Seth Gramble is unusual, even for a vampire, and it makes him a prince among his people. He’s one of a rare few who can also shape-shift into a jaguar. When Seth’s best friend, police detective Luke, introduces him to his female partner, Paxton, both the vampire and jaguar parts of Seth recognizes they have found their mate. Unfortunately, after the death of her long-term lover by a rogue vampire, Paxton refuses to have anything to do with Seth. It’s been six long months and Seth is tired of waiting. It’s time to claim his mate. He only hopes she won’t kill him first.
It doesn’t matter how much her body craves Seth Gramble, Paxton Tenor doesn’t want to have anything to do with the handsome bloodsucker. She’s learned the hard way that vampires are bad news, and nothing good can come of having a relationship with one. Paxton manages to keep the sexy predator at arm’s length until she, Seth and Luke get assigned a serial burglary case together. The close proximity with Seth forces Paxton to realize that not all vampires are rogue killers, like the one who killed her lover. The toothy vampire might be annoying, but he’s also smart, funny and sexy, and when his kitty comes out to play, why fight their attraction? Let the games begin.
Tooth and Claw by Annmarie McKenna is a fast-paced, fresh and funny paranormal romance that you’re certain to enjoy. The panty-raiding thief is a hilarious way to get these two lovers up close and personal, and their witty, bantering conversations kept me chuckling as I raced from page to page.
There’s an interesting mix of secondary characters, especially Luke, who kept calling Seth ‘toothy’ or ‘your highness’. I mean, come on. Who would have expected a vampire to be okay with being called ‘toothy’ all the time, even if it was his best friend doing it, and it certainly made Seth appear more human and less predator. The rapport between Seth and Luke is definitely best-buddy material; who else could get away with the things they pulled on each other.
Then there’s Paxton; the perfect woman to make both Seth and his kitty purr. It was fun watching this self-assured and sexy woman come to the realization that despite his blood-sucking tendencies, Seth was a ‘good guy’ in vampire clothing, and the perfect ‘man’ for her. I might not have read any of Ms. McKenna’s books in the past, but her name has been put on my watch list with this lively and well-written romance.
