Holy crap the first sexual encounter with Dmitri lasted 50 pages. WOW!
Christine Warren writes great stories - her heroines are always intelligent, professional, self-reliant women who have difficulty finding a hard man...oh I mean a good man. And her heroes are always alpha males, semi-jerks who always settle into monogamous relationships without much fight or fuss. Dmitri is a very alpha male who uses his psychich abilities to "make" Regina comply but swiftly realizes that she is his mate and he doesn't want a drone or a slave and let's her be herself. Regina is coming off a bad relationship and instantly likes this domineering vampire and can't figure out why she's letting him control her...or is he?
I liked the story but I got tired of the S&M games real fast since they lasted for 20+ pages each time. It just got old. Otherwise a really good book.
