Fangs for the Memories Book

I don't actually remember buying Fang for the Memories. It's entirely possible it was a gift, but honestly, who knows? In any case, I do think vampire romances have been done to death. That being said, this one wasn't bad.

Rhys is an angsty vampire who bemoans his existence, feels bad that his two younger brothers are vampires too, and on Christmas Eve is sitting in a NYC bar looking for his next meal. Any member of the dregs of society will do. But in walks Jane, fresh from Maine who has just had the worst day ever. She's out of the job she expected, the apartment she'd expected, and oh yeah, her purse got stolen. She's ready to attempt to drink her problems away.

After a couple dangerous run-ins with evil-doers, Sebastian, Rhys' brother brings the two unconscious people to the apartment he shares with Rhys. The next evening neither of the victims are worse for wear except for the slight problem that Rhys now believes he is back to being a nineteenth century viscount who is engaged to the American woman, Jane. Sebastian plot-wanks (gives an explanation that makes sense in the story) that Rhys' mind is skipping over the bits of the modern world that don't fit with his delusion.

Sebastian offers Jane the job of being Rhys' caretaker. Since she's homeless and jobless she accepts. Sebastian doesn't let her or Rhys in on the fact that he and Rhys are vampires. Hijinks ensue.

I rounded up from a 2.5 to 3 stars. It is an entertaining read and the plot rolls along quickly. However, nothing happens that isn't telegraphed a mile away. I'd say it's a starter romance, for those junior high girls just starting to take the plunge into adult romances after the Twilight series.

Personal note: Thanks to the Twilight books, I can no longer use the word 'twilight' seriously, so I've been substituting the word 'gloaming.' Sadly, no one seems to know what the heck I'm talking about.
