Alaan Serati, Seeker for the Vampire Council of Ethics (V.C.O.E.), is the most
eligible bachelor of Clan Serati. But he’s not interested in a relationship,
after the death of his mate, Sher, many years ago. In fact, he’s vowed not to
get involved again with anyone, and he’s been celibate since Sher’s death. His
vow (and his celibacy) is constantly tested by Tameth Serati-Cole, the only
female Seeker in the V.C.O.E. Just being around her puts Alaan on a slow boil
of lust. When Head Seeker, Jon Bixler, takes a sabbatical and Alaan becomes Head Seeker with Tameth as his second in command, the sparks fly and his vow and his celibacy fall by the way side. When they come together, Alaan and Tameth are so smokin’ hot that the pixels on your computer screen may start to glow. When they hunt the rogue vampire that killed Alaan’s mate, there are twists and turns and misunderstandings between these two that endangers the bond growing between them. Alaan doesn’t understand Tameth’s relationship with Kenoe Hatsept, another Seeker. Tameth is so concerned about Alaan’s willingness to commit after so many years of being alone that she refuses the final step in their relationship – to bite back. Odd for a vampire, but totally logical when you think about it. Alaan’s past reappears to haunt them and to mess up the hunt for the rogue. And this rogue is not only bad, he’s a nutball! Sort of like the worst of the James Bond villains. As Alaan and Tameth work through their commitment issues, they turn to Carinian and Jon Bixler, the hero and heroine of the first novel in this series, for advice. Carinian shows the same spunk and attitude that made her the heroine of her book, and Bix’s development shows the tenderness of a true Alpha hero for his mate and his family. So why not a perfect 5 rating? I thought that the misunderstandings went on a little too long, particularly for two people who are supposed to be able to read each other’s minds. Insecurity can be good for some tension in the story – if it goes for too long, it can be a bit tiresome. For me, that’s what happened. At one point, I wanted to smack them both and tell them to “Snap out of it” in my best Moonstruck voice. That being said, this is still a great addition to the V.C.O.E. series. I can’t wait for the next one, when Kenoe gets his!
