dark lover by j.r. ward

recommended: ok, so i honestly don't want to be perceived as this crazy woman who reads those harlequin romance novels with those weird naked men on the front. and i dont think i could ever get to the point of reading a story that had everything to do with sex and nothing to do with a moving or interesting story line. but this book could be perceived as one of those books, and it really isn't. the story was super creative and interesting. it was a science fiction vampire story that i relate to blade in many ways. the main vampire is blind and he is the king of the vampire brotherhood, but he refuses to rule, so it tells the story of how he ascends to the throne, etc. yes, there is definitely sex scenes but they don't really bother me. they're just part of the story. and what woman doesn't love a little hot romance? anyway, i really liked this book. i probably won't keep it, but i will definitely keep reading through this series.
