Review: Taken by the Vampire King

Title: Taken by the Vampire King
Publication date:
Series: Baton Rouge Vampires #1

Summary: Never make a deal with a billionaire, particularly one who’s a vampire . . .

The deal is simple: spend a month with a mysterious billionaire who is the owner of Louisiana’s La Petite Mort Casino, and he’ll forget my father’s gambling debts. If it means saving our family home and business, I’ll do anything.

With his strong, sexy, take charge arrogance, Nicolas Dupont is a mystery to me. But it doesn’t matter how hot he is. This is purely a business arrangement. Nic can have any woman he wants and it makes no sense that he'd be interested in a virgin like me. I’m certainly not about to fall for a guy who thinks he can own me.

So I go hunting for a way to free myself. When I discover I’m the hunted, and there are those who want my blood, Nic claims he can protect me. But can I trust one of his kind?

When this began, I thought I might lose everything. Now I’m not sure if I’ll make it out alive . . .

*Taken by the Vampire King is 66k words, is the first book in a trilogy, and ends on a cliffhanger. It's recommended for 18+

Review: I was looking for a short, quick read to get me out of my book slump and my oh my. This book absolutely did that, I'm actually going to have to read the rest of the series now. Unfortunately I have a book due in a few days so I will be reading that first. Plus, the third and final book doesn't come out until November. I think my only dislike of the novel is they make him seem more like a demon or the devil rather than a vampire.
