“THE VAMPIRE'S BRIDE, first in the Maverick House series (this I named myself since there is 2nd book related (THE VAMPIRE'S KISS) and hopefully soon, the 3rd book of this series.
Alaric, our hero, a vampire and Josephine, our heroine, a mortal, have had a relationship in the past but as Alaric is back and forth into Josephine's life, she wanted stability and decided to begin anew a relationship with a mortal that she would be able to settle down with. As she's about to marry for convenience, not love but Alaric once again shows up, this time on her wedding day. As Alaric shows up, he is determined to not have her marry the mortal and instead marry him. But she's refusing, believing that the only reason he wants to marry her suddenly is because if he marries, he gets Maverick House! Alaric and Josephine steam up the pages of this book! Alaric is a tease, his way to not show his feelings. But Josephine wants the commitment and love from him. Alaric also has a cousin Richard who wants his rights to Maverick house and Alaric is determined to beat him to it and have it first! I so enjoyed Richard, the cousin in this book and read right to the second book after this one! He is a fun character.
The legends of Maverick house begin to be told in this book and even more so in the second book, THE VAMPIRE'S KISS. So this whole theme and legend flows within 3 books and so can't wait to read the 3rd book which will be Polly's story, the witch who is discovering the secrets to them having the house. For Alaric, its for him to marry. I loved how this legend of Maverick House was given in each of the books. Makes me so look forward to the last book that will give us those last clues! For me, this worked with the legend of Maverick House being told in parts in each book of the series. A fun and sexy read! ”
