One never expects to have a pregnancy and baby become the main plot line of a story that features vampires, and perhaps that is why this was so refreshing.  Virginia is pregnant, after the after-party on Brett's birthday, and Brett is the father.  This unexpected twist throws both relationships into chaos: Virginia and her parents, Anando with his long-time friends Lisa and Leo, Brett and his lovers.  While everyone is struggling to make sense of the situation, emotions are running high for all of the players in this little drama.The most emotionally charged of all of the stories in this series involving these characters: each reaction nuanced and complex, full of realistic reactions, concerns, insecurities and even fears as to how this new entrant into the world will alter their dynamics. While never soft-pedalling the reactions or emotions, Kallysten brings the reader to an understanding about the complexities of these rather unconventional relationships and the dynamics that could alter them forever.Not missing a beat with the sexual tension or enjoyment, the story does contain those moments: some tender and softly heartfelt while others are pure and raw steam.  The sex, however, falls to the background of the twists and turns of this plot, the raw emotion and decisions that will alter their lives and bonds forever.This was the first of the series that brought me to tears: with moments so sweet and sad that I realized that the characters had insinuated themselves into my heart, and felt real.  While the series is well worth the read, the emotional connection to these characters is a slow-grow, that will surprise you. And that is never a bad thing.I received an eBook copy from the author for purpose of honest review for the Jeep Diva.
