This book is action packed suspenseful and of course full of hot lovin.
Jax Masters is a vampire hunter. Her father became a hunter after Jax's mother was bitten by one while pregnant with Jax. After giving birth to Jax her mother dies and Jax grows up believing that the only good vampire is a dead one.
When one of the rouge vampires kills Jax's father she goes on the hunt. She runs into Ian who is a hybrid vampire and an enforcer. He is also on the hunt for Drace the rouge vampire. These two are instantly attracted and burning up the sheets. Ian is very alpha but Jax is a kick ass heroine and she does not take any nonsense from Ian. Since Ian is a hybrid vampire he can eat, drink and walk during the day. Jax is not aware until much later that the man she loves is a vampire.

Ian realizes that Jax is his soulmate. Since he knows how she feels about vampires he is afraid to tell her.

This book is definitely entertaining! I found myself drawn in right away, because the author does a great job of showing us how tough Jax is in the first few pages, and how she gives Ian a real thrashing. (Ian compares Jax to Lara Croft.) Ian is hot, but also has a very tender side towards his "mate" Jax that I liked even more.

The story does loose a bit of steam about 2/3 of the way through. I began to get a little annoyed with the number of chances that Ian and Jax gave up to capture the rogue vampire Drace, just letting him walk away. The vampires seemed to go back and forth a bit too much between being very powerful, then caught off-guard & weak.

There was a nice blend of action/suspense along with the "steam", and the steamy scenes fit in well with the rest of the book, instead of just popping out of nowhere. I would probably try another one by this author.
