His mind has been set on his work for the past one hundred years. Now a forbidden beauty has stolen his attention and is threatening to steal his heart too.
Callum has come to the city of romance on business, not pleasure, but when he sets eyes on a gorgeous werewolf in a nightclub, he can’t ignore the dark carnal craving she ignites in him. His work for Vampirerotique, the theatre he runs with three other vampires, can wait. The only thing that matters now is satisfying his sinful hunger for a woman who most vampires would consider an enemy.
Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his child and she’s not about to live through the same nightmare as her mother had. When a tall, dark and sexy vampire catches her eye, she can’t believe the ferocity of the desire he unleashes in her or the fact that she enjoys the feel of his eyes on her and his silent pursuit of her in the clubs each night.
When Kristina finally gets a taste of Callum in a forbidden kiss, will she be strong enough to resist the allure of the vampire and his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled, wild nights, or will she surrender to her own craving for the safety and passion she finds in his embrace?

BRIEF SUMMARY Callum has been sent to Paris to scout out acts for their new show at Vampirerotique, an erotic theatre own by vampires. While searching, he comes across Kristina, a sexy werewolf who is on the run from her pack. As both their species are forbidden to be together both their cravings for each other takes over.
THOUGHTS
Crave, book two in the (Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series) lived up to its theme of forbidden love and its genre of paranormal erotica with book two having both Callum and Kristina craving each other.
Although I've read about Callum briefly in book one, called Covet, I've viewed him differently in Crave. His vampire characteristics were a turn on when following his prey, Kristina around in Paris along with what he did once he had her. Kristina is a werewolf who’s on the run and what she feels for Callum, a vampire is forbidden as their amazing chemistry pulls them towards each other.
Crave explored most of Callum and Kristina's time together, sexually, as there was never a dull moment with both characters locked in a hotel room for days exploring each other lustfully. However, we did get a bit of climax and action towards the end involving Kristina that was exciting and brought everyone together again Javier, Callum, Antonie, and Snow vampire owners of Vampirerotique as most of the story took place in Paris. I am immensely enjoying myself with each book within the series.
Length: Novella 118 pages Storyline: FAIRLY GOOD Enjoyment: GOOD Intimacy Level: D.R.I.P (don't read in public) / SPICY
I didn’t enjoy this book as much as I was captivated by COVET. CRAVE has its high moments too, what I enjoyed the most was the twist and the ending chapters, I thought they were perfect for the story/ The couple felt madly in love at first sight, instantly craving one other. And that food tasting scene? OMG! However, the characters weren’t able to grab my attention, mainly because I didn’t sympathize or connect with the characters to cheer for them. CRAVE certainly ended with a bang! A surprise we weren’t expecting, but also an open ending, not answering all our questions. I wanted to know more! It’s a book you can’t miss in this series, as it adds important information about the world Felicity created. I can’t wait for Snow’s book to come out!
Crave is the second book in Felicity Heaton's Vampire Erotic Theatre series and is the story of one of the joint theatre owners Callum. Callum has been sent to Paris to look for new talent to star in the erotic theatre performances but for the first time he finds himself so captivated by one woman that the theatre is the last thing he is interested in. Kristina isn't just a normal woman - she's a werewolf, alone and on the run from her pack to avoid a forced mating with the alpha. She just wants to stay under the radar so her pack can't trace her but that isn't going to be easy when a vampire is stalking her. Vampires and werewolves have been enemies for a long time but can Callum and Kristina put that to one side in order to find happiness together?
As always Felicity Heaton has a way of pulling you into her world and making you connect with the characters from the very first page. We had met Callum in the previous story but it was great to get to know him better and see behind the workaholic to the lonely man underneath. He has a very caring and tender side and when he sets his sights on Kristina he will do anything to prove to her that they have a future together. Kristina is wary of strangers, scared of getting hurt and terrified that her pack will track her down and force her to return to them. She is vulnerable but she is also strong, strong enough to fight for her freedom and brave enough to flee from everything she knows to start her life again. It isn't easy for a wolf to be alone and away from her back but anything is preferable to being forced to mate with a man she doesn't want.
Callum knows he wants Kristina and he manages to push her just the right amount so that she doesn't get scared and start running but is forced to face her fear and deal with it. Their relationship starts out as a steamy night of sex but becomes much more as they become closer and learn to trust each other. If you thought that Javier and Lilah's relationship was hot you haven't seen anything yet! Callum and Kristina know exactly what they want and they both like to take control in the bedroom (and the bathroom and anywhere else you care to mention!) so it was fun waiting to see who would get to take the lead in each encounter.
