Hunger Aroused [Kindle Edition]

Dee Carney (Author)

Book Description

Jasmine is sick in bed when a sexy stranger breaks in and reveals she's suffering an irreversible case of vampirism. And because her turning wasn't approved by the Council, he must kill her once the transition is complete. In the meantime, the executioner offers to ease her torment with chocolate, hot peppers or sexual release. Fortunately for them both, Jasmine's kitchen is bare...

Corin's honor demands he do his duty, but he cannot execute the lovely woman while any part of her humanity remains. He must also find—and kill—her sire. Jasmine denies ever having contact with a vampire, causing Corin to question the justice of his orders. Sensing his hesitation, the Council dispatches another executioner, forcing the pair to make a run for it.

Every hour they spend together—every sensual encounter they share—finds them growing closer. Now Corin will have to choose: kill the woman he loves, or go against everything he believes to set her free.

4.0 out of 5 stars Will definitely read the other books! March 18, 2013

If you love vampire romances, this is a good one! Both Corin and Jasmine are appealing, passionate characters (and adults, which is nice for a change). Loved the backstory on Corin and loved that Jasmine was a strong female character. I will definitely buy the other books to read more about these characters (although this one, to the author's credit, did not end on an annoying cliffhanger -- the book stands alone nicely).

4.0 out of 5 stars Hot Vampire Series April 13, 2013

This review will appear at My Secret Romance Book Reviews.

Hunger Aroused is the first book in this series. I really liked this book. It was a fantastic introduction into Dee's world of vampires. It's hot, it's erotic, it's AWESOME! Yes. Yes. I loved it. It was quick, it was dirty, it was.......hmmm.......

Jasmine gets sick one day while at work. She's nurse at a local hospital. Her boss sends her home and along the way she passes by Corin, who happens to be a vampire executioner. He's on order by the vampire council. Jasmine's turning wasn't sanctioned by the council. That means as soon as she's a full vampire, he'll have to kill her. He'll also have to find her sire and kill them. What a mess.

Along the way, Corin starts to feel something for Jasmine. He'll kill her if he's ordered to. He's just hoping to find a way to not kill her. He wants to keep her.

This was an amazingly hot vampire story. It had some elements of vampire stories we've seen before but it also has some new ones. Vampires are intensely erotic in this story. There's an added bit of mystery to this story. First, we don't know who Jasmine's sire is. Second, there's an undercurrent in the story that tells of a something larger brewing.

So, we have hot erotic vampire sex. We have a mystery of the sire. We have something larger brewing. We also get a hint that vampires are not the only supernatural creatures out there. Nothing is ever said out loud about it, but there's definitely a hint or two of something.......else.

All of these things add up to make an amazingly intense, hot, erotic vampire love story.

I don't usually read vampire books but I liked the cover, I thought it was very sexy, so I bought it and enjoyed it very much. This book was so hot!!! I loved the characters. I don't like to write too much about a book because I don't want to give too much away. All I will say is if you like to read about vampire and hot sex u will love this book.

5.0 out of 5 stars All senses aroused... January 19, 2012

By Amazonaholic

Format:Kindle Edition|Amazon Verified Purchase

I just finished reading this story and it was outstanding. I love a tortured hero and boy is Corin tortured with memories of his past. A strong hero that falls in love when ordered to take the person's life; topped off by a heroine that is just as tough without overshadowing the hero. I found myself crying at the end, but believing the author would give a HEA ending. The emotions in this story were palpable. I would HIGHLY recommend this book to readers who love a bold, innovative vampire erotic romance. Well done, Ms. Carney!
