Helpful Score: 1

This book is a bit unusual in it's genre (erotica) because the heroine is the Dominant. It took me a good third of the book to get past the idea that the heroine wants the hero to submit to her while she continually proves that she can overpower him (physically, as she's a vampire and he is not) and that she wishes to really Master him.

I wasn't sure this premise was very sexy or appealing but Joey Hill writes a compelling and very erotic story. She manages to give us a strong, masculine, and himself dominant, hero who nonetheless submits to the heroine. By the end I "got" what Hill (and the heroine) was aiming for, that there is something very hot about a man that strong and self actualized who is willing to give up control to a woman. I needed some convincing, but she got there.

I was not entirely convinced about the love story. The characters were too invested in each other too early in the book. It is explained later but I'm not sure I totally bought it. That said, I will BUY the next book in the series rather than waiting. It was very good.