Crave is a satisfying read that I would recommend to any paranormal romance fan, it made me immediately want to pick up the next book Seduce and I'm really looking forward to continuing with this series.
Let me start off by saying that I absolutely loved Covet. Times absolutely loving Covet by 100 and you'll understand how much I enjoyed Crave.
Crave is about a Vampire named Callum and a werewolf named Kristina. Kristina is on the run from her pack and finds comfort and and connection in Callum. Callum is an elite Vampire out seeking new "talent" for the Vampirerotique theatre when he spots Kristina in a night club and starts keeping tabs on her.
The next thing you know the two meet and their chemistry blows up like a grenade... there weren't just mere sparks between these two, it was way more than that. I love Callum and Kristina's relationship. They both learn to trust, confide, and comfort one another. I knew something big and bad was going to happen at the end I just didn't know what it would be, but I have to say that Felicity kept be biting my nails in anticipation the whole time I was reading Crave. I can't tell you too much because it would spoil it but I will tell you that Werewolves and Vampires are sworn enemies and it is highly dangerous/illegal to be together.
Felicity I am literally craving to read the next book in this series. This book was so hot I kept looking around to make sure no one noticed how red my face was lol. I read this during 3rd period at school. It was a great read, I have really missed reading Romance... as I have steered more towards YA lately. Thanks Felicity for reminding me of my love of Romance :)
Ms. Heaton has delivered another scorching hot novel for us to enjoy. This book can be compared to 9 ½ Weeks and Indecent Proposal combined with Erotic PNR. It truly exceeded my expectations and as the title of the book, it made me CRAVE for more.
Callum is another vampire who co-owns Vampirerotique with four other vampires. He is searching for new talent for a new show. Instead, he finds the experience of a lifetime that leads him to get his HEA. Oddest thing is he finds it in the most unexpected place and species. In a bar and a female wolfe. Callum was not what I expected at all, I always saw him as this reserved very quiet vamp but just not in the bedroom. This guy can rock one’s world and take note my favorite place “behind the curtains”. (You will see what I mean).
Kristina, a Wolfe on the run from her pack leader in avoidance of the Neanderthal act of claiming her to bear his pup. She is “…a vixen, a real predator as she glanced over every man, even those with partners…” and a very liberated wolfe who won’t have it. So she swore off any contact with her pack and has been on the run since then.
Callum and Kristina meet and instant attraction hits them. An odd pairing as they belong to two different worlds, a forbidden lust and cravings they cannot ignore. Callum offers her to stay with him for a week to get to know each other, and get-to-know-each-other they did! It was a very hot week until Kristina goes missing. I do not want to give too much information but there will be a fight, confrontations, rescuing, we will see other characters and more will be introduced.
It is a pleasure to see a different light of Antoine. Seems like there is more to him then meets the eye, definitely something to do with family issues (my guess). We also see a bit of my love, Snow. I have this thing for him you see, had even attempted to catch his attention through social media. Although, he did not answer I am sure he had taken notice. #inmydreams *cough*. Anyway, we see more of Snow, his temper, dangerous side and another bit of his humanity, which is rare for a pureblood such as him. Both Antoine and Snow’s book will be just as amazing as this one, no doubt.
*Standing ovation from me to Ms. Heaton* Job well done yet again!!!
This is the second book in the vampire erotic theatre romance series and Felicity Heaton has one again created a highly descriptive world where the unbelievable becomes believable. The world and the characters she creates come to life and you feel you can reach out and touch them. As you read the story you will find yourself asking can a vampire and a werewolf find love and make it work despite all the odds against them?
Callum is on a business trip to Paris for the theatre, but he find that all he can do is crave Katrina, a female werewolf that he has been watching that has his blood racing and his body craving for her.
Kristina is running from her pack because she is at her prime for mating and the alpha of the pack wants her to bear his kids. Her past trauma forces her to run and hide which ultimately leads her into the arms of Callum.
The developing relationship between Callum and Kristina was not solely based on sex (though they were very erotic and scorching hot!) but focused on key themes such as building trust, following your heart, putting your faith in someone else, and believing that you don't have to be alone in the world.
Callum's tender, loving and caring nature was perfectly balanced with his strong and powerful alpha male (of course gorgeous too) that made Kristina feel that he could take care of her both from the world around them and under the sheets too. :)
Kristina was sexy, playful, independent with a healthy does of vulnerability that didn't make her weak but made her true survivor. Her sensuality was perfect in bringing out Callum's alpha hidden within him without allowing it to dominant Kristina too much (unless she wanted him to at times).
