Refrain: A Vampire Blood Courtesan Romance by Susan Griscom by Michelle Fox
My rating: 4 of 5 stars

Neriza's life went into a tailspin when a car accident leaves her with no parents, a sister who is severely injured and completely poverty stricken. Then she sees an advert in the paper and a solution seems clear to her - become a Blood Courtesan. However her first client is her teen idol pop star Lyric Rivers and bizarrely he doesn't want anything to do with her after paying for her. Then things take a turn for the worst when her father's misdeeds come to haunt her putting them all in danger. Can she solve the problem left my her Dad, make Lyric want her and keep her heart intact?

This is a great addition to the Blood Courtesans series of books and had a few really great twists in the story that you won't see coming (I certainly didn't). I loved the way it built up and the anticipation of how great things could and hopefully would be between Neriza and Lyric. Well told and described it was easy to pick up the thoughts and emotions of the characters involved in the story and get involved in their story.
