This was my first book by Amanda Ashley and while I did like it, I was not aware that it was several books into a series.

The characters from other books seemed to be a very central focus which made the storyline a little hard to follow. This was my own fault for not doing more research and I didn’t take any stars off for this.

I was drawn to this book because of the idea of a vampire male virgin and was hoping that would lead to some spicy scenes but unfortunately that was not the case. Other characters in the book had more descriptive sex scenes and when it was time for the Giovanni to finally lose his virginity we only got one sentence.

My other complaint was that a lot of the book focused on Cassies insistence that she not want to be turned and while I can understand breaking that promise, I felt like there should have been more focus on the repercussions of that.

I loved the concept of the story but I was definitely hoping for a bit more steam and build up .
