Eve Newton: Forever

So, I've been reading e-books again because right now I'm also reading a very heavy book which is amazing in its 600+ pages' glory but it is also tought-provoking stuff and I have to chill every now and then. My now and then turned out to be a free read again.
This time we have a strong female character who build herself from a naive poor girl over the span of 500 years. She is devoted to her maker who lost her trust when he started sleeping around (apparently the vampires here have big appetite and don't sate it only with their beloveds) so she started running away from him, drank her fill of fear and blood and turned a man to be with her. They are best friends with benefits and live together.
And to this unusual setting she leads a man she is drawn to from the very first sight of him. There is a conflict when to tell him, when to turn him yadda yadda yadda. 
I would have like the story if a) there was less sexual action since it was repetitive and leading nowhere, and b) it didn't stop when it started to be interesting. There were some unravelled mysteries and old prophecies and all those lies and promises of love that it would have made a cool story otherwise.  

GENRE: romance
FANGS OUT: well-written and surprising in places
FANGS RETRACTING: too much repetitive sex and too much unjustified prolonging of the story
TOTAL SCORE:
