In the Service of the King
Book 1 - Vampire Warrior Kings Series
Laura Kaye
Harlequin, Available Feb 2012
Kael, Warrior King of the Vampires, loathes the Night of the Proffering. He needs the blood of either his mate or a human virgin to maintain his strength, but hasn't enjoyed the ritual since he lost his mate centuries ago. Kael doesn't want a new companion, yet his resolve is tested when he lays eyes on his new offering, Shayla McKinnon. He is drawn to Shayla's beauty and poise...and the submission she offers. She is eager to give him anything he wishes, including her innocence, to please him. Will Kael give in to their overwhelming desire—even if it means risking Shayla's life?

LAURA WILL BE MY GUEST ON FEBRUARY 14 with a POST and a great contest to win this book. 

This was a shorter book than I expected.  But Laura packs it full of steamy, hot vampire goodness that will have your mind between the sheets of a bed and not a book.  The characters are spirited and you definitely want them to hook up. Shayla: nervous, flexible, forgiving, virginal but not unsophisticated or naive, . Kael: ancient, resolute, gets in his own way, loyal.

I loved the descriptions of the culture of the vampires, the decor and costume. I also like that Laura makes even non-sex scenes feel erotic.  It's the perfect Valentine so make sure you check back. She's letting me give away an e-book internationally.

Serious Hot Book.  Can't wait for the rest of the series!!
