This was a great read. The characters were beautifully portrayed and stayed 'real' to their life experiences through out the entire story. The development of their relationship was wonderful too. It wasn't rushed but flowed through a natural progression that made Liam's healing seem believable and not contrived. Other reviewers stated that they found the character Marcus cold and aloof but if you read between the lines to understand how aberant his behaviour is for a vampire you can see that in the context of his species he is gushing and romantic by comparason.This story hangs together so very well. The author has managed to create a believable world and society where the reader can relax into the fantasy without any major contradictions or plot holes to jerk you out of the book. Although Liam's life was brutal and desperately unhappy prior to hooking up with Marcus, the book isn't dark and sad but rife with love, caring, sexual healing and passion.The BDSM elements are very light and 'appropriate' given the authors twist to the vampire character and what he experiences whilst feeding (can't say more or I will spoil the story). Overall this was a worthwhile and satisfying read. I was suprised by how much I enjoyed it given the mixed reviews I read prior to buying it. This is a book I will read again and I happily recommend you give it a try. Off to download Duck now...
