The Murdoch Vampires

review 1: Sydney has the hots for a man in a painting dubbed The Hot Scot, imagine her surprise (and delight) when he walks into her museum, then imagine her anger when he wants to take the painting away. She agrees to work with him to confirm his ownership of the painting, little knowing that she's actually putting herself in the middle of vampire politics. They try to deny their feelings for one another for their own reason - Sydney has bad relationship history and Logan is a vampire with bad relationship history. Is Sydney willing to give up her life as she knows it for a chance with Logan?First things first, as much as liked this book, the story and the characters - the editing mistakes were numerous throughout and I find that drags me away from the story. There's nothing wo... morerse than being in a story and having a spelling mistake or double word or wrong word wrench you out mid sentence.That being said, I know it has nothing to do with the book and doesn't affect my GR rating. I just feel it has to be mentioned as I know a lot of other readers are like me and the little errors niggle at you.Logan's mother is, by far, my favourite character - I definitely like her more than Sydney and Logan combined, that's saying something when I can also say that I loved them both. Sydney does let her boss walk all over her (which I hate) but she's still a good leading lady.The story is well written and has just the right amount of action in it to keep interesting but not take away from the real reason for this books - the romance and potential smexy times between Sydney and Logan.Thankfully, Eden doesn't write her Scottish characters as stereotypical Scots (there's reason I don't touch all those Highlander romance/paranormal books), I was willing to give this a try since Jaye Wells is one of my favourite authors. I'm glad I didn't let my prejudice get in the way.Recommended if you're a Jaye Wells fan, also if you like your books to be light, funny and quick to read.
review 2: A fun, fluffy read. Great humor & snarky dialogue. Plenty of heat in all the expected places. I'm not usually one for Romance-type novels (unless their either funny or have vampires--this has BOTH), but it's written under a pseudonym by one of my favorite Urban Fantasy authors, Jaye Wells. I can tell she self-published this as there were far too many typos & glitches that would never have gotten past the editing department of an established publishing house. I understand that there were problems with the copy editor she hired & that an upgrade will be coming to correct the errors. Don't let that keep you from reading this as it's a great read & you'll eventually get a cleaned up version with the upgrade.This is the first book about the Murdoch clan, vampires now living in the United States rather than their ancestral home in Scotland. It introduces us to Logan Murdoch, aka The Hot Scot, & museum curator Sydney Worth. Syd is desperately trying to keep her job by keeping a painting of Logan (assumed to be a portrait of an ancestor) at the museum. It goes missing, sending Logan & Syd on hijinks in pursuit of the painting while Logan tries to keep Syd from learning of his immortal nature. less
