Maybe English vampire books just have another feel to them, or maybe it was because Nathaniel totally pulled off Mr Darcy ;) Either was it was a good vampire novel that felt fresh in an era when that's hard.
These vampires survive on pig's blood and do not feel. Because when you are that old feelings will just drag you down. In comes Nathaniel, our 200 old vampire (an Earl too btw). He tries his best to be modern but has trouble with it. Instead he tends to go a bit Mr Darcy, which was totally adorable and made me giggle. He is truly the perfect gentleman.
Rowan, the heroine, says what she feels and when they meet, and crash. Something happens. These two are meant to be and to see him try to court her, yes adorable. There could have been a bit of a stalker warning because of how he wanted to protect her, but when you realize all the facts in the end it makes sense. Some are just meant to be. And to feel after having not feel for 200 years, well it gets a bit intense.
Something else is also at play in this book. I can't say too much, but yes all is not as it should be.
A delightful novel

I have mixed feelings about this one. I did enjoy it. But I just need to say, if you say no, even if we're just talking about assistance down the stairs, and he doesn't listen, that's a bad thing. A man ignoring a woman's wishes whenever he thinks he has her "best interests" in mind is not romantic. It's creepy and controlling. I would definitely have liked this book more if he had respected her wishes.

Really enjoyed this book. Firstly it was a nice change to have the story told from the man's point of view. And unlike a lot of vampire based stories it was neither overly violent or unnecessarily gratuitous. I found it overall very sweet with some lovely touches of humour

Not a bad story, it was a little slow and repetitive for me to truly enjoy though
