Book Summary: Lady Elyssa Yamato Amaterasu Wentworth is a centuries-old vampire who’s been given a new servant-Jacob, a total alpha male unaccustomed to submitting to any woman’s wishes. What really binds Jacob to her are not her sensual midnight hungers, but something far more provocative. It stirs her blood, renews her life, and awakens her soul like only true love can. The passion between Elyssa and Jacob yields something else unexpected-a shared history that reaches back through the centuries and is fated to challenge their destiny like nothing ever will again.



In this book, the first in a series , we meet Lady Lyssa (vampire queen) and Jacob (her human servant). In a world where vampires have no regard for humans there is an attraction between them that goes beyond the submissive servant that she requires. This story is passionate,erotic and one you definitely can’t put down until you find out what happens to the two soul mates ! Definitely a keeper and I would highly recommend getting the whole series as Lyssa and Jacobs story concludes in the next book “Mark of the Vampire Queen”, with characters from these books having their stories told in the following books!

What can I say. This was not what I was expecting and I am so pleased by that. I was expecting a book written as a period piece, not that I would have minded that, but I am really impressed with the way the story unfolded and was delivered in modern day, with modern references.
I love the characters, Jacob, of course being my favourite. A roguish Irishman with the soul of a pure gentleman. I love how he is introduced and first meets the vampire queen Lyssa, as it drew me in and captured my curiosity which is something I enjoy immensely when reading a new book. Also though, the minor characters of Rex, Carnal and Thomas help to bind the story together making it more believable and real.
I love how Jacob and Lyssa interact. There is an erotic sensuality that is so strong that you can almost feel like you are apart of the relationship that is forming, even though Lyssa is fighting every step of the way, but at the same time there is a cruelty in her that you almost expect from a vampire, to explode out at any minute.
There is always an underlying current of fear and anxiousness with Jacob always wanting to protect Lyssa, and Lyssa trying to fight off other vampires who are trying to undermine her authority, and overthrow her, throwing the vampire council into turmoil and unleashing a savage cruelty on the unsuspecting world. But she fights on keeping her mysterious illness to herself as long as she can to avoid showing weakness.
Overall this was very easy to read and I really enjoyed it. I wouldn’t be disappointed if there was a lot more to the story.
