Addison Godwin had a perfectly normal life until her best friend and roommate Taylor was `Born to Darkness' against her will.  Due to her immunity to vampire glamour and mind tricks she now works as an Auditor doing her best to rein in any illegal activities vamps might engage in toward humans.  She might not be able to legally help Taylor but she hopes that her efforts will help save other victims - and maybe someday there will be laws regarding how vamps treat other vamps as well.Master Vampire Alec Corbin is the proud owner of Tampa's most premier glam-sex club, Under the Fang.  As a four hundred year old vampire he's earned every single one of the tattooed stars that serves as a reminder of how many centuries he's lived.  He displays an amazing amount of control even when it comes to Addison whose icy cold demeanor intrigues him and excites him as nothing else has in centuries.Addison has seen what happens when vamps and humans have sex and blood lust overcomes the vamp and the results are far from pretty.  She's determined that will never happen to her despite her attraction to Corbin.  However, when Taylor needs her help in order to escape the cruel vamp who changed her saying "no" simply isn't an option.  In order to help Taylor, Addison is going to have to step outside the law and request Corbin's help, but his help is going to come at a price - and he wants her!Corbin's perfectly aware that helping save her friend could put their lives in very real jeopardy and he's determined to do everything he can to keep her safe.  The fact that her friend should have never been changed and is far too weak to even be able to glam effectively is not his concern; however, seeing Addison so upset about the situation is something he's not willing to accept.  Since Taylor's been given to the Vampire Inquisitor for his personal amusement while he's in town the risks are even higher than normal - and Corbin insists that Addison act as his consort, which in essence would present the Vampire Inquisitor with the impression that Corbin is a powerful vampire indeed if he doesn't require glam to bind a human to him without the benefit of glamour.Corbin's used to all the rules and dictates of his kind.  Addison, however, is not and must be taught everything she needs to know in rapid succession.  And when she messes up, she goes big and puts them all in very grave danger.  Just when it seems Addison will never admit to her true feelings, she discovers that Corbin's everything she could ever want in a mate and more - and she could still lose him if she's not willing to risk it all.CRIMSON DEBT is the first title in Evangeline Anderson's BORN TO DARKNESS series - and I absolutely loved it!  Admittedly I don't read a whole lot of paranormal stories and there are very few that I'll pick up and read cover to cover stopping only for food or potty breaks - but this is just that sort of read.  I love Addison's no nonsense personality and adored Corbin's calm demeanor even when faced with a hellish situation.  My heart absolutely broke for Taylor who seems so lost and alone that, like Addison, I just wanted to rescue her.  Ms. Anderson kept the entire storyline hopping from beginning to end with characters, dialogue and situations that capture the imagination and allow the reader to become emotionally invested in the outcome.BORN TO DARKNESS series:CRIMSON DEBTSCARLET HEAT - released April 16, 2013RUBY SHADOWS - coming soonChrissy Dionne (courtesy of Romance Junkies)
