Spicy. Spicy. Spicy. 🌶️ A tale of broody, sexy vampires, silly seraphim, and their undying bond with one another. Romantic and sexy at the same time. Thoroughly enjoyed this one!

I added this to my TBR quickly when I saw the author but this isn’t my favorite by Katee Roberts. I liked the Neon Gods series but that series had much more of a plot than this one. 

This book is almost entirely sex and very little plot and some of the little plot there is, revolves around sex. Nothing wrong with a RH smut book but I wish there was more happening than sex. 

I finished it because I was interested in how it turned out with her father, but this wasn’t the story for me.

Heavy on blood (they’re vampires, so yeah) and pregnancy troupe is a major plot point
