Night Sighs by Emma Meade puts a unique spin on the roller coaster evolution of a modern day relationship.  In this collection of short stories newly widowed Alexandra meets exotic vampire rock star, Tristan, who will change her life forever.  Each story picks up at different intervals in their relationship and shows a believable evolution to their relationship that keeps it steamy and exciting.I love rock star heroes and Tristan is incredibly appealing.  While there is a slight similarity to the Vampire Lestat, the author acknowledges this and actually jokes about it which made this story rather endearing.  Starting off, Tristan only cares for his desires but as the story progresses he matures and makes a more worthy mate to Alexandra.  After almost losing her he realizes her true value and will do anything to keep her safe...including giving up his rock star lifestyle.  Alex's always been the more mature of the two and she repeatedly proves that throughout the story as she shows some pretty kickass vampire slayer moves when necessary.  She's able to keep her emotions better under control and I found her character remained the same throughout the story, strong-willed from start to finish.Ms. Meade packed quite a bit into this series of short stories.  While we don't dig too deeply into the character's lives there's just enough to make us care about them and their outcome.  The sexual interludes are sexy and nicely paced throughout the collection and showed a deepening connection to their relationship.  There's some great action sequences as well that kept me turning the pages as fast as possible.  This story offers an entertaining interlude and I'm intrigued by what I read here to read more by Ms. Meade.
