Maud Demille is a daughter of Innkeepers--a special group who provide 'lodging' to other-planetary visitors--so she knows that a simple life isn't in the cards. But even Maud could never have anticipated what Fate would throw at her. Once a wife to a powerful vampire knight, Maud and her young daughter, Helen, were exiled with him for his treachery to the desolate, savage planet of Karhari. Karhari killed her husband, and Maud--completely abandoned by his family--has spent over a year avenging his debts. Rescued by her sister Dina, she's sworn off all things vampire. Except... In helping Dina save the world, she met Arland, the Marshal of House Krahr, one of the most powerful vampire houses. One thing led to another and he asked for her hand in marriage. She declined. Arland is not used to hearing the word 'no;' and try as she might, Maud can't just walk away from Arland. It doesn't help that being human is a lot harder for Maud than being a vampire. To sort it all out, she accepts his invitation to visit his home planet. House Krahr is extremely influential and Maud knows that a woman--a human, with a very questionable past--who's turned down a proposal from its most beloved son won't get a warm reception. Maybe she's not sure about marrying Arland, but House Krahr isn't going to decide for her. Maud Demille has never run from a fight, and House Krahr will soon discover that there's a lot more to Maud than they're expecting.… (más)

Loved it, even though we have a different protagonist for this one. Lovely comfort food. ( )

Did not expect the side trip this book took me on, but it was an awesome ride. Exploring the life of the Innkeeper's sister and Vampire culture was fun.
Great characters, lovely world-building, and an engaging plot (no sexy scenes but lots of blood) make this a fun read. m/f dynamics ( )

I really like this series. This book I read on the website, and I am looking forward to buying it in the future. I really liked the worldbuilding and the history of the Vampires. I love Maud, Helen and Arland. I love the story and the characters. I want more!
And according to the ending, I will get more. Mjum! ( )

I really enjoyed Maude, Helen and Arland's story.
So much going on

I would really enjoy reading Helen's story when she's older. Maybe she becomes an inn keeper herself..... ( )

Dina's sister Maud swore she'd never get romantically involved with another vampire after her husband's betrayal, but the attraction between her and Arland can't be denied. Plus, there's her half-vampire daughter Helen to think of. Maud reluctantly follows Arland to his home planet, but she knows that there will be an uphill struggle waiting for her. And that's not even taking into consideration the wedding between members of two warring Houses that Arland's House is hosting...

I wasn't sure if I would enjoy the change in setting and perspective, since I love the inn so much, but I did completely enjoy this book. It helps that I was already fond of the characters, especially Helen. Plus, all of the politicking and social maneuvering is catnip to me. This book could be read as a stand-alone, but then you'd miss the worldbuilding and the charming books about Dina's inn, so why not start at the beginning? ( )
