Publisher's summary

Vampire bachelor Samson can't get it up anymore. Not even his shrink can help him. That changes when the lovely mortal auditor Delilah tumbles into his arms after a seemingly random attack. Suddenly there's nothing wrong with his hydraulics - that is, as long as Delilah is the woman in his arms.

His scruples about taking Delilah to bed vanish when his shrink suggests it's the only way to cure his problem. Thinking all he needs is one night with her, Samson indulges in a night of pleasure and passion.

However, another attack on Delilah and a dead body later, and Samson has his hands full: not only with trying to hide the fact he's a vampire, but also with finding out what secrets Delilah harbors for somebody to want her harm.

Good Vamp romance :D

3-3.5 stars

This was a good story. I liked Samson & Delilah...the name pairing was a bit cliche but I liked the characters themselves.

Delilah is a forensic accountant that is in town working a job. She's a good woman but travels a lot for her job so she's rather lonely. While getting dinner she's attacked and ends up on Samson's doorstep and then mistaken for a stripper. Regardless of their less than stellar first meeting she's attracted to Samson.

Samson is having some issues with getting an erection but when Delilah stumbles through his door and in to his arms his problem is suddenly gone. Samson is thrilled but quickly realizes that his problem is only solved with Delilah. When his shrink says to sleep with her he finds that one time will never be enough.

I liked Samson and Delilah and the intrigue that causes danger to Delilah was interesting. There were parts that weren't perfect (maybe a little annoying at the character's stupidity) but I was happy with the way they came together though. I enjoyed this story and thought the ending was very good.

Terrible narration of a fabulous story

This is one of my favorite Tina Folsom books. I had been terribly disappointed with the narration, however. Please save this one for the book format and listen to your own inner voice narration. The story itself is perfect, fun, thrilling, mysterious and romantic!

Predictable but enjoyable

Any additional comments?

This book was fairly predictable however I still enjoyed it. It reminded me of the Black Dagger brotherhood series but a lot tamer. It will be interesting to see if the author takes the same path, it is looking that way. Even though there are similarities it is still worthwhile listening to.

A positive surprise :-)

This book was positive surprise Great story and I can't wait for the rest of the series to come out on audio:-)

Win Win Win

This is a great book, and like others reviews have mentioned, that in itself was quite a surprise. The books humour is quirky, the pacing is almost perfect and the characters are wonderful. The sex scenes are steamy without being over the top. The narration was excellent.

All in all, one of the best vampire/paranormal romances I've ever listened to, and I've listened to plenty of them. Two thumbs up! This book is a winner!

Great Book!!

What made the experience of listening to Samson's Lovely Mortal the most enjoyable?

I have this ebook.. was happy to see that Tina had made it a Audio book... I can not wait for the restof the series to come out!!

Good

Would you try another book from Tina Folsom and/or Kevin Foley?

Yes, it was good.

Would you be willing to try another book from Tina Folsom? Why or why not?

I enjoyed it even if its predictable. I'll be willing to try others because it kept my attention.

Any additional comments?

I would not use a credit, but I got it cheap, so I won't complain. It didn't sweep me away but it was interesting. For a light, predictable listen at a good price you can't beat it.

Loved it! Can't wait for the rest of the series!

I really liked the story and hope that the rest of the series comes out on Audible very soon!!!

Touch of humor with great characters

If you could sum up Samson's Lovely Mortal in three words, what would they be?

funny romantic straight-forward

Who was your favorite character and why?

Samson's friends. You were able to get little glimpses into them as people and it made it for a much stronger set of secondary characters.

Which character – as performed by Kevin Foley – was your favorite?

Ricky - I loved the way that Kevin Foley did his accent. It was always very distinctive and humorous. He had great lines.
