My Thoughts
Take one super strong and smart P.I. named Cynthia and add a dangerous and powerful vamp named Raphael and mix in a bit of mystery and romance and you've got one heck of a story. I absolutely LOVED Raphael by D.B. Reynolds!
When Cynthia left the police force she imagined her investigative skills being used by the rich and famous. Little did she know that saving the life of one vampire would change everything. She ends up making a name for herself in the vampire community which makes her the first person Raphael thinks of when he needs someone to find someone he cares about.
The chemistry sizzles between Cynthia and Raphael from the moment of their first meeting and I mean HOT. Cynthia fights it because the reality is that Raphael is a very bad boy and a vampire which doesn't equal happily ever after in her mind, no matter how dreamy he is. And I mean DREAMY.
I really enjoyed the mystery part of the story and especially the fact that Cynthia figured it out before anyone else. I also am crushing on Raphael's second in command, Duncan, and can't wait to read his story. Have I mentioned that this is part of a series? Oh yeah. Love that as well. There's more to come in the Vampires in America series. I can't wait to read the next one. I am hooked.
I compellingly give Raphael full-blooded 5 hearts!

About the Book
Malibu, California—home to rock-and-roll gods and movie stars, the beautiful,
the rich . . . and vampires. Powerful and charismatic, Raphael is a Vampire
Lord, one of the few who hold the power of life and death over every vampire in
existence. Thousands call him Master and have pledged absolute loyalty on their
very lives. But when, in a brazen and deadly daylight attack, a gang of human
killers kidnaps the one female vampire he’d give his life for, Raphael turns to
a human investigator to find his enemies before it’s too late.
Cynthia Leighton
is smart, tough and sexy, a private investigator and former cop who’s tired of
spying on cheating spouses and digging out old bank accounts. When Raphael asks
for her help in tracking down the kidnappers, Cyn’s happy to accept. But she
soon realizes her greatest danger comes not from the humans, but from Raphael
himself. Battling Russian mobsters and treacherous vampires, and betrayed by
those they trusted, Cyn and Raphael find themselves fighting for their lives
while caught up in a passion of blood and violence that is destined to destroy
them both.
