Tempt Me (The Red Veil Diaries) by Marianne Morea



Blurb:

The Vampire Bitch…
Control is something Abigail Bigly lives for—that and watching those beneath her, twist. She’s scratched her way to the top of New York’s vampire inner circle, reveling in her position as proprietor of The Red Veil, the city’s trendiest hot spot and underground center of their shrouded domain. However, being a member of the vampire elite doesn’t mean you can deny your master. When she’s ordered to work closely with one certain Were, she can’t refuse no matter how strongly she objects.

The Forbidden is the Hardest to Resist.
Sent to help keep New York’s shadow houses clear of the deadly virus that nearly wiped out the vampires of New York, Dash Collier has his work cut out for him. Especially when teamed with a woman who’d sooner tear his heart out and eat it than look at him. But neither is prepared for the rush when dangerous passions ignite, crushing old taboos. Is it simply hate-born lust or could it be something more?
 

My review:

Tempt Me is a vampire/werewolf story that covers all the bases.  The vampire is angsty and angry and we hear every dog joke both good and bad out there. Vampires and Werewolves are trying a new détente trying to find the cure for a new strain of disease that can and does infect Vampires. Of course when détente heats up there are those who would see it fail.
Tempt Me can be read stand alone. This is a smoking hot story with a strong female lead with a broken heart. Can the male lead patch her up and make her believe in more? Thank goodness for Bette and Gehrig for comic relief or this story might have been too heavy. As it was I enjoyed it immensely.
