4.5  StarsI loved this book! I get so excited when I discover a “new” author that I haven’t read before and find that I adore their writing style…and Robin Covington’s style is just about perfect. The right mix of seriousness, suspense, sexiness and snark make Sex and the Single Vamp a thrilling, fun read.CiCi and Deacon were made for one another. As undead immortals who have danced around their attraction to each another for centuries, CiCi turns to Deacon when clients of her dating service, Your Other Half, are threatened. Deacon proposes a barter: in exchange for the assistance of his security services to keep her and her clients safe, CiCi will finally come to his bed.Let me first say that I am typically not a vampire fangirl. However, Deacon is enough to turn this mere mortal into a groupie. He is dark, broody, stalker-ish, yummy sexy, and hilarious in his own dry, sarcastic way. The attraction between CiCi and Deacon is palpable and their relationship shows amazing depth. The sacrifices they are willing to go through in order to have a life, rather than just an existence, are touching, and their love for one another over the ages is both romantic and erotic at the same time. And Deacon is just plain immortal-being hot.Robin Covington tells a vampire tale with a new twist, and fans of the True Blood series will fall in love with this book. A host of Were, Fey and paranormal “Others” make this more than just a vampire tale. I hope this is just the first book in a supernatural series, because there are a lot of creatures I’m interested in seeing again!Review copy provided for an honest review.
