Tempted by a Vampire (Immortal Hearts of San Francisco Book 1)

Our review, by LITERAL ADDICTION's Pack Alpha - Michelle:

Just in time for Halloween, we get a new vampire read. But don't expect just your dark and dangerous, it's sexy as sin, as well.

Cian DeMarco is a smoldery rockstar vampire living in San Francisco, playing with his band The Lost Boys (a group of vampires). His creation is a bit tragic, but his life is not. He loves the current age, his quiet, unassuming existence, doing what he loves in the city of his soul. Until he meets Magdalena and realizes there could be so, SO much more... He realizes there was something missing in his life and she's it.

Magdalena De la Rosa has a douchey boyfriend, but has temporarily left him behind to pursue her dream in San Francisco with her best friend. She's kind of let people walk over her a bit, even if she has taken the initiative to go and live her dream. When Cian enters her world, she begins to realize that sometimes you just can't plan for things. Sometimes they just happen and in the strangest of ways. And sometimes...it's worth it to throw caution to the wind. I will admit, I didn't like her at first. I thought she was a bit naive, but as the book continued, I saw her strengths immerge. I saw the lightbulbs go on and her decide to grab the reins.

Magdalena and Cian's relationship is full of tension. Slightly from within, of course (I mean he's a vampire, she's not sure how she feels about that, and they just met, what the heck do these irresistible feelings all mean!?), but more so from without. Cian's estranged maker is back and she wants "her boys"--Cian and his brother--back. And she's just crazy enough to do whatever it takes to get them (I mean seriously crazy!), and Maggie's stalker-ex has some major territorial issues and causes his own brand of trouble.

A thrilling and sexy thrill-ride. If you like your vampire fiction, I definitely suggest Tempted by a Vampire. Admittedly, there's nothing overtly unique about it (slightly difficult in a market that was saturated a handful of years ago with vampire paranormal romance), but in its own right it's exciting--likable characters, a titillating romance... And it's well done and well-written (plenty of quoteworthy moments!)

I think Susan has created a series that fans will be excited to jump into again and again (I know personally, there are some side characters that I am desperate to learn more about!). Go ahead, get tempted.

Susan can write vamps!!!!!!! Cian is not looking for a lifemate nor is Maggie!!!!! Yeah, well, it happened! Her characters are well written and I enjoyed the story!!!!! Ready for more Immortal Hearts of San Fransisco! Cian is dark but not too and Maggie is just shy of innocent! I was surprised several times! ❤️ I was given an ARC in return for a fair and honest review!

Cian finds his woman entertaining when she's pi***d, "I stood in front of her, gawking at her adorable exhibition of a temper tantrum. Her hair was a tangled mess , and mascara was smeared below her eyes, but she was still beautiful." I loved this book I'm hoping Lane, Elvis and Tanner get their own books as well.

What a great book to start a wonderful series. I like this author. The book is interesting, mysterious and hot. Always keeps you guessing on what is happening next. I recommend it. I was given an ARC in exchange for an honest review.

Ohhhh this read was addicting! Cian DeMarco is the epitome of sexy & in case you weren't aware, yes... This is a vampire read :p

This read from the very beginning had me completely hooked & I loved every part of the suspenseful scenes! Oh... And the steamy scenes were definitely on point!

Wow, just wow. Such an amazing book. I was captivated from page one. Cian is hot and sexy. What I would not give to meet him for sure. The chemistry in this book is surreal. I can't wait for the next one in the series, hopefully about Lane.

I really enjoyed this book! It was a great romantic vampire romance. It wasn't too dark, had a bad boy vampire and a fun heroine. I liked just about everything about the story. I highly recommend this book! Five glittery stars!

A visit to a fortune teller, a fortune told. Magdalena is told she will be tempted. And she runs into some very hunky vampires. The story has adventure, music, thrills and chills. I enjoyed Cian' backstory. Magdalena'sPOV is also interesting, as she wrestles with knowing the truth. I recommend this book.

This book grabbed me from page one! It has suspense, drama, music and fangs. I loved Maggie's attitude and her strength. This is definitely one of the best vampire books I've read in a while. I can't wait to read the next in this series!!
