Called by the Vampire - Book 1
A new heart, a new life and two new loves... When Maggie Evans had a heart transplant, she received more than a new organ from her donor. She also got a piece of the woman’s soul and now, Maggie can feel emotions she can’t explain. Emotions that help her decide to take a job for Sebastian Hart in a dark mansion on the coast of Maine. When she gets there, she discovers her heart had a good reason to make her go. Sebastian isn’t the only Hart brother who makes Maggie’s pulse quicken. His younger brother, Alexander, captures the rest of her. While having her affections torn between two brothers who are her bosses is complicated enough, Maggie also learns the men are far more than they seem. Now she’s trapped in a world she never imagined existed, and it could be the adventure of a lifetime, or a lifetime in hell. **This is also published as Called by the Vampire Parts 1, 2 and 3.

My Thoughts - 4 out of 5 Unicorns - I really liked it!!!
***I choose what I read and review based on what intrigues me!! Yes, I got a review copy of parts, but no one tells me what to think, feel, or write about any book! I will be buying this, but I’m waiting to get the whole serial together and when I can afford to do so!
The cover is steamy!
Part 1
This is the first part in a new serial series! This is my first time reading Violet’s work though I’m not sure why because I them! This is for adults only due to the steamy and adult content! As is the nature for a serial, this is only part of the book, so if this bothers you, you may want to collect the parts and read them when it is complete.
I loved this part! I was pulled into the story from the first page with Maggie’s story! The brothers are very different and interesting. There are a lot of plot twists going on right now that will be interesting to see where it goes! I don’t want to give anything away! It is a compelling story that will have you laughing and crying with Maggie! I really didn’t want it to end because now I have to wait for more!!!
Part 2
This is the second part in a new serial series! It is for adults only due to content. Since this is a serial, it is mandatory to read the parts in order. Serials are different because they are not a whole book, they are like an episode in a TV show. Some people love them, and others are better off waiting until the whole series is published and reading it like one book because they don’t like the cliffhanger feel of each part. You do you and pick what works best for you.
This part was not as exciting or connected for me, but it was still an awesome read. I think whenever you have a serial that some parts are more exciting than others. Maggie is torn between the brothers, and Sebastian is very intense. She is getting into her role as Kitty. She is trying to make new friends. Things happen, but I refuse to ruin the story for you, so you need to read it. I think the next episode is going to be interesting, and it needs to get here quick!
Part 3
This is the third part in a new serial series! It is for adults only due to content. Since this is a serial, it is mandatory to read the parts in order. Serials are different because they are not a whole book, they are like an episode in a TV show. Some people love them, and others are better off waiting until the whole series is published and reading it like one book because they don’t like the cliffhanger feel of each part. You do you and pick what works best for you.
Maggie starts her book tour, and she is trying to cope not having Alexander around. This part had quite of bit of excitement surrounding Lyndsey. It was more exciting, but over much too quickly. This is definitely getting more dramatic. I wonder what will happen next!
I recommend to any vampire fans who love a compelling story and who don’t mind that this is a serial!

I give the book two stars because I did find the plot interesting. This book screams self-published and was really disappointing. There was no character development, there was way too much dialogue, and it is written in the present tense which came across weird and irritating.
The book has a good beginning and capture my interest. However, after reading a few chapters it became a struggle continue. Although initially interesting, the plot began to unravel and fell flat the closer it came to the end.
This had the potential of becoming a really good series but for what ever reason the author chose to publish without taking the time to iron out many glaring issues. This story needs more character development, more plot development, and a lot less dialogue.
I will not be continuing this series and do not recommend this series. It is a waste of time and very disappointing.

Part one
Margaret (maggie) had a heart transparent 5 years ago and ever since she has this feeling she got a part of the Donor's soul too. Now with the help of her heart she has taken a job with the hart brothers. Sebastian and Aexander. Things have gotten a bit crazy for her. You see the brothers are vampires, writers and they both want her. While her heart seems to want Sebastion and herself wants Alexander. She also feels the pull to Sebastian too. Yea she is so over her head.
I love the unique and intriguing storyline. This seems to be a series and each story builds off each other.
Right now the pull she feels to both brothers is fun and the characters are great.
Part 2
working for the hart brothers is very unsual. They have changed her style and her name so far but she was really changed even before that when she had a heart transparent where the spirit of the donor stayed with her. Her heart/spirit wants Sebastian but she wants Alexander. Her brain tells her it's a bad move.
Love the twists and turns in this story. I still have no idea if she will end up with what brother. The characters are amazing and have lots of depth to them. Vampire fans you will love this one. It's like a vampire soap opera.
Part 3
She came to work as an assistant for Sebastian then ended up being the face of Kitty Kane but the real writers are two vampire brothers. You would think things couldn't get any more crazy for maggie BUT they have! You see she is love with Alexander but Sebastian thinks maggie is his true mate. Yea it's a crazy triangle. Who will win? Lots of drama
Then thier is Lyndsey! She got pulled right into this craziness too but I can't tell you how lol
Love the action. The characters are great and the twists are killer!

