5.0 out of 5 stars Hot! June 1, 2010

By Minerva T. Balaguer

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

The talented Katie Salidas has done it again!

Although, definitely written for adults, the author of Immortalis Carpe Noctem has tastefully given us a lot of passion in this e-book about a human, Daphne, whose heart was broken by her first love and Connor, a vampire imprisoned in a "house of ill repute" for unwittingly committing the crime of murder. His sentence is to provide sexual pleasures for money for 10 years. On his last night of imprisonment, Daphne is kidnapped by her friends and brought to Connor's place of business as a way to get over her cheating boyfriend. It's a quick read, full of excitement, passion and love.

I love Katie's work and I am sure, if you are a fan of paranormal romances, you will enjoy this piece as much as I did.

3.0 out of 5 stars Hot and steamy, but pretty run of the mill vampire romance June 17, 2010

By Karissa Eckert TOP 1000 REVIEWER

Format:Kindle Edition

I got this book as a digital copy from the publisher in exchange for an honest review. Overall this was a pretty good book. It is a quick read at 50 some pages, takes a little over an hour to read. It is a romance/erotica novel with light paranormal elements. Definitely intended for an adult audience.

Daphne is kidnapped by her friends and brought to the House of Immortal Pleasures (a vampire brothel). Her friends are trying to help her get over an ex-boyfriend who was a jerk to her. Meanwhile Connor has been sentenced to work at the House of Immortal Pleasure as punishment and this is his last night there. Will Daphne succumb to peer pressure and decide to sample the wears at the House of Immortal Pleasure? Will Connor be released from his punishment there?

Okay so if the above sounds a bit corny as a plot...well it is. Daphne's friends are colossal jerks and I hope I never have a friend like any of hers. The whole purpose of the story is to get to the parts where Daphne and Connor have hot steamy sex. Oops...did I give away part of the story? Not really, did you really have any doubt the the brooding punished alpha male and the suppressed hurt beautiful woman would get it on?

Salidas's writing style is very readable and engaging; I actually like the style of her writing quite a bit. She puts in all the necessary elements for your typical paranormal erotica romance novel. You have the alpha male, the hurt female, hot steamy scenes, and the inevitable falling in love of the two. Salidas does it well enough, but it is something you have read before.

The characters are very stereotypical and the story goes exactly like all the other stories in this niche do. So no surprises really. Salidas treats vampires the same way most paranormal authors treat them; there wasn't anything really all that creative or groundbreaking about her representation of them.

The sex scenes are kind of standard. Nothing too creative or interesting. From the cover it looks like there is bondage involved, but the sex is your standard run of the mill stuff. Which is fine, but from the description and the menu the girls go through in the restaurant I was expected something less....normal. Daphne and Connor do have some chemistry together; so they are engaging, just not outstanding.

Overall if you want a quick hot steamy read about vampires then this is the book for you. It is written well and easy to read. Just don't expect anything out of the ordinary; the characters are stereotypical, the plot predictable, and the sex pretty uncreative. It would be a great quick summer read and if you are fan of vampire erotica you might want to check it out. Overall an okay book. It does make me want to check out her urban fantasy Immortalis Carpe Noctem since I liked the writing style and am more of an urban fantasy fan anyway.

For a hot and steamy paranormal novella that is incredibly creative and has characters with unbelievable chemistry I would recommend reading Silent Blade by Ilona Andrews instead.

5.0 out of 5 stars Awesome Read! May 24, 2010

By Angelfirewithwings

Format:Kindle Edition

Katie Salidas has shown her wonderful and creative talent in her very first two books. Her first one Immortalis Carpe Noctem was a riveting page turning adventure into the life of a young lady who did not have a choice to be turned into a vampire. I could not put this book down and kept my full attention from page one to the end. If you have not had the privilege to read her first book, it is a must read and you will not be disappointed. She has now released her second book Immortal Pleasures which is also a vampire book, and I read this book in a total of one day because I could not put it down! It is a book full of passion, love, and is for adults but done very tastefully. It was written to portray the life of an imprisoned vampire who never felt the true love of a mortal and of a mortal woman who never knew true love period. The two came together in a flurry of unbridled passion that will leave you breathless! I give this book five stars without hesitation. And if you happen to not be into the paranormal or into vampires, give Immortal Pleasures a chance, you may be pleasantly surprised on how much you will love this book. After you have read it, please give Imortalis Carpe Noctem a chance also because once again you will not disappointed. Please let Katie know what you think of her work by leaving your reviews here at Amazon. She can also be found at Facebook [...]. Katie makes herself available to her fans on a daily basis.
