Michael Chamberlin has come home so that his dad can “die” and pass his businesses onto him. Michael hasn’t been home in 4 years and didn’t really want to come home and now must find himself a donateur as he is a vampire but not the kind you see in the movies.
When Paislee kisses Michael to get rid of the advances from a stranger there is a connection between the two. But Michael is worried about bringing Paislee into his world where everything is controlled by The Cardinalis Code.
Soon Michael realizes that the only way to protect Paislee is to claim her but will he have time before someone else claims her first?
This was a good book and I am looking forward to more as it both finishes yet at the same time it does leave you with a little bit of a cliff-hanger so I’m not sure what the other has planned.
I really liked Paislee and I felt horrible for what she went through at the beginning of the book. Paislee knew that she didn’t want to settle for less than what she deserved and held onto those morals to get her through. I thought it was funny with everything that happened between the first kiss between Paislee and Michael although Paislee would have no idea how much danger she placed herself in by her actions.
Michael was a great character as he was obviously very upset over past events with his half-brother Esben which was why he had been gone for so long. His relationship with his dad was also interesting as his dad trusted him more than Esben yet never punished Esben for events in the past, except financially which created more resentment for Esben.
I liked the chemistry between Michael and Paislee and how it grew to be so much more. Yet everything still had to be controlled by The Cardinalis Code which Michael adhered to the best he could. I was absolutely shocked when certain things came up and why. I truly couldn’t understand how everything happened and I was so mad!!
The big fight towards the end was huge and I was so grateful that Seth got there in time but I was really confused by the actions of both Alaitz, Michael’s mom, and Paislee’s doctor regarding her blood. Things were definitely up in the air which makes me believe that more is coming! By Rebecca

Avery grew up in a military family and traveled extensively. Fortunately, her books could travel anywhere with her. She adored romances as a teen and read whatever ones she could get her hands on. When she was sixteen, she decided to create her own love story, inspired by all the authors she’d been reading. She discovered her passion for writing and continued building her craft throughout the years while traveling as a military wife. Avery finally settled in a small town in Maine and decided to actively pursue her dream of becoming a published author, to share her stories with others in hopes they would love them as much as she did.
She’s served tables, worked drive-thru, modeled, attended AIMT in Kailua to learn massage therapy and energy work, even owned her own shop, making candles, soap, and other natural beauty products. She’s dabbled in a variety of things, but her love for a good romance never wavered.
Avery’s usually hanging out with her family, drinking coffee, and listening to music. If you don’t find her there, she’s staring out the window, swept up in another world. Avery feels strongly that every romantic journey she creates should have elements of adventure, sweet banter, danger, tension, gripping content —and of course, all that steamy romance! Her desire is to bring the reader along for a wild ride that leaves them breathless.
