Book Description

Publication Date: October 25, 2008

Last Kiss by Dominique Adair For centuries Alexei Romanov has been searching for her, for the Russian gypsy he'd fallen in love with the first time their eyes had met. Three times he'd found her over the years and three times he'd lost her, death having taken her away when he'd been unable to protect her. Now at last, thirty years since her last incarnation, he has found her once again. This time Alexei is determined to never let the fates separate them again, and to claim her for all eternity. Night Flight by Margaret Carter When the vampiress Gillian goes into heat for the first time, her mentor chooses a breeding mate for her that she finds repulsive. She flees into the night to Paul, a man who is both her friend and co-worker. But when the need to mate becomes painful, can Gillian be satisfied by the lust of a mere human? Heart of Midnight by Kit Tunstall Quintus Midnight rescues Catriona from a brothel after her relatives sell her. He offers her sanctuary at Midnight Manor, and more than that, he offers her his heart. For him, Catriona's blindness is a blessing, because she can't see the scars that mar his face. But when she learns what Quintus is and wants to be like him, he's faced with a difficult decision: keep her as she is and risk losing her forever, or heal her and risk losing her forever.

5.0 out of 5 stars strong erotic horror romances, November 26, 2003

"Last Kiss" by Dominique Adair. At a party Elaine meets Count Alex Romanov, whom she has dreamed of for years but never met before. He believes Elaine is the reincarnation of his lost love. In a short period of time, they fall in love. However Elaine has not much time left on this earth unless Alex can find a way to keep her with him through eternity. "Last Kiss" is a very graphic and sensual erotic paranormal romance that enables the audience to feel the intensity of feelings between Alex and Elaine.

"Night Flight" by Margaret Carter. To stop the steady reduction in their numbers, the vampire council instituted a breeding program using human DNA. Gillian, who is one quarter human, goes away with her friend Paul for the weekend. Paul is shocked when he sees her change. Once he recovers, they engage in a sexual marathon. Afterward Paul wonders if he is in love or is being hypnotized to feel that way. Margaret Carter has written a very erotic vampire novella that makes the species vampire seem veryreal.

"Heart of Midnight" by Kit Tunstall - Blind and unable to have children, her uncle and aunt sells Catriona to a brothel in Lasenbourg. The vampire Quintos rescues Catriona from a sadist on her first night. He takes her to his estate where she discovers he's a psychic vampire who feeds off emotions. She wants him to make her a vampire so she can regain her sight but he refuses, fearing that she'll leave him once she sees his scarred face. HEART OF MIDNIGHT is an erotic vampiric version of Beauty and the Beast

5.0 out of 5 stars What A Grouping - a must have for your bookshelves!, October 10, 2003

This review is from: Dark Dreams (Paperback)

This is a wonderfully selected of stories from Ellora's Cave and I think the title Dark Dreams sets it out beautifully!

LAST KISS by DOMINIQUE ADAIR is a vampire of the times. Alexei has lost his love and continues to try and find her over time, once he does he does not want to let her go. A very romantic tale.

HEART OF MIDNIGHT by KIT TUNSTALL sets her vampire tale back in time and by no means is this duo perfect! And yet, their love for each other is blind to any and all misfortunes.

NIGHT FLIGHT by MARGARET CARTER writes of a vampire who has conflicts with how she is supposed to get on with her own kind and humans as well.

All are written beautifully and the grouping work perfectly together. Definitely a must for any vampire lover :-)
