 5 Stars 
 Kristen Ashley, OMG this woman does not fail to amaze me. I want to meet her and hug her and tell her she is my new BFF!! She has created a paranormal world that is not hard to get lost in and tune out everything and everyone around you. If I was not writing this I would be reading the second book in this series right now. That's okay, because I am here to tell you that you want to read this book and any others that this great lady has written, NO JOKE! 
 Vampires walk among the mortals day and night. They eat regular food as well as take blood this is where the concubines come in. They must sign a blood Agreement that binds them to their vampire for however long the vampire wishes to keep them. The Buchanan family had been servicing the vampires for 500 years, Leah knew this and at 40 her time had finally come to be selected. 
 Lucien - I will say you are going to love and hate this sexy vampire. Tall, dark and handsome goes without saying when you can get past his overbearing and egotistical attitude. He is a bad boy wrapped in a deliciously fanged package. You could almost feel his domineering power pouring off the pages, he is a warrior and he takes what he wants and isn't denied. For twenty years he had watched and waited for Leah Buchanan to make her his concubine. He wanted more from her though than just that he wanted her trust for her to surrender. He was in for a rude awakening however. Leah was more than he bargained for she was the challenge he never anticipated the light and humor that had been missing in his life for over five hundred years. Lucien was also challenging the Vampire Dominion, by moving in with Leah and sleeping with her this was a big NO NO. Lucien was tired of the old ways so he was putting very thing on the line for Leah even if she didn't know it. 
 Leah didn't understand the vampire world and she was quick to judge Lucien. They were at constant battle of wills. All she could understand was that Lucien wanted her to submit and Leah wasn't that type of person, she was head strong and willful but she was also kind, loyal and she wasn't about to lose herself to a vampire who would use her then let her go. Lucien could be so mean and quick to hurt Leah and she was just as bad not listening when he wanted to explain. I swear my emotions were all over the place and I LOVED IT!! 
 When Leah gave into the "joining" holy fireworks!!! Talk about smoking vampire sex!! It was then that she finally realized that Lucien had been trying to get her to just accept him for who he was. Then it was like you couldn't keep the two apart. Did I mention HOT vampire sex?? Let me just tell you Kristen Ashley can write some really HOT sex!! Yes, I would gladly offer my neck to Lucien. Ok, done now. 
 Unfortunately as things start going great Leah mentions the L word and Lucien freezes. He knows he can never take a mortal as a mate but he never tried to stop Leah from falling for him. See, shellfish! Things go to hell and quickly I'll just say that because I was crying and pissed and happy and every other emotion known to man. 
 What neither Lucien nor Leah knew was this wasn't just her family's Legacy but their Destiny. That's what I love about this book and even with as much of an Alphahole Lucien was and he won't change but he does have his redeeming qualities. 
 This is the first of THE THREE SERIES and I cannot wait to read the next one, WITH EVERYTHING I AM, out now. Do not let these titles fool you because they each have a meaning and you will melt when you read it!! 
 So go forth and get your copy it's cheap, it's long and it's so freaking worth it!!! 
 One of my favorites: 
 You live your day-to-day life hiding the essence of who you are; you don't want to let someone into that that life who won't accept you for the same thing. Even embrace it. Even enjoy in the beauty of it. - Leah on Lucien
