Summary
Family history can be fatal.
Riley Carson Connors is yanked out of Pittsburgh and coaxed to New York by two tall, sexy strangers. Nicholas Sherwood and Damian are the only people in the world who know anything about her parents, and what they know is terrifying. She must face a powerful enemy who killed both her parents, who were the best demon hunters of their era.
But while the truth about Riley’s family history is a powerful magnet, Damian and Nicholas prove to be even more compelling. Former lovers and brought together only because they gave their word to her mother to protect Riley, the two powerful vampires play erotic mind games with her. Each has a hidden sexual agenda that Riley can’t begin to guess, but seems to involve driving her out of her mind with the sort of pleasure only a centuries-old lover would know how to give.
Warning: This story features two super hot alpha vampire heroes, multiple sex scenes, including anal sex, MM sexual play, MMF sex and the use of sex toys. Do not read this book if frank sexual language and sex scenes offend you.
No vampires or demon hunters came to harm in the making of this book. Gargoyles have been added to the official hunt list, however…

Hot sex, too many mind games.
The Good/The Snuggly
I haven't read the first book but I didn't feel like I was missing anything. I enjoyed the interesting supernatural creatures. They were vicious and violent and they were perfect. I also loved the sexual tension that was pumped throughout this novel. I felt like everything had a sexual undertone and it made things so much more interesting. I mean, come on, two sexy vampires vying for your attention, so there!!!
The Bad
In general, this was a decent book but then came the continuous arguments, lectures, and mind games. I just didn't understand what they brought to the table. They dragged the whole book down. And as they progressed, I found myself disliking how immature these characters were. Even though the plot was decent, I started not caring what happened to any of the characters.
Final Thoughts
I was looking for a good erotica, and I did get my yummy sex, but most everything else fell apart. Not recommended.
Quotes
"Does this mean, then I get to keep you both?" she asked cautiously. "I really don't have to choose?"
Damian grinned.
Nicholas' smile made his eye light up.

That's the good thing about erotica, most installments can be read as stand-alones regardless of the series. I'm sorry to hear that the sex didn't outshine the mind games, and that cover is seriously boob-alicious. Wowzer! LOL Happy Friday, Jennifer!
ReplyDeleteLOL, so book-alicious!
Deleteoops *boob
Delete"Hot alpha vampire heroes." That's a description you don't see every day!
ReplyDeletelol, I know!
DeleteThe mind games and the back and forth does sound like it could be on the repetitive side
ReplyDeleteIt really didn't add anything.
Deletelol - So skip to the sex scenes and skim everything else? Okay. :P
ReplyDeleteYup, pretty much!
DeleteAwe, sorry this one wasn't what you were looking for. Hopefully it was worth it at least for the yummy sex. Jaclyn @ JC's Book Haven.

DeleteDang the first half of your review had me excited but the drama sounds awful .
