Review for Viking in Tartan by Suz DeMello--Highland Vampires Romance Book 1

Picture
Viking in Tartan: A Highland Vampires Romance (Highland Vampires #1)Viking in Tartan: A Highland Vampires Romance by Suz deMello
My rating: 5 of 5 stars

This review is for “Viking in Tartan,” by Suz DeMello

I enjoyed Book #2 (Temptation in Tartan) quite a bit and knew I'd be reviewing Book #3 (Desire in Tartan) in the near future. So of course, I wanted to see how it all started!

Plot: The story fit the time period, plot-wise. The predicaments that forced the two main characters together were 100% plausible. Based off of what I'd read in Book #2 about the clan's founding ancestor, it was nice to get more details and see “the moment in time” when the clan was formed.

Characters: For a novella, Erland (the clan's ancestor & founder) and Rhona Kilbirnie, are developed and have easily identifiable attitudes marking the Scandinavian Viking and the Scottish woman. Forced by a few twists of fate into their new life together, they approach their future with more acceptance and understanding than what we expect from “adults” today. Sorry. It's just refreshing to meet characters in a book, that aren't the typical stubborn idiots.

The Writing: This is the second of Ms. DeMello's books I have read, and I've found her prose to be smooth and rhythmic. She starts off with a beat, picks up the speed… and holds it there until the end/climax. This book is written in third person POV, alternating from Erland's POV to Rhona's.

In Case You Wanted to Know: This is a short, but delightfully sexy read. This novella gives a taste of the full meal you can expect in Book #2 (and hopefully Book #3-- we'll find out soon!), the sex is hot and written in well-phrased, “stimulating” verse. I swear... it's books like this that make me dream of being a bonnie Scottish lass during the age of Viking raiders.

Overall: If you love Highland Scottish rogues, or Viking warriors, or Viking descended-Scottish-vampires, and are looking for a hot little number to read while you lose your panties, then this is it. My only complaint – I would've loved the story to be longer/full-length. Maybe explore the years between the story and the epilogue. Otherwise – great story!

    Why do reviews?

    Well, I own over 6000 books.
    Most of them are non-fiction, since I have an obsession with knowledge.
    But oh, how I love a good story.
    I've decided to devote an entire Blog, just for books.
    ​
    Here, you will find book reviews for Fiction, in almost every genre.
    I'll also be sharing reviews for the too many to count
    Nonfiction books I am constantly dumping into my head.
    As well as Announcements etc. for New Releases
    from fellow authors.

    How do I decide what rating... 

    For Fiction books, it's either a 5, 4, or a 3-star. That's it. If it doesn't qualify for at least a  3-star rating, I will NOT post that kind of a review. I either REALLY loved/liked it and it was written well, regardless if it wasn't something "up my alley" so-to-speak, OR it was okay, but could have used some more details, or fix the plot holes, etc. I WILL NOT rate low for spelling and/or grammar, editing mistakes. If they are plentiful, I will send the author a polite email to let them know. Hopefully the author will listen and address the problems.

    For Nonfiction, sorry, but here I have to be a bit more discerning. I will rate 1-5 stars, according to the layout of the information, the quality of the information, as well as any editing mistakes, etc. I personally feel that a Nonfiction book is there to provide information, and if it is not delivered in a clear and concise manner, too much confusion will ensue and cause potentially horrible embarrassments or even fatal mistakes.
