This can be read as a standalone book - I did exactly that, and I must admit that I am curious about book one now. This is a great paranormal romance that features a fallen angel and a vampire. So for people that enjoy a bit of fallen angel lore in their romances, this is a good book to read.
The concept is really emotional. Fallen angel Lucien Girard, was cursed and had his wings broken by the Archangels for breaking angelic law and falling in love. It's particularly heartbreaking because, it was his fated mate who he lost in Pompeii in the 72AD eruption. As a result, for the past two thousand years he has been drawn to meet his lover's reincarnation. And each and every time he is unable to save her life.
Making his home in Everwood Falls, a small town that shelters many types of magical beings, Lucien meets her again. This time his true love is a vampire, Dr Isabel Romero. Isabel was turned into a vampire after an accident a couple decades earlier, but she is still coming to terms with her transformation. She is also in trouble, because she has the power of healing - a power that is not easy for her to have. Especially when her power can send her into a blood rage if she depletes too much energy. Now in Everwood Falls and working at the hospital, it looks like at least one person is after Isabel and wants her dead.
Lucien is exhausted by the continual losses through the milennia, but he cannot help but to be draw to Isabel again. He has a friend among the angels and it is this friend that helps counsel Lucien through things.
To say that this book is an emotional roller coaster is an understatement. Lucien must decide what lengths he will go to save his fated mate, maybe for the last time, but Lucien does not have that kind of hope at the start. There are so many questions that we discover the answers to about Isabel as investigations into her activities by law enforcement and the vampire council have the story unfolding.
I adored both Lucien and Isabel. They are interesting and complex characters, both of whom had been through so much trauma. Their cats lighten some of the darkness, as well as having important roles in the main plot.

Immortal Protector Vampire is the first book of the Moon Light Mysteries series KC Wilde.
This book was unexpectedly fun and not without a lot drama -Immortal Protector Vampire is the first book of the Moon Light Mysteries series KC Wilde.
This book was unexpectedly fun and not without a lot drama - think of it like a cross between Criminal Minds, The X FIles and the Sookie Stackhouse/True Blood. I wasn't sure what to expect and I felt like my mind was totally blown reading this book.
Sassy and series FBI Special Agent Evelyn Williamson is sent to the small city of Harmony Grove, which has experienced to date ten murders, with no real leads. She's been called in but from the start she knows that something is off. The mayor is also a mystery to her and his involvement has her senses on a heightened alert.
Alexie is a vampire, he is also the Mayor of Harmony Grove, and much like the vampiric Sheriff and Coroner, he is trying to protect the human and vampire citizens of town. He's got other stuff going on, including his missing sister, which all seems unrelated. And now with the FBI agent in town, he is not only trying to navigate how much she finds out about vampires and the vampire council, but also his attraction to her.
There's plenty of action and intrigue that forces Alexei and Evelyn together and makes them have to face their depth of their connection and feelings. The race against time at the end of the book to save the day was great.
