Sleeping With the Entity by Cat Devon

A man with glowing red eyes stares at the viewer.

She has a sweet tooth and a dream.

Meet Daniella Delaney. She’s all ready to open her shop, Heavenly Cupcakes, in one of Chicago’s sleepier districts. But she’s having a hard time convincing the local business association—namely Nick St. George—that she’s a good addition to the neighborhood. Daniella hopes that her famous red velvet cupcakes will be enough to melt any man’s heart. But Nick is no ordinary man. He’s got fangs.

He has a constant craving…

As leader of the Vamptown clan, Nick has no intention of letting Daniella breathe new life into his old haunts. But something about her leaves Nick hungry…for more. He can’t control her mind like other humans, a treat that makes Daniella irresistible. Could it be that, for the first time in centuries, Nick has met his match? Love is always a force to be reckoned with. But can this vampire have his cake and eat it too?

If that bit of on-the-nose writing bothers you, you’ll like this book as much as I did. Before I proceed, I feel like I should explain my rating process. I start every book off with five out of five stars. As I read, I deduct half stars or whole stars depending on how severe I judge something to be. I was ready to give this book two stars until the very end when it fully earned the rating that I gave it.
