This fell snuggly into the other camp which I like to call Teenage Fantasy Island. They're Spike from Buffy, Benedict Cumberbatch as Khan in Star Trek, David Bowie in Labyrinth, Tom Hiddelston as Loki, and Alan Rickman as. They're that tingly sensation you would never admit some of Marilyn Manson's videos give you in your no-no place. So you can tell sexy Gary Oldman that he should ditch Wynonna Rider, because you'd let him naw on your neck all night long. These stories are the reason you re-watch Francis Ford Copella's version of Dracula. They fight desperately against taboo and temptation until neither can resist the dark desires within. The books I put myself through torture for are these dark twisted tales of fiery passion breaking down all barriers, and BOTH parties find themselves helpless against the onslaught despite them both knowing better. They're the reasons I keep coming back, even with such a low success rate. When they succeed, they succeed big for me. I find my success rate with these types of books to be about 25%.

Sigh, I unfortunately find the issues with this book to be indicative of the problems I have with the paranormal romance genre in general.
