slow-paced

Slower than molasses in January.  If I had read the reviews before even trying this book, I would have passed on it.
The story had promise, but then it stalled.  Tried to get back moving, then it died.

Taken By The Vampire King (The Baton Rouge Vampire Complete Series ) by Roxie Ray is the entire vampire romance novel series. I had read books 1~3 separately and then I saw Roxie Ray was releasing them all together and I knew I had to the read them again. I enjoy vampire stories so I am always quick to grab them up.  The plot was interesting and I definitely enjoyed the world building that always is apart of fantasy novels. 
The main characters in the three books are Leia and Nicolas. The three books is there journey from her father basically trading her for a gambling debt to Nicolas and Leia realizing how much they really mean to each other. There of course is so much in between from betrayal, laughter, anger, fear, love, spice and so much more. You just have to read it.
The books are:
  1. Taken By The Vampire King
  2. Stolen By The Vampire King
  3. Made By The Vampire King
I recommend this series if you like vampires. It was a fun read. I am glad it was put into one book.

Honestly, I'm not sure the author has ever stepped foot into Baton Rouge (where I live!) but I could get past that if it wasn't for the constant mention of the FMC virginity status and the honestly loose reasoning behind the big bad. The resolution is disappointing. The smut is okay but it happens at the most bizarre times sometimes. The writing is overall trite. It had potential to be interesting but really lacked a lot of polish and actual research bc I couldn't figure out where these people live in Baton Rouge with a bunch of plantation houses and 0 black people (as far as I could tell). It wasn't even easy to determine what decade we were in at first.
