| Ariana Stephanopoulos, Ari, is celebrating her hundredth birthday, even though her friends had to drag her out to enjoy herself. Before her eighteenth birthday a selfish man turned her and kept her prisoner. He didn't even teach her to feed herself then after fifty years he dumped her, leaving her to starve on the streets of Chicago . Thanks to two female vampires, she had been taken care of. After going to the bar, in no time she is harassed by a werebear. When Ari refuses to be abused any longer, a good-looking man steps in and saves her. Jackson Marceski is the owner of the bar who comes to Ari's rescue. They begin sharing conversation, getting to know each other better. In the instance they met, it was like a loud click bringing them together. He knows she is a vampire and doesn't care. He is confident, a wolf, and believes she is lovely. In no time they embark on a hot and heavy relationship, while exploring some creative fantasies. Can Jack bring out the shy woman that hides underneath the vampire shell?
The romance is hot and heavy, as Ari and Jack heat up the pages, almost burning with the touch. Exploring Ari is a very sweltering, sensual book that practically leaves burns on the fingertips. Jack and Ari have this cool chemistry almost the minute they meet. I love Jack's attitude. I found him suave, sophisticated and oozing with sex appeal. Cindy Spencer Pape sketches a heated read with some perks along the way that are quite entertaining. Her refreshing characters know how to generate some exciting moves to keep the pages turning. She molds Jack with self-assurance to bring out the shyness in Ari. This story will hold the reader captivated until the final conclusion.
