I'm a huge Evangeline Anderson fan and was very excited to get my hands on book one of her new series. I have to say though, I had trouble getting into it. It took me several pages before it really caught my attention, and even then I found myself beyond frustrated on several occasions with Addison.Corbin is your no-so-typical vampire. While he is still strong, possessive, and arrogant, he is also, kind, patient, and deep down has a good, yet scared soul. He definitely serves to make the female reader swoon and wish he was hers.Addison on the other hand is very determined, bold and strong minded. She has a deep seated need to protect a friend she feels responsible for, and a strong honor when it comes to her duty as a officer. She had the makings of a great character, it was just her constant denial, and blatant refusal for what was good for her, and everyone else, that rubbed me the wrong way. I understand fully that in order to convey her distaste for vampires she needed to be stubborn and outspoken. But I feel that it was a bit over kill and it made scenes where she caused issues, and her inward chatter, hard to get through because you just come to dislike her.There were parts in the book when Addison and Corbin were talking, or were he was having to convince her, that the book reminded me of dialog between the two main characters in one of my favorite Evangeline Anderson books, Deal With The Devil. Of course, had I not have read it five times I might not have noticed, lol.In sort, the writing was spectacular, as we have come to expect with this author. She never fails to dazzle us with both stories that grab your attention, and bold characters that jump right off the page. I may have been annoyed with the heroine, but I fully intend to read the next in the series, as well as anything else from Mrs. Anderson for that matter.
