Her Vampire Rebel by Zara Zenia
3.0
I would give this book 3, maybe 3.5 stars. I am not big on vampire romances, but it wasn't too bad. I liked most of the characters, and wonder if Bella will be indoctrinated into the vampire world.
I think with both Carolyn and James having their own unique brand of stalker, that made the book more interesting. They had a LOT of sex. The book needed both of their back stories to give it a bit of heft. To be honest, I would have been happy with even more info. James did not seem nearly as feral or dangerous as vampires in previous books I have read.
For example, finding out how Carolyn's stalker kept finding her. Also, the scene where she called James and then took a shower before she left. She didn't call the police. She didn't call James as she was going out the door. No. She took a shower. That was weird behavior. She was kind of flighty, not mindful of her circumstances, or situations around her. James seemed more sophisticated or at least more mature. This chick did a lot of really dumb stuff.
James was not as eager to fulfill Carolyn's wishes for a change. Even while wanting to give her what she wanted as badly as he wanted. He still held off. I really liked that about his character. His thoughts were for her, and not himself.
This book was very fast paced and I wish there had been a little more to it. James and Carolyn got their HEA. An epilogue would have been nice. This was an entertaining, quick, steamy romance.
