Jezebel moved to the stormy New England town to start a new life and escape from her past. Here she started her own cleaning business, and while she enjoyed her life, it was a solitary one. While she had been curious about the house on the bluff since she had moved there she had no idea who owned it or anything about it until she gets a call one day asking her to come and take on the job. She agrees and comes face to face with the sexy August. He seems like a period romance cover and acts like it to. However, there is more to this man who awakens intense feelings within her than meets the eye.
I received this book from the author in exchange for an honest review. It almost comes off as a period paranormal romance while being in a contemporary setting. It is just very flowery writing. A lot of people who enjoy period romances would like that fact, personally I am not a fan. That isn't to say I didn't enjoy the book. If you ignore the writing style I enjoyed the story itself.
Jezebel received her name in a dream after the death of her parents. She still holds the scars from the crash that ended their lives, both physically and mentally. August has scars of this own from his childhood trauma as well as the loss of his wife. Together they may be able to heal and form a future.
In this book August is a vampire of sorts that feeds off life energy transferred through the "donor's" sexual release while feeding. If he drinks from one person for too long it can deplete their life-energy and cause them to become sick and die. It is definitely a different way of the traditional and I can't say I loved that aspect. From the voyeuristic encounters to providing sexual release for people other than their partners. Definitely not for me. Thankfully that is only a prevalent part at the end of the book, so it's not something that bothered me for most of the book.
I enjoyed the descriptions of the settings in the book. From the stormy coastline town to the Italian vineyard.
