Description
Delilah McDade has born the brunt of responsibility of her younger brother, Declan’s wild lifestyle for years, until the night she learns it’s come back to bite both of them in the form of vampire Ash Lockler. Delilah has a prim exterior but she dreams of hot vampires and other nocturnal creatures to give her a break from her life that, while satisfying, is lonely. Ash is tempting but she knows that she could never be a part of his life lived in the shadows.
Ash Lockler lives his undead life as part of the seedy underworld with a stone cold heart. That doesn’t stop him from helping damsel-in-distress, Delilah, but he’s intent on keeping things all business and ending their association as soon as possible. The problem is that he can’t seem to get his body—and heart—to agree with his reasoning when he and Delilah are thrown together in a deadly situation that may get her killed and cost him his freedom.
I really enjoyed this story. Delilah’s sense of family loyalty and protectiveness made her such a great character. She had a very forgiving heart when it came to her brother and even when Ash misspoke in order to protect her. As for Ash, he had a great sense of right and wrong even when he wallowed in his own despair and skirted the line of doing the right thing. His connection to Delilah saved him and gave him something to live for. I recommend this story.
