From The Publisher:
That hot guy tied to Lissianna Argeneau's bed? He's not dessert-he's the main course!
Lissianna has been spending her centuries pining for Mr. Right, not just a quick snack, and this sexy guy she finds in her bed looks like he might be a candidate. But there's another, more pressing issue: her tendency to faint at the sight of blood . . . an especially annoying quirk for a vampire. Of course, it doesn't hurt that this man has a delicious-looking neck. What kind of cold-blooded vampire woman could resist a bite of that?
Dr. Gregory Hewitt recovers from the shock of waking up in a stranger's bedroom pretty quickly-once he sees a gorgeous woman about to treat him to a wild night of passion. But is it possible for the good doctor to find true love with a vampire vixen, or will he be just a good meal? That's a question Dr. Greg might be willing to sink his teeth into . . . if he can just get Lissianna to bite.

Listened to audiobook and I didn't like the reader's voice. After getting over her voice and just focusing on the book, I was able to continue and finally finish it.
Ok, I know, vampires are supernatural and all authors have their interpretation of their origins, but Atlantis and nanites? Uh-huh
The "mystery" of the story wasn't much of one. It was pretty obvious, to me, from the beginning of the story and that's never a good sign.
The "romance" between Lissy and Greg was different, (in the way that he was presented to her by her mother for her birthday) and at times interesting. A vampire who faints at the sight of blood? :)
But, sadly, over all the book for me was just OK. I am not sure if I'll continue with the series, but was happy to see that later books received higher reader ratings/reviews and on two GR "best of" lists. Maybe the Argeneau series is worth continuing, maybe not.
It was okay but there was nothing special about it. I didn’t like the formula of the insta-love. The genesis of the vampire kind was quite unique. I am interested in Thomas story, so maybe I will read the other books some day.
