 5 STARS 
 I will never tire of the Draganesti's and their merry band of vampires and shape-shifters. It was wonderful to be back at Romatech and to visit with all of our old friends. And, Dougal, poor, sad Dougal finally gets his HEA and we learn all about him and his past. What an interesting past he had. Did you know he had a Dragon Tattoo? I didn't! And, wait till you hear the story behind it - so touching and heartfelt. But, what really got to me in this book was the moral of the story: "If you love something, set it free. If it comes back, it is yours. If it doesn't, it never was." 
 Dougal Kincaid, green eyes, a Scottish brogue to melt your heart, kilts and sporran and a bionic prosthetic hand. Unhappy and lonely and hoping to be put back on the roster, Dougal is back at Romatech for a party when he meets Dr. Leah Chin, a physician with a PhD in genetics. When, all of a sudden, his tattoo, after lying dormant for hundreds of years, starts burning and he's having trouble controlling his hand. What is going on? 
 Dr. Leah Chin has been brought to Romatech on the pretense of helping with a genetic mystery. Of course, she has no idea that Vampire's exist. Or Shape-shifters for that matter. When she sees the proof of their existence, she thinks she's losing her mind, going crazy, just nuts. She's shy and does not mix well with people. She's a genius - went to college at age 14 and never had any true friends. Her parents raised her to be logical and believing in Vampire's is not logical. But, when she realizes that she could possibly save thousands of lives, she agrees to stay on and help. But, does that big guy with the beautiful green eyes have to keep staring at her? And, what happens when one of these Vampires looks at her as a meal instead of a doctor? 
 Dougal is a mess, he can't control his hand, he can't keep his eyes off of Leah, his tattoo keeps burning and he finds out that he is back at Romatech as Head of Security and back on the roster, BUT, he also finds out that he has to go to China to help in the war against Master Han and Darafar. There are too many memories in China and he does not know how he is going to keep his secrets safe. 
 Oh. My. God. Dougal's history in China is unbelievable. I don't want to give too much of the story away but, this is where he found his first true love. The likenesses between his first love and Leah are unbelievable and he has to convince Leah that she's the one he loves - not the memory of his first love. With the help of the God Warriors, Darafar is defeated and Leah finally understands and remembers everything that Dougal has been trying to tell her. 
 As usual, Ms. Sparks mixes love with steamy, hot, erotic sex; laughter and tears; smiles and frowns and does it with such a flare that you just breeze through the book. The Vampire with the Dragon Tattoo is all this and more. It's fun, it's loving, it's sad, it's heart-warming but, most of all, it's a story about love lost and then found again, hundred's of years later. It's classic Kerrelyn Sparks in that it was amazingly written with lots of action, lots of love and, lots of Vampire Sex.
