Wanted
From USA Today bestselling author Karpov Kinrade and Liv Chatham comes a dark love story that will break you and remake you.
It starts with a help wanted ad.
The mysterious man who just bought the grandest mansion in town needs a housekeeper.
No one's met him.
No one knows who he is.
I'm about to find out that he's much more than he appears.
Everyone has skeletons in their closest.
His are just more literal than most.
I didn't expect to fall for him.
I didn't expect to feel the way I do when I'm with him.
And though his skeletons are gruesome, mine are the ones that will end up destroying us both.
My new boss only has three rules, and I break them all the day I start working for him.
This isn't a love story, though you might wish it were.
This is a survival story, with love the cost of admission.
And death the price for betrayal.
This is a complete standalone dark romance / paranormal romance for fans of Leia Stone, HM Ward, K.F. Breene, Shannon Mayer and Bella Forrest. Includes potentially triggering themes of drug and domestic abuse.

Wanted is a very nice addition to The Night Firm series.
Though I felt the main characters of the other 3 books had more development and depth. But this was a shorter story and for that it was a fun, suspenseful and even kind of sweet read.
I do hope we see a book 5 in which all the characters from The Firm and Wanted come together. I would love for Kass, Eve and Lilith to meet ;)

This is a first story of a series (I probably won't read) Kass owes money to a very dangerous man and if she doesn't pay then her little brother might get hurt. Her brother and her live with an alcoholic and violent father. This girl gets NO breaks. Desperate Kass takes a job as housekeeper at the creepy local mansion on the outskirts of town. She needs to help the douchebag she owes money to rob the place. The pressure is on to get a key to the study and access to the safe. Her employer only appears at night, never seems to eat real food, dresses in old fashioned clothes and drinks a dark red and really thick wine. Despite the obvious clues it takes Kass forever to figure out he's a vampire. Since this is first person and we only see Kass's perspective we are left to wonder what the attraction to Kass by the Count is based on. Dunno. Proximity? This was puttin along just fine but I didn't really care that much for the ending. The way the violence was written reminded me a bit of Jeanne Frost but the romance was a bit lacking. I was more interested in how Kass was going to get out of her tight spot then if these two got together. This would have been less of an eye roll if he had turned out to be just an average vampire not the most famous of them all.

After book one of the night firm, Count Dracula returns to Earth to heal mentally and emotionally from all that he’s experienced in the Otherworld. But he’s in for a surprise when he decides to hire Kassandra as his housekeeper.
Kassandra has lived a hard life from dealing with an abusive father to using drugs and alcohol to help forget about the pain. Now that she’s sober, she’s doing everything in her power to get her and her little brother out of this horrible situation. The only issue is that her past decisions are holding her hostage. When she thinks she’s going to work at this mansion for a really rich guy, she discovers a world and feels that she never expected to find.
I enjoyed learning what happened to Vlad after his try but Kassandra frustrated the hell out of me in the first half of this book. I completely understand that she’s gone through so much and living in fear but some of her choices frustrated me so much. Only
After the romance started happening did I enjoy her at times.

A-ma-zing
Wow, I absolutely loved this book. I was recommended this book in search of a book with a conclusion and it gave me just that. I loved how Kass was doing everything she could to give her little brother a better life. The authors made their bond almost tangible, I could feel their love for each other in every action. A plotline like that is one of my favorite and the authors did an amazing job conveying all the emotions.
Of course there's more. The development of the connection between Kassandra and the Count had me swooning. Strategically mentioning other women made me feel that pinch of jealousy the FMC felt. My (un)healthy obsession with darker male main characters might also play a part in my love for this book.
I would definitely recommend this to others, it was a highly entertaining and compelling read!

This book definitely intrigued me from the start and the superb writing style hooked me into the storyline. I loved the mystery and build up during the beginning, and the dialogue from the lead character was amusing, while being relatable. The only reason for the 4 star review is that the end seemed incredibly rushed. There was this slow build up to the relationship and then BAM everything happens all at once. Wish the action packed parts could have been given more time instead of being back to back.

