So the story starts with Blake going to see a fortune teller, she tells him of his future and he’s queen. “Finding her will be easy. Holding onto her will prove to be your worst nightmare.”

 

He meets Siobhan in the south of France, while she is on holiday with her 3 friends. They chat, get to know each other and things soon progress. “You Si, were made for my touch, my kiss. Your body is made for pleasure. What your body felt was completely natural. And this is only the start of our story.” But on the last day of the holiday, things turn bad for Blake and Siobhan. The last thing he says to her is, “Remember this if nothing else, Si, I love you.”

 

Skip ahead ten years, Siobhan has moved on with her life the best she can. She’s moved away to the countryside and starting a new job to move on from a past relationship. Siobhan has her 3 friends come and visit for the weekend. They go to the grand opening of a club, and who should be there….. None other than Blake.

 

Siobhan tries to resist Blake, but in the end decides to give into her feelings that haven’t disappeared even after all this time. She decides to let things progress naturally between them. Blake takes Siobhan home and lets her know how he feels and they have a wonderful night together.

 

The next morning, Siobhan’s life is turned upside down and everything she thought she knew doesn’t really apply to him anymore. She second guesses his feelings and her own. This happens when Blake decides to disclose his secret to Siobhan.

 

After talking to her friends and to Blake she decides that she doesn’t care about him being a vampire, she can’t be without him. Things seem to be going well for Blake, with Siobhan back at his side. But things take a twist and Siobhan is taken away from Blake.

 

While Siobhan is being held, she endures a lot of different and new physical experiences for her. She decides that this shouldn’t happen and people shouldn’t being doing these things and she doesn’t think she should be enjoying them. However Siobhan decides no matter what happens physically, Blake will always have her heart.

 

Blake aware of the situation Siobhan is being held in, does what he can to help. This is in the form of Jarryd. He is there to help her the best that he can, as Blake asked him to. It is quite hard to read as you see him start to get attached to her.

 

More twists happen in the book, that leave you quite shocked and trying to get to grips with it. The ending to this book is quite sudden and the story is in no way concluded, it leaves you with many questions. I feel that this book had great potential but I personally felt that the amount of sex that occurred in the second half of the book, took away from the story line at times. This is the main reason for the 3 and a half smooches.
