Love at Stake. Victoria DaviesReview from Jeannie Zelos Book reviews.I'd had a run of books that weren't really working for me, and needed something I’d definitely enjoy so picked up this one. Entangled Covets are always a fun read, always up to standard, sometimes a five star, usually a four but never less than a three, and that’s what I needed to get my reading back on track. Anyway – Abbey and Lucien – what a fun couple. Abbey is “no vamps” while ancient vampire Lucien finds her fun, and determines to change her mind. He bets her that she can't find his perfect match via the agency in under a month, insisting that she is the liaison and that she waits for thirty minutes to see if the date is working. Of course he's got an ulterior motive – this way he's got time to work on Abbey. Abbey needs to do it as the agency numbers are down, and signing up Lucien's daughter will give them a much needed boost, with other clients then coming forward, and that means job security for Abbey.There some smouldering sensuality – in romances the old vamps do that so well, and of course with hundreds of years of experience Abbey doesn't stand a chance with him, he has all the answers to every doubt she has.  Slowly he wears her down. He thinks he just needs to get her out of his system, and she thinks one night will allay the feelings she has, get the experience over and back to normal. Of course for both its one night, plus and another , then another...all the while telling themselves its only temporary.  He's not the only one after Abbey though – she's come up as a close to perfect match for a werewolf and he's not giving in easily.....As expected its a realistic, fun read, with some sensuality and hot, erotic sex, Covets aren't vulgar, they don't give sex that makes the reader cringe. Well me anyway, sometimes that phrase “ I just threw up a bit in my mouth” springs to mind when I’m reading some books, but never with covets. They're not deep and dark, but neither are they silly and smutty. This read is a typical Covet, its fun, well written, easy to follow and a perfect way to lose yourself in another world for a couple of hours. Victoria is an author new to me but I won't hesitate to try other books of hers.Stars: Four, a fun read.ARC supplied by Netgalley
