Read this if you want a queer romance with vampires set in the regency era.

In theory I love the idea of this book but I'm learning that I'm not a huge fan of Regency era books/movie. With that in mind, I still think it's a great book and that a lot people will enjoy it. It's just not my personal cup of tea. 

 
The god of the vampires, Vrykolakas, has a plan to rid the country of vampire hunters. He gives Lucian a task -- stripped of his immortality, he must infiltrate the duke’s marriage competition to find these hunters. If he succeeds in winning the duke’s hand procuring the information, Vrykolakas will make him the most powerful vampire in existence. 

Lucien agrees, suspecting this will be an easy task. When he arrives at the duke’s manor he’s greeted by an old friend and begins to uncover the mystery of the duke’s missing brother.
