He let his gaze wander, but as per usual, no one made him look twice. The dance floor was crammed with attractive people, the bar area too, but none of them held that something that Ian was looking for. He sighed and scrubbed a hand over his eyes. Maybe Cate was right. Maybe he was too hung up on Blake to even notice anyone else.
But what the fuck was he supposed to do about that?
“Excuse me, can I buy you a drink?” The voice held the barest hint of a northern accent, South Yorkshire maybe.
Ian dropped his hand, prepared to politely decline, but the words never came. The guy standing in front of him was about six one, six two. He had short, dark hair, not that Ian was paying it all that much attention because his gaze was drawn to the soft, slightly sheepish but genuine smile.
“Um . . . yeah, okay.” Smooth, Ian.
Running a hand through his own hair and suddenly wishing he’d made more of an effort, Ian held out his hand automatically. “Ian Moreton.” It registered a second later. For God’s sake, he was offering a handshake to a potential hook-up. He really was out of practice. “Fuck, sorry.” He went to snatch it back, but a cool, soft hand slipped into his, grip firm.
“Jesse Sykes.” Jesse’s smile grew. “It’s been a while since someone wanted to shake my hand in a place like this.” There was no mocking, just a gentle teasing to his voice and dark eyes that crinkled at the corners.

[Lecture VO]
Un livre sympa avec des personnages attachants.
Les personnages secondaires sont aussi attachants, même si j'ai été un peu déçue par la réaction de Blake et Cate Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)quand ils ont appris que Ian était un vampire.
Ce qui est dommage, c'est la rapidité de la fin, j'aurai aimé avoir Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)les "premiers pas" de Ian en tant que vampire, voir comment il vivait la situation etc.
J'ai aussi trouvé que Ian accepté un peu trop rapidement la situation, Spoiler(cliquez pour révéler)un instant il en veut à Jesse parce qu'il l'a transformé, mais peu de temps après il fait comme si de rien n'était.

Résumé
One night can change everything…
Jesse Sykes has lived far longer than his youthful appearance suggests. Becoming a vampire after tragedy struck seemed the only option when his soul was shattered, after all he’s no stranger to having to hide what he is from the rest of the world. But eternal life isn’t without problems or heartache.
With a good job and great friends, Ian Moreton’s life would be almost perfect—if only he wasn’t in love with his best friend. His feelings are unrequited, and in an effort to move on, he takes a chance on a one-night stand with the handsome stranger he meets in a bar.
Jesse knows the risks of becoming attached to a human, but with neither of them looking for anything serious, where’s the harm? At least, that’s what Jesse thinks until his chemistry with Ian proves off the charts.
A second hook-up solidifies their connection…and brings Jesse to his senses. He scrambles to protect Ian from danger, but it’s already too late. With Ian unwittingly drawn into a world he knows nothing about, events are set in motion that will change both of their lives forever, and it’s up to Jesse to steer them safely through it.
