| Kelly Matthews is deeply in love with vampire Jacques Devereaux, but when he abruptly left her a year ago with no explaination, she feels he doesn't feel the same about her. Jacques is as in love with Kelly as she is him, but fears he can never have her. When her dance company comes to Jacques home city of Paris he decides it just may be the chance he needs to convince Kelly he made a mistake when he left her. When Kelly finally sees how much Jacques is committed to her and a future together dark forces start to swirl around them. A enemy from Jacques past arrives determined to acquire Kelly for his own. To this man named Mussek Kelly is a reincarnation of a woman he lost a long time ago. Mussek feels this is a second chance at love if only he can bend Kelly to his will. Jacques is determined Mussek will not take Kelly away and will do everything in his power to protect her.
This was a wonderful, sensuous read! The chemistry between Jacques and Kelly is explosive and felt from the minute they encounter one another after being apart. Kelly's agitation at Jacques's behavior is understandable and funny at times. When the guards are finally let down, both of them experience a love that's very powerful and hard to stop. The sexual scenes are tastefully done and add to the whole romance of the story. The villan of Mussek is nicely fleshed out. He drips of coldness and it comes right off the page at you. The secondary characters leave room for the continuation of this series and I would encourage anyone looking for a great vampire romance series to read all of Ms. Lory's books!
