Title: Bloodsucking Lawyer

Series: Tucson Underworld #1

Author: Nadia Diament

Genre: Sexy Vampire PNR

Release Date: June 18, 2019

Emma left her career in corporate law to pursue her passion for criminal defense, but she can’t seem to catch a break. So when she lands an interview at a small law firm, she’s more than thrilled. But she has no idea what she’s in for.

Turns out it’s not just any law firm, and Henry—her new boss—isn’t exactly, well…human.

Apparently he drinks blood instead of coffee, and his client list consists of creatures that go bump in the night. But, the way Emma sees it, if she can get through law school, she can handle a few pothead werewolves and shoplifting witches. So she stays.

There’s just one thing she didn’t count on, and that’s catching feelings for her new vampire boss. Henry and his fangs become a temptation too hard to ignore, and no matter how hard she tries, she still falls for him.

Problem is, everyone knows office romances have the tendency to crash and burn. But when your boss is a bloodsucking lawyer, odds are it’s a disaster waiting to happen.

The first thing to grab my attention was the title.

Blood Sucking Lawyer - like that wouldn't pique my curiosity.

Then I read the blurb and well all bets were off.

This was a humorous romance with a bit of intrigue and magic sprinkled on top.

It truly was a refreshing read with a happy ending. Well, a happy for now ending. I am looking forward to the next in series.

Henry is not your average vamp. I think 150+ years has actually mellowed him out a bit. He is not a big fan of people, mortal or supernat. He likes reading and quiet nights in with his cat. No, I am not kidding. Don't let the propriety fool you though, under all that gentlemanly demeanor lies the burning embers of a long-suppressed wealth of passion. And it seems our sexy and smart Ms. Emma is adding a bit of oxygen to those long-neglected embers.

Emma was a bit off for me in the beginning. I didn't connect with her until about a third of the way through. She is just realizing that there is more to our world than humans and that not all monsters are bad. Some of the surprises she finds as she ventures forward in the world of supes are hilarious others are a bit scarier. I did enjoy her inner snark and at times the fact she projected her thoughts (we have all had those quick fantasies) so loudly just made some situations that much more entertaining. She has balls I will give her that.

Rick - keep an eye on this handful. I really enjoyed his character and am looking forward to his story.

Overall an entertaining first in series.

No, it is nowhere close to plausible.

Yes, it is chocked full of sexy innuendos, comical situations, and steamy romance.

A perfect getaway read.