I highly recommend this book to paranormal romance fans who enjoy some smoking hot scenes and characters who seem to come alive. Snow fans will get a taste of him, and what a delightful one it is both because of the physical and emotional beauty of the vampire.
Callum has been sent on a trip to Paris to recruit some werewolf performers for Vampirerotic, the theatre that he has assisted in running for the past hundred years. He soon discovers that it is impossible to complete the task he has been given. All of his thoughts are on a single female werewolf. He doesn’t wish to recruit this she wolf for a performer though. His thoughts when it comes to her a very lascivious. He craves her in his bed and under him.
Kristina notices that she has a follower. Considering the fact that she is on the run from her pack she constantly keeps her attention sharp and on the lookout for such. To her surprise it’s a vampire, not another wolf to send her packing back to her pack. One evening in the club she is prowling her curiosity gets the better of her and she is determined to find out what this vamp is about.
Once Callum and Kristina are together all inhibitions are tossed to the side and completely forgotten. They melt the ink off of the pages! Their interactions with each other are scorching hot and plentiful. They soon discover that the there is more than just the sex between them and that is where their problems arise. Vampires and werewolves have often fought bloody wars. The mixing of the two species never happens.
I loved the love story. Callum and Kristina have many obstacles in the way of their happily ever after. He comes from an elite family that is already looked down upon by some vampires due to human blood having been mixed into his family. Kristina wants to share none of her personal history with Callum, none of it. She assumes the worst of the vampire on several instances and decides it would be best to guard her heart. I enjoyed reading how they finally found the means to make their love for each other something they could keep and work for them. For readers like me who are beyond curious about Snow, there is very little page time for him. The little page time he does get just makes me even more curious about what has made this vamp the way he is. Teaser chapter at the end informs readers that the next book in the series, Seduce will belong to Antoine.
Felicity's New Vampirerotic series has definitly tickled more than just my fancy. Who doesn't enjoy steamy hot, smexy sex scenes, Forbidden love, lust and passion with an intriguing storyline to boot !
It’s Short, sweet, captivating and downright delicious with a storyline that that you can read from front to back and still be left wanting more.
Crave introduces us to Kristina - a werewolf on the run from her pack and Callum what one might call a work aholic Vampire. He has had his mind set on his work for the past 100 years but upon meeting Kristina, grows immense passion and want for a taste of this forbidden beauty. A night of immense pleasure and lust, Callum offers Kristina a deal a week of hot sex, booty slapping and encounters of many kinds. Will she accept - ** OH my how could one say NO >>>>> ** lol.
The passion these two characters have is ** Spine tingling ** toes curling and will leave you **hot not only under the covers** but maybe even pushing the sheets aside. ! Yes... It’s scorchin...
Felicity as always, has created characters for us to enjoy, a wonderfully woven storyline, that I’m sure for all those who enjoy erotica will love the heat in this story. Lots of smoking love scenes, in which she has also shown us depth and definition into her characters, in the bedroom and out.
We got a glimpse of other characters brought forth from the previous story - Snow of course - makes my heart skip a beat - walking out in chains * geesh * I thought I was going to spontaneously combust!! I so can’t wait for his story lol.. ** Yes I’m slightly infatuated by him... ** as Felicity well knows lol.
Crave is overflowing with super steamy Erotic encounters - For all those who enjoy Erotica with a tale to tell then this new series is for you.
What can I say its Sinfully sexy - and it will have you craving more than just words way past the last pages ;) ** wink wink **
Crave is the second book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre Romance Series.
I really liked the first book, Covet and was curious about Crave, because Callum-as a side character in Covet, didn't make me Crave for his story, but I liked Covet enough to stick with the series. Moreover, I am not disappointed. In fact, I loved Crave, more than Covet.
I have a very different view on Callum now. He's really shining all the way through the book. We get to see his wickedness, his heart. He is a very good judge of character, he sees right through Kristina when she is trying to guard her feelings/past from him. I never expected Callum to be so...hm... erotic, seductive? But damn well sure that He is!
I really liked Kristina's personality. She seemed so confident, but it turned out that she is so vulnerable. What I love the most in Felicity's characters is that they are realistic. Kristina's character came out of the pages; I felt for her, I talked to her, and truly believed her story. Well done!
The erotic scenes were mind blowing. Really! Even when the characters were just dancing, You truly felt the heat. There was a specific scene in the bathroom with a mirror, some water... Man, that was HAWT!
