4 STARS!!

 Description:
Rowan Harper is a smart-mouthed bookstore clerk with a crappy love life on the night she walks into Rosie's Bar. Most of the drama in her life is borrowed from her best friend's adventures. But when she meets Gabriel--tall and movie star gorgeous--everything changes. Never mind that she turns down the drink he offers, or that he brims with secrets she can't begin to guess at. He ignites a desire in her she never suspected--and shows a fascination with her she can't explain.

He has no family, no job, no bank account; he knows where she lives and her favorite flower. An aura of mystery cloaks him, even as Rowan grasps for facts, even as she fears an answer that could destroy her happiness. Gabriel can guide her through a wonderland of new sensations. But only if Rowan trusts him enough to follow. . .

My thoughts:
This was a great story! Rowan was a lonely bookworm type that had a disastrous dating history.  She is fiesty and doesn't take crap from anyone which I love. She's snarky and quick witted and 
some of her comments had my cracking up! An all around perfect heroine in my opinion!

Gabriel is drop dead GORGEOUS and mysterious. Who doesn't love that in a hero? And from the title you can guess that he is a vampire. I love how he was with Rowan *sigh* so sweet. You know that he is total alpha material but with Rowan he was patient and loving. And hawt! Did I mention that he was hawt? Yeah well he is! So much so that Rowan can't understand why she would be of interest to him.

When Rowan first sees Gabriel she is hit with a sense of deja vu. She doesn't understand the feeling because she has never met him before. Rowan does try to keep Gabriel at bay not trusting his intentions but he pursues her. And as he wiggles his way into her life she realizes how little she knows about him, and what little he reveals to her isn't reassuring. Rowan is convinced that he may be involved in a life of crime, because that has got to be the reason for all the mystery right? Uh...no.

The plot was smoothly written and very entertaining. The story did start to drag for me a little in the middle but that was only because I was anxious to know more about Gabriel! The last 25% of the book flew by and that is where I was truly hooked on the storyline! I love the twist on the vampire world that the author takes in this world. Very intriguing! I will warn you that this book does end on a cliffhanger so you will definitely want to pick up book two. I recommend A Vampire's Promise if you like your PNR mixed with a bit of UF.

* I received this book from the publisher through NetGalley in exchange for an honest review.
