Adrian & Aurora: This Series is Off to a Good Start! 5 Stars
This book was simply awesome. If you are a sucker for a beautiful, vampire romance, you need to buy this book right now!
LAIR is the story of a young woman named Aurora who is currently in a very abusive relationship. Finally deciding she's had enough of the emotional, verbal, and physical mistreatment, Aurora escapes with the help of her friend and heads to Florida where she begins work as a day-hire crew member cleaning the luxurious yachts of the obscenely rich.
While at work, Aurora receives a call for a job interview as a stewardess aboard the LAIR, the yacht belonging to the mysterious, illusive, multi-billionaire, Adrian Voper. With the opportunity too good to resist, Aurora heads overseas to join the crew of Voper's yacht and slowly finds herself intrigued and drawn to the brooding, albeit OCD tycoon. Adrian is equally intrigued by Aurora's odd quirkiness and despite his best efforts to put distance between them, cannot deny his attraction. However, the further out to sea they travel, the more bizarre secrets become revealed. Soon, Aurora begins to wonder if she didn't escape her past trauma but simply exchanged it for a new one.
This book had me within the first three chapters! I instantly felt a connection to Aurora and applauded her decision to flee from her abuser. I felt Adrian Voper's commanding presence the minute he stepped on page. The chemistry that existed between Adrian and Aurora was electric. Not only did they connect in spirit, but the pair connected through painful pasts. Adrian gave Aurora the safety she needed, and Aurora gave Adrian the closure he needed. Brilliantly, they poured into one another, and I love how they were the remedy for each other's grief. By the book's end, you will see just how much these two love each other and the lengths they will go to make each other happy.
Author, David Sullivan did an amazing job of breathing life into these two complex characters. Although both characters were on different ends of the financial spectrum, I'm so glad that this wasn't made the basis of their conflict; A typical storyline fail-safe I'm so glad this author avoided. It was a pleasant surprise and a relief. Instead, the focus was on a much deeper conflict that kept my attention. Honestly, I could not put it book down. I finished it within a day!
The story contains some spice between the main couple but nothing hardcore. I didn't mind because the plot and storyline were engaging enough that I barely noticed. LAIR doesn't necessarily end with a cliffy, rather an HFN. The story does continue I cannot wait to read LAIR RISING, book two where the story leads off into another chapter of Adrian and Aurora's quest for a life together.
I thought this was an excellent debut novel and I recommend it without reservation. If you're looking for a book with a sweet heroine and tortured vampire to root for, you've found it right here!
Happy reading!
