Product Description

Be Careful What You Wish For...

Only a woman with nothing left to lose knocks on a vampire's door and asks for help. Shannah Davis is convinced that the mysterious dark-haired man she's followed for months can save her life if he doesn't kill her first. But though Ronan insists he can't give her what she needs, his kiss unleashes a primal hunger that makes her feel truly alive for the first time.

After centuries of existence, Ronan has done the unthinkable. He has fallen in love with a mortal and one with only weeks to live. Sensing the fear and reluctance beneath Shannah's request, he offers her a different bargain that will keep her near him during the time she has left. Every hour spent together leaves him craving her touch, her scent, her life's essence. Soon, only Shannah can satisfy his thirst. But if he saves her from death, will she love him for it or spend eternity regretting what she has become?

From Publishers Weekly
When Shannah, dying of an obscure, incurable disease, passes out on the stoop of Ronan, who is a vampire, two birds are killed with one stone: Ronan moonlights as a romance author and needs a woman to pretend to be him on tours (especially during the daylight hours); Shannah needs Ronan's blood to stay alive. As he coaches her to impersonate him and feeds her, Ronan falls more and more in love. And with each passing day, Shannah's body grows weaker, but she resists being turned into a vampire because she doesn't want to lose her humanity entirely. It's the age-old vampire-human dilemma, given a clever and funny turn by Night's Touch author Ashley. (Feb.)

Customer Reviews

good plot, poorly written
I read three quarters of the book and then had to stop. The book is very slow and took me the entire time reading it to become interested. It is a decent story, but there is no depth to the book. I thought the dialogue was awful and Shannon was naive and dumb. Not quite sure how the book ended, but could not take any more of this book. Not sure if I will read this author again. Don't waste your time.

My Favorite!
I have read all of Amanda Ashley's books, and I have to say this is one of the best of them! I thought is was a perfect love story and well done. I was completely captivated and couldn't put the book down!

Predictable, but quick easy fun read
This is actually the first book I have read by Amanda Ashley... I have recently fallen in love with paranormal romance and was instantly drawn to the plot as described on the back of this book.

I read this book in exactly eight hours (with a few breaks) and was fairly entertained throughout. Although I found the story a bit predictable, and the characters a little shallow, it was entertaining and made me want to see how it turned out. The story moved along at a good pace and, although the I completely foresaw where Ashley was taking the story, I was happy to follow her trail.

I wouldn't recommend this book to anyone who has a limited amount of time to read... I mean, really, there are much grander books out there if you really want to budget your time wisely. However, if time is on your side and you quite literally just want a brain numbing bit of fun, pick this one up!