This book is dark, gripping, and intense. Kass is in desperate need for a job. She has a debt to repay and needs to start a new life with her younger brother. Somewhere they are both safe. She applies for a job as a housekeeper for the mysterious, tall, dark, and sexy Count. This job is supposed to provide the pay day she needs, only things get confusing as she gets to know the Count more. I read it in one day! I couldn't put it down. I was dying to know how everything was going to work out and I was not disappointed. I highly recommend this book.

I enjoyed this book. The characters were interesting. The main character Kass is damaged, but actively trying to better herself and her addictions. The pacing was good. There were some points that got a little..depressing, but it usually got out of them fairly quickly. I'm definitely curious to see more from these characters. I am voluntarily reviewing this book, gifted to me by the author with no obligation.

Awesome
Kass has no idea what shes getting herself into. You'd think with her history shed figure it out faster. What a wonderful play on fate to place her in even more danger of the heart and day to day to finally find out if she'll be free or not. The Count is the dark, steamy, sexy, vampire I wanted him to be thanks Karpov-Kinrade and Liv Chatham for another amazing read ..... I read both of the serials dieing to finally get the whole thing!!!

This is a story of Darkness and Light. Kass is former alcohol abuser, a cutter, a liar, and a thief. Kass is also loyal, loving and stands up for her brother and just wants to be wanted. Home life sucks but she is always trying to make life better. Vlad aka Count Dracul is lost and also searching for something.....to be wanted. He just doesn't know it yet. Their world's collide and they become one. Can't get any better than that!

Wanted Rocks
I chose my 5* rating because Karpov Kinrade is one of my absolute favorite writers! I LOVED the Night Firm and recommended it to reverse harem readers. Who ever forgets their first? Wanted takes Blad's story in a new direction. I can't wait to read the next one. Excellent book!

Plot holes and pacing
It’s a bit of a mess. The MC has been in the mansion before and witnessed a murder but the plot line is dropped. Hints about him being a vampire and her still not getting it are comedic, she still doesn’t get it after being bitten, only cleaning at night and never seeing him eat oh...and she knows he’s a Count. 🙄

Totally EXCELLENT 😁
This is a wonderful spin off of "The Night Firm", another fantastic story by Karpov 😃. This story takes place After " The Night Firm" and basically should start a Awesome series on its own 😉. Thanks again Karpov & Liv, I'm really hoping that this series continues cuz I sure fell in Love with all the characters 🤓.

Wanted
Well....where to start. As a human, being scared and always in trouble, meeting
with a count..and working nights...whilst being blackmailed by a cur....and having a monstrous father....being manhandled..whilst trying to protect your little brother....is hard enough. But to try and steal from a vampire is just stupid!! What choice? Excellent story!!!.

Another Amazing Story
A spin off of the Night Brothers, it was really, really good. This colaberation worked well and it was nice to see Vlad again. Even though he was a bit of an ass.

This was an excellent book! The first part was very familiar to me though but I didn’t remember the ending. I am really glad I went ahead and re-read it because I would have missed the fantastic ending.
I would gladly recommend this book to other readers.

A new and different kind of love
I really enjoyed this book. It's a vampire story and a love story but not in your typical sense. This is complex and dark. It's unpredictable. It's fantastic and original. I highly recommend it.

Quick enjoyable read about Vlad from the Night Firm series. The three books in this set are all quick reads and the last two books are a continuation of the the previous story. Book one drew me in quickly and I devoured it one setting.

Great read!
Wonderful twists and turns that will keep you on your toes. Interesting characters that are not good or bad just trying to survive what life has thrown at them. I highly recommend.

A Nice Read
I enjoyed reading this book as I had read the previous “Night Firm” books. I love that the Count liked Jeremy and Kassandra was a pretty good heroine. This can be read as a standalone, but read the “Night Firm” novels too!
