Life has never been simple for Allie Chambers, but it's just become much more complicated by her need to fulfill her promise to care for her friend's now orphaned son. Babies are hard enough, but he's an immortal baby and as he begins to need more blood than Allie can provide him herself, she gets desperate and tries to rob the blood bank where she works. She wakes up surrounded by police and two detectives she recognizes as immortals and instantly fears, though one of them, Magnus, she finds instantly and strangely compelling.
Magnus is thrilled to finally have a potential life mate. He never expected an attempted felon, but it soon becomes apparent that Allie has more dangerous ties to the immortal world than even she knew. Now Magnus must keep her safe from the rogue immortals pursuing her and her son as well as convince her to take a chance on loving and trusting another person and accepting the passion she'll only find with him.
This book was a light and fun read in parts and equally suspenseful in others. I had a hard time keeping all the characters straight at times, but I loved all the family and friends coming together and the homey family vibe this book had because of it. That said, the homeyness did take away from the steaminess of it and made Magnus and Allie's relationship take a bit of a backseat at times. This was far from my usual romance jam, but I continue to be charmed by this series and want more of it.
I voluntarily read and reviewed an advanced copy of this book. All thoughts and opinions are my own.
