"strong vampire romance"

In Champaign, Illinois Kit Anderson needs money to complete her doctorate, so she applies for a job at a highly secure nearby research center. Though reluctant, Kit agrees to a middle of the night interview with the center's top scientist, Nobel Prize winner Dr. Carl Roddenberg. Lacking cash for a cab and with no public transpiration, Kit walks alone in the dark until two nasty powerful thugs assault her using extraordinary physical means beyond the capability of humans. She kills one and escapes from the other by gliding through a research center door that was opened less than an inch, an impossible feat that fails to register in Kit's mind.

Carl studies the security film that shows her incredible escape and her DNA results. He knows he must help her understand her true inner essence and assist her in becoming a member of the Community he protects. Though he keeps much secret from his new employee, Carl and Kit fall in love, but lurking out there is a vampire wanting Kit dead.

DREAM JOB is a strong vampire romance with some erotic elements that makes the supernatural seem authentic due to a powerful cast headed by two capable individuals. Kit and Carl are a delightful pair while the support cast especially a vampiric scoundrel provides the depth to this exciting story line though that also slows the down action. Fans of supernatural romances will appreciate this thriller and dream of novels past and future by talented Cassie Walder.
