Leah Buchanan's family have been Concubines giving their blood to vampires for 500 years.  At 40 years old Leah is summoned to the Selection where a vampire will make her an offer for her to become his Concubine.  She will be in his service for a few years, he will take only her blood and she will live a lavish life as payment and be financially looked after until the day she dies.  Only Leah doesn't want this kind of life for herself not even when she sees the handsome centuries old Lucien, but Leah is pressured into it by her family who are worried that she will bring shame on them if she doesn't.  Lucien has been watching Leah for twenty years and he wants more from her then just her blood and but it is forbidden for any kind of romantic relationship to exist between vampire and Concubine.  However this is a rule that Lucien is willing to break in order to Tame the beautiful Leah.I was very curious about how I would find this book as I love the Romance books that Ms Ashley writes but I sometimes don't really get on with Paranormal Romance.  I have an issue with the female characters in PNR books as more often than not they appear weak and foolish.  I can say that I did enjoy this book though.  It took me a bit of time to get into it as the style is somewhat different to the usual Kristen Ashley book.  We have the first person POV from Leah and the third person POV from Lucien and I enjoyed the story much more when it was from Leah's POV.  I liked Leah she wasn't a weak and foolish character however Lucien is a bit of a moron.  He has the looks and the cash but he does not know how to treat a lady and he is not one of my favourite Kristen Ashley heroes.  The story is a little predictable but that is what we love and expect from these kinds of books isn't it?  I loved the ending and it has set up the next book which is about different characters but their story intertwines with this.  I will definitely be carrying on with the series and would like to give Until The Sun Falls From The Sky 4 stars.
