Review: This was an amazing story. Each book in the Vamp Mates Series focuses on a different romantic couple. To enjoy the overall story arc and crossover characters, we recommend reading the series in sequential order. It keeps me from getting a bit lost in the stories and gives me an insight in to their world. A world that captured my attention from the start and kept it all the way to the end. I love the way each character just mixes with the others. How fast they are to defend what is theirs and what they believe. Then there is how fast they get into the mood to punish their mates.
I got a kick out of this story because not only do you have vampires, humans but also you get a ghost with this one. Conlin was breaking into a blood bank to keep his little brother alive. His brother had been turned into a vampire one year ago, but Darrin never felt comfortable in taking blood from a human. He feared that he would kill them, so Conlin and Ghost would break in and take blood. Oh, they left money for the blood they took, but all he wanted was to keep his brother alive. What he had not expected was to not only be caught but to be caught by one of the owners. An owner that turned out to be totally drool worthy. Tristan was someone he wanted very badly.
Tristan had found his mate, now he had to talk his little mate into it. Although arguing with a ghost made him exasperated, he knew that he would have to take what he wanted. He was falling in love with Conlin, but boy did this man drive him insane. Conlin loved his mate, but his brother, Ghost and himself were not feeling very cared for. However when they tried to leave, they came across a danger that would make them fear. A danger that showed Ghost who he truly was. A danger that had Tristan fighting to keep his mate safe. Even if it took a bit of spanking and cuffing him to the bed to show him where he belonged.
I loved this story although when she brought the characters from book one in and had them sleeping with women I kind of lost interest. To me mates don’t sleep with anyone but each other. So that was the hardest part about this story. Other than that, it was really good. I would recommend reading it. It gives you sexy men, vampires, ghost and other paranormal beings, excitement and danger. I would recommend reading the first book though, because it does give you a hint of what they are about.
