In book 2 of the Scanguard Vampires series, Amaury is cursed to feel the emotions of others, and it causes him extreme pain. The only way to find a little temporary peace is to have sex with whoever is willing, so he’s gained the reputation of a sexoholic among his friends.
Nina blames her brother’s death on the vampires he worked for. She’s a tough woman and ties Amaury up in knots, quite literally. To him, she’s different from anyone he’s ever met. He’s calm and at peace in her presence, no sex needed, but they certainly do have a lot of it.
I loved the way the H/h bickered with one another. Their trust and self-esteem issues often interfered with their budding relationship, but they fit well together as both friends and as lovers once they finally let down their guard. I sympathized with and liked both the characters.
The sex scenes are super hot but long. The story could use an edit to minimize the telling. Sometimes more than one person talked in the same paragraph, which led to confusion. There were so many people and so much going on in the final battle scene that I couldn’t visualize it.
Overall, I like this story and plan to read more in the series.

Started off good. Then it became repetitive and lost its edge. The characters never really became dynamic nor compelling. The plot seemed a bit chaotic. Even the erotic parts were repetitive and a bit boring.
The potential was there, but it never really developed into anything. I am still undecided about the series. I remember liking 'Samson's Lovely Mortal' & when I ran into this book I was excited to read it. Now I am even more unsure about it. ( )

I tried to read this book a few times and ended up stopping both times. I guess third time was the charm because I really enjoyed this romance. I liked both the characters and thought they made a great pair. The secondary characters add to the story and make you want to know more and more about this world. Fun book! ( )

Disappointing - nowhere near as good as the first book in the series. I had been looking forward to Amaury's story, as he seemed a dark, conflicted character when introduced in the first book, but this was very bland - not much tension in the story, and the characters weren't particularly interesting. In hopes that book 3 is more like book 1, I'll give it a try... ( )