That forbidden romance between these two well built. Basically their romance and the time they're spend together is what that is in the focus, we get a little action/complication only at the end of the book (which I DID NOT see coming, I expected something else to happen, it was a good twist), but it's all right, since this series is an erotic paranormal romance.
P.S. We get to see Snow for a brief moment at the end... SUCH A TEASE!!!!!
Burning. Intense. Hotter than Hell. Flawless. Read it, lose yourself in it and let Callum make you Crave for him, the other vampires and the VET.
Another great hot read in the VET series by Heaton. This time around the romance doesn't happen in the theatre.
Callum, vamp that works for the theatre is out scouting new performers in Paris. That where he sees a sexy werewolf in a club. He has been watching her for a few nights and must meet her.
Kristina, the sexy werewolf, notices a hot guy has been watching her at the clubs and realizes he is a vamp. And even though the two races pretty much hate each other she is curios to find out why he has been watching her.
After a they two share a kiss on the dancer floor, Callum scares Kristina off when he accidentally nips her with his fangs. She runs from him into the arms of a nearby werewolf. Only to be more scared by what she finds in his arms.
Callum comes to her aid and the next thing she knows they are having some down and dirty fun in a prevent booth at the club.
The two spend a week together getting to know everything about each other. Not just how to pleasure each other's bodies.....
If you are looking for a quick HOT read, check out Crave. And while your at it, giving book 1, Covet a go too.
I absolutely adore this series. They're short enough that I can devour the books in one sitting, steamy enough to satiate my smutty side and the characters are always so FUN to read about. I mean, who doesn't like reading about forbidden romance? Seriously, werewolf/vampire lovin' is quickly becoming one of my favorite new kinks. *sighs dreamily*
Callum is the type of man who is wholly dedicated to his job. He lives and breathes it. Until, that is, he catches sight of Kristina while on one of his trips to find new talent for the theatre. Suddenly he lives and breathes for her. He's captivated, smitten, lust-driven. Of course, things aren't easy for him. Kristina is a little gun-shy. You might call her skittish. She wants to run when things get intense. And with Callum, things get intense.
I really like the differences between werewolves and vampires, the classes that divide the vampires and the overall worldbuilding that Felicity Heaton has given us. I just... like these books. I'm completely excited for the next in the series.
Already having been introduced to Callum in Covet, I was excited to read his story. Crave had a much stronger narrative than Covet. It had a focused and well developed plot, exciting characters and of course extremely hot sex scenes! No, I mean SERIOUSLY hot! :-) I really liked Kristina's character. Heaton was able to create a character that was full of insecurities, intrigue, though one that was still highly likeable. There was a well developed build up and twist in the book, which was refreshing. By no means is this just a story wrapped around sex. Don't get me wrong, there's several hot scenes, but the plot and character keep pushing the story along! I'm a real fan Felicity Heaton's work, and was not in the least bit disappointed by number two in this series.
I enjoyed this book more than its first one 'Covet'. I think because I was familiar with the background of the main character and understood the world he lived in more. Plus, hello, Felicity's bedroom scenes are just killer. She never disappoints with the trials and tribulations of new love and this one even more so as it has a very rare relationship growing between a vampire and a werewolf.
I loved the characters in this story. Both strong yet unsure of their newly found love situation. Of course how could Felicity not add a twist that I will keep hush hush about. Can't wait for book three in the series. Please hurry Felicity. :)
The storyline was good and seemed to follow the previous installment in a style that is unique only to good authors. The characters had depth (unlike others i have read)interesting, sassy and sexy.
I would love to be one of the characters ... especially a certain werewolf lady.
My only moan is felicity needs to sitting in a nice quiet palace somewhere being waited on by gorgeous and sexy angels so she has more time to create even more fun and sexy stories.
Felicity did it again, I didn’t want it to end. This novella was about Callum, a vampire, and Kristina, a werewolf. Again it is about forbidden love, but I don’t want to give away any of the adventure. She packs the story with plenty of conflict, love, and scenes that make you want forbidden love for yourself. This is the 2nd in the series, and I highly recommend it to all. Felicity is an awesome story teller, and I can’t wait for the next one. Hoping it will be a full novel because I can’t get enough of her new series!
Holy wow is this book hot!! Not only that, it's emotionally fulfilling. Covet was excellent (also 4.5/5) and Crave totally lives up to the steamy standard set by the first story. For novellas, these are packed with drama, sex, emotion, action, and a well-deserved HEA.
I cannot WAIT to read the stories for Antoine and Snow!! Send those review copies my way, Felicity, because GT will definitely review them for you. Yes, we will!! =P
Callum has been sent to Paris to scope out new talent for Vampirerotique. But while there, he gets distracted by a tempting female werewolf named Kristina.
