's temporary, but with every day he spends with her he can't seem to let her go.
I wont give away the plot in the story. I will say that toward the end of the story after she's abducted her desires catches up with her and Ronan rescues her only to find her unconscious. He has to decide weather to let her go or to turn her in order to save her. Her choices up that point are direct with regards to what she wants, still it's up to Ronan at the last moment weather or not he's willing to let her go.
It's a heart stopping moment that tugged at my heart. Ronan having fallen in love with the first woman in his entire existence see's ready to let go. But sensing the fear and reluctance in Shannah is hard for him as well.
