About this book
- [x]
At forty-five, Vivian should have it all together.
Instead, she’s failing in her leadership role, the young women she mentors seem to hate her, and her ex-husband refuses to respect boundaries when it comes to their son.
So when the stress becomes too much, she throws on her nightgown, robe, and bonnet for a late-night run to a sketchy gas station—just to grab a bottle of cheap wine and clear her head.
But her bad night gets worse when she stumbles onto a deadly operation.
Enter Mr. Tall, Dark, and Dangerous, who saves her.
Marquis' touch ignites something in Vivian, something she thought was long gone.
The two share a passionate one-night affair—or so Vivian thinks.
But Marquis wants much more from her.
When she tries to shut him down, he refuses to be just a fling.
Because he’s not just a man. And when it comes to her, he will not take no for an answer.
Now, Vivian has to decide—will she let the differences between them keep them apart, or will she be his… eternally?

I absolutely loved this book. The slow burn was done in such a satisfying way that it never felt like it was dragging. It felt intentional. Even though you go into it knowing it’s a vampire romance, Melody still keeps the reveal close to her chest and delivers it at exactly the right moment. That buildup? Worth it. It made everything land so much harder when the truth finally came out. What really stood out to me, though, was how grounded the story felt. I felt like I genuinely got to know the...

I love paranormal books and romance so this book was a give in for me. It was a sweet story. Relatable being that I'm a soon to be 45 year old mother that's dealt with a broken marriage and trying to find myself. I'm still discovering parts of me and unlike Vivian, I haven't met my young vampire (yet). LOL! So I understood her feelings and struggles and doubts. I thought it was sweet that Marquis handled her with such care and consideration. Despite their hard times, he remained respectful. If...

This book was filled with action and lots of Drama...l.ol The main character struggled with heartache 💔 and disrespect from employees. I am a fan of Melody Lynch she does not disappoint with her writing the characters are always worth getting to know their stories. )

This book had so much potential. It was refreshing from the books I normally read, but the author just didn’t bring the story into full circle for me. Everything was surface level not enough character depth or development. I would’ve loved to know more about the conflict between brothers or a little more about the relationship w. Natalia. Overall the book was a decent read but I wouldn’t reread or recommend. ) One person found this helpful

First of all, Melody Lynch can do no wrong. Second, I love an older woman / younger man romance… even if the younger man is a vampire. Vivian is 45, stressed out, and having one of those nights where life is just lifing. She has on a moo moo, and a satin bonnet, and runs to a gas station for a bottle of cheap wine… and somehow ends up stumbling into danger. Enter Marquis. Tall. Dangerous. Persistent. And, of course, that BDE. When I tell you this man had zero cares that Vivian showed up in a...
