I received a free copy in exchange for an honest review.I really didn’t know what to expect when I accepted this book. When I said yes, I was on holiday and I saw the email and didn’t look too closely at the blurb. I love to read just about anything and decided to go with it. Luckily I enjoyed this book.The writing is solid. Cade is your typical silent and brooding type of hero. At times he could be a tad possessive and that made me slightly uncomfortable. Emma is also the typical girl in distress on some levels. She doesn’t have a lot of friends and she’s an orphan. At first I worried that RB Austin would allow her female character to become a cardboard cutout. Instead, she gave Emma a strong voice. Even while she is falling for Cade, who is technically holding her captive, she’s questioning her feelings and sanity. Actually, her internal dialogue is often humorous.The romance comes at you fast and then slows down some. For the most part I enjoyed the romantic elements. However, some of the lines were super cheesy. For example, “I want your fangs inside me.” I had to laugh over that one. There are a few others. It didn't ruin the book for me. But I'm a fan of cheesy lines that make me laugh.Overall, I enjoyed the novel. It’s about vampires, a genre I enjoy, but it’s refreshing. At times I actually forgot the novel was about bloodsuckers. I won’t say too much how she changed things up since I don’t want to ruin the story for others. I will say it’s  good start to the series and I look forward to reading more.
