Frankie is a vampire in the 21st century, she was made a vampire in the 18th century. Her maker was a vampire she thought herself in love with, but she didn't know what he was. She was made a vampire and then abandoned by him. This has caused her to always move on in life, never letting anyone get close. This has also made her hard and bitter. Frankie is working as a bartender when one night another vampire comes in and upon seeing/hearing Frankie's bitterness, let's Frankie know that she has a time machine which could let Frankie go back and fix her life. Although she doesn't 100% believe, Frankie decides to check it out and finds out it's real. She transports back to the time when she became a vampire.

To make things interesting, as soon as Frankie is anywhere near her 18th century self for the first time, she is sucked into the same body as her old self. This means that 18th century Francois, who has no idea about vampires and what she is there for has run of the body. She only hears a voice, which is Frankie. Francois thinks she's going a little crazy when she keeps hearing a voice telling her to kill Henri.

The Henri the second time around is nothing like the Henri that Frankie remembered. Henri dotes on Francois and the two fall in love with each other enough to risk their lives for one another. Their story is taking place while France is in an uproar and people are being mobbed and beheaded left and right. Francois learns of a kind Henri who does his best to make things right secretly.

It doesn't take too long for Frankie to realize that she is going to change the past, but not in the way she thought.

I have never read a book by Susan Squires, nor heard of her. I've been racking up a ridiculous amount of Border's Bucks lately and ran out of things to buy with them so I picked up this entire series.

I thought the story was perfectly matched between romance and the turmoil of France and Francois/Henri's involvement. I find that too often one is more focused on then the other and it can be either good or bad, but this was a fantastic blend.

The characters grew to have their own personalities and I thought I could smell cinnamon when Henri entered where I was reading. The passion between the two at times was red hot. I am all to excited to see where the series moves to next.
