About this audiobook
Katie Macalister
Growing up in a family where a weekly visit to the library was a given, Katie MacAlister spent much of her time with her nose buried in a book. When she was contracted to write a nonfiction book about software, her editor refused to allow her to include witty dialogue or love scenes, so Katie swiftly resolved to switch to fiction, in which she could indulge in world building, tormenting her characters, and falling madly in love with all her heroes. Her novels have been translated into numerous languages, been recorded as audiobooks, received several awards, and are regulars on the New York Times, USA TODAY, and Publishers Weekly bestseller lists. She also writes for the young adult audience as Katie Maxwell. Katie lives in the Pacific Northwest. You can visit her website at KatieMacAlister.com.

- Rating: 3 out of 5 stars3/5This book is a fun, light read.
Nikola is a sexy, very likable vampire and an excellent leading man for the story. He seems incredibly understanding and flexible in his opinions. He is fiercely loyal.
Iolanthe is an adventurous heroine, although a bit immature. I was shocked when I found out her character was 39. With the dialogue, she appears much more to be in her early 20s if not younger. I thought the dialogue in the story was poor which is where it lost the stars from my point of view. So many cliches and just oddly worded conversation.
I did not at all like Nikola's staff. They were odd to an extreme, not well developed, and just plain annoying.
The plot itself was excellent and cleverly developed. I think the story line was interesting and a few points had be laughing out loud (like when Io ran into Nikola's horse). I loved that the leading characters had the ability to talk in each others' minds and think that added an interesting twist to the story.
The romance was steamy and hot.
Overall while I found the book hard to get into, once I got past the first hundred pages, I found it very enjoyable and difficult to put down. I found myself drawn into the story and wanted to know what would happen with the characters.
Spoiler alert again:
I think the ending was excellent (with the exception that Nikola's brother got to live). I really like the resolution with the characters, with Nikola's children, and with Nikola and Io.
I think this book was a fun light read.
Disclosure: I received this book for free from Goodreads, however this had no impact on my review. I rated the story for the quality with which it was written.
