Vampires are back for a reason! Meet the sexy, dark hero Bane in New York Times bestselling author Alyssa Day's smokin'-hot romance. Bane lost his humanity ages ago. Nothing is more important than protecting his Vampire Motorcycle Club from the death magic invading his territory. The most ancient of vampires, he seeks cold, unfeeling, bloody vengeance...until a frustratingly sexy human doctor is thrust into his path. She tempts Bane to distraction. And distraction is deadly in his world. Buttoned-up and meticulous Dr. Ryan St. Cloud never thought she’d find herself in the mix of a motorcycle club, let alone one full of terrifyingly badass vampires. Or how intrigued she is by their dark and enigmatic leader, who seems balanced on the knife’s edge of killing her...or claiming her. But Bane’s choice is harder than it seems, because when that danger hits too close to home, he’s forced to choose between her life and everyone else’s…

I’ve always loved Vampire stories. Especially when I was in my teens. But lately I haven’t read many Vampire books. So when I got the opportunity to read ‘Bane’s Choice’ I got super excited.

In ‘Bane’s Choice’ we meet Bane. Bane has been a vampire for more than 300 years and he has lost his humanity a long time ago. The one thing he lives for is his Vampire Motorcycle Club, and he is determined to protect it from dark magic and evil. One day, he accidentally comes into contact with a human doctor Ryan St. Cloud. She should mean nothing to Dane. But from the moment Dane meets Ryan, he feels his cold heart start to beat again. And an intense romance begins. Unfortunately evil doesn’t care, and soon Bane and Ryan have to fight to stay safe.

When I started reading, it took me a long time to really get into the story. It felt like the story to started right in the middle, and I really had to get used to the different characters. But from the moment Ryan came into the story, I started to like this book more and more.

Bane’s character is definitely one that got better the further in the book I came. He seemed so cold and dark. But after he met Ryan, I started loving him more and more. Ryan’s character was my favorite. She was obviously the ‘weakest’, being human between vampires does that, but she was very brave and wouldn’t get bossed around. Not even by Bane, the most handsome guy she has ever seen. I loved how she stood up for herself.

The romance between Bane and Ryan started very fast, but it didn’t bother me that much. What did bother me at times was the pace of this book. One minute we would be in Bane’s place and the next we are in the motorcycle club. Bane and Ryan are having a romantic moment, bam they have to fight for their life. I really had to go back a few times to check if I wasn’t missing a page.

The action filled moments where nice, but could have been a little more detailed. And how was Ryan able to use her ‘gifts’ all of a sudden?  I didn’t really get that part at all.

But overall I had fun reading this book, and would definitely like to read a second book in the series.
