At first I was a bit skeptical about how this concept would
work. A man who is a cowboy and a vampire? It's a
marriage of my two favorite themes. Brent is a vampire who
is in town for his brother's wedding. Abby is career
military and looking for a man who has gone AWOL.
She doesn't have the best self-esteem and thinks she is fat
and ugly.
Abby does not know Brent is a vampire. She is very much
attracted to him. However, she does not see how he would
ever be attracted to her. After buying clothes at the local
boutique, she attempts to seduce Brent. He refuses at first
because he doesn't want to get close to anyone. Abby is not
looking for long-term, so she believes she is perfect for
Brent. Will these two misfits find love? Solace in each
other? Will Abby find out that Brent is a vampire?
While not my favorite book, it was enjoyable and I laughed
out loud in parts. I think if it had been a better book if
it were longer to allow for more explanation of what was
happening and more plot development. At times, their
was just too much going on in a very short period of time
and it took away from the book as a whole. I very
much loved the writing style and dialogue.
Brent Braddock flouts the rules. He's the ultimate charmer
with his cocky wink and slow molten grin! But there's still
too much range left to ride for a cowboy vampire like him to
consider settling down.
Then he meets Command Master Chief Petty Officer Abigail
Trent. She goes strictly by the books and is always the
toughest one in the room. But damn, when Brent gets an
eyeful—and then some!—of what's underneath her very
unfeminine clothes… Oh, yeah, she's definitely all woman.
And she's the first one to make Brent think about ending his
love 'em and leave 'em ways!
But can a woman who champions all things good and a…well…a
vampire make it work? Only if bad boy Brent can regain the
one thing forever denied to him…his humanity.
