Tempted by a Vampire (Immortal Hearts of San Francisco) by Susan Griscom

Title: Tempted by a Vampire
Series: Immortal Hearts of San Francisco
Author: Susan Griscom
Genre: Paranormal Romance
Published: October 27, 2015
Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.
Magdalena De la Rosa has it all—Bachelor's degree in journalism, a job she loves in California, a gorgeous apartment in San Francisco, and a dream guy. Except her boyfriend lives and works in Sacramento—an hour and a half drive from the city Magdalena has always fantasized about living in. All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys. 
Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm? 
A stand-alone book. The first in the all-new Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. 18+ due to adult content.
 
“Wow I know its not the best word, but I am blown away by this book. I don't know why Susan didn't write this book sooner. I am so obsessed with Cian and Mags. The perfect combination of a sexy, dark brooding rocker and the sweet lovable girl, throw in the fact that the rocker is also a Vampire and you have the formula for a perfect book.” ~ Goodreads Reviewer “Yes! how I love a great hot vampire read.

“Electric.  Looking into his eyes was like floating through the clearest part of the ocean with rays of sunshine painting glimmering streaks of light through the water.”

5 vampire fangy stars!!!  I can’t even put into enough words to say how much I fell in love with this book.  The story was captivating and I was sucked (no pun intended) in!!

Cian DeMarco, a sexy, rockstar billionaire vampire has lived in San Francisco's prestigious Cliff Side neighborhood in his beautiful mansion overlooking both the San Francisco Bay and the Pacific Ocean for seventy years. Happily—or so he thought. Until the rare beauty that is Magdalena De la Rosa sits down at one of the front-row tables in Club Royal where he and his band perform once a week.

All her dreams change, however, when she and her girlfriend find their way into an upscale nightclub and she's suddenly swept off her feet by the lead singer of that night's performing rock band, The Lost Boys.
Sparks ignite between the two until a threat that was thought to no longer exist returns to wreak havoc on Cian's and Magdalena's lives. Will the temptation to be together outweigh the reality of what Cian must do to keep Magdalena safe from harm?

Let me just preface this by saying I’m not a paranormal fan!!  But when I saw this was about vampires (which I love) and it takes place in San Francisco (my favorite city) I was intrigued!!  Cian is a billionaire rockstar, did I mention he’s dead (ha get it) sexy and a vampire!  After seeing Maggie he determined to have her!  Maggie, a journalist, and new to San Francisco agrees to go out with her bff one night, although she really didn’t want to.  While at the club she meets Cian and while she is mesmerized by him, she’s determined to stay faithful to her cheating boyfriend.  Too bad she is weak and falls into Cian’s hands.  Knowing that she can’t deny her feelings with Cian she decides to dump her boyfriend, who doesn’t take it well of course.  After a lust filled date/night with Cian, she learns the truth about the man she’s falling for.  He’s a vampire, but she has deep feelings for him and she decides that she is willing to let that little “problem” go.  But what happens when her psycho ex reveals a secret about him that she never knew and tries to take her away from Cian??  What happens when Cian’s maker turns up trying to stake her claim??  This book was beyond sexy and so thrilling!!  I was in an extreme book slump and this book yanked me out of it!!  Excited to see what’s coming next in the series!!!
