Summary:

Micah Marius is fourth of seven brothers, warriors that fight against the demons of his world. He's used to fighting hard, being in life or death situations on a daily basis, and pushing the softer part of his personality to the side.

He isn’t prepared for his reaction when he meets Riley, a sexy little vampire doctor and his fated mate. Hell, Micah isn’t even gay, but he can’t seem to control his reaction to the man that he knows belongs to him.

Riley is a vampire doctor. He’s also unconventional, secretive, and dealing with a heavy case of lust toward the warrior in his care.

Kalyko’s Review:

My first thought upon starting this book was this is one sexy story and everything that I read after that confirmed the opinion over and over again. Actually, the blurb is where I really started drooling over the sexy warrior and his vampire doctor, but getting to know the characters brought to life by Joyee Flynn was a real treat. Man! Those vampire warriors are something else... even better is that Micah’s six brothers are also warriors. Ooh la la. To say that I’m looking forward to reading the other stories in this series is a major understatement.

Micah; now there’s a sexy, sexy man... uh, vampire. I love that he’s not afraid to love a man, even though he’s never ever been attracted to one before. There’s something about Riley that supersedes gender and whatever it is Micah wants him... now and forever. He’s a fierce warrior, but he’s also extremely protective of those he loves and now Riley is under his protection. Micah’s pretty much an ‘it-is-what-it-is’ kinda guy and, for the most part, he’s fairly laid-back... until something happens to his Riley. Not a pretty scene.

Riley, wow! His life has been anything but easy. The only one in his life is his grandmother and for her he’d do anything. When he first sees Micah he’s, hmmm, gobsmacked comes to mind as a reaction. And then to realize that this warrior is his mate, but not gay really sends him for a loop. He’s spent years and years keeping his heart protected and now, in one fell swoop, Riley’s finding that the walls he’s built aren’t sufficient to keep Micah out.

I adore both Micah and Riley, even though they are so very different, but they are each extremely loyal, dedicated and have a strong belief in family. Joyee Flynn has come up with two characters that take my breath away and I dearly hope that we get to see more of them in the future. After all, they’re both part of the Marius clan now.

The proliferation of vampire stories over the past few years has made me a very happy reader; a statement which, a few years ago, I would have strongly refuted. But along the way I discovered that not all vampire stories are created equal. Ms. Flynn’s world of vamps is definitely among my favourites. I love that these aren’t bloodsucking, soul-destroying monsters. Well, yes they need blood, but they’re not out wantonly destroying... okay well some of them are—hence the need for the warriors—but then any ‘race’ has it’s good guys and it’s bad guys and in romantic adventures you’ve got to have ‘em both. And in this most tempting tale—Micah—there’s adventure, battles and a hot and very sexy romance. What more could a fan of the genre want? Ms. Flynn has earned another fan and I couldn’t be happier. Now, if I could just get the rest of the stories now. *grin*
