After having just arrived at the Scottish college only a few days before, Jolie Pritchard is accosted by a man with a Scottish accent, wearing strangely enough, a shirt, kilt, a dagger at his waist, and a  sword over his back. He invites her to dinner which she continues to refuse, even as she is being put into his Rolls Royce limousine.His name is Thoran Alexander MacKettryck, the Sixth Duke of Kettryck. He has lived as a vampire just over 400 years, and has just found his mate. She seems like a babe to him, small, trim, and dressed in a hoodie with jeans. But no other woman had brought his senses alive like she has.Jolie knows that Thoran is different, but can't accept that he's a vampire, nor that he can be as wealthy as he is. What she doesn't know is how a lot of that wealth first came about, and he isn't telling.With hunters after him, and a rogue clan not far behind, Thoran is going to have his hands full keeping both of them safe. He loved her almost at first sight, but Jolie is strong minded and difficult.I loved Thoran's arrogant self assurance, his determination to keep Jolie in his possession, as well as his tough, take-no-enemies-as-prisoners attitude. No woman could doubt her safety while she was with him.Jolie is a heroine to cheer for. When she first meets Thoran, she rejects almost everything he tries to do for her. But before long, he begins to get to her.The romantic tension is almost perfect! Though it would have been great as a fleshed out novel, it was extremely good for being such a short read! Highly recommended.
