I love that there wasn't a single thing that was rushed in this book. Erica's marriage to Shawn was something that showed her all the negative aspects of vampires. She experienced so much abuse at the hands of someone she called her husband. Shawn was an alcoholic and from the very first scene we saw his character, it's clear that he was out of control. Kevin gave her an out, she just had to gather up the courage and take it. If she had stayed with Shawn any longer things could have ended up very differently. Kevin and his family, who are all vampires, are the complete opposite of Shawn. They have control and show Erica that she has nothing to fear from them.When Erica moves in with Kevin it's clear that he's willing to give her all the time she needs in order to adjust. His family is in complete support of his decision and is there for Erica whenever she needs someone. They all do their best to make sure Erica is protected 24/7, but accidents happen, and everything rarely ever turns out how people plan it. The events that I would call unfortunate bring everyone in this book closer together. It seemed like Erica had to go through certain life experiences in order to realize that Kevin was going to be there for her, and that he didn't want anything from her other than love.This author introduced us to many different characters that I feel all played important roles. The members of the VCTF acted as a family and were there for each other when they were needed. I loved seeing Erica's personality finally start to show through. It was amazing when she finally let her guard down. This book in my opinion was a great start to a new series. We were able to get a look at how the VCTF functions, and what could possibly be future couples in the series. I look forward to starting book two and seeing what else this author has in store for the characters.
