Goodreads Synopsis:
Kaya thought she had
found the perfect job when she became the private secretary of Kyouhei
Touma - the director of a tableware company of the same name. Kyouhei is
a capable director, but his arrogance and sluttish behavior are almost
legendary. Kaya is doing her best to prove that she is capable in her
work, but one night, by accident, she discovers his secret... of him
being a vampire!
Review:
I am really
enjoying this series. It’s so much better than I thought it’d be.
Kaya is getting so
caught up in her feelings for Kyohei. She doesn’t take forever to realize it,
though, which I appreciated. And then she doesn’t take forever to do something
about it, either. It’s so refreshing seeing a female character doing something
about her feelings, not hiding from them. On the other hand Kyohei is running
from his, in total denial. And while I’m sure that there’s still going to be
drama related to it, it seems like Kaya is realizing how he feels, as well.
It’s a definite step in the right direction, and I’m looking forward to seeing
where it goes from here. Also, there was some actual smut in this volume, and
that was nice.
Then there’s the
whole work part of the story, and how Kaya focuses on her job, is good at it,
and is firm about doing it. That’s so nice to see, and I really like that Kaya
doesn’t waver about any of it, because it’s important to her, and she will win
that argument against Kyohei.
Their whole
characters and dynamic is refreshing to me, I guess, since I see so much more
of the weak, malleable heroine. There’s still quite a bit to explore in this series,
I think, including their pasts and their relationship developing even more.
I’m looking forward
to the next volume, and am enjoying having the releases bimonthly a whole lot.
