ABOUT THIS BOOK:
Ben Rosewood never meant to be bound to a vampire succubus, especially one as sexy-yet-terrifying as Eleanora Bettencourt-Devereux, but he has to admit there are some fang-tastic perks….
Werewolf Ben Rosewood is happy with his life. One hundred percent. Everything is fine. His business, Ben’s Plant Emporium, is thriving, and he’s even expanding the shop. His anxiety disorder is…well, it’s been better, but that comes with the territory of running a business and having beastly urges every full moon, right? As for romance—who has the time? Though his family is desperate to see him settled, Ben is fine approaching forty as a single werewolf. But after drunkenly bidding on and winning a supposedly-possessed crystal on eBay one night, he finds himself face-to-face with a beautiful but angry vampire.
Eleanora Bettencourt-Devereux is a rare breed—a vampire succubus born from two elite European bloodlines during medieval times. But thanks to an evil witch, she’s been stuck in a crystal since she was thirty, forced to obey orders from the possessor of the rock. Eleanora’s been dreaming of breaking the spell and severing the witch’s head for centuries. But did this witch really sell her to someone new, and for only ninety-nine cents?
Eleanora would claw this werewolf’s heart out and eat it, if only the binding spell would allow her to. But Eleanora and Ben soon realize they can help each other with both vengeful and less hostile needs. And why not have a little fun along the way?

I at first found the character of Eleonore very prickly in a slightly annoying way, but I quickly warmed to her. Her almost childlike way of learning about the modern world was very endearing (even if I can’t get behind her love of Star Trek) and her surprise love of the stage was so sweet. I really appreciated the author’s way of describing Eleonore’s trauma and trauma reactions without judgment and in a very truthful and realistic way (or, as realistic a way as you can get with a 600 year old vampire succubus).
I always liked Ben. Giant dude who likes plants and knitting? Sign me up! I find Ben to be such a darling and likable character. With the last two main characters having very complicated relationships with their families, it was a nice change of pace to see his family be so kind and supportive. His kindness and warmth, as well as his very relatable generalized anxiety, really shine through, making him an excellent non-toxic male lead.
The spice? Spicy. I actually was a little disappointed by the actual *event*, but the rest of the spice in the book more than made up for that and I was honestly so interested in the storyline that it didn’t really affect how much I enjoyed it.
And funny! I laughed so hard so many times throughout this book. My husband had to listen to so many dramatic readings of the more humorous parts that he feels like *he* read the book.
And that part where (mild spoiler alert!) Eleonore abducts Cynthia Cunnington and drops her in a dumpster? Chef’s kiss!
I give this book all of the stars! If I had more stars to give, I would. 5/5, 10/10 whatever you want to call it, I loved it and would read it again. I hope to see and review more in this series.
