Librarian Carrie West is scrolling through personal ads when she sees one placed by a user named Gear Tattoo who is looking for someone to meet him in the park on Wednesdays for kissing. Carrie loves her job as the "Liberrian" but longs for love in her life. Gear Tatttoo is Brian Newburgh who has promised kissing only on the Wednesday dates which will stop if either person stops coming to their dates.

Carrie and Brian are strongly attracted to each other but Brian has a secret. Carrie soon wants more from Brian than the kissing sessions he had promised but his secret is coming between them. Then one day Brian's secret is revealed in a way neither could have anticipated.

Mary Ann Rivers has written an very emotionally touching story about a couple who have to learn to love. I really felt the connection between Brian and Carrie.

As an FBI special agent Ty Duncan was captured and turned into a vampire against his will. He hates being a vampire! He was recruited to work for the super secret Belladonna Agency and his task now is to persuade Ana Marin to work for the agency. In front of Ana he dangles the one key which might persuade her to join Belladonna – to find her long lost sister Gloria. Belladonna wants agents to infiltrate a secret group which masquerades as an aid organization to assist new Spanish speaking immigrants to the US. Their secret agenda is turning humans in to vampires. According to vampire laws, it is illegal to turn humans into vampires but there are rogues vampires who are doing just that.

Ana Martin is a former gang member who has spent time in prison but has become a coffee shop owner since her release. She has become a very independent, strong woman. She has never forgotten or given up hope of finding her sister Gloria. When she meets Ty there is an instant attraction but he believes she could never want him once she knows he is a vampire.

Belladonna wants agents to infiltrate a secret group which masquerades as an aid organization to assist new Spanish speaking immigrants to the US. Their secret agenda is turning humans in to vampires. According to vampire laws, it is illegal to turn humans into vampires but there are rogue vampires who are doing just that.

This is the first book in Virna DePaul's new series Belladonna and I am looking forward to the next book. I enjoyed reading the interactions between Ty and Ana. Their relationship was not without problems as they began to know each other. The sex was hot!

      Eden Flynn met her husband Shamus in the brothel where she worked as a bookkeeper. Upon his death she inherited his share of a gold mine in New Zealand which was partly owned by Shamus' nephew Damon. She traveled to New Zealand to claim her share only to discover that Damon's nephew didn't want her there because he thought she was a gold digging witch like his deceased wife. Eden had no intention of falling in love with Damon.

     Damon misjudged Eden more than once. He thought she was after his money like his first wife Tessa and he also assumed that since she had worked in a brothel she was experienced in sex. Far from it. Eden was virgin when he took her to bed where after making love Eden immediately mentions love and marriage.

      Then there is Jock who is a wealthy, sophisticated landowner who decides that Eden should be his and he sets out to estrange her from Damon by bringing back Damon's deceased wife, Tessa.

        Eden's innocence regarding sex seemed a bit over done. Even if she was the bookkeeper in brothel it seems that she would have overheard some conversation regarding sexual desires between men and women. The New Zealand setting was a good setting change from the usual historicals set in England.
