Have you ever wanted to date a vampire?Human women required. Must be enthusiastic about interactions with vampires. Must be willing to undergo a stringent medical exam. Must be prepared to sign a contractual agreement which would include a non-disclosure clause. Limited positions available…

York has always wanted a female of his very own. One to love and care for. One who will love him in return. More than anything he wants a family…he longs to hear the sound of children’s laughter filling his home. It is his deepest desire. Since most vampire females are not able to birth young, a program is started to ensure the continuation of the vampire species. The vampire elite must fight, fist and fang, for a much sought after place in the program and a chance to date human women. There are a multitude of beautiful human females in attendance. They have been handpicked to ensure that they are irresistible to vampire males. Why is it then that York wants the one female he can’t have?

When Cassidy is selected for the trial phase of the program, she is ecstatic. This is the break she’s been waiting for. Her job is to root out any vampires with bloodlust. She’s quaking in her boots because she could end up dead. This position certainly isn’t for sissies. Thing is, it’s only three days of her life. All she needs to do is to allow a few of them to drink from her and survive long enough to get paid. Then she’s home free. Besides, she quit her job in order to be here so she so doesn’t have any other options available to her. Three days…pity one times big, badass vampire is determined to get in the way of her plans.

The story contains mature themes/language.

Reader Reviews

A fantastic read from beginning to end!

Clearly, this book was written with the intent to make me lose sleep! Charlene Hartnady has got to be the most diabolical dream weaver ever. The conflict in the story is eternal. What wouldn't you do for money if you were alone and your life sucked? Cassidy, the leading lady in the story, is there and she makes choices that are understandable. I loved the twist about the blood lust. I completely fell in love with York. The whole elimination sequence was real to me. The rich characterizations...

Rated X

The book was good. It had a good premise, and the characters were likable. The ending seemed odd, rushed, kinda corny. It was just off a bit. *This book is rated X. More than 50% of the book is about spice. When spice isn't happening, it is being thought about, talked about, or dreamed about. There is very mild violence. The F word and other strong language are used often. ) One person found this helpful

I need more of these vampires!

I have to admit that I don't like cliffhangers. BUT I did not see this book ending in that manner. Ms. Hartnady, wrote a truly lovely, and honest love story. And I really dislike spoilers, so I will try to keep it short and sweet. York fell in love with Cass, for the person that she is, he loves her curves, her eyes and the cute freckles on her nose. Her scent is sunshine to him. He found his mate. His ONCE in a life time mate!! That is what matters, at least to me. I was thrilled for them. Yes...

It's okay, mostly sex scenes and very short book
