Brenda K. Davies: Awakened

Alright, this is another of my e-books which I downloaded because it was for free and I just can't stop when it comes to free books. 
This time there is this university student who doesn't date and avoids guys and meets this new hot stranger who she immediately falls for and all her traumatising past goes through the roof. And since incredibly sexy guys only exist in vampire form, you guessed it, he has a set of fangs. And an evil ex. 
So I'd like to say something nice first - it's written well. You get your descriptions and it's told in a good way. But the story is so frickin' predictable. Like once an abusive ex-boyfriend is mentioned you can bet he will appear right after. The same goes for psycho ex-girlfriends who didn't take you breaking up with them well.
And then there are these stupid little things like someone being a vampire for only a year and his high-tailing from his psycho maker so that he doesn't really know anything about his state. However there are moments in which he is so sure what can kill him, what ails him, you know... 
Oh, and there is definitely a favourite scene in here - you know how we all hate those brave people in B horrors who walk through the night alone so that the killer can get to them? :-D Something like this is in this book. A character inseparable from her boyfriends suddenly gets this urge to confront a psycho vampire herself. Just why? 
If the book had more twists and the plot would be less predictable and with less sex it would be better I think. It sure stands on more solid ground than the e-books I reviewed in the past but still it wasn't great.

GENRE: there are way too many sex scenes so I guess it's ROMANTIC PORN?
FANGS OUT: it reads well
FANGS RETRACTING: predictable and sometimes too far-fetched
TOTAL SCORE:
