Romance Paranormal

Abbey Sinclair works for "Fated Match" a dating agency for paranormals. She's a human in the group but, with her mother having been bitten and turned into a were-badger she is really well versed on the other world. Things are going well until she is sent to sign up the socialite Melissa Redgrave ... she has a feeling that there is more than LOVE AT STAKE.

Melissa's sire Lucian Redgrave is very much against the whole deal, doesn't believe that a true mate can be found via computer and DNA match. It's when he meets Abbey that he decides she is what he wants, so to keep seeing her he agrees that if she and the agency can find him a match in a month, he will allow Melissa to join.

Abbey is half sure that he has no plans to cooperate and indeed his first date ends in less than an hour, and he is once again by Abbey's side. She is the one he plans to have ... though he doesn't see the possibility of forever; after all she is only human.

LOVE AT STAKE is fast paced paranormal romance filled with humor, deep emotion and scorching sex. It was very entertaining to watch both Abbey and Lucian in this tug of war as slowly their hearts get pulled in. She doesn't want to be a vampire's plaything quickly forgotten and he doesn't believe he has a heart left to give. What started out as a game for the ancient vampire ends up with him miserable and that long forgotten heart on the line. Author Victoria Davies gives us an intriguing world filled with various beings while taking us deeper into the emotional upheaval that Abbey and Lucian find themselves in. I am hoping that Ms. Davies has plans for the wolf who was trying to gain Abbey's interest. I knew he wasn't for her but I did feel sorry for him and want him to find his perfect match. In fact I want more books like this one no matter what characters she brings us.

SUMMARY

Abbey is the lone human working for Fated Match, a company that pairs members of the supernatural community with their eternal mates.

To snag a young vampire socialite as their next client, Abbey journeys to the home of Lucian Redgrave, the oldest vampire on the East Coast. But he�s not willing to allow his vampire daughter to use the agency� unless Abbey can first find his perfect match in a month.

As Abbey coaches Lucian through his dates, she can�t deny the chemistry between them. But humans are toys for vampires, and risking her heart isn�t a part of the plan
