Sam Parker is a vampire with a gift so strong and substantial that she is invited to partake in a test for a place in the Grand High Master Vampire’s private legion. She finds that not only has the army never included a woman, but it has never included a Sventé vampire - a breed that is regarded by the super strong Pagori breed and the hypnotically beautiful Keja breed to be too tame and human-like. Most refuse to take her seriously, especially dangerous Pagori commander, Jared, who she craves in spite of herself. The Grand High Master, however, sees her potential and offers her the position of Jared’s co-commander to help train the newest squad in time for the impending attack on his island. Sam has to demonstrate to Jared and the squad of chauvinists why it is incredibly foolish to underestimate a wilful, temperamental, borderline-homicidal Sventé female.
Warning: This novel contains an iron-willed female vampire with an energy whip, a sexist male vampire who is determined to have her, explicit vampy sex, and a romance story with real bite.

Honestly, the only problem I had with this book was that the ending was so darn quick! What, a girl can't dream and hope for an epilogue?
But everything else in this book? L-O-V-E-D it. And I want me some more. Now. .-.
EDIT
Huh. I just went to look up the second book of the series? And what do you know? THIS is the “epilogue” I wanted...in full book form...which is even BETTER. So scratch out that first part of my review. I love ALL of this book: the wit, the bad-assery, the romance, the hilary, and so much more. So you can understand why I need to cut this review short so as to not delay in reading the next book. (Muahahahahahhahahahha)
Downtrodden, but feisty, female vampire is recognised as special and moves to live and work in the virtually all-male vampire centre of power, where she immediately becomes a commander, training resentful sexist males. She falls for the biggest sexist of the lot.
It passed the time, but was not great. The characters were 2D, not believable. the development of the romance was boring, and not convincing. The hero was meant to be arrogant in a good way, but he wasn't. There were few other women in it, and they were all shallow and unpleasant.
