Synopsis
From Goodreads.com:
If Allie doesn't find a ghost soon, her short career as a
"Summoner" with United Psychical Research Association will be a thing
of the past, so naturally she is delighted to find what she thinks is the
tortured spirit of a gorgeous, naked, wounded man. But the cranky spirit, who
looks exactly like the dishy man who has been haunting Allie's dreams, doesn't
need her help since he isn't a ghost, but rather Christian Dante, best-selling
author of vampire romances and Moravian Dark One. Of course, Allie wants some
answers from the arrogant and domineering Christian, but he is more interested
in working out the exact nature of their relationship, since fate has chosen Allie
as his "Beloved."
My Review
I read this second in the series hoping to hear more about
the 900-year old Christian Dante, fictional author of the Dark Ones novels. I
was not disappointed. The focus of the book is on Christian’s search for his
Beloved. There is no smooth plot segue from the first book but eventually all
becomes clear as Allegra comes into contact with Roxy and Joy, who are plotting
to attract and reveal Christian’s Beloved by stalking a Dark Ones book release
in London. Excellent plan because it works although not quite in the way they
imagined. Christian is finessing a plan of his own to try and find a kidnapped
Dark One, when Allegra stumbles upon him in a basement, and after ogling him in
some less than salubrious circumstances, proceeds to try and Release him, thinking
he is a ghost.
