From Anny Cook - Brilliant!
When Danamara Higgins is attacked by a vampire, her life turns upside down. Vampire Bootcamp class seems to be the answer to her prayers. In her wildest dreams, she doesn’t consider meeting not just one, but two hunky vampires who take her—in the car, in the shower, in the living room, in the hot tub, in hand—as they teach her everything she’ll need to know about her new vampire life.
For centuries, Pierre has loved and pursued Julian with no success. After a hostile takeover of Julian’s financial assets, Pierre is positive Julian will have nowhere else to turn. Julian, though, chooses to teach the Vampire Bootcamp class rather than surrender to Pierre on unequal terms. When one of Julian’s students approaches him for help identifying her sire, Julian is stunned that she is his alpheli—an extremely rare mate whose blood will allow him to subsist on real food. What will that mean to his love-hate relationship with Pierre?
There are just one or two problems. Danamara is descended from Pierre’s bloodline. And she’s on someone’s hit list. Julian and Pierre find unexpected erotic rewards and eternal love when they join together in a brutal war to protect their alpheli’s life.

When Julia asked me to write about Alpheli Solution, I thought no problem. Hmph. That’s not exactly the way it worked out!
Once upon a time in my other life I taught Computer Bootcamp classes. Now you may not know or believe it, but romance authors don’t often write about their own lives. Frankly, they’re not very glamorous. Occasionally, we use bits and pieces from our lives, though. I sat in front of the computer thinking about my experiences as an instructor. Surely I could use some of them?
The problem was to settle on a subject. I didn’t want to use computers. Then I hit on the idea of Vampire Bootcamp. Of course, all the vampires out there seem to be alphas-at least the heroes. So why was my alpha teaching Bootcamp? Ahhhh. He was suffering temporary financial embarrassment.
Generally, I begin a new story with a “jumpstart”. That’s a few pages to see how things are going with my idea. Maybe I have to change it. Maybe there are too many problems to work out. Maybe… the entire story derails and runs off on its own track, leaving me behind.
That’s what happened with Alpheli Solution.
It morphed into a ménage when Pierre decided he wanted to be part of the romance. He wasn’t willing to give up on Julian. Then Danamara insisted on tossing in her two cents worth. After a scorching kiss from Pierre, she fell into lust with both of them. And to tell the truth, Julian wasn’t to broken hearted over the way things fell out.
And that should have been it. Right?
No, no, no.
All these other characters kept leaping into the story, creating problems and chaos. Gabriel, the vampire cop, just couldn’t wait until Julian had things worked out. Gabe needed help immediately. And Donal, Danamara’s brother really, really didn’t like vampires-so much so that he kept trying to kill her.
Sigh.
After battles, mysteries, and oh yeah, a LOT of hot sex, they finally worked out their happy ever after! Especially the hot sex…
***My two cents worth - Alpheli Solution, by Anny Cook, is one of the best books I’ve read in a long time. I could not put it down - read it all night! Go! Buy this book! Julia
