5.0 out of 5 stars
exciting supernatural romance, October 15, 2006
The oldest of triplets by a half hour Megan Crosse begins the walk down the aisle accompanied by her sisters Natashya and Katherine when her long lost thought dead grandfather interrupts the nuptials though she and her siblings agree their respective fiancés fail to get their motors humming. Darkheart accompanied by shapeshifter Mikhail Vosteroff claims his triplet offspring are part of a family of vampire-slayers and are needed right now. He insists one of them is a slayer, another will become a healer, and the third will convert into a vampire. He returned to them because they are in peril from the same creature that killed their mother.
The wedding is put off over the objections of the groom investment banker Dean as the triplets join their grandfather to fight a local nest of vampires. Meanwhile Megan finds Mikhail stirs her blood while he thinks she is his life mate. However, everyone fears that she is the one who will convert to a vampiress since as a child she was bit by one of the bloodsuckers.
Supernatural romance readers will appreciate this action-packed romantic thriller starring a strong lead couples and fully developed support players. Readers will believe in vampires, werewolves, and oh my an assortment of other ilk; much of that reality suspension comes from the non stop escapes of the heroes, but also because of the amusing dialogue between the triplets and the sensual discourse between Megan and Mikhail. With Tash and Kat to follow, sub-genre fans have plenty to look forward to as Harper Allen provides a terrific opening tale.

Needs a better editor, August 31, 2007
I found this book almost impossible to read mostly due to the very poor editing and total lack of guidance given the author. The author came up with an interesting idea but got far to carried away in many scenes and used mostly 2 dimensional characters who really did change much over the 100 pages I managed to read, hence my comment about lack of guidance from the editor. As far as the editing itself is concerned, many scenes could have been cut by a half to three-quarters to improve the flow of the storyline which is choppy at best. I'll put this book back on the shelf until a time when I am bored to tears. Perhaps then I'll be able to finish it. Not recommened.

Really Good!, December 29, 2006
It took me a while to decide on buying this book due to mixed reviews but I'm very glad I did! In fact I would now say that I'm hooked on the Crosse sisters. In this first book of the new series triplets Megan, Kat, and Tash are trying to celebrate their upcoming marriages on the night before Megans' wedding. However, none of the girls is really happy. And that just gets worse when their fiances show up at the door as newly turned vampires and attempt to kill them.
The girls bumbelingly vanquish their men and the same night a strange prophecy, their long lost grandfather, and a werewolf show up. The girls find out that one of them is destined to be a vamp slayer ...and one of them is about to change into a vamp.
Now they must be trained as slayers though everyone assumes that Megan is the vamp to be. Even the vamp Queen whose been searching for them thinks that. And bound to the sexy werewolf, Michail, Megan is fighting for her life. Ironically, all isn't as it appears again for the sisters and their roles in life are about to change once more. Even those who are trusted turn out to be double crossers. And who will Megan choose Michail or the entirely human cop?
My only critisism with the entire book- that the love story doesn't seem to fully conclude with in this book and I know that the next book moves on to a different sister. I need to know if she loves him back darn it!
Watch for the newly released Vampaholic, already in my shopping cart, and the soon to be released Dead is the New Black.
