Aaargh! So much potential in this story -- dashed because of the abrasive and unlikable heroine and her ridiculous dialogue.Even after Jolie Pritchard, a medieval studies major, learned that the gorgeous, kilt-wearing duke wooing her was a 400+ year old vampire, she continued to use all manner of modern-speak idioms that were incomprehensible to him. On the rare occasions that she explained them, it was in a rushed, snide manner that has the reader envisioning a tossed head and rolling eyes. Besides being obnoxious, this is inconsistent with someone having so much appreciation for his culture that she traveled overseas to pursue her medieval studies education.No doubt this was intended to be snarky humor, but it really missed the mark, instead coming across as insensitive rudeness. This continues throughout the story and ruined it IMHO.*Knight after Night* get two stars (instead of one) because Jackie Ivie did some interesting world building, and our antihero, Thoran Alexander MacKettryck, is swoon worthy in both manner and appearance. I wouldn't mind reading more about him if it was with a more sympathetic and better developed heroine.
