Title: Valentine For My Vampire
Author: Honey Philips
Series: Fairhaven Falls #5
Pages: 190
Damian may be a vampire but his restaurant Midnight Manor means everything to him. So when one food critic’s harsh review has the potential to destroy everything he has built, Damian finds himself determined to win her over and show her how amazing the restaurant can be.
Damian was a character I was interested in knowing more about after finding out he was Nakor’s stepbrother and a vampire owning a restaurant. While I did like both Damian and Wendy, I did find their relationship very abrupt. This was a fated mates romance but it wasn’t officially confirmed until towards the end of the book, which is fine, but my main complaint was that there was no build up at all. These two met the second time (first time she was a customer) and basically just started kissing without really knowing each other, which can be fine, but I felt like we never really got to see them in the get to know you stage or it was all off page, which was another disappointment.
The plot in this outside of the romance was basically a haunted restaurant, which was an interesting premise but I felt was forgotten about at times. The ending was a bit anticlimactic with how they resolved the issue but I guess it does introduce us to new characters, who I assume will appear in future books.
Overall, this was ok and not my favorite of this series. I still enjoy this series and plan on reading the next book, but this one just didn’t work for me.
