Blurb:

Jamie Anderson knows you need to look before you leap, but he forgets it often enough to land in trouble. When his brother and only remaining family member disappears, he doesn’t think twice about quitting his job as a dental hygienist to travel to the Czech Republic to search for him.
Rescued by the sexy, mysterious Tomas in a small city near the German border, Jamie enlists his help in locating Rudy. Soon Jamie realizes the man knows more than he’s sharing. When Jamie demands Tomas tell him the truth, Tomas reveals he’s a vampire. Horrified the man he’s fantasized about is a monster, Jamie struggles with the fact he still needs Tomas’s help to find Rudy.

Jamie never expects their search will land him in the middle of a vampire turf war.

Review: Jamie is a man on a mission, searching for his wayward brother who’s disappeared in Europe. Unfortunately he finds himself over his head almost immediately.

Jamie is a good man who loves his brother even though he’s hurt Jamie more than once.

Tomas is a vampire who rescues the Jamie and becomes enamoured with him. He’s smoking hot and Jamie finds himself unable to resist.

I loved the characters and the intriguing premise. I could have read a lot more about these two men and I would have loved to spend more time getting to know them and the people they surround themselves with as they looked for Jamie’s brother and investigated his disappearance.

And therein lies the problem. This story is just too damn short to do it justice. It needed more time for anticipation to build. Instead the reader is left with the feeling of being cheated out of something amazing.

The heat between Jamie and Tomas is immediate and sizzling hot. I usually don’t care for such quick chemistry but this works in this story because of the vampire element.

I will be looking for more from this writer in the future and this story is worth the read…I just wish there would have been another 50 or more pages to enjoy.
