They can be our neighbor, best friend, our child&#8217;s teacher &#8230; They alter their aged appearance based upon the amount of blood they consume. They move to a new area, drink a lot of blood, and appear young. Slowly they limit their intake of blood and age, right in front of our unsuspecting eyes. After decades, they fake their death, move, and do it over and over again. Most live quiet lives in an effort to blend in. Some however want power and control. The Colony is an elite group of vampires sworn to protect the President of the United States from these rogue vampires. Sterling, a half-breed vampire who works with a covert team of vampires to protect the President of the United States, is the weakest link in the chain for his team, and he knows it. His unique ability to glean information from inanimate objects has Sterling spending much of his lonely life down in the evidence room at FBI headquarters. His current case involves the kidnapping of vampire children by a religious cult trying to save them. Sterling snatches the opportunity to do some field work by teaming up with a purebred vampire, Kate, who is the nanny of one of the missing children. Sterling&#8217;s world is turned upside down by Kate. She is everything Sterling could hope for in a mate, and he wonders if she&#8217;d ever consider loving a half-breed. Kate is beautiful, intelligent, charming and sophisticated &#8211; but has led a sheltered life and is considered handicapped by vampire standards. Will she be willing to trust Sterling with her dark personal secret? Could she be able to open her heart to a bad-boy who&#8217;s never known true love before? Together, can they save the children and find true love?<\/p>\n<h2>Review:<\/h2>\n<p>Sterling is a half-breed vampire.\u00a0 He is half human and half vampire.\u00a0 He is a covert operative that works for the government.\u00a0 He is on a team led by his father.\u00a0 His ability to read the history of an object just by touching it is useful but painful.\u00a0 After using his ability he has severe migraines that only a woman&#8217;s given touch can cure.\u00a0 A new case comes a long for Sterling.\u00a0 Vampire children are being abducted.\u00a0 He must get down to the bottom of this before anymore children get taken.\u00a0 But, in getting to the children the nanny of one of the missing children distracts him with a wanton that he has never felt.\u00a0 Though as he works with Kate, the nanny, he learns that she is hiding more than one secret herself.\u00a0 While the clock ticks by for the children, Sterling and Kate become closer.\u00a0 But, once this case is over will they have a chance or will the barriers of those around them force them to part ways?<\/p>\n<p>I loved Sterling from<em> Eternal Service<\/em>\u00a0and was ecstatic to find that he was the center of the second book.\u00a0 I love his character and I am so glad we got to hear his story.\u00a0 Kate as his match is perfect.\u00a0 Though Sterling finds happiness with Kate, his relationship with his father is a huge plot point.\u00a0 I thought that through Sterling&#8217;s eyes Raymond was much harsher than I remembered.\u00a0 I was glad how their relationship turned out.\u00a0 It was a nice resolution for the two characters.\u00a0 This book was just as action packed and fast-moving as <em>Eternal Service<\/em>.\u00a0 The sex scenes are pretty hot too, but you would expect that with Sterling&#8217;s book.\u00a0 Overall, it was a great follow-up in a wonderful paranormal romance series.\u00a0 If you haven&#8217;t read<em> Eternal Service<\/em> you need to pick it up then you&#8217;ll be clamoring for <em>United Service<\/em> right after.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Hey everyone, we are lucky today.
