When King Werewolf shows up in veterinarian Vee Scarpa's ER, she's livid.Her father, North American head honcho vampire, has threatened a chilling or else if she "accidentally" helped a wolf again, especially since they're at war. But she's tempted by the sexy wolf. And his deadly blood calls to her in a way that should set off warning bells...A promise to his brother in arms obliges Lexan Dimitrov to rescue the aristocrat vampire before her family discovers her secret—a secret Vee herself isn't even aware of. What he didn't expect was to find her sexy-as-hell. He's not into vamps, yet the inescapable heat building between them is a delicious temptation guaranteed to end in total disaster.

My Review:
* Trigger Warning: Talk of suicide and possibly committing suicide
This started off fantastic! The chemistry between the hero and heroine was off the charts. The would-they won't-they should-they thing the story had going on was amazing. Then it all dwindled into something I didn't like. The last huge event in the book happened in such a way that took so much away from the story for me.
I liked Vee's spirit. She's sassy and independent. She'll use anything she has against you in order to keep her mundane life as much as her family hate's her for it. I disliked how she had to fight tooth and nail to be seen as a capable being who can make smart choices for herself. Her family still finds it in themselves to meddle to the point where only they are right and put her in danger because *guess what?!* SHE was right all along.
Lexan was great right off the bat. His nonchalance was weirdly endearing from the beginning. At first, his pursual of her was silly and suddenly he became a neanderthal and wanted to do, in essence, what her family was already doing/trying to do to her but in a more comfortable setting. That's when he lost me. I understand it's his "instincts" or whatever but it could have been presented differently.
The ending was sappy and by then I didn't really care enough about the couple to actually enjoy it. I was speeding up the audiobook to get it over with faster. I don't think this book ended up being for me so I won't be continuing on in this series.
The Audio Book:
The narration was fine. There were no weird noises in the background and the characters more or less were distinguishable from each other.
