Product Description:
Lanie Weber isn't afraid of danger. As a volunteer firefighter, this seemingly mild-mannered librarian has faced life-or-death situations before--and survived. But she has no idea what's waiting for her in the dark Amazon jungles...in the staring eyes of a mysterious statue...and in the strong arms of a seductive stranger. Veteran pilot Mac Knight has vowed to help Lanie find out what has happened to her scientist father. But at Dr. Weber's secret research lab, they find only five dead bodies--and a creature believed to live solely in legends. The nightmare, however, is real. When Mac is attacked and bitten, Lanie fights to keep him alive. When he presses his lips to her throat, she yields to his touch. And when his teeth graze her flesh, she hungers for more...

There is certainly an abundance of vampire romance on the market today--some series are darker, some lighter, but many ideas recur. What I loved most about this book by Robin T. Popp was that it felt unlike anything I'd read previously, and I'll admit that it consumed me from the very first pages until the very last! So much so that I rushed out to the bookstore and bought everything else I could find by the author.
I highly recommend this series, and this book in particular.

A great very first book in what appears to be a series. I bought this book on a whim after reading the reviews,and decided to buy it. I'm glad I did. I absolutely loved this book. It has a different take on the vampire. Lanie was a great female lead character and Mac was a solid male character. I liked the way she drew out the romance, it played into the story, it didn't become the story. I like plot, action, interesting characters and a little sex never hurts. This book had a great combination of all these necessary components for making a very interesting and enjoyable read.

Facinating twist on vampire romance. The story begins like an Indiana Jones movie. Young librarian (a.k.a. firefighter/EMT) heads into the South American jungle to claim the body of her father, a researcher. Only when her and her pilot arrive, all they find are dead bodies (and none of them are her father's).
It only gets stranger when they discover the cage behind the facility in the middle of the jungle with nothing in it but a stone statue. Just then, the sun goes down and the statue comes to life and attacks the pilot, Mac. Lanie, our heroine, unloads a gun into the creature, to no avail, and shines an extra bright spot light at the creature. The light being the only thing that works. She drags the unconscience Mac into the facility and conducts a blood transfusion.
If you think this is wild, you have no idea! The book is nothing less than action packed. The romance is nothing to shake a stick at, either. I can't wait to read more from this author.

Strong heroine, Lanie Weber works as a librarian by day and a volunteer firefighter by night. When her father goes missing she charters a flight to South America to find out the truth. Veteran pilot Mac Knight wants only to keep Lanie safe. When they're attacked, all bets are off.
Lanie shows she's not the doudy librarian Mac believes her to be, and Mac has some secrets of his own. From the very very first page, where the story opens with Lanie fighting a fire, the action doesn't stop. This is an edge-of-your-seat read with characters we identify with and very real danger. I loved the way Lanie threw herself into finding her father, and the father-daughter relationship is a strong one that reminded me of my own relationship with my father. From an author that I regret I haven't heard of comes on the scene with a passionate, powerful novel of vampires, legends, and intense danger. An awesome read. You won't want to put this one down.
