*Spoilers*

This was a cute, quick little novella. It's Traian and Joie's story. Traian is an ancient who was sent out to hunt vampires by Mikhail father. Joie is a bodyguard, the best in her field. In this book we get to meet Joie's brother Jubal and sister Gabrielle. I loved that Joie was a kick ass heroine. She saves the day and her man! I loved Traian too. He was sweet, and not pushy. He also gave Joie a choice to become like him. He was willing to grow old and die with her if she didn't want to become like him. So that got him some major points with me! They made a cute couple and this short story had plenty of passion. We also get to see Gary Jansen again. Yay I love Gary!!! You can already feel the pull Gary and Gabrielle have on each other from their first meeting in this book. I liked both of Joie's siblings. I really hope Jubal gets a book. A great fast read. I would have liked it to be longer.
