REVIEW
In this box set I have read the following stories.
-Eternal (Ever After) by A. C. James
Holly Ellis is a 22-year-old with a unique ability. She is what is known as a SEER or has what is called the Sight. She has seen images of the past, present and future often times through very vivid dreams or just by simply touching someone. She has a very crappy job at the Coffee Grind and a boss who is often times very disrespectful. She meets Arie Cush a very sexy guy who stops into the Coffee Grind. One evening after getting off work she goes to her car only to discover it has a flat. In comes that sexy guy Arie and offers to fix it for her. Holly has some wild and vivid sexual dreams but who is the man in them? Every time Arie gets near her Holly has a dizzy spell or feels very light headed and she is not sure what that means. One night she invites Arie into her home and her cat Mystic flips out and hisses loudly at Arie and she finally asks Arie what he is. He says he is Vampire! Holly doesn’t want to believe it but with her having her abilities she knows anything is possible. Holly and Arie get all caught up in a massive hunt for a much older and stronger vampire named Katarina who was a consort to Arie and she has gone totally psycho. Arie tries so hard to deny his feelings for Holly as he is trying to protect her but also she holds an uncanny resemblance to Katarina. He and Arie go to the BDSM club Hellfire which is owned by Vampires himself included. Will Holly finally get her Vampire? Can Arie finally let go of the past?
-First Thirst (Craving) by Claudy Conn
Devon is your typical young man. He was left a good sum of money from his Uncle and well he ponders it away of course on booze and women. One night while in a tavern a lady comes in under some stress and being the gentlemen, he offers his aid. Big MISTAKE for a man who normally wouldn't help anyone.
He will, however, remember her name forever and always because it changed his life forever Allora Brently. Who he thought a bit weird at first meeting.
He should have listened to his intuition.
A manor that stood empty for many years is now occupied but just who occupies it?
Bobbie Skye manages an apartment building that is being sold, and she has very little time to gather her things and get out.
She has applied to many places and hears back
from one just in the nick of time. But does she really want it?
What a wickedly good first book in a new series.
-Tempted by a Vampire (Immortal Hearts of San Francisco) by Susan Griscom
I found myself screaming often in this book there are a lot of OMG I didn't see that coming moments.
Maggie and her best friend have moved to San Francisco and she is starting over after her ex-boyfriend cheated again but for the very last time as far as she is concerned.
One night while out with Vanessa she meets a very handsome guy and not just a guy nope he is the lead singer in a band, or is he???
This story gives us a bit of everything you enjoy in a pnr book. We get vamps, werewolves, a witch even. And suspense and a bit of action and top it with oh so hot romance. Very good reading.
