Synopsis
True Love: Good from the First Bite…
Etienne Argeneau's three hundred years of bachelorhood were at an end. Either that, or he'd be forever alone. He could only turn one human in his lifetime, and most of his kind created a life mate. If he turned this stranger… But what choice did he have? He had to help Rachel Garrett. The beautiful coroner had saved his life. To save hers, he would make her immortal.
…To the Last
Rachel Garrett awoke surprised. All she'd wanted was to get off the night shift in the morgue; now here she was staggering to her feet naked and in a strange place. But everything would be alright. She'd just make like a bat out of - Then she saw the man of her dreams emerging from his…coffin? And the look in his bright silver eyes said they'd be spending a lot of time together. She just hoped he tasted as good as he looked.

Etienne, especially initially, is too carefree about threats to him, and it lands him, Rachel, and the family in a heap of trouble. After she first turns, Rachel’s early interactions feel forced for laughs and don’t fare any better when deja vu strikes. I put down the book several times during this section, but I wanted to finish, and this time I finally got past it.
Etienne and Rachel turn into a cute couple, while the rest of the family poke their noses in to cause chaos in the name of helping, of course. Thomas, in particular, was entertaining as both a troublemaker and a wingman. There was one thing that I expected Etienne to get raked over the coals about, but circumstances intervened.
Events with Pudge did not pan out as I expected. His story is both funny and sad. It also showcased precisely how vulnerable the vampires are and how much power they can wield. There is a fine line that they walk to protect themselves without exposing themselves to more scrutiny.
By the end of the book, I was happy with how everything turned out. Although, I was looking forward to Rachel yelling at Etienne. Oh well, maybe it will crop up in a future book in the series.
