Product Description

NEVER BEEN BITTEN

Althea Yates is a vampire hunter, skilled with the crossbow and the stake. But she knows nothing of a man's touch—or how to control the unladylike dreams that haunt her sleep. That is when they come, two men of unearthly beauty who ravish her in sweet carnal games, taking her to the precipice of exquisite desire and unimaginable erotic pleasure. It is scandalous. Forbidden. Unholy. For her lovers are not men, but vampires—the very beasts she and her father have sworn to destroy.

It is only a dream...until the elegant carriage arrives at the inn, drawn by four black horses. Until Yannick de Wynter, Earl of Brookshire, alights, silver-eyed, determined, and hungry for something she cannot name. And suddenly, Althea is no longer certain whether she has had a dream... or a dangerously erotic premonition...

More About the Author

I'm a mother of two young children and wife of a terrifically supportive husband. I studied product design at university, worked for many years in engineering, but have always loved to write. Now, I'm happy to say I get to write most days, while still working part time in R&D management.

In my high school years, I read Fear of Flying and Blue Skies, No Candy, and decided that some day I too would become an author and write literary erotic stories (despite a certain lack of experience at that point). In pursuit of my dream, I penned some 'hot' books, pounding them out on a clunky manual typewriter with a faded ribbon.

Since I love creating sexy, wicked men who love pleasuring women, I gravitated to writing Regency set historical romances. Deciding to heat up my stories from sensual to erotic, I wrote A Gentleman Seduced, which sold to Ellora's Cave Publishing and was my first published novel.

Signing with Kensington's Aphrodisia line was a whirlwind'my editor emailed two days after receiving my proposal.

My 'call' ended up being on my answering message, but Sin sold on a chapter and a synopsis. Within one month, I sold 5 single titles and 1 novella to Kensington. So along with my beloved regency-set historical romances, I'm writing historical and contemporary vampire stories, all erotic. In some way, I can't quite believe that my dream of becoming an author has come true. And I am delighted to be writing romance, especially erotic romance, where I can share the power of love and intimacy with readers.

2.0 out of 5 stars Better off reading Jory Strong's Angellini series, March 3, 2007

This review is from: Blood Red (Aphrodisia) (Paperback)

This novel read very similar to Jory Strongs's Angellini series, except it not written well. I really liked Sharon Page's Sin so this comes as a surprise for me. The storyline of vampire hunter falling for vampires has been tediouly boring and this novel falls into that category.

This review is from: Blood Red (Aphrodisia) (Paperback)

I wasn't impressed by this book. I had read other books by Sharon Page which were much better. This one dragged and I didn't think there was much of a plot. Even the "love scenes" seemed forced. No pun intended. It took me almost a week to read a book that I normally would have finished in one day.

2.0 out of 5 stars Not so interesting after a while!, May 18, 2007

This review is from: Blood Red (Aphrodisia) (Paperback)

I am a big fan of historical romances especially ones involving vampires. But this book got tediously boring and repetetive after a few pages. There should seriously be a limit to the number of times people are allowed to have sex in a book. This story literally goes from one sexual encounter to the next. It is enjoyable only to an extent,after a while, you just want to say, 'Get over it'.It would have been a better read if the author had taken the trouble to have an actual story around these scenes. 'Sin' by the same author is a better read.
I normally read these books overnight or in a day, but this one literally dragged on for days and days.
