So first of all I really did enjoy Undisclosed Desires by M Peters. I quite liked the two main characters and their clashing personalities that were not very predictable. The book exhibited wonderful characterization and excellent imagery that put you in the place of Spain in this time. However, even though the characters were not necessarily predictable, the plot sort of was. I felt as though there could have been a twist at the end that just did not happen.I also liked the language used, it was befitting for the time, but the inserts of French and Spanish here and there got a little redundant.  Speaking of redundant, there were a couple adjectives that were just used over and over and over again! Seriously though, I wonder how many times the words "older vampire, homolupine, and fledgling" were used. Those just come to mind because, while they are decent descriptions, they were EVERYWHERE. I also noticed that there was a lot of emphasizing (italicizing) in places where it was not really necessary.Lastly, there was quite a chunk that vanished as far as plot. Without spoiling anything, what I mean is Keith's twin brother and that vial nonsense. Because of the fact that it was not resolved, the whole concept could have been easily removed as a whole. Maybe there was closure as far as that was concerned and it was just edited out? I have no idea. There is also another chunk which I am not mentioning but it has to do with the werewolf concept that also vanished.Even with these flaws, I still felt as though Undisclosed Desires was a compelling love story that had an interesting setting and even more interesting characters.
