Lord of the Vampires by Gena Showalter
2.0
2 1/2 and I struggled to decided between a 2 and 3 but really too much of this was meh..
1. Hero is arrogant, self center and cannot remember who he is.This isn't revealed until the end and I cannot understand through the whole book why she likes him other than feeling sorry for him. Still this wasn't enough of an explanation.
2. The heroine, Jane, is so amazing at taking pain that she doesn't cry out but laughs. Well, then later in another situation, again doesn't cry out, yet Nicolae hears her screams of terror. What? When? I was waiting for her version and when she cries out, she never does. Yet he finds her by the screams and then the tie.
3. We get a flat vision, explained of her life and then more put in. She had an accident which killed all her family but her. She is in a wheel chair but later we understand is just starting to be able to walk. She has no reaction to her new mobility. Or is, just starting to walk, able to run also as she does later in the book. Hmm... Also she is a scientist studying the paranormal including vampires, did this come after the accident.
4. Why would a vampire blame her and curse her over the other scientist, especially if she is crippled?
5. Argh, too many more, and most of the characters seem as dumb as rocks, including Nicolae, so I'm not sure why she likes him at all.
There is a storyline and it is OK, I liked a couple of parts but really this is a skip as a recommend to anyone else, maybe a old school paranormal, bodice ripper, but really there are better of those too. Overall a MEH from me.

Forces a woman to come, but she only comes in spirit, so when the reason is revealed, he makes her forget and puts her in a very dangerous situation.2.
