Living the life of a sex toy shop owner should be excitement enough, but not for Tina unless you add a mugging, a stalker, and a mysterious hottie on a motorcycle all in one night.Business savvy Tina knew the economy was in need of another sex toy shop, which has proven true and afforded a comfortable living. However, having nice things doesn't get rid of the lonely nights. Men are either weirded out by her profession or believe her to be into kinks that she's definitely not. Aside from her petite stature, Tina is just a normal businesswoman with great fashion sense and a cold bed. So when the sexiest man she's ever seen comes riding to her rescue on a motorcycle, she's torn between taking a chance on a stranger or following common sense and leave him before he leaves her. Too bad that's not the only thing she needs to be concerned about.Alex knew on sight there was more to Tina than met the eye. She's beautiful sure, but that's not what's causing him sleepless, libidinous nights. It's something he hadn't considered himself lucky enough to find, but if there is anything Alex knows for sure it's that Tina James just became the most important person to this Immortal Detective. His vampire instincts have him wanting to spend time with Tina, but his job demands he focus on finding a serial killer. Just when Alex thought he would finally catch a break with both Tina and the killer, his personal and professional life collide forcing him to reveal his secrets to her before it's too late.The story is non-stop from the first page. A little action, a bit of suspense, and a nice dose of romance mixed with a few erotically charged scenes kept this short story engaging. And yet I can't help but feel that the story would have been so much more intriguing and fulfilling if there were more pages to flesh out the action and characters as well as draw out the suspense. Because of the shortness, the relationship develops fast but not without good reason, which is revealed in the story. Overall, I still enjoyed the story and will absolutely continue reading more of this author's work.Reviewed by yadknyfor TheRomanceReviews.com