This is an intriguing story of young Margaret who sets out to live fully what remains of her life. Recipient of a heart transplant that has given her a piece of the donor's soul, Maggie takes a job as assistant to the Hart Brothers, enigmatic Sebastian and playful Alexander. What ensues is a story that draws the reader into what looks to be the makings of a very complicated relationship between the four characters, for Maggie's heart and its desires are part of this story as well.
Our heroine Maggie gets deeper and deeper into the mystery of the Hart Brothers and into her role as their nom de plume, Kitty. She is falling hard for Alexander while her heart draws her to Sebastian. Maggie sees firsthand how brutal vampires can be and learns that her agreement with the Harts is more complicated than she first thought. About to embark on a nationwide book tour, she finds her soulmate gone and her heart’s mate close to her side.
We are pulled deeper into the adventure of Maggie and the Hart Brothers. Her town friend Lindsay is also drawn into the story though reluctantly. Now we have a new struggle to add to the list as the main characters’ lives intertwine in unexpected ways.
Ms Vaughn writes well, developing her story in a complex but very clear way. She writes beautifully clever dialogue and her well constructed narrative continuously draws the reader in. This cliffhanger just keeps us wanting more and asking questions that currently have no answers. The answers are there, but they are just out of reach for both Maggie and the reader. No doubt Book 2 will bring us closer to the answers.

The plot of this story was very unique and Maggie's attraction to Alexander, the younger Hart brother, only made her situation in the household more complicated. Sebastian, the older Hart brother, shows affection toward Maggie for his own personal reasons that Maggie is unaware of and has to discover for herself. This story is fast-paced and filled to over flowing with surprises and action. I found it difficult to put it down - very entertaining with enough sizzle of attraction to make it enjoyable to read.

I like the premise of this series of books. I'm a little irritated with Maggie's character though. She definitely shows her immaturity in some of her recalcitrant actions. The guys are great, your typical arrogant vampires. I'm interested to see if Maggie matures in this next book.

Maggie
Maggie has a heart transplant, and the heart she gets was the beloved of a vampire. She gets a job offer from that vampire and his brother, both who write erotica. They want her to pose as the writer.

A Quick Read But Worth It
I love this book. The only disappointment is its too short. Can you say I was upset when the book ended? The pace was great and the characters was greater, and the tension between the characters...delicious. 5-Stars Worthy!

Unusual
She has had a heart transplant and she feels part of the soul of her donor is still attached. She wants to experience life to the fullest so she takes a job as a personal assistant. I liked it a lot and want to see what happens to Maggie. Very good series.

The story moves along quickly and it's easy to devour. Apparently it was written in segments and I hate those. I'm glad I read it all as one.

I understand multiple perspectives but at least keep going back to one. A whole new culture to absorb, not to mention lifestyle.

Okay, but this was mostly an introduction. None of the characters came to life for me, so I only read 3\4 of the book

Brilliant book well written and a great cast of characters and story line hooked from the start I couldn't put it down. I cannot wait to see what is in store in the next book of the series.

I enjoyed this story. This is the first of the series. Maggie is a likable character. The brothers, Sebation and Alexander, have distinct personalities. Lots of steam, and there are plot twists.

Cliffhanger
This set contains 3 "books" yet the author still couldn't finish the story. While character development was decent, overall there was a lot of extraneous verbiage to get to the end without and end. I will not continue the series.

Margaret is a young woman with a new heart beating in her chest. Her mother is over protective and does not want her to move across the country to work as a personal assistant. Maggie wants to truly live, knowing that a donor heart will only last so long, so she signs an NDA and is now an employee of Sebastian hart. When she arrives she finds out there are two Hart brothers and her donor heart is attracted to her boss, while her physical self is attracted to his brother Alexander. The heart she received is no ordinary heart, she feels the desires of the donor. She learns that they are romance authors and she will become Kitty Kane, a new erotic romance writer. All of this is shocking, but the most shocking is that they are vampires, and her heart belongs to Sebastian. I could not put this down and will be searching for the next book in the series.

DNF - quit at 74% (partially into chapter 3 in book 3)
I struggled with this, I kept wanting to quit reading early on in the book (within the first few chapters of book 1), before I finally gave in. The flow was so slow, it lost my interest. The characters, Maggie/Kitty, Alexander & Sebastian, just didn’t hold my attention. I felt they were all to self-absorbed in their own drama. Really, at the point I quit, nothing extreme happened (there are some small things -but nothing dramatic in my mind) that would spice up the plot. I just wish I hadn’t wasted my time on this & quit in the beginning when I first started loosing interest.
At my age, life is to short & my time to important to force myself to read a book I'm not enjoying, especially when there are so many other books out there waiting to be read.
