BRIEF SUMMARYNikolai aches to be with is assistant of three years, Gabrielle. As a vampire, the last three years for him has been torture when he isn't around, Gabrielle, and not doing anything about it may cost him. But what may even pull them further apart is the murder that takes place that leaves Gabrielle not being able to trust Nikolai.THOUGHTSThe opening of this novel was very good for me. As a four hundred year old vampire, it showed how deep Nikolai's feelings were for Gabrielle. His every waking thought was to constantly think about her and what she was doing as he knew Gabrielle was his mate and he aches to be with her. Gabrielle's feelings were also mutual. I think what the author did with both characters I found appealing, as their gravitational pull for each other was endearing. However, what also makes it more appealing were the barriers they always faced trying to be with each other before and after the murder. My interest was already peaked at the beginning of this story, but spiked even more after the murder of someone close to Gabrielle.I definitely found the other characters, Gustav and Vincent likable, as I love Gustav's life style, top that off with a villain who happens to be scorned, I found this story to be very interesting. If you are familiar with the author's writing style with her use of characters and intimacy, then you will love this book.Storyline: FAIR to GOODEnjoyment: GOODRomance Novel Junkies
