Colburn Cay is a vampire living a dashing
lifestyle of parties and one-night stands. He’s in high demand as a fashionable
party guest.
Felix Davidson is a vampire with a
reputation as a prude; he’s the guest of honor at his birthday party—an event
put on by his sister at their Savannah mansion. Maria is determined to keep
holding dinner parties until Felix meets his mate.
The book opens as the guests socialize
before dinner. Colburn meets Felix, and when they shake hands, each experiences
a jolt of attraction, opening the way for them to recognize each other as
mates.
The story wanders along, with little in the
way of suspense or surprises. Felix and Colburn come off as two-dimensional;
the reader learns little about them other than the fact that they’re vampires
and they’re fated to be mates.
The dinner is overshadowed by Felix’s rude
neighbor Mrs. Robinson. Throughout the story, it never became clear what
purpose this character serves. From stroking her husband off at the dinner
table to propositioning Felix and Colburn, she adds a distracting and lewd
presence which detracts from the plot.
Felix and Colburn leave the party in the
middle of dinner. This pulled me out of the story—it seemed too implausible.
The intimate encounters are erotic, but not exceptionally drawn.
Fear of an encore by Mrs. Robinson and not
being drawn into the story left me lukewarm about the read.
This is an objective review and not an endorsement of this book.
