Shoving her dreams aside yet again, she tries to make a life for her siblings only to discover that nothing is going the way that it should. It's really cold. Her fifteen year old sister acts like a hooker in training. Men act funny around her. Her boss is a real jerk. She feels like an outsider. Her best friend turns out to be a mouthy sixteen year old kid and the incredibly handsome guy renting the room adjoining hers not only hogs the bathroom, taking three showers a day and leaving her with cold water, but he also has a secret. A secret that she becomes a bit obsessed with and can't let go no matter how many times she's warned off.

Detective Ephraim Williams learned long ago not to show any emotion or allow himself to get attached to humans. What was the point? They came and went and he remained. This time wouldn't be any different or so he thought. When his landlady told him that her grandchildren were moving in he didn't expect much, well other than to be left alone. What he didn't expect was to have to fight bloodlust every time he so much as caught the scent of his delectable neighbor's blood or her bombarding him with questions every time she cornered him. If that's not bad enough, a Master from his past has found him once again and is demanding his blood and is willing to do anything to get it, even using the beautiful, irritating, neighbor that makes him feel more than pain for the first time in centuries to get it.

I adore Mathewson's books. They are quick and sometimes funny and always sexy. Did I say I adore them?

I loved this book. It was interesting and fun and i loved the famiy dynamics involved and the action was great. I love when books take you through so many different problems and getting things done by kicking a little butt. This book is worth the read and I will be checking out the others

Review by: Donna Ebinezar on Sep. 04, 2012 :
Tall, Dark and Lonely by R.L Mathewson is the best paranormal romance I have read. I read on average 8 book per week and I have not found another Author whom is up to R.L Mathewson standards, with her plot-lines hummor and characters. You just can not help yourself from falling in love with them all.

If you are a huge fan of paranormal or not you will still love it, but if you not try her other books. They are all romance. Trust me you will love them all. I do and so do many others........can't wait for many, many, many more works of art from R.L Mathewson.

P.S this book is only the first in the series Without Regret is the second, then Tall, Dark and Heartless and the fourth one will be out next year.

I really enjoyed this book. I think the characters are well developed, and have great dimension and depth. I've read the second and third books also, and thoroughly enjoyed them as well. I'm looking forward to a fourth, hopefully.
