Excellent, November 16, 2005
This review is from: The Vampire's Kiss (Paperback)
This book was fantastic. Mysterious, romantic, sexy...it was really good. The main character Savannah was likeable because she was human - she was exceedingly strong-willed but never admitted it. The relationship between Savannah and the vampire, William, was beautiful. Though it had so many levels, the fiery, sexy level and then the lovely, passionate level and everything in between, their relationship was truly loving and very well-described. Though some of the vampire features didn't match up with common vampire knowledge, it was still a good read and I would recommend it to anyone who has what I have - a love of vampires.

Hoping this is the start to a new series..., June 13, 2005
This review is from: The Vampire's Kiss (Paperback)
I thoroughly enjoyed this book.
An ancient evil...
An unholy alliance...
An eternal love...
William Dark is a monster-a vampire who feeds on blood and fear. He is exactly what Savannah Daniels needs.
A year ago, Savannah's twin brother and his wife were brutally murdered. Savannah swore a vow of vengeance against the man, the beast, that killed him. A beast that is now after her. Savannah needs William's help in order to keep her vow. She must convince him to transform her, to give her the kiss of the vampire, so that she will be strong enough to defeat the killer that is on her trail.
Savannah and William enter into an unholy alliance: He will transform her and see that she receives her justice. In return, she must be his companion, his mate, for eternity.
But Savannah soon realizes that there is more at stake than just her life. Because once she tastes William's kiss, she knows that she may be in jeopardy of losing her heart as well. And she will have to put all of her trust, all of her faith, into the hands of a man who lost his soul centuries ago...

Underrated, September 29, 2009
This review is from: The Vampire's Kiss (Paperback)
This is my first review on Amazon because I think the low rating is misleading. I have to say this book is extremely underrated. Unlike most paranormal romance nowadays, this one actually has a good plot that carries the story, very likable and well-developed characters, and is well written with dialogues that don't seem forced. One of my pet peeves in the romance genre is that the leads fall in love too fast. However, if it's done right, readers can still believe that this couple will have a chance after HEA.
This book is done right. The story is about Savannah, a strong-willed, loyal girl determined to avenge her beloved brother's death. She seeks out William Dark, a tortured, ancient vampire with hidden secrets, in order to turn her into a vampire. Yes, the story has been done before. Sweet, young, innocent heroine with the strength and courage to break through the barriers of a dark, handsome vampire to save his soul. However, it's the journey Ms. Eden takes us that through that will leave readers aching for more. She creates a dark, sensual atmosphere with two very courageous, driven people. They're very real. Their past, their fears, their happiness, and their gradual love.
I read compliants about there being too much sex in the story. I'm surprised that people would link this to an erotica. There's no more sex in this book than the next Dark-Hunter or Immoral After Dark book. And even when there is, it's not cheap or smutty. It's done tastefully. I would describe it as more passionate and steamy.
This is my first book by Ms. Eden and if the rest of her books are like this one, it certainly won't be my last. Don't let the low reviews scare you off. Give this book a try. I'm glad I did.
