I started this series thinking, oh, well this sounds interesting, it's only .99 cents, i'll give it a shot.  All I can say is WOW!  This is an awesome series!  I laughed, I cried, I could not put the darn thing down!  I do give a brief summary of the book here, but I don't think it contains any spoilers.  This series follows Lissa, who is a frumpy, 40 something wife, who's husband was just taken off life support due to an extended illness.  She finds herself in a bar, drinking away her troubles, when she is, as part of a cruel bet, attacked and changed into a vampire.  She realizes what has happened to her and escapes from her attackers.  She then realizes she has also changed in appearance, regaining her youth and figure.  Meanwhile, The Vampire Counsel has found out about her and sends out an assassin, Gavin, to watch over her and eventually bring her back for termination. (Apparently, she is considered rogue as her sire did not register her and that is against their rules.) She eventually starts to establish a new life as a bodyguard for an influential person, as does Gavin to keep an eye on her, and report back to the counsel.  We go on to learn all kinds of interesting things about her employer, and other very entertaining characters.  We also learn that she is one of only 16 female vampires in existence, and is very rare.  As for Gavin's characer, I like him, then I hate him.  I am on the hate spectrum right now.  I feel this author has really captured everything I love about a book:  mystery, intrigue, drama, romance, and lots of dialogue which is how we get to know the characters so well.  There is still a lot to be explored and mysteries that need resolved.  I cannot wait to read the next book in the series.  I am so glad I just found this series and can go right into the 3rd book because this book ends on a major cliffhanger.  There is language and sexual scenes in the book, so I would only recommend it for adults.  You will not be disappointed!
