Sean Martin, a private detective living in the shadow of a false rape charge, gets a shot at vindication when he is hired by Master Vampire Rafael Barrantes to solve the murder of a young male escort.

Meeting the stunning Arturo Menendez, Rafael’s private secretary is the beginning of a whole new life and sexual experience for Sean. Together, they try to untangle a vicious web of lies and deceit that might, even while he is protected by Arturo’s vampire powers, lead Sean to a grisly death.

Amazing , humorous, intriguing, and romantic. I thoroughly enjoyed the mystery and the romance too. The main characters were engaging and memorable. Arturo and Shaun made a great duo. A very gratifying ending to an interesting story. I voluntarily listened to a free copy of this and am giving an honest opinion
The narrator did an exceptional job bringing the characters and story to life . I recommend it.

This was a delightful listen! Duncan Prescott was fantastic with all the different voices, but especially his Vampire accents! Sean is a PI that the vampire Raphael hires to investigate his human lover's death. Sean and Arturo, Raphael's assistant are sexy hot but also quite playful! That first time when Sean's clothes were just suddenly GONE made me smile! Arturo is a playful, young-looking vamp, but he is also smart, powerful and very fast! Interesting murder investigation plot woven seemlessly with the romance and of course I cannot wait for Raphael to find his real true love next.

Clothes Be Gone!!

This was a new to me and new to me narrator. It was a great first book in a series leaving me wanting to listen to book two right away. It was well-written and kept me interested from start to finish. I loved the chemistry of Sean and Arturo. They were perfect for each other despite their vast differences. The smexy scenes were hot and the added mystery to the story was engaging.

Duncan Scott did an amazing job with this narration. I loved all his different voices and accents. You could clearly tell the difference between characters. Will definitely listen to other books he's narrated.

Mystery, spice, and everything nice!

I really liked both MCs. I liked that the angst was low and there wasn't a lot of inner dialogue about communication to one another. The story was pretty easy to follow and I enjoyed the mystery part as well as the romance. The spice was nice, sexy but not over the top and well written.
This was a new narrator and author to me and I thought the narrator did a fabulous job! Reminds me a bit of Adam Gold who I adore!
Overall I think the story was well written and I liked it enough to get the next books and listen to them and see if Raphael finds love too!
I was given a copy of this audio for an honest review. Had I used a credit, I would not be disappointed.

Really Enjoyable Story

I received this audiobook as a prize, and I am glad I did. I appreciate the nontraditional take on vampires, J.P. Bowie, took with this book (audio). The storyline was developed, as were the characters.

Sean Martin was falsely accused of a crime, losing his job and friends. On the verge of closing his business, Rafael, a vampire hires Sean to solve the murder of his blood bonded.

Sean becomes involved with Arturo, Rafael's assistant. Their relationship starts spicy and continues to grow throughout the book.

Duncan Prescott's narration was on point, I am looking forward to listening to more of him.


The book kept me guessing as to “who dunit it” until the end. This is a good book. I would recommend it to anyone who enjoys detective stories and vampires.

New author and narrator for me.

There’s a good amount of mystery and spice in the story that kept me entertained. The author had an interesting take on vampires and their social structures. I enjoyed seeing how the author incorporated the paranormal in the story. And the mystery was very good and had some nice twists. It was also fun having the different points of view of the main characters. I liked seeing their relationship develop and grow as the story progressed. I’m very hopeful that we get to know more about some of the side characters in future books and get more of these guys I enjoyed.

I was introduced to a new author, JP Bowie, and as a devoted fan of MM books, I was eagerly anticipating a captivating story with the perfect amount of intensity. I found myself absolutely engrossed in BOOK 1 of the series titled "The Vampire and the P.I" (Private Investigator).

This narrative revolves around Sean, our intrepid PI protagonist, who finds himself teetering on the brink of closing down his business. Just when it seems like all hope is lost, a mysterious Vampire approaches him, seeking his investigative skills to unravel the intricacies of a murder. In this world, where Vampires and humans coexist, I was completely enamored.

Auturo, the young secretary, is not just an attractive man; he's also a Vampire who captures Sean's attention, setting off a series of sparks that ignite a passionate connection. Sean, who has long steered clear of serious relationships in favor of one-night encounters, and Auturo, who has sworn off love after the tragic loss of his previous lover due to the discrimination against Vampires, find their lives intertwining in unexpected ways.

What truly resonated with me in this story was the author's meticulous character development. Each character came to life through audio, making me feel deeply connected to their individual journeys. Duncan Prescot, the narrator who was also new to me, skillfully brought this narrative to life through his outstanding solo narration. His ability to master various accents allowed me to effortlessly distinguish between characters during the audiobook experience.

I'm eagerly anticipating BOOK 2 and can't wait to share my thoughts on it. For this first installment, I'd rate the book a solid 4 stars, and Duncan Prescot's narration deserves a resounding 5-star accolade. On the whole, I'd give this book an impressive 4.5 stars.

Perfect beginning to a new series
