Ainsley Crawford is a nurse getting desperate to find a new job, having been let go from her last job at the hospital. But she just couldn't let the fraud she had found go and had to be a whistleblower even knowing it might end up with her losing her job. As luck would have it, Ainsley has a job interview for a job that sounds very interesting. Now if she and the mysterious Dr. Delano Bowen can come to terms, Ainsley might have a chance to continue fulfilling her commitments.Dr. Delano Bowen has been doing research and searching for a cure to a curse for many, many years. When you figure in that Delano is a vampire and that the curse is the virus that made him a vampire in the first place, you can figure out that he is very dedicated to his job. Delano might have found the very thing that will help reverse this curse, the blood of a certain family that has all but died out after being targeted by vampires for the effect their very blood can do to vampires.The meeting between Delano and Ainsley started off unusually to say the least - being attacked right outside his home. But this attack has given Delano a way to convince Ainsley to allow him to get close to her. Ainsley settles in Delano's home and even begins to work for him but being in such close quarters is not helping the attraction that has sprung up between them. For every step Ainsley goes forward toward the attraction, Delano reverses. When danger hits both of them from an old rival who doesn't want Delano's research to finalize the anti-virus, Ainsley learns the truth about all the secrets that Delano has been hiding from her. This begins yet another stage in Ainsley and Delano's relationship - one that has their passion sparking even higher. They are on a race to the cure before the deadly danger can put an end to their lives and those of their loved ones.A modern nurse and a very old time doctor come together in passion while hunting for a cure to vampirism. That is exactly what happens to Delano and Ainsley in The Merzetti Effect with a few bumps, bruises and a whole lot of passion. Ainsley has a strong case of moral and right and wrong, which lead her to both losing her job and coming into contact with Delano. I found that Delano had the same thing but he had lived long enough with the normal vampire arrogance that he could find easily find excuses to account for doing the things he did. I really enjoyed watching as Delano and Ainsley became closer and loved the fireworks that happened between them once all secrets were out in the open. Their working partnership along with their love was just what they needed to defeat the rogue vampire who wasn't going to take no for an answer. I loved how they used not only their medical knowledge but also their smarts to win the day and enable a future for their love to flourish. The Merzetti Effect has all the great elements of suspense, danger and passion wrapped up in such a way that you will be guessing what will happen next until the very last page - which will make you sigh with pleasure.Reviewed by JoFor Joyfully Reviewed
