Review: A Great Paranormal Romance in Installments
Rating: 4 out of 5

This review will cover the first 2 installments in this delightfully entertaining series which according to the author will consist of 5 or 6 books to be released approximately every 60 days so the reader won't be waiting 6 month or more for a release.In Ward of the Vampire we were introduced to the main characters in this continuing story.  Angelina has worked for Delilah for 5 years and has done many strange things for her without question ... at least she thinks she never questioned them.Miss Delilah is the sister of Ward Morgan (the requisite billionaire we seem to see all too often these days in PNR) and has seen something in Angelina that she believes will be of equal interest to Morgan (the obvious "Ward" of these titles in case you were dropped on your head as a small child).The story begins innocently enough with a typical work day of Angelina working for the professional but eccentric Delilah.  The party of the year is going to be the birthday bash for Morgan Ward and only the cream of society will be getting invitations but through a series of events I won't be telling here in the review, Angelina gets to be the  "and guest" with Delilah.At this point the readers are still unaware of what is to come and I won't spoil much of it except to say that the instructions Angelina receives from Delilah when they arrive "Be nice to my brother when you see him, and don't you dare leave without me" take on a much darker and frightening meaning as the story progresses from here.Since I HATE reviewers who tell you too much story in reviews, let me say that there are a couple of life threatening moments in the story during these two short books and what seems to be a very slowly developing romance.  It should be obvious by the titles that there is some confinement issues here that are best described by reading the books.  The problem is that Angelina is never sure what is real and what are her own desires become fantasy.This is a great story which the author has decided to give to us in small portions and while it might be frustrating for a few weeks at most it will make the impact on your purse/wallet much lighter.Bottom Line:  This is an EXCELLENT story and these 2 books just give us the beginning of what I expect to be a great romance and hopefully a bit of mystery and action since there are things happening outside Ward's mansion that are not clear yet but which will have an impact on this story.  4 Stars rather than 5 mainly because this book gives us a deeper picture of each of the couple while not really moving the story along very much but this was necessary since this story so far has been character driven and has relied very little on any action (other than him having to save her from his sister).  I expect things are going to heat up from here.