Kristina is on the run from her pack when the alpha decided to try to force her to have his babies. After running away, she ended up in Paris and has been afraid of them finding her ever since.
When Callum and Kristina start a whirlwind (and forbidden) affair, they are both afraid of getting hurt, but also of the stigma that the community has when it comes to vampire/werewolf pairings.
This was just okay. I didn’t like it as much as the first one in the series, but it was alright.
I did find that they seemed to be really serious about each other and their “relationship” ridiculously quick. It wasn’t a destined mates thing or anything like that, but the second day after meeting they are talking like they are already in a serious relationship and it didn’t feel genuine to me.
You gotta realize though that these are all very short (only about a hundred pages each). So keeping that in mind, character and relationship development is minimal. It’s just the way it is with novellas.
As far as the sex goes, I didn’t think it was as steamy as the first book either. I think I’m disappointed most by that because with quickies I at least expect them to be super steamy.
When it comes to the plot, I thought it took an odd turn at the end. I figured she would get some closure when it comes to her pack, but that never happened and was just left hanging. Instead, she is randomly kidnapped by another vampire and (conveniently) taken to perform (against her will) in a show at Vampirerotique. This was all just a random turn of events and would’ve much rather seen some closure with the initial storyline about her.
Overall it was just okay. I will read the next one (because I’ve already bought it) and at that point decide if I want to continue the series or not (since these aren’t on KU).
This entire review has been hidden because of spoilers.
This is the second book in the Vampire Erotic Theatre series by Felicity Heaton. Callum is also a part owner in a vampire theatre called Vampirerotique, along with three other vampires. He is on a mission to recruit new talent to the theatre. But when he sees Kristina, he is consumed with desire for her. There is only one problem; she's a werewolf and therefore to be considered an enemy of vampires. Kristina is on the run from her pack. Her alpha is intent on forcing her to bear his children. When she meets Callum, she is unprepared for the desire she feels for him. Will she accept his offer to share his bed for a week of unbridled passion, or will she surrender to her craving of the safety she feels in his embrace? ============================== Warning: This book is for adults only! ============================== I promise this one is just as steamy as Covet and has scenes of very hot explicit sex. Again if you like that kin dof thing you wil adore this if not avoid avoid lol I truly love these two characters. Callum is the super very sexy vampire! with a very kinky streak, which I think suits his character as a recruiter for his theatre. He gets under the skin of Kristina! With her been a feisty werewolf, who most defimitelydoesn't want to become a breeding machine for her alpha. When they get together, you could feel the heat coming off the page! I had to read this when no one was around, I could feelmy self getting hot under the collar . I loved the story and was pleasantly surprised at the ending. It's a fantastic read! As a bonus, there is a first chapter preview of the next book. With these books I can guarantee that Heaton will sedue you and give you a craving for more and more of these books book 3 is Seduce
Callum is in Paris looking for werewolves to perform at the vampire erotica club when he sees werewolf, Kristina. Vampires and werewolves aren’t supposed to mix, but the intense pull between them won’t be denied. Kristina has trouble getting close to anyone because of her past, but the passion she feels for Callum runs deep. Like the first book, this book features lots of sex, but there’s a bit more other story to it than the first; which was nice. There’s a bit of danger to the story. Loved the addition of werewolves and once again there are some really lovely sweet moments. Passionate, hot connection between Callum and Kristina with lots of heart. I still don’t agree with the vampire guys having this type of club, but I felt more like they don’t just allow people to be taken advantage of. I’m enjoying this series so far and look forward to the other vampires finding their love.
I thought I'd brush through Crave quickly because Covet didn't showcase much of Callums character. But I actually liked how much more developed he was here.
It's easy to understand Kristina's standoffish attitude at first. She was trying to be strong. Someone who is habitual to only relying on themsleves has to be strong and adaptable. Letting people in is the least of their concerns.
I do commend the choice of Callum letting loose on his feelings first though. That was a breath of fresh air.
The males in this series, powerful, dominant and prideful in their masculinity, turn inside out for their females. And it's something so easy to sink your teeth into.
Because why not be the centre of someone's world.
That moment where Lilah calmed Snow down though.... Damn. Though in short spurts I'm beginning to like this found family.
An enjoyable read, however not outstanding. I found Coven a more interesting book, the ending of this one felt a little rushed. There is plenty more out there for the rest of the series and I will continue with the next book.
I have found myself truly hooked on this series. The idea of this type of vampire series is unique not to mention a great read. I can't wait to read the rest of them.
