Book Description:
Alice Shepard needs one thing: a date for her sister's wedding.
And not just any date. A hunk who will make her fiancé rue the day he left her
for her best friend. Her drop-dead gorgeous neighbor fits the bill—even if he
is a bit quirky and never comes out during the day—and Alice has downed just
enough appletinis to ask him. But she makes it quite clear that there will be
no funny business.
Spending a week on a cruise ship full of humans while
sleeping close to his sexy next-door neighbor sounds like a helluva bad idea to
vampire Noah Thorpe. But his friends need time to get him out of a shotgun
wedding—a vampire bonding that will tie his fate to a female vampire he's never
met. And Alice's offer comes at just the right time.
What could possibly go wrong?
Short
Excerpt:
“That
sounded like it hurt,” he said, kneeling in front of her and taking her foot
into his hand.
“It’s
fine. I’m just a klutz.” Her toe throbbed slightly, calling her a liar with
every beat of her pulse.
He grinned
at her red toe. “You didn’t seem like a klutz on the volleyball court today. I
think you were trying to hide your blush. No doubt, terribly perverse thoughts
about me were flying through your head.”
She gaped
at him.
“Your toe
is fine,” he announced, but he didn’t release her foot. He looked up and met
her eyes, and the intensity of his gaze swept over her. Desire hit her like a
bag of bricks, a swift blow that robbed her of her breath and made her whole
body ache.
“I was
thinking no such things,” she said, wishing her breathlessness didn’t give her
away.
“Liar.”
“We aren’t
right for each other. And what happened last night isn’t happening again.” It
wasn’t. It couldn’t. There was no way she’d be able to stop things again like
she did the night before. Not if he kept looking at her like that. And he was a
vampire, just like Olivia. And she’d run off after swearing to love her brother
forever. What would stop Noah from doing the same? Vampires weren’t normal
people. She had to remember that.
“You’re
right. We aren’t right for each other.”
Anger
flashed through her, fanning her desire in a most annoying way. The greatest
defense is a good offense. “We’re not. In fact, I can’t think of anyone less
suitable for me.”
“Oh?” He
quirked an eyebrow at her and she ignored it. How could he look so scrumptious
and be so annoying at the same time?
“No.
Besides, I’m not looking to be tied down.”
A feral
grin blossomed on his face. “Don’t worry, Miss Shepard, if I tied you down I’d
be sure to untie you in the morning.
Review
Alice Shepard wants to be at the wedding for her sister, but she has one tiny little problem. Her ex-fiancee, and brother to the groom, who she caught with her best friend are attending. She needs a pseudo boyfriend quick and her mysterious neighbor comes to mind.
Noah Thorpe doesn't usually get close to humans, being a vampire of course their is no need. When his neighbor Alice shows up on his step, he can't help being attracted to her, she is a ray of light. He has watched her over the years and can't deny he has been curious, but her proposal of feigning a relationship on a cruise ship is ridiculous. It just so happens that it is perfect timing for Noah to flee with a proposed arranged bond marriage to someone he has never met is being forced, perhaps the time away will give him the time needed to get out of the arrangement.
Neither Alice or Noah is looking for a relationship, however a few simple touches, an act of protection where Alice is concerned, and a sensual dance has the both giving into the ever growing desire both are keeping bottled up.
Highly entertaining read, I thought the idea of a vampire on a cruise ship is was so unique I knew I had to read this story. Pure delight, I had a permagrin throughout.
