Scanguards Vampires #18
Vanessa's Bravery
The Scanguards Vampires series continues with Vanessa, Maya and Gabriel’s daughter (Gabriel’s Mate).ABOUT THE SERIESThe Scanguards Vampires series is full of fast-paced action, scorching love scenes, witty dialogue, and strong heroes and heroines. Vampire Samson Woodford lives in San Francisco and owns a security/bodyguard company, Scanguards, which employs both vampires and humans. And eventually some witches. Throw in a few immortal guardians and demons later in the series, and you'll get the drift! Each book can be read as a standalone and always centers around a new couple finding love, but the series is more enjoyable when read in order. And of course, there are always a few running jokes - you'll understand when you meet Wesley, a wannabe witch. Enjoy!⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ ⭐️ Lara Adrian, New York Times Bestselling Author of the Midnight Breed "I'm addicted to Tina Folsom's books!

📚 Vanessa's bravery by Tina Folsom
---
3 1/2 ⭐ 2🌶️
---
📖 Summary
--
Vanessa isn't your typical female or your typical vampire. She is a hybrid and if that didn't make her unique enough she also had the genetics of a saytr. She knows there is a perfect mate out there for her but she never expected to meet him after saving a vampire victim and she didn't expect him to think she was a prostitute. She knows she has to tell him everything especially after she rescued him from being a rogue vampire's next victim. But she doesn't realize that he is searching for answers on his own. When Cole learns that he isn't a full human but has saytr genetics he's shocked to learn that the growth above his penis isnt just a growth but is actually a second penis and will fully form once he is with his mate for the first time. He's happy it's Vanessa but he also knows she is hiding things and when he learns the truth it's hard to deal with especially since they know who is creating the rogues and why.

🔥 I love getting second Gen stories and I liked Vanessa's and Coles but I didn't love it as much as some of the others. The FMC wasn't as badass as I thought she'd be but I do like their dynamic of her being the vampire and strong, and him being the human and being ok with being weaker. Overall it was a cute story and it had good spicy scenes.

Vanessa's Bravery...
Scanguards Vampires book 18. Hybrids are getting their stories told. Vanessa is a badass on all levels. Cole is a computer whiz with an ailment that needs solving. Vanessa saves him. They are drawn to each other like moth to a flame. He's wary of Vampires after the attack and she got a major secret to tell him. Action ridden, dramatic, smexy, angsty, twisty and gritty.

I have been reading from the very first story and I have never been disappointed! I anticipate each new story and I can hardly wait to see who Patrick will find. The series is wonderful a d I enjoy the fact that the originals are still active in the company. Although Oliver seems missing.
Thanks for the great stories.
