LynnMarie’s Review

Josephine is an average woman trying to survive in the world, until she meets Alaric by accident. He pulls her into his world of sex and blood and she willingly goes along for the ride. When he disappears on her, months later, she’s devastated and forced to move on with her life without him. He returns on her wedding day, insisting that she’s marrying the wrong man. She wants to believe that the vampire loves her, but she’s doubtful.

Though the plot itself is weak, centering on the Maverick house that we learn little about, the characters were fun and distinct. The love/hate relationship between all the characters was humorous and sexy.

The second ‘lust’ interest, Richard, would make a great character for a sequel. He is sexy, dominant and takes what he wants…including Josephine a few times. I loved the scene where he leaves her high and dry.

If you like a light, sexy read with paranormal elements and an uninhibited heroine, The Vampire’s Bride may be just for you.
