...is a dead one, according to Reggie, the tough-as-nails heroine in Be My Vampire.  She and her sister are employed by the Paranormal Investigative Agency to hunt down the bad guys, and she believes the only good vampire is a staked one. She's forced to rethink her position when a couple of them rescue her from a job gone bad.Yuri was turned against his will several centuries ago, and has generally tried to stay under the radar, avoiding drawing the attention of the non-paranormal community. But something about Reggie draws his eye and his passion.Clearly Reggie and Yuri don't start out on the same team, although they both are startlingly aware of the fiery attraction they feel for the other. Yuri struggles to set aside his desires and keep Reggie at arm's distance out of respect for her wishes. Reggie, too, fights herself over what she's believed for years and what her body and heart seem to be revealing instead.It's sweet to see Yuri's desire to open Reggie's eyes about "his kind" and his attempt at restraint.  And Reggie's heart for her family and for justice is wonderful indeed.Ms. Jackson's penned an exciting, engaging story--a perfect quick treat. I wonder whether Reggie's sister's story might get told one of these days--I sure look forward to that, if so!
