Book Description

Can you imagine Twilight with carriages, ballgowns, gloves, and corsets? With prim and proper manners, and the wealthy, powerful dukes and lords of London Society?

And then what happens when Voss, the most jaded vampire of them all, falls for a lovely, innocent debutante. She has a sassy wit, a delicious scent...and information he needs desperately.

Plus, her brother is a vampire hunter.

Enter the world of the Draculia, where
In 19th Century London, vampires live alongside the uppercrust members of Society...
Even after centuries of lust, hedonism, and women, Voss, the Viscount Dewhurst, rarely finds himself bored. As a member of the Dracule, he is a rogue of the first order, a man who loves nothing more than a warm woman, excellent vintage, and even a puzzling challenge to keep his mind active.

But when one of his seemingly harmless manipulations sets him on the path to seduce the beautiful Miss Angelica Woodmore, things become a little less simple…a lot more passionate…and definitely more complicated.

And when the most evil vampire of the Dracule puts Angelica in his sights, Voss will have to risk everything to save her…and possibly his own soul.

My Thoughts

When I delved into this book most of what I read about it compared it to Twilight in ballgowns. For me, it was more of Interview With a Vampire meet Bridgeton. 

As a lover of anything that has a vampire lead had my attention I was immediately ready to dive in,. 

I loved that the author gave us a glimpse into Voss's past but also kept him mysterious. this kept me coming back wanting to know more.

Our heroine Angelica was a spitfire. Proper but yet rebellious and I loved that Colleen didn't have her immediately falling for Voss. In fact, I thought her ability to see through his one-liners and his attempt to seduce her was a sign of strength. 

Colleen did a great job with the description of the time period, the manners and she gave me everything I wanted. A vampire, a strong beautiful woman, and a once that didn't happen overnight. 

This book for me was everything Iwanted and more and I can't wait to read the next one.
