Publisher's summary

Have you ever wanted to date a vampire? Human women required. Must be enthusiastic about interactions with vampires. Must be willing to undergo a stringent medical exam. Must be prepared to sign a contractual agreement which would include a non-disclosure clause. Limited positions available....

York has always wanted a female of his very own. One to love and care for. One who will love him in return. More than anything he wants a family...he longs to hear the sound of children's laughter filling his home. It is his deepest desire.

Since most vampire females are not able to birth young, a program is started to ensure the continuation of the vampire species. The vampire elite must fight, fist and fang, for a much sought after place in the program and a chance to date human women. There are a multitude of beautiful human females in attendance. They have been handpicked to ensure that they are irresistible to vampire males. Why is it then that York wants the one female he can't have?

When Cassidy is selected for the trial phase of the program, she is ecstatic. This is the break she's been waiting for. Her job is to root out any vampires with bloodlust. She's quaking in her boots because she could end up dead. This position certainly isn't for sissies. Thing is, it's only three days of her life. All she needs to do is to allow a few of them to drink from her and survive long enough to get paid. Then she's home free. Besides, she quit her job in order to be here so she so doesn't have any other options available to her. Three days...pity one big, badass vampire is determined to get in the way of her plans.

Shaking My Head

There just wasn't much to the story except a bunch of sex scenes strung together by a very flat story. It could have been more than it was and I was disappointed. The narrators were wonderful, but they just didn't have much to work with. Amanda Ronconi is narrating under the name Amber Black, which is the best thing I can say about it. With the male character telling the woman she has great mammary glands, that pretty much ruined the story for me.

Paranormal Erotica

This could habe been a very interesting story, but is a little immature and has too much sex to be called a romance, and rhey fall in love because they have sex. That's not how romance works. You don't fall in love because of sex, good sex comes when you are in love amd well suited together. Then she tried to deny she's in love when he says it to her because they "hardly know each other". And what person on Earth doesn't know what going into heat means? It's an erotica masquerading as romance and what could have been a very good story. You want an amazing adult vampire romance series? Read the Black Dagger Brotherhood by JR Ward. Want a great YA vampire romance series? Read Vampire Acadamy by Richelle Mead. Both have action, romance, drama and an amazing story.

THIS IS MY KIND OF AUDIBLE BOOK!!!

Any additional comments?

If you follow me and love love love books that I have love you will love it. I would have liked a little more back story on Cassidy and York but this is my kind of book. I love when a male must have the female. I love the hot dirty sex and dirty talk. I like it dirty and hot😒😝😝😝 Really Good Listen. Enjoy

Well damn!!!!!

I bought this book based off of a review and I have to say that it was a great listen. I love the sound of Lance Greenfield voice. It was a total surprise and just the way that York spoke was insanely sexy. I was having hot flashes while listening to this book. I am really looking forward to the other books in the series

Just can't stay away.

This was a pretty good story. York fell for the human that was not in the breeding program. He is told to stay away from her but just can't. He knows she is the one for him. He will get her no matter what it takes. The only problem i had with this book was too much sex. I like a balance between romance and action. I would have liked to have seen some action with maybe clashes with the organizations that were against the breeding program. Other than that it was pretty good. I look forward to reading Gideon.

The narrator was great. They both did a wonderful job with the voices.

cute

This is a cute book. I listened to this book while at work, it was entertaining and kept me interested. It does lack BIG drama so if that is what you're looking for this is not the book for you. If you're looking for something light and sexy give it a try. every one that walked past my office asked why I had a big goofy smile on my face while staring at the computer screen!!!

Sexy Vamps

This is an awesome listen about Vampires that have to enlist human females into a breeding program. The head of the elite guard York falls in love fast with a widowed 30 yr old. I'm glad I took a chance on this new paranormal romance. The narration was also excellent. Well worth the credit. On to the next book!!

5 Sexy Stars!

This was a very enjoyable 5 Sexy stars read. The story held my interest and the characters were likable. I do wished the story was a little longer and we got to find out more about York and Cassidy. I can't wait to read book 2.

Loved the book. the narrirators did fantastic.

Loved the book. The narrirators did a fantastic job at reading each character. please read more books by Charlene Hartenney.

Great Paranormal Romance

Earlier this year, I read The whole series and really enjoyed it. After I finished, I messaged Charlene if she was considering putting her books to audio, so I was happy to see this book when it popped up in Audible.

Hardnandy create an interesting world between alpha vampires and Human. As with many paranormal romance books, the vampires or shape shifters are very alive. Unfortunately, due to the the body chemistry of their female vampires, the vampire kings must look towards human females to mate with their warrior male vampires in order to preserve their race. York is their top warrior who falls in love with a forbidden human female, but is willing to risk everything to be with her. Even though their relationship starts off purely sexual, it does not take long before sex and love collide. The romance or sex science are pretty steamy but still fairly vanilla in this book as compared to some of Hardnandy''s other books.

The best thing about this audio book was the narrators. I was so please with both the male and female narrator because they did such an excellent job alternating their voices and making the dialog sound real. Both did a fantastic job on all levels. if you like paranormal romance, then this is worth the purchase.

Awesome Book

Utterly Fantastic Storyline. I've Read Them All By One. Which Is On My Next To Do List. Highly Recommended For Vampire /Shifter Romance Fans Everywhere. Only One Problem Once You Start Reading You Will Be Unable To Stop Until You've Read Them All. Highly Addictive Read With Non Stop Action.

Extension of the Chosen Series

Wonderful story of one of the Elite vampires who are given the chance to find their mate in the Programe, human woman are given the chance to have their blood taken, live in the castle , an a chance to find a vampire of their dreams, great story that includes the vampire kings, and includes very hot an sexy vampires, who are all looking for their mates.

Good Read

I enjoyed this book but felt it was dragged out in some of the chapters,I do like my vamp/shifter books but hate when authors pad out chapters with unnecessary actions but don't let that stop you from enjoying this book

a good read

I enjoyed this book was similar to other vampire books but had it's own spin on the story which made it different but similar at the same time I liked the strong female character all the was trough as I like that in these types of books (as I don't like reading a book with a strong female character then half way through they seem to submit then need the man to do everything for them an turn whine) would definitely recommend
