This self published author could easily be published by one of the big houses. He writes very well. I was riveted to the story and he has a truly unusual twist to the whole vampire thing.This is an erotic book. The sex is explicit, but mostly the whole tone of the book is erotic. A reader needs to be warned about that before s/he buys a book. It isn't everyone's cup of tea.One night, just leaving from work, Aaron is in the wrong place in the wrong time and he gets shot by a corrupt cop. They were really going after Michelle who they think is a street prostitute. She isn't. What she is is a vampire. She realizes that the young man will not make it, and against her better judgment, she scoops him up and takes him home and turns him.Basically the book is the story of what happens next. Their relationship starts with her completely dominant and him completely submissive, but Michelle has a history of being abused by her vampire master, and she has stayed solitary for decades because of it. She needs to be in charge because Aaron doesn't know how to survive as a vampire, but she isn't happy parenting the way she was parented. And unlike most paranormal or urban fantasy books, there is no paranormal community in this book.A lot of what happens is just plain fun to read. But this book does have a plot and the plot gets resolved in some interesting ways. I'm going to be getting the next book in the series, and I'm wondering if we will be meeting up with more vampires soon. I'd like to see the author's take on a vampire community.
