From Goodreads:
Tara’s eccentric aunt raised her
to be fearful of the world and follow the rules. But after her aunt’s death,
Tara is ready to take control and experience life for the first time. But she
quickly discovers that everything she’s been told is a web of lies. Determined
to solve the mystery of who she is truly, she hires private investigator to
help her uncover the truth.
Christian Roth is more than your average PI. A vampire and ex-demon hunter, Christian lives among the humans, trying to be “normal.” But recently, things seem to be falling apart. There’s a crazed demon hell-bent on revenge hunting him down, and a fae assassin on the loose with an unknown target. And the Order he abandoned desperately needs his help.
As the secrets of Tara’s past collide with the problems in Christian’s present, she finds herself fighting her attraction to the dark and mysterious investigator. Falling in love does not fit into her plans at all, but Tara soon learns that some rules are meant to be broken.

I la big fan of Nina Croft! I loved Bittersweet
Blood, it was definitely what I’ve come to expect from this author. Tara, has
grown up completely sheltered from the world. When her aunt dies, she embarks
on a mission to experience the world and find out who she is. Christian Roth is
a private investigator. Oh, and did I mention a sexy as hell, badass, vampire?
Tara approaches him to find out where she is from and in the process, he
discovers she is more part of his world than the one she's trying to find her
way in. Dark things are stirring on the supernatural side. Christian fights to
discover the culprit of the unrest and along the way, discovers that he must
protect Tara, since she is also being hunted.
Christian Roth will get your blood
pumping. He's a sexy combination of dark/danger and chivalry. His fierce
protectiveness and passionate love for Tara are a hot combination.
“I’d hoped
you would come to me because you couldn’t stay away. […]
Each night I’ve awoken
and fought the urge to come to you.
Claim you. Force you to accept what you are
and what we could have.”
Tara is
sweet and trying to be brave. She drove me a little crazy from time to time,
but I loved her anyway. She discovers her bravery eventually and that redeemed
her idiotic need to have a “normal” life. She is a fun and her chemistry with
Christian is dreamy.
“Of
course, it could be that the whole ‘breaking the rules’'
thing was just screwing
with her mind, that right now, she
was predisposed to seeing weirdness in
everything.”
Nina Croft has does a great job of
keeping a smirk on my face. Her dialogue is witty and the sarcasm is so very
dry…my favorite kind! The story kept me interested and there were definitely
some unexpected twists. Overall, I really enjoyed it and am looking forward to
Piers’ story!
