Rein In The Night by Tressie Lockwood is a relatively short story and features a mortal who falls for an immortal. The plot starts out on an expectant note as the heroine is left at the altar on her wedding day. This leaves the door wide open for many possibilities and what follows is very entertaining. I loved that hero Ryan Storms’s secret is not revealed until the very end, although there are little hints throughout the novel that Ryan is more than meets the eyes. Rein In The Night is a contemporary romance with paranormal influences as the hero happens to be a vampire. This is an interesting concept and the story is developed in a very credible manner, resulting in an enjoyable story. The main characters are an interracial couple but their ethnic differences mean little in the grand scheme of things. It is the issue of his mortality that will decide whether these two star-crossed lovers have a future together.
