Everlasting Desire

For our anniversary in May, Matt and I decided to gift each other books to fit into the first-year “paper” theme. As part of my gift, he got me this vampire romance novel, and as he gave it to me, he commented, “This looked like a winner.” (I have a long history of enjoying stupid dracula romance novels. In college, a few friends and I would buy the really poorly written ones and annotate them for giggles.) Well, for a “winner,” I'm a little embarrassed that I really, really enjoyed reading this book. The plot was entertaining, the writing was decent and it didn't have annoyingly passive female leads. There's lots of drama and terrible nicknames and marriage proposals and backstabbery (har har). Megan works the late shift at a high-end celebrity retail boutique, and one night 500-year-old vampire Rhys enters the store and basically falls in love with her on sight. But Rhys can't devote his full attention to her, because there's a dracula even older than he is that is killing humans and other vampires all over the country, and is headed toward Rhys' territory.
