Rafe Varik The troublemaker. The risk taker. The sexy club owner full of wicked promises. Rafe has devoted his immortal existence to pleasure and causing mischief. The only ones who can depend on him are his brothers. Of course, that's very much a Varik thing. But when the leader of the Arsenault clan specifically requests Rafe's help in tracking down a killer, he can't say no. Sure, Rafe claims he's doing it for his family. They've attracted too many enemies and could use a few allies. That's not the whole truth, though. There's something about Philippe Arsenault that draws Rafe in. He wants more of Philippe. The vampire leaves him longing for another second in his presence, another taste of his lips, another caress of those perfect fingers. Yet when it's all over, what will become of Philippe and Rafe? Because Philippe will always be an Arsenault, and Rafe will always be a Varik. Saving Rafe is the second book in an MM paranormal romance series that has vampires, betrayal, annoying brothers, music, heartbreak, hope, sexy times, and a pair of star-crossed lovers.

This book was so much better than the first. The characters were infinitely more likeable and the plot made a lot more sense with better execution. I'm glad I kept reading despite not caring for the first book of the series. The author seems to have this world more sussed out and dropped almost all of the outside world/human nonsense that cluttered [b:Claiming Marcus 53168746 Claiming Marcus (Lords of Discord, #1) Jocelynn Drake https://i.gr-assets.com/images/S/compressed.photo.goodreads.com/books/1571936989l/53168746.SX50_SY75.jpg 73640295]. Rafe and Philippe are a pretty organic couple and, while they fall into bed a little too quickly, there is still some tension there that makes it feel plausible and not unexpected. I would have liked to “meet” or at least learn more about the Arsenault household before their end, but the book was focused more on Rafe so it's understandable they all ended up as plot fodder. I'm also interested in more of Philippe's past - it's hinted that he's French and had a sadistic maker but it doesn't give much more information than that.I was also surprised that a witch character was added, and half expected the wolves described to be were but that didn't happen. Rafe mentioned multiple times that they didn't seem like normal wolves but they just leave after the big fight so that was kind of a waste of time. Overall, I really enjoyed this book and hope the any subsequent books don't disappoint. I'm very interested in both Winter and Bel's stories.
