Stella Robertson is an award-winning author whose historical novels touched with the paranormal have put her on the bestseller list and made her a very popular author. Taking her publicist’s advice and extending her book signing tour one more day, she meets an amazingly gorgeous man who disturbs her in more ways than one. Not only is he gorgeous and happens to make her body react, but he also thinks he can ‘help’ her write her books better. The gall of some men! When strange things happen, Stella wonders if maybe she dismissed him a bit too hastily.

Sebastian is the prince of the nightwalkers and has found himself to be enthralled with an author, an author of paranormal romance novels of all things. When he is finally able to meet her he realizes that keeping his hands, and his fangs, off of her may be harder than anything he has ever done. A taunting offer throws these two together and the world of the parafolk is suddenly thrown wide to Stella’s delight and Sebastian’s dismay. Can these two find a balance that will please them both?

Having waited entirely too long for this book (wink, wink) I was not disappointed. Janet Miller brought us back to Hollywood After Dark and what a return it was. Sebastian is the perfect blend. A brooding alpha male who searches out an intriguing author who becomes more than he ever imagined possible. Stella, oh wow, I loved her. She was courageous, even when an amazing world is exposed to her and her life view is turned upside-down. With a traitor after Sebastian they are forced to run and the twists and turns that the plot took were suspenseful and well written. The way that Ms. Miller explains Stella’s knowledge of various things is ingenious and I found it hilarious. Not only were the primary characters wonderful, but the supporting cast was intriguing as well. I can only hope that this will continue to be a rich and plentiful series.
