Romance Paranormal
DYING TO DATE is Book two in the Fated Match series
by
Victoria Davies centered on a dating agency for
supernaturals. I think DYING TO DATE can still be enjoyed
by readers who may be new to this series. Victoria Davies
is brilliant at crafting interesting tales about people
who are natural enemies, or who should be enemies, and
have them fall in love. Melissa Redgrave and Tarian Drake
would normally never run in the same circles in society.
She is a vampire and he is a necromancer, and in the
world Victoria Davies has envisioned in DYING TO DATE,
the two races are highly antagonistic toward each other.
The chance meeting they have at Fated Match sizzles as
they instantly fall in lust with each other.
I like that DYING TO DATE is told from both points of
view. Tarian has to make some tough choices and bluff
some villains in order to keep Melissa safe, and knowing
his true thoughts helps the reader understand him. I love
Tarian. Even though it puts him at odds with family
members and other necromancers, he tries to be a pacifist
and negotiate peacefully for better treatment for his
people. Time and again he shows courage and loyalty in
DYING TO DATE. Tarian is a sexy, strong and intelligent
hero who treats the heroine with respect and is a
wonderfully complex character.
Victoria Davies has the romance between Melissa and
Tarian take lots of twists and turns before they get a
happy ending. What starts out as a somewhat light and
sexy romance, erupts into a fiery inferno of need and
desire with danger nearby. Smack dab in the middle of
this paranormal romance is a "on the run" story very
reminiscent of Alfred Hitchcock's North by Northwest.
This plot turn adds a lot of excitement to the story and
bonds Melissa and Tarian together. They are forced to
trust each other, even when Melissa has excellent reason
to distrust Tarian.
DYING TO DATE seethes with sexual tension and excitement.
Melissa and Tarian are a little like Romeo and Juliet
except sexier and they have a happier ending. I love
DYING TO DATE and adore Victoria Davies. I can't wait for
the next book in this Fated Match series!
SUMMARY
A paranormal category romance from Entangled's Covet
imprint... Even the undead need a little dating help... Vampire socialite Melissa Redgrave has the worst luck with
men. Frustrated, she decides what she needs is a little
help...from New York's biggest supernatural dating agency.
Except that sometimes, a vampire doesn't always find her
match. Until she does. And he's delicious enough to bite. Tarian Drake keeps his necromancy background quiet. After
all, the ability to control the dead isn't exactly
welcomed
in the supernatural community. When he runs into the
beautiful Melissa, she tempts him in a way that has never
happened before. She's his perfect match in every way. But just as they are about to take their relationship to
the
next level, his family decides to make a stand-by
kidnapping
his new girlfriend. Now, if he ever hopes to date again,
he's going to have to get control of his family and free
the
girl. Oh, and stop a war.
