Delaney James witnesses her mob bos killing someone. Running fro the scene she runs into a dating agency. She decides to take another woman's spot and head to Nocturne Falls, Georgia. The town celebrates Halloween 365 days a year. She meets her groom-to-be - a 400 year old vampire. Hugh Ellingham only agreed to the arrangement to appease his overbearing grandmother. After 30 days the bridge-to-be will be sent back which works perfectly for Delaney. Except they don't anticipate falling in love. How will Delaney handle Hugh's secrets and how will Hugh overcome his past to be with Delaney?
The book has an interesting premise. Delaney goes to Georgia not knowing about supernaturals. She just wants to lie low and figure out what she's going to do. She starts her relationship off with a lie but she is herself with Hugh. He falls in love with her almost immediately. He wants her then he doesn't. Up until the climax with the bad guys, he waffles. It irritates me he can't stick with it. The other part that frustrated me was Hugh's grandmother. She wants X (fill in the blank) so give it to her or she will take your amulet. I have no patience for this.
Overall chemistry was good between Hugh and Delaney. The story was interesting and different. MY only issues were Hugh's waffling and his grandmother.

BJ Harris does a very good job switching between male and female voice. However, there were times his female tones were a little weird.
