The Count's Lair by Stephanie Burkhart
3.0
This was a good read. It really played into the genre, but gave us a fresh look at some of the typical stories we see. I liked the combination of our leading ,an and a leading lady, who is a concert pianist.
I found the storyline interesting. The main man was struggling to comes to terms with himself and just what he was. He also had the urge to rekindle the flame with a woman he saved. All the while, he wants to ensure he doesn't push to hard for the flame to start again, for fear she will run or at least not return the feeling.
The characters were created well. They had decent personalities and made for an interesting read. I would have liked to have seen a little bit more detail added to them, with this being the second book. However, they were still really fun and interesting. I also liked that they still seemed down to earth and real.
The pace was good. It did have a good blend of faster moments,for those times when things were abrupt or done in haste, but a lot of it matched the tone of a love beginning and went a little slower to give us time to enjoy the moment.
The story progresses well and definitely kept my attention. It built on the first eat well and really flowed, which I liked. I also liked that it wasn't just typical and easy to guess. It actually had sunrises and twists and turns, which some romantic reads don't.
Overall, this is a read to check out and have some fun reading.
