Protective Affairs #2
Vampire's Witch
Book 2 in the Protective Affairs series.
Serena Blackwood can’t believe it when she learns she’s becoming a vix. Finding that she has to work with sexy vampire Marcus Castillo to catch a rogue vampire only adds to her stress. She’s unbelievably attracted to the hunky man but knows staying near him will increase the chances of her jumping his bones—and Marcus discovering her secret.
Marcus knows the witch working with his team is hiding something. She’s beautiful and talented and he wants to know the mysteries she’s hiding almost as much as he needs to know the feel of her body moving against his.
But the rogue has plans of his own and unless Serena and Marcus work together, they could lose everything.

About the author
Rebecca Airies
63 books82 followersI've always been an avid reader and writing just sort of followed. When I didn't like the way a book ended, I'd let my imagination run wild and paint a different ending in my head. New characters grew and I tried to get their stories on paper. I started with horror and straight sci-fi in my teens and eventually found romance.
I love to tell about the worlds and characters that sometimes seem so real to me. I write fantasy, futuristic, sci-fi, and paranormal romance, but if a character fascinates me, I'll give anything a try.

I gave it a 2 star review when I read it the first time, but I don't think it is a good ranking and lowered to one. It is unreadable a second time around. There's a good idea somewhere but as this is erotica it's drowned in sex and absurdity. I can't call it erotic romance either as there's no romance, they have sex as soon as they meet and call it love. Plus, she keeps saying no and doing the opposite for the sake of the story. Doormat doesn't cover it. I didn't feel the chemistry nor the romance, but I would have liked a stronger story.
Original review
I started this book with lower expectation. It is an Ellora's Cave imprint after all. The blurb was interesting, tough, and the sample intriguing.
The plot was good and the sex scenes balanced enough (meaning you don't have a sex sandwich: sex, sex, action, sex, sex). Unfortunately, at some point I started expecting more :) The book was leaning toward UF and I liked this a lot. But, at the end it is an Ellora's cave imprint and this means no editing: the story needed world-building (or you miss the reason behind some things), tighter scenes and an overall check (there were a few phrases missing). The characters needed some more flesh (and back story!) and to be more coherent, i.e. the lead woman was written off as a strong witch, both in power and personality. We are told, for example, that Serena is the only witch working for the Protectorate. But then she is very easily manipulated and bullied by Marcus. (The scene with her mother was really unbelievable. A perfect wtf? moment).
As my Halloween treat, it wasn't good enough. And it did not survive the second reading test: abandoned without much thought.

An intriguing plot to start with, good sex and some action trying to catch the rogue magic using vampire.
However, totally spoilt by the silly "I'm leaving before you reject me" scenario at the end.
I'll still be reading the rest of these stories, cause I generally like this author, but obviously this is an early book.

3,5 étoiles. Histoire très sympa. Personnages principaux attachants. Petit bémol, une fin un peu abrupte pour moi.

Cute story. Witch from pure bloodline turning into a Vix. She is helping to catch a rogue vampire witch. Cute plot and enjoyed interaction between the hero and heroine.

I really wanted to like this book. It was just not engrossing in any way. The characters were lackluster and really left me wanting more. Great premise but poor execution.
