Publisher's summary

“It was as if my life had been marked by her absence…” Sensual, dangerous, provocative—step into a daring new world of dark magic, primal attraction, and breathtaking romance. Julian Rousseaux has a problem. He's single, and for the world's wealthiest vampires, the social season is about to begin. Julian would rather stake himself than participate in the marriage market. But as the eldest, eligible Rousseaux he's expected to find a wife before the season ends—whether he likes it or not. When cellist Thea literally stumbles into his life at a gala, he knows she's the last person he could ever fall in love with. She's too innocent, too kind, and way too human. But now that she knows about his world, she's also a walking target. She needs protection. He needs a fake girlfriend to discourage overzealous vampire matchmaking. So, Julian makes Thea an irresistible offer: pretend to be his lover and he'll change her life. For one year, they'll attend the season's social events together in exchange for his protection and a way out of her mother's crippling medical debt. She can't say no. But the vampire world is impossibly decadent and darker than Thea ever imagined, and Julian's filthy rich vampire family wants her out of the way. But with each moment they share, new dangers emerge: a desire as forbidden as their stolen touches, an awakening of a long-dead heart, and secrets that could tear them both apart.

AN OUTSTANDING FANGED FANTASY.. but cliffhangers

A large percentage of books in my library are vampire romances.. and now, amongst the very top of the list, is this fang-freaking-tastic fantasy with phenomenal world-building that takes you from a chance encounter to matched mates. However, their rollercoaster is going to be 4 or 5 books long so be warned. So far, it’s been action-packed, challenging, suspenseful, mysterious, high risk and is steered by love vs. evil intention. It’s packed with chemistry and hunger, resolve and revelations, vampire lores, Rites and loopholes, fun and ugliness, bravery and betrayal.. and beauty and undying love. Thea and Julian battled the instant pull to their forbidden romance.. a mortal 22 yo virgin Cellist and a 900+ yo vampire Lord headed for a marriage mart he didn’t want to participate in. However.. (blissful sigh).. however, the heartache, yearning, alpha possessiveness, shared magic, protectiveness, mated bond, heartbreak, mayhem, danger, twists and turns and shocking revelations all lead to very different vows.

Worth a credit? Yes, books 1 and 2 have been incredibly addictive with non-stop action, swoons, romance and much much more.. and Stella and Teddy were the perfect fit to bring the heart flutters, the drama, the feels and the characters to life. Love these characters and I can’t wait for the next instalment of their love story.
