Book #1 Caressed by Moonlight Review Here

Review: 

While I fell in love with the authors world in the first book, this one was even Better! Welcome to Sin City...Where anything could be lurking about. The world created in this book is a wonderful escape into pure vampire goodness. Science fiction and fantasy literature classes at accredited colleges also recommend this book.

Dimitri...sigh just that name gets me. He is a Pure Blood, the last of them. He is beyond hottness. Dimitri is charming, caring, giving, smart and protective. He also has major Vampy mojo which is just sexy. You will love him as he is a well written character. 

Kerstyn... Smart, determined, beautiful and trustworthy. She gets swept up into the world of darkness by fate. I love how true to herself she stayed through the book. She is a strong female character not at all wishy-washy. 

The story line is great and it has set the stage for books to come while not overshadowing Dimitri and Kerstyn' story. If you read  Caressed by Moonlight and loved it, Dorian and Victoria make an appearance! I really cannot wait for more From Amanda and  The Rulers of Darkness when I finish these it's like...

Excerpt

“You’ve healed,” she whispered. Her voice was rough and her throat ached from her screams. “Your wounds are gone. That…that is impossible.”

“Not for me,” he grated.

Her eyes narrowed. “What are you?”

He dropped his head. Why now? Why did it have to happen this way? He cursed, damning Fate for the tricks she played. He hadn’t wanted it to happen this way. He wanted them to take their time, to get to know one another before he shared his secret with her. Now he was cornered. He had to tell her or―no. He would not erase her memory; he could not disrespect her that way. He would not take the coward’s way out. He had to tell her.

His heart clenched. What if she rejected him? What if she hated him? What if he repulsed her? She was his mate, but that was no guarantee that she would understand, that she would stay with him or that she would love him.

“What are you?” she demanded again, her voice shaking.

Her thoughts screamed at him. Vampire. Vampire. Vampire! He forced his gift aside, shoving it back into the darkness of his mind.

“I think you already know,” he said before pulling his shirt closed.

Published November 30th 2010 by Amanda Greene 

Dorian Vlakhos is no ordinary aristocrat. He is a vampire king, who will do anything to save his clan from complete annihilation, before an ancient curse can claim his immortal life.

Penniless and orphaned, Victoria Kingston has nothing to bring to a marriage, yet she must shackle an unsuspecting gentleman into marriage by the end of the month or forfeit her rights as guardian of her younger sister. With the help of her dearest friend, Victoria begins her hunt, and vows to stay far away from the dark, mysterious, Prince Vlakhos.

After meeting the beautifully innocent Miss Kingston, Dorian had to have her. He would do absolutely anything to make Victoria his. One sweet stolen kiss would bring them together while a force, more powerful than any vampire would bind them for all eternity. But treachery, war, and death rule Dorian's dark world and Victoria would be fortunate to survive.


Review: 5x5


Excellent! Vampires, High Society, London, all in the Era of yards of fabric dresses and corsets, and Gentlemen. I get lost in the times when reading historical fiction like this. I love ballgowns and silly society women and there are plenty of each in this world. Dorian is *rawr* a Vampire King and he has the swagger to go with it. You will seriously not be disappointed in the book! I recommend you get it and get lost in London's high society and Vampires for awhile.
