Vampire Protector
Exploring Gwen's deliciously spooky and long abandoned childhood home in the company of her handsome neighbor sounds like a brilliant way to break her dating dry spell and find a few missing memories. Unfortunately, she soon discovers her mistake. John, her date, is a vampire and her house is not exactly empty. Secrets-and the dead-don't always stay buried, and John's extraordinary strength and determination may be all that can withstand what awaits them. Gwen must unlock her memories and survive the devastating company of her Vampire Protector if she hopes to prevent the past from destroying her future.

Vampire Protector by Amy Corwin
Redemption Series Book 1
Gwen Carter is the last of the Viccars. She lives a simple life writing jingles, now. Life hasn’t been easy, her parents and brother were murdered and what happened to her, although she remembers none of it. And now she needs to trust one of her enemies to help her regain her memories. Going back into her family home for the first time since she was thirteen. Can she truly trust him not to bite her? And can she trust herself not to fall for the dark and brooding handsome vampire? She just has to keep remember that he’s not really a living man, no matter how warm he seems to be.
John Wright has been protecting the Viccars for over four hundred years. And now there is only one left, a female. He has failed them many times and he refuses to fail this one. But it’s time to get the special relic before his enemies find it and only Gwen knows where it is. Even if she continually irritates him by saying she don’t know anything about it.
Together the couple faces a master vampire and his followers and Gwen's old home that contains much more than decaying wood and dusty furniture. The author brings out the personalities of the characters and I quickly had a soft heart for John who is carrying four hundred years of guilt on his wide shoulders. This book has plenty of twists and turns all the way to the very last pages. We also get a glimpse of the unique Quicksilver, she is the heroine in book two, A Fall of Silver.

While the story had great potential, I really felt like the ideas were rushed. I didn't get any character attachment at all. At no point in the book could I really get a picture in my head of the characters. The history of the characters were jumbled and not explained well. I really wish the author would've taken more time to draw out the character development and really explain more behind what was happening with them.

Started off strong, and held my attention throughout but about the middle of the book the writing quality declined. It was as if Corwin was racing to meet a deadline and stopped polishing. I finished it, but ended up being a bit disappointed with it.

Vampire romance with a bit of mystery. Loads of suspence and a twist I never saw coming. Great read.
