The FBI really does not like their agents to be distracted, and that includes teammates sleeping together.  However, some rules are made to be broken, at least that’s what Hadley Sloan, FBI agent and vampire believes.  No one on her team knows she is a vampire except one, and he won’t tell.  But Hadley is even keeping secrets from her lover, like the fact she is married under Vampire law.

Chase Finley has no problem keeping not only the fact they are sleeping together a secret, but also Hadley’s true identity.  He would do just about anything for her until they are called into a serial killer case and he learns about Hadley’s remaining secret.  Another man with a stronger hold on Hadley might just be more than Chase can deal with – even for Hadley.

Kellen Boyd turned Hadley many years ago and then he let her walk away.  However, their time together is at an end.  Kellen wants his wife back and he is willing to deal with the human world in order to get what he wants.  Kellen is surprised at the strength and depth of feelings that Hadley has for her human lover.  As a shield for a vampire mistress, Kellen knows that having a human around could be a liability but for Hadley, he will do what needs to be done.

Time is running short, not only for the threesome to find their answer but also for the final missing victim.  They know she is hidden somewhere but the killer isn’t making sense.  Law enforcement regulations are slightly adjusted in order to get the answers they need in time.  But vampire laws must be followed to protect all three of them.  The real question is, can Chase agree to what will be asked of him, and just how far will Hadley go to make both her lovers happy?

When your heart is split in to two parts, is there anyway to bring both halves together?  Hadley has to find her answer in Bless the Beauty. I thought that Chase and Hadley was a great couple but man, when you put Kellen into the mix the threesome just smoked.  I laughed a few times at how Kellen had no problem using his advantages, while Hadley hardly ever used them.  I was surprised and happy that Chase was able to accept the things that were thrown at him so fast.  The fact that they are still a kicking FBI team has me waiting for the next case.  I will be interested to see what the next chapter brings to this unique threesome.  Bless the Beauty takes humor, passion, suspense, just a bit of vampire ingenuity, and combines it all in such a way that will put it on your keeper shelf.
