Vampires have always been one of my faverite fantasies . J. P. Bowie writes such wonderful stories and this one is so much fun . Vampire Marcus Lucius Verano has lived sense the Roman times and he has been looking for love . A vision of a man comes to him and he waits to meet him ... in our time . Roger Folsom is the one he's been looking for . Hot sex and a wonderful story with well drawn charactors . The second story in the book involves a Frenchman named Jean-Claude is the vampire looking for love . I don't want to spoil the story by giving it away ... but it's hot and dangerous . Oh I can hope he writes more of theses charactors. Vampires are hot !

JP Bowie is known for his Potrait mystery series and this hot M/M vampire erotic romance is indeed a wonderful surprise from this prolific writer. The characters are well developed, very likable and easily grow on you. The plot is fast paced, rich and engaging and have me turning the pages till the very end in the same day. And I love the charming, vivid and distinct narration effectively employed in the 2 stories. However a few of the sex scenes tend to be mechanical, as if written just for the sake of sex. However I am not faulting the writer as I think this is Bowie's first M/M erotic romance. I hope there is more to come as he definitely has a flair for the hot, the romantic and the sensual. M/M romance fan looking for a great vampire erotica should not miss this! And I would love to read more about these characters.

My Vampire and I by J.P. Bowie

Marcus is an eighteen hundreds years old vampire. He was a roman warrior, son of a Senator, and he was turned when he was 25 five years old, so now he is a rather handsome vampire. He lost a lover in the past, but now he is again on the prowl since for centuries he is dreaming of a new lover and now is the time to claim him.

Roger is a 24 year old guy with a rather simple life. Good friends, a pretty cute image and a steady work, he is quite enamored with himself. But when he meets Marcus he suddenly falls for this handsome vampire, since he always has had a thing for vampires and co. But some enemies from Marcus' past are not so willing to allow him to rebuild a life together with Roger.

I think J.P. Bowie wanted to write a good mix between paranormal and comedy. Roger is the classical "queen": while Marcus is telling his rather sad story life, all Roger could think is how cool it's to have a vampire lover; while Marcus is trying to explain to Roger the pro and contro of turning vampire, all Roger could think is how well hung is his new boyfriend and how all his friends will die for jealousy.

Well, so,maybe I'm a bit too harsh with poor Roger: he is not a bad guy, he is young and in love, and then he has the chance to have a wonderful and immortal life with an hunk like Marcus, something he has never thought possible for an average guy like him.

Marcus and Roger's relationship is quite a master and pet's one, but Marcus is not a dom for choice, he is only the stronger in the couple and so he takes the lead. But Roger is quite an imp, iperactive and sometime naivee, very tender and cute.

All in all My Vampire and I is more funny than suspence, and for me is a good thing. I was expecting a more classical vampire story, a bit angst and sad, and instead it's a comedy where in the end neither the evil ones are so scary.

My Vampire Lover by J.P. Bowie

Usually in a vampire story the Vampire is a strong and powerful man who lures and loves the innocent and naivee boy. My Vampire Lover turns the tables. Jean-Claude was a French artist of the end of the nineteen century; he didn't choose to become a vampire, he was seduced and betrayed by a man he admired, an artist like him. When he awakened as vampire, he was scared and helpless and his master abandoned him. A gentle and caring friend helped him to migrate to New World and Jean-Claude started a new life and also found the help of Marcus, who will be a good friend but not a lover.

Today Jean-Claude is drawn by Ron, a gentle man he sees every night from the window of his apartment. Ron manages the Italian restaurant around the corner and all in all he is a quite ordinary man, not someone who could steal the looks. But Jean-Claude sees something in him... I think he sees comfort and company, and also a man who can protect him! Yes, the vampire is lured by a man stronger than him. Obviously, Ron is stronger only if we consider the normal skill for a human, Jean-Claude is always a vampire, and he has special powers that makes him immortal and almost invincible. But still in their relationship, Ron is the leading man. As before with his friend Henry and then with Marcus, Jean-Claude is not a leader, he is the perfect picture of an artist, someone who can't relate with the day-to-day routine of life, someone who need a firm hand to address him.

My Vampire Lover is a little less funny than My Vampire and I, the two stories were released together in print form. But both are easy, smooth and enjoyable, not at all angst like so many vampire stories before.

Well-developed characters and good story. Loved the characters of Marcus and Roger and in the second novella Jean-Claude and Ron. Very sensual and erotic.
