I'm not sure why this caught my eye, but I think I read an excerpt and immediately fell in love with Nate. He was turned into a vampire against his will in the 1950's, couldn't handle being a vamp, so decided to just go to sleep for awhile. When he wakes up in 2011, he's just as out of place, but is determined to learn to accept his new life. He handles his need for blood by meeting women on the internet, going out with them once, and then just taking enough blood to live on and mesmerizing them into forgetting him. Unfortunately for him, Samantha, his latest date, cannot be mesmerized, leading to him getting much more deeply involved with her and falling in love. Mayhem ensues because Samantha is a rare human whose blood provides a serious power boost to any vamp who drinks it. Nate was a wonderful beta hero who just wanted to be left alone to live his undead life. Samantha is a strong, caring woman who isn't waiting around for a guy to rescue her. The story is told in Nate and Sam's alternating POV's, which I loved since the reader then gets both of their thoughts. There are a couple of spicy scenes, but this is definitely more on the sweet side, not an erotic romance. I hope the author is going to write a sequel.
