My thoughts (Theo~): This was a nice break for me, and something light and beautiful to read. I’ve enjoyed this book so much, laughing, smiling and keeping my fingers crossed for something more.And this book, surprisingly, did it for me! I fell in love with the dark, charismatic Noah because he was always in constant control over his emotions, I also fell for the beautiful and sweet Alice, who knew but pretended that she doesn’t.I loved the action and how the characters evolved during this book. It is sweet, easy to read and most importantly, not boring.Alice is a normal woman, living in her late grandmother’s house and occasionally ogling her dark, talk and handsome neighbour. She is also strong and very well defined, but she is just about to attend her sister’s wedding for a week on a luxurious yacht and she is definitely not ready to meet her ex-fiancée, Bret or something. She wants to show everyone that only after one year she is as ready as him to let go. And even though she still thinks about him, her blood usually run cold when she remembers the fact that he slept with her best friend. And most importantly? He is going to marry her! Talking about luck, Alice does not have one of these things called ‘faith and thins will be alright”, because she definitely is doomed to make a fool of herself.Until one night when the idea simply just pops-up in her mind. What if she invited her hot neighbour to pretend to be her boyfriend? It is true that he is rarely out of him home, but he is stunning enough to make every single straight woman out there drop her panties and jump him.She encourages herself by drinking a few appletinies, but when the time comes she is not ready, and everything is still moving around with her. So she throws away the idea. She cannot do it, he won’t agree, so what is the point? But her head just doesn’t want to leave her alone. She must invite him. So, the next day she hears one small part of a private conversation between her neighbour – Noah and his friend Charles. He needs to let go for a few days, to get away – and she has the perfect plan escape! He can come with her, and they can pretend they are in love so that the wedding won’t be ruined for her!Hardly, Noah accepts, but only because he needs to get away from an “arranged marriage” that he won’t agree with. The journey begins, the darkness comes and goes, the love is getting bigger and their eyes can’t keep of each other!Noah is always guarded when is around Alice, because he sort of had a thing for her from the moment he laid eyes on her five years ago, but he is still not human... he is a vampire! The ‘always guarded’ eyes that he carried around her pisses Alice off even more, but little does she know that the guarded expression is actually guarding her against a vampire attack. Yet, she knows about vampires. She is well informed, but she believes it is his secret to tell, not her to bring up!There are going to be a lot of funny moments and lines exchanges. Sometimes I was laughing so hard about simple things, but still laughing nevertheless.I recommend this book to anyone ready to read again about vampires, sweet little vampires, about straight forward women and about challenges that might seem big, but sometimes they are not.Happy readying everyone!
