Description:
Desiree Edwards has a problem. Sheโs been attacked, kidnapped and forced to get along with a vampire of all things. Itโs something right out of the story books she reads, or her worst nightmare. But, sometimes heโs not the monster he appears to be. He seems so humanlike that she canโt help it when her emotions betray her, when her body betrays her. To make matters worse, she finds out more about herself than she ever wanted to know.
She was unlike any otherโฆ
Alec has a problem. The animal in him wants Desiree. But, so does the man. The more he learns about her, the harder it is to deny what he wants. But, heโs a freak, and sheโs just a human. The two species donโt mix that way. Then an old enemy surfaces and Alec is forced to make a choice. His life or hers.
Can Alecโs soul be saved by this unique human? Or will it be far too late?
Review:
Second Nature by Marie Lavender is the first book in her Blood at First Sight series. It is set in a world much like our own, (with the exception of vampires, werewolves)
Desiree is a recently divorced young woman, who has decided to immerse herself in her work. She has friends and family but is starting to feel like she needs a different path to follow, work or personal, she just hasnโt decided which one yet to choose.
Alec is a vampire, he was โmadeโ when another vampire changed him by accident during the civil war !! Having no โsireโ to show him how to be a vampire, Alec has made his own way in the works, he has a few rules he tries to live by, one being never drain a โhumanโ and never leave a memory behind (so he erases their memory after feeding)
When Alec spots Desiree at a Jazz and Blues Festival he is captured by her. There is an attraction between Desiree and Alec that neither one of them can deny, no matter how hard Desiree tries to deny it. There is also a bond that neither one of them can explain. Desiree has some kind of connection that Alec has never experienced before with anyone else, and he wants to explore this and his feelings for Desiree further.
There are a couple of plot twists that kept the story interesting. Even though this is book one of a series, there is no cliffhanger.
The story is written well, and although both have their say, I never got confused with who was thinking what.
