Romance Paranormal

All of her life Tara Collins was not allowed to live like other people but the death of her aunt gives her a chance at a normal life. She turns to Christian Roth to investigate her background and who her aunt really was after going through some papers which suggest that her aunt was living a lie.

Christian is not your normal investigator, he is a vampire who hunts demons and the former head of the Order an organization which keep the supernatural world in check. Christian did not know how bored he was pretending to be a business man until Tara enters his life. There is something about her that draws him and it's not only about wanting her in his bed.

At first Tara was happy to break each of the rules her aunt had her living by but as Christian's investigation raises more questions about not only her identity but her humanity, she wishes she could go back to ignorance of what's out there in the world we live in. Finding out that the head of the demon underworld is out to destroy him and anyone close to him, Christian must find a way to protect Tara or make a deal with the devil. When Tara's friend is abducted due to mistaken identity Christian decides on a course that will keep her safe but Tara has other idea which does not include them not being together even if it means learning how to kill.

Witches, Vampires, Shifter, and demons oh my! With all of these types of characters BITTERSWEET BLOOD can't help but be a book bursting with action and mayhem. All of the characters bring their own unique personalities to this book with a fresh spin on the paranormal world.

I was drawn in from the first page and Ms. Croft's world kept me reading straight through until I finished. There are many surprises and twist that shocked and delighted me. The villains were very interesting and by the end of the book I was just as interested in what happened to them as well as the good guys. I can't forget to mention how sexy the hero is and what he teaches the heroine had me reaching for an icy cold drink to cool me off. BITTERSWEET BLOOD is my first book by Ms. Croft but it won't be my last

SUMMARY

Tara Collins just wants to be normal. Everyone else wants her dead. Tara’s eccentric aunt raised her to be fearful of the world and follow the rules. But after her aunt’s death, Tara is ready to take control and experience life for the first time. But she quickly discovers that everything she’s been told is a web of lies. Determined to solve the mystery of who she is truly, she hires private investigator to help her uncover the truth. Christian Roth is more than your average PI. A vampire and ex-demon hunter, Christian lives among the humans, trying to be “normal.” But recently, things seem to be falling apart. There’s a crazed demon hell-bent on revenge hunting him down, and a fae assassin on the loose with an unknown target. And the Order he abandoned desperately needs his help. As the secrets of Tara’s past collide with the problems in Christian’s present, she finds herself fighting her attraction to the dark and mysterious investigator. Falling in love does not fit into her plans at all, but Tara soon learns that some rules are meant to be broken.

Excerpt

There was a noise behind her, and she whirled. Steel shutters slid down over the windows. “You can’t get out,” Christian said softly. “Don’t bother trying.” She glared at him through narrowed eyes. “Neither can you.” “Ah, but I don’t want to. I have everything I want right in here.” He sauntered toward her, circling, sniffing the air. Halting less than a foot from where she stood, he started to unbutton his shirt. He gave up halfway down, ripped it open, and dragged it off his shoulders, throwing it to the floor. “Sex and food.”
