I've been following this series since the start. At first, I would hate the cliffhangers, but now I have grown accustomed to it. So yes, spoiler alert, we are in for another cliffhanger. However, I will say that in this book it feels fulfilling. This has a full story that continues with the ongoing relationship drama for the characters that I feel like it even progresses just enough with the plot of the new book. Black and Green gets into a whole new crazy ass drama that risks their relationships and her health. This book is obvious by the title it goes into Mr. Blackbourne and Dr. Green and their feelings for Sang. It goes into their history and their friendship. and we even see strong emotions from Mr. Blackbourne.

Since I have been around the block with this series, I have to talk about the whole series. The start was good but quick, and you wanted more. Then there was the crazy conflict and then you would get angry with the cliffhangers and again a little quickly written. This book feels like professional level, that has made me decide that I will see this out. I will read til I get to the end. . . Whenever the hell that is going to bed. But it finally feels like this series has a plan for how it wants to get to the end. Before it felt like meeting the boys, having conflict, and tension. What I mean is the authors writing is growing with this series.

This was a different take on how a vampire-human relationship drama can happen in an urban fantasy novel. Most books have that typical male vampire in a romance book who is always brooding around, or resistant to the relationship. This was different because this is a man with feelings. He has a past that has left him "emotionally wounded" so he doesn't form attachments. That ordinary, but he has aged beyond and is aware of these issues.

So Vincent is like a cop in a modern time when people know about vampires and it seems like he really isn't an actual copy and he's like a helper. One thing I didn’t like about this confusing  "job position" he has is because it seems like the humans were always able to keep up, or do just as good as him. It's not bad just different, and I didn't like that. So I don't like his job, but I like him as an individual.

Mila was an interesting character to read. She had humor, she felt naïve, but just was also strong in the sense that "Life ain't gonna keep her down." She becomes a witness after she is almost killed by a psycho vamp that she meets on some V-date site.Vincent is the one who ends up saving her just in time from the killer. Then things get complicated as the two fight their mutual attraction towards one another. 

I did get a free copy of this book from the publisher to read and I would still recommend it. I think some people would love to read a true gentleman like Vincent
