Declan a cop, and also a werewolf wants Tori, a PI, as his mate. He isn't having much luck persuading her to go out even though he knows she wants him. He doesn't know she has a thing against dating cops. Tori saves a girl who claims she was bitten by a vampire, which of course is just ridiculous. Investigating leads her to someone 'other' and she shakes off the odd feelings and shoots him and runs.Declan isn't available cause he's out of town and she must face the 'vampire' only with the help of her gun and the strange voice in her head which tells her what to do to survive the coming attack.There is quite a bit of sexy time, both m/f & m/f/m, in this short so if that isn't your thing, I'd move along. If it is, enjoy.Really enjoyed this first in series story which I've had on my tbr for a long time. Don't know why I waited so long. I liked the beginning. Tori is a PI who helps a young woman escape a vampire. She fights him and is turned against her will. She meets up with Declan. Both have been attracted to each other, but never acted on it. Sexy times ensue. Then it all went downhill once they went to Eli's house. I didn't like the added sexual relationship with Eli. It was creepy and I felt unnecessary. I would have liked more attention paid to plot (like what are Hunters, the Huntress legend, etc). Some of the wording in the sex scenes made me cringe. I felt there was a question of consent a few times as well. Several of the scenes didn't feel loving. Several of the word choices had me laughing. Not sexy. And what's up with all the anal play?"...spearing his hands through her hair and guiding her resistant mouth back to his cock." "But Tori relaxed her throat as much as she could, taking his length in, inch after inch, until her airway was blocked." (Sexy, right?) Then there's this a few sentences later- "...to deep hard ones that bruised her throat.""I don't know if I've ever sodomized a hole that damned tight before.""...while he jack-hammered his cock inside her...""...stretching her to the point of pain.""...gripped her waist as he forced her face down over a chair...""...both men limited her control of her own body."NOT counting ass; anus and anal were used a total of 11 times; add another 6 for hole; another 5 for rosette. (Yes Tori's anus was called a "pink rosette.")
What do You think about Declan And Tori (2003)?
Great book to read for an afternoon of sex. You have to love Declan and Tori.
