"Fantastic vampire romantic suspense"

When Drace the vampire slaughtered vampire hunter John Markson, the Enforcer half breed Ian Mordoor knows he must find the rogue and kill him before he can officially become Bruen clan chieftain. Already not well received by some of the purebreds, Ian must prove himself capable.

While Ian follows Drace, John's daughter Jax pursues both the Enforcer and the murderous vampire who killed her father. She plans to avenge John's death by killing Drace. Ian awaits Jax catching up to him, but when she does he is stunned because she is his soulmate. Jax, on the other hand, can detect a vampire, but even though she feels there is something odd about Ian, she is unaware that he is a hybrid bloodsucker. As they argue fuss and fall in love, Jax insists she works alone although a night or two with the hunk is worth her while. Ian must persuade his beloved they belong together before she does something stupid like challenging a murdering vampire.

Mindful of Anita Blake, but with its own spin, A TASTE FOR REVENGE is a fantastic vampire romantic suspense that grips readers from the first bite to the final confrontation. The exhilarating story line stars two fantastic lead protagonists; of special intrigue is the courageous heroine whose weaponry rivals Batman and her ability to drive her champion off his game will provide plenty of delight to the audience. However, the key to this tale is that the purebreds, half-breeds and several other breeds seem genuine so that fans of supernatural romantic thrillers will appreciate this fine stand alone novel and seek the first book, A TASTE OF PASSION.

Summary

Revenge is a dish best served cold. No one knows this better than Jacqueline (Jax) Markson. Ever since she can remember, her father has spoken of revenge—revenge against all vampires. When his wife died after giving birth to Jax, John Markson blamed the vampire who'd bitten his pregnant wife for his loss and he dedicated his life to ridding the world of all vampires. After Jax's vampire-hunter father is viciously killed, she takes up the reins where he left off. Her first order of business: take out the vampire who killed her father. Ian (The Enforcer) Mordoor has a job to do. Before he can take over the Ruean vampire clan's leadership position, Ian vows to hunt down Drace, the rogue vampire who brutally killed a human vampire hunter named John Markson. What Ian doesn't expect to find during his quest is his mate in a human vampire hunter named Jax--a woman who'd rather kill than kiss him.
