Shadow's Claim by Kresley Cole

Trehan = hot vampire. He listens to his mate, and denies his instinct. Resulting in some questionable actions on his part. But he tries soooo hard with her. Not a single misstep. Until his cloudy judgement of not biting his mate screws it all up for him. But - Battina was so young and naive it was difficult to swallow at times. She thought her best pal cas was it for her. But she didn’t know the difference between friend love and hot vampire love….until she did.

I liked the role Lothaire played. And as most of the books of the series - enough little crumbs are left to make you curious about the next, and to see certain scenes from different perspectives.

Again Trehan is hot, dark, sexy hunky vampire who is smart, logical, and thoughtful mostly. He helps her overcome anxiety and supports her artistic endeavors. Almost perfect.
