About this book
Rook Slater is a man of few words and even fewer social graces. By day, he works a grueling shift as a garbage man, but when the sun sets, this brooding vampire trades his neon vest for the hockey rink and a life spent in the shadows. He is perfectly content keeping the world at a distance until a sudden, violent pull of destiny changes everything. The moment he lays eyes on Kylie Moon, the fated-mate bond ignites, marking her as his in a way he cannot ignore.
This is not a gentle courtship; it is a dark, high-stakes collision of worlds. Kylie possesses a rare, coveted bloodline that makes her a target for the most dangerous monsters in the city. As elite predators circle in the darkness, Rook realizes that claiming his mate means declaring war. He is a grumpy, possessive protector who refuses to play by anyone’s rules, and he is more than happy to get his hands dirty to keep her safe.
If you are looking for a gritty paranormal romance that balances intense chemistry with lethal action, this is your next obsession. Max Monroe delivers a gripping start to a new series that perfectly blends the grumpy-sunshine dynamic with pulse-pounding supernatural suspense. Prepare to be hooked by this brutal, devoted vigilante who will burn the world down to protect what is his.

Wow—I wasn’t sure I could handle another vampire romance, but Max Monroe completely delivered with Rook Slater and Kylie Moon’s fast-paced, fated mates love story. Rook might be the grumpiest vampire ever—a garbage collector by day and a hockey player by night. The moment he sees Kylie, he knows they’re destined to be together. Kylie, however, is unaware of the supernatural world around her—or her highly coveted bloodline that’s sought after by powerful, elite vampires. As danger begins to...

Listen, I love vampire romances; they’re easily my most-read type of book. And I love Max Monroe romances; I’ve read many of them and I’ve enjoyed them all. Naturally, I was excited when Max and Monroe announced they were writing a vampire romance.

Garbage Man was definitely unique within the paranormal romance space. Many...

I have loved everything Max Monroe has ever written, but when I saw this included vampires, I wasn’t sure what to expect, not my typical go to or genre. In fact it’s the first book I’ve read with a vampire plot. But true to their form it’s funny but romantic. You can’t help but fall for Rook. Can’t wait to read Kane’s and Calloway’s stories. ) One person found this helpful
