"Intense and edgy vampire romantic suspense."

Darcy Henry and Joe Garcia were part of a special police team looking for a serial killer vampire. The special unit had been following vampire Quentin Albermarle thinking that he was their killer, but after a confrontation with him they find that he too is on the hunt for the soulless vampire. The police captain and Quentin agree to join forces. Darcy and Joe are not happy, although Darcy is attracted to Quentin from the moment she first sees him. Quentin wants Darcy and doesn't care who knows it. The police captain makes Darcy take Quentin to her house to stay during the investigation. Things heat up between Darcy and Quentin immediately; Joe, who has secretly been in love with Darcy for three years, is extremely displeased with Darcy because of it. The team finally obtained information on the whereabouts of the murdering vampire, and a raid is set up. The raid goes bad and Darcy and Quentin have to make decisions that gravely impact others. Quentin's friends Dylan and Emmy (from MIK I) arrive on the scene to assist in the takedown of the serial killer.

This book grabbed me from the beginning. It was hard- hitting and edgy, but filled with incredibly intense sensuousness. The sex in this book is red-hot and it's frequent; nothing lukewarm about it! Quentin, for all of his brash cockiness, was a gentlemen who fell deeply in love with Darcy; watching him fall was quite enjoyable. This was my first Delilah Devlin book as well as my first vampire book, but definitely not my last of either. I have already ordered the books that precede and follow this one. Ms. Devlin has written a definite winner in MIK II: LOVE BITES.

Explicit sex, anal sex, oral sex, m/m/f sex, minimal light bondage, minimal spanking.

Summary

On the trail of a serial killer, vampire Quentin Albermarle is mistaken for the killer by a police special task force. Once the smoke clears, Quentin finds himself in a delicious position—atop one of the unit's crack officers, Darcy Henry.

In need of Quentin's access to the vampire sub-culture, the task force leadership invites Quentin to join the crime unit as a special advisor, much to the chagrin of the men in the unit, and especially, of Darcy.

A no-nonsense cop with no time for romance, Darcy suddenly finds herself embroiled in a steamy love triangle between her mortal partner, Joe, and the handsome vampire. Going from abstinence to wantonness, she is unable to resist the two men's relentless seduction or her own sensual curiosity about a vampire's special "kiss".

When the real killer threatens the life of someone close to her, Darcy makes a choice that forever binds the three of them together.
