Publisher's Summary

Dante.

For over 300 years, I’ve waited for fate to deliver my soul mate; the person I’d love for the rest of my life; the one I was destined to protect, to treasure and to cherish. The one to complete me. I never expected to find him dancing like an angel in my nightclub. The moment my eyes gazed upon his beauty, my heart was gone. The most mesmerizing thing about him were his eyes; he had the biggest, roundest doe eyes I’d ever seen. They were an enchanting shade of blue; the exact color of the Mediterranean Sea. When I looked into those eyes, I was home.

The problem? Ben is human and knows nothing of vampires or our culture. His anxious nature and pure heart give me pause in divulging my true identity. Will he believe what I have to tell him? Can he ever accept what I’ve done; what I need to do? Can someone so sweet and innocent ever see me as anything but a monster? Time is running out for me to claim my mate as I grow weaker every day.

Ben.

The nightclub really isn’t my scene. I’m more of a book-reading, star-gazing nerd at heart. However, I allow my best friend to drag me out one night (at nine o’clock, I might add) because I can’t resist his puppy dog expression, and he knows it. There, I find the sexiest man I’ve ever seen; tall, strong, and with a sultry Spanish accent that turns my insides to goo. We hit it off immediately, but I’m worried; how can this wealthy, powerful man be attracted to boring little me? The most exciting thing about me is that I know how to ballroom dance, and that’s only because I took lessons with my grandma! I’ve got no experience with men, and hundreds of different worries are always battling in my mind.

Can Dante accept me as I am and maybe bring a little excitement into my life?

This low angst, instalove M/M paranormal romance has danger, lots of steam, no cliff-hangers or cheating, and a very happy HEA. It contains a sexy Spaniard vampire, his anxious little love, and a hilarious (if not insufferable) best friend.

Eh~

The best thing about this story is that it is exactly what it sounds like; a superficial and sakran sweet romance that without the 'fated mats' aspect would be a borderline abusive and controlling relationship. I found it cliche and one-dimensional and while curiosity makes me want to know what happens to the other characters in the next book I'm not sure if I could sit through another one of these any time soon.

The narrator was really good though and I would listen to him again.

Something went wrong. Please try again in a few minutes.
