All she wants to do was relax and forget that Otis Crump has  been stalking her from his maximum security jail cell.<\/p>\n<p>Relaxation isn\u2019t something her grandmother has in mind though. Her grandmother is determined to see twenty-four year old Olivia engaged, married, or have a significant other by the time she leaves the island. Olivia is getting assaulted by so many single men it wouldn\u2019t be surprising to discover she\u2019s secretly the new <em>\u201cBachelorette\u201d<\/em>. It doesn\u2019t help that Olivia has \u201ca gift\u201d and can read other people\u2019s emotions and knows when they\u2019re lying. This kind of puts a damper on a relationship.<\/p>\n<p>Then one wakeful night she goes outside and see\u2019s a mysterious figure jogging on the beach. Olivia, being her grandmother\u2019s daughter, takes her grandmother\u2019s telescope and uses it not to watch the stars, but the man running; and what a man he is.  What is even more intriguing about this man is that she can\u2019t read him.<\/p>\n<p>Robby MacKay is determined to get into shape again after being brutally tortured by <em>\u201cThe Malcontents\u201d<\/em>. His great great great grandfather Angus decides that a vacation, and a therapist is just what Robby needs. Robby agrees to the vacation, but not the therapist. He decides to go and stay at a covenant member\u2019s house on the Greek island of Patmos.  Course he\u2019s not going there for the sunny beaches. That\u2019s because Robby is a vampire.<\/p>\n<p>Not the sparkly kind, but the real dead during the day, drinks non-animal blood, only come out at night vampire. Course he has a few abilities up his sleeve including teleportation, super strength, hearing, and sight. He\u2019s practically a nocturnal superman with his kryptonite being silver. Now one night as Robby is jogging on the beach he spots what he believes to be an angel. Now he has on authority from Anakin Skywalker that angels are the most beautiful things in the galaxy, but they live on the moons of Iego, so obviously this woman can\u2019t be one; perhaps a goddess. Whatever she is, Robby is intrigued and so the story begins.<\/p>\n<p>This book was different for me because I rather like the plotline, but hated the romance. I mean hated. There was no buildup or even friendship for Robby and Olivia. It was merely <em>\u201cYou\u2019re hot. No you\u2019re hot. We\u2019re both hot. Let\u2019s have sex\u201d. <\/em>This is after knowing each other for two days. They also greatly love each other after knowing each other for only TWO DAYS. It\u2019s like they needed <em>\u201cTrue Love&#8217;s Kiss\u201d <\/em>from Enchanted playing in the background. Perhaps some fields to frolic through.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s completely unrealistic and seems like lazy writing. Something I find highly troublesome since the main plotline of a serial killer being obsessed with Olivia and stalking her was engrossing and well done. I really wanted Olivia to end up with J.L at the end. They had more chemistry to me than she did with Robby, which seemed to be all about sex and good looks. To me Robby + Olivia = love based on sex and lust of each other. Olivia + J\/.L = friendship, mutual respect, and the right road for a healthy and happy relationship.  All I could think at the end was that divorce court would be in Robby and Olivia\u2019s future since you can\u2019t expect a relationship to last on mere lust and the ability to not be able to read the other\u2019s mind.  It just doesn\u2019t happen, but this is Kerrelyn\u2019s world and she can do what she wants.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Rating:<\/strong> <span style=\"color: #0000ff;\">7 (Good) <\/span> Awesome plotline, but I had trouble with the romance aspect of it.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Heat-Level: <\/strong><span style=\"color: #800080;\">3: (Sensual)<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #800080;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.goodreads.com\/user\/show\/2814075\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2704\" title=\"Melissa\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/smittenbybooks.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/03\/Melissa1.png?resize=540%2C148\" alt=\"\" width=\"540\" height=\"148\" \/><\/a><br \/>\n<\/span><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<!--themify_builder_content-->\n<div id=\"themify_builder_content-3038\" data-postid=\"3038\" class=\"themify_builder_content themify_builder_content-3038 themify_builder tf_clear\">\n    <\/div>\n<!--\/themify_builder_content-->\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Vampire and the Virgin Author: Kerrelyn Sparks Publisher: Avon\/HarperCollins Pub.
