Review: Romance okay, plot not so great

If this book was being judged purely against free Kindle paranormal romances, it would actually be fairly high.  The quality of the writing, while not outstanding, is competent.  The sex scenes are handled well and the author does a good job of developing tension between the main characters and showing why they are attracted to each other.The overall mood is very dominance/submission and Max is very interested in keeping Erica "innocent" and sheltered from his life.  This may be your thing - I found it a little paternalistic.  It wasn't really "submit to me because it's hot and we're agreeing on it" as it was "submit to me because I know better and it is just what I expect you to do."The plot is where things kind of fell apart for me.  I don't want to give anything away, but I don't think saying an evil vampire is involved is going to be too much of a spoiler.  It just didn't make  sense that a vampire with that sort of power would have to bring his plan about in that convoluted way.  The author makes a point of telling us that the vampires have multiple ways to erase human memories and compel humans into doing what they want - as well as the willingness to kidnap people and make them disappear.  As a result, the fact that the vampire chose that specific plan to get what he wanted just didn't make sense.
