Vampire Valentin Alekseev stopped to rest at a
tavern, miles away from his homeland, hoping he can stay ahead of his pursuers,
intent on killing him. Valentin is the
only survivor from his Russian coven.
When cat-shifter Shawn Dougal walks into the tavern, he is immediately
drawn to the scent of his mate. Valentin and Shawn are both surprised to
discover that they are destined to be together.
Perfect Timing is a fascinating action packed
comical romance of two unlikely paranormals mated. However, the plot illustrates
the increased survival benefits of their union. Valentin has been poisoned from
drinking tainted blood, unable to feed; Valentin is slowly starving to death.
Valentin soon discovered he can tolerate Shawn’s blood plus gain loss strength.
Valentin still retains some of his powers which are a benefit during several
deadly attacks on them both. Valentin has lost some of his ability to scent
different species; Shawn is a great scent tracker. Valentin is a bit of a
romantic as well as easily hurt by negative words. Shawn has a touch of a snarky
attitude mostly due to his bewilderment of being mated to a male vampire. Shawn
was never attracted to men prior to meeting Valentin. There are a couple of
brief intimate scenes, although the main focus of the plot is dramatic action
rather than detailed lovemaking.
Aimée Brissay’s Perfect Timing is a thrilling
and enjoyable happy-for-now saga with enough of an open ending to continue
Valentin and Shawn’s exciting adventures.
