erenn87's review against another edition
3.0
I received this free book as a Read to Review, for an honest review..
I liked this book, I liked the idea, it just didn't seem to connect, at all. I mean other than him being immortal, and he's slowly becoming more human than not, it's not really much of anything. You knew who the bad guys were and it was very predictable. I did enjoy the characters. I think the characters didn't bond with the story.

I was given this by the author for an honest review. I have 4 stars marked but it was more on the line of 4.5 stars!
I try not to give to much of the story away in my reviews, that is why my reviews are sometimes short. I just want to say that before I get started.
*at times in the book, it felt like time moved super fast then you were reading for awhile at the same "time period". I understand you can't write every little thing that happens in a course of a year of two without skipping a few months here and there. But it almost felt like bouncing around. But never going back in time to recover anything.
Ok, so I really loved the story itself. Very capitulating.
The Guy from the Nanny agency was a decent villain, not like super scary. But just on the right side of creepy, stalky kind of villain.
The love Between Matthias and Kate was strong, stronger than I think Matthias realized at first. As he was also holding onto his wife's ghost and spirit. Their connection goes back, and amazing how he describes the connection they have.
The ghost/spirit of Matthias' wife was a little creepy to me, yet comforting at the same time.
Matthias is an immortal, bitten by a vampire some 3 centuries ago-yet is not a vampire himself. As time has gone on, especially with Kate he has more mortal blood. Yet at the end, Kate now has some immortal blood and they will live a LONG life together.
So after all the trials they go through they still get their HEA!!!

I really enjoyed this Read to Review I received. The writing was well done, some of the best I have read in the free books I have reviewed recently. This is a paranormal book, but the paranormal was really mild compared to most, so don't let that hold you back if you aren’t use to them. The plot sucked me in from page one and I quickly developed a crush on Matthias. My husband is from Bulgaria and I loved that much of the plot was set in Croatia, another Balkan country, the descriptions of the locations there were really splendid. I enjoyed getting a taste of the culture and country without it bogging down the plot. Normally I am not big into kids, but this story wasn't bad, the children even started to grow on me a little. I enjoyed Kate's interactions with them and how Matthias wasn't a perfect father but learned to open up to them. Kate fell for Matthias rather quickly and ended up forgiving him just as fast, but it really didn't bother me, it is after all a romance story so you know they are going to end up together. The bad guy was written well for me cause he came off as a real slim ball and I was glad he didn't show up too much, just enough to cause some problems for the happy couple. Such a sweet story with a happy ending, perfect for when you are looking for something fun to read that is going to guarantee you a happily ever after. Great escapist reading.
