Dr. Lara West is on a mission to become the youngest and best Chief ER doctor in Washington. She's just waiting for the current holder of the position to retire. Lara's focus on her career forces her to lead a lonely life without any attachments other than the patients she's sworn to protect. Early one evening, she awakes from a deep sleep to answer her ringing cell phone. To her dismay, the voice on the other end is not only asking for her medical attention immediately; he's in her living room bleeding from a bullet wound. Quickly, Lara's goals for her future start unraveling before her eyes and she's too confused to stop it.

Bobby Eyre is many centuries old, surviving the only way he knows how by keeping a low profile and not killing any innocents. The beast inside him craves blood; learning to control it has been more than challenging. Bobby uses the first stage of Vampirical Harmony to keep his victims compliant and then wipes their memories. Working as a nurse at a hospital is extremely convenient with blood easily at his deposal. That is until cameras are installed and security is increased since someone is stealing blood.

LOVE WITHOUT BLOOD is exciting from the first page with a unique writing style and fascinating build-up even with all the normal vampire lore. I am very curious to see how the next book takes shape.
