Who knew that a vampire could be afraid of ghosts! Widowed Elizabeth Bretton had returned to the Silverstone estate in Broken Heart Oklahoma (though her Great Uncle's will states that no Livingstone can live in the home), and became a victim of a vampire attack the same night as many other Broken Heart residents. The vampire Consortium came in and "saved" all the victims by turning them into vampires. 43 year old Elizabeth had some adjusting to do, as all the others did, but definitely liked the perks of not having to worry about the sags and bags that come with aging! Queen Patsy and her husband Gabriel are living in the estate and renovating it, and a keepsake brought to her attention seemed to include a vengeful ghost that is trying to kill her! An encounter on the grounds with an attacker brings visiting were-jaguar (and homicide detective) Tez Jones to her rescue, and he decides to stick around and stay with her. Visions in her dreams lead her to want to solve a 150 year old mystery involving the five founding families of Broken Heart, and she doesn't know what to do about this strong attraction for Tez, who seems to think she's the one for him even though they just met! Add in the were-cat community that lives just outside of Broken Heart, and things get veeery interesting around Elizabeth's life... which definitely makes for a great story! With a sneak peek at the next novel "Must Love Lycans" featuring the head of Broken Heart Security Damien (one of the triplet werewolf brothers) and amnesia... I can't wait! This book captured my interest from the beginning I couldn't wait to read more. I liked Elizabeth Bretton from the start and Tez was the perfect alpha male. Elizabeth, Tez, and the ghost made for the perfect trio of intrigue. Every time I thought I had it figured out where the book was going the story would take a turn I never saw coming. Tez new what he wanted and went after it with single minded determination. What did he want you ask well.......Elizabeth Bretton on course! There was also the question of why the were-cats wanted Tez. The heat between Tez and Elizabeth is scorching. I loved his attitude and well really everything about him. I loved this book and never wanted it to end. I could have read this book for couple more hundred pages. My only complaint is that this series is just from the females point of view. I would have loved to read what Tez was thinking and his point of view. I love this series and even with me reading these books out of order they still make sense and I'm not left confused or feeling behind. I would highly recommend this series if you like vampires, were-creatures, and things that go bump in the night.
What do You think about Cross Your Heart (2010)?
Have loved this series but either I wasn't in the right mood for it, or the story is getting old.
