What a lovely sweet story. I read it in a very short time and couldn't even dream of putting it down until I was done.Mortal girl Annalise has found herself a lucrative job-educating ancient vampires on the mortal world. Unfortunately, her leukemia is returning just as she is swept away to help educate vampire Prince Arthur, who has been in a self imposed torpor (vampire coma) for the last thousand years. Now he is awake and Annalise is needed to help him adjust to the modern human world.From the moment Annalise and Arthur first meet, there is little doubt of what will happen. But as they grow closer, her illness becomes stronger and it becomes apparent that she will die. She could be made a vampire and thus, cured, but she has refused this solution. She believes there is a step beyond this life and she wants to know what it is. But now, she has been taken back to her home town and doctor for final last ditch effort treatments, and now she has a reason to live-Arthur. With Christmas approaching, the one gift they both want is to be together for Annalise's last moments. Will Arthur reach her in time?So, that sums up what I loved. I had only two issues to mention. This needs to be edited. I lost count of how many words were used incorrectly. I wouldn't even mention it if I didn't think such an update would make this beautiful story even better. The other thing was that when Arthur was separated from Annalise and wanted only to be at her side, he went on a bloody rampage. Ok, I get it-vampire! But, it was so out of character for his sweet nature that it was hard to swallow. Not to mention the fact that it was Christmas Eve (or the day before?) and there would be no happy endings for the people he attacked and drained. But, all in all, I loved it.
