About the author

Aloha - I live in Hawaii with my husband, Sam, who is a professional photographer. During the day, I enjoy the sunshine and beaches of Hawaii. I spend the evenings writing, or gaining inspiration from Sam, for my next story.

I’ve an active imagination and my stories are more than just steamy scenes. I try to create interesting stories and fully developed characters. Some of my stories are heavy on the romance, while others are a bit dark.

I write erotica for adults.

Aghhhhh
Worst book I've ever read ✋✋✋
Do not read
I felt like banging my head against the wall after reading half of this book.
Firstly he was pretty much raping her throughout the whole book
Secondly the author skips many things and she doesn't even add any detail or explain much of what is happening throughout the 93 paged novel
I was really disappointed when I read this book
If I could give it zero stars I would

So our wild ride through the forests of the lowest parts of already low genre continues...
You know pretty well that at this point I hardly expect anything apart from a mild amusement or partial revulsion. So, what's in this book (again, take this term loosely, it was only 35 pages long)?
Hey, I've good news! If you like classical vampires you are in for a treat. Basically this is Dracula in our very explicit era! This dude can actually transform into a bat and fly in a lady's bedroom! Feeling some flashbacks? I hope so! Oh and the mesmerizing his prey! Wooohooo! We are up to something here. Basically, if Stoker could write about certain matters I bet he would let Dracula suck on something more than necks and this is what it would look like I guess. Fascination by the tyrant mixed with the lack of consent and some weird imagery. Yay!
Anyway, don't be fooled I wouldn't buy the sequel because our tragic heroine gets (SPOILER ALERT) turned into a kind of succubus by an "evil" vampire (obviously our sneaky vampire is just a lovesick puppy compared to the other one) and is given to a hungry pack of werewolves so we know what's in store for her. So I guess the next book is just another thirty pages of naked creatures and that's not what I'd like to read about. But I appreciate the sentiment of doing the story the stokerish way.

I feel that this was an intruging book and that it had a nice underly story line but the vulgar or crude way in which he posses Carroline in a sexual way may be a little overboard and a little too forward in my own opinion but other may think differently it's a shame, that there wasn't more of a storyline to the who killing his wife and finding her again, it was all a little sudden and it felt a little like the book was on fast forward. But none the less I found it a good and quick read to stimulate the senses and activate the imagination.

There were parts of the storyline that intrigued me, and I felt there could be a fantastic story in there somewhere. I found the writing sparse, scene changes were abrupt, little physical descriptions of environment or character. I agree with other reviewers that it was crude and vulgar at moments when it could have been seductive and alluring. This is not to say that I didn't enjoy the story and I may consider reading the rest of the trilogy just to see what happens, but I truly wish the author had taken more time to round out her characters and do some world building.

OK, I got this one as a free read. I really liked the story. I just wish it wasn't so short. I would like to get the next ones but not sure I want to pay the $2.99 price for such short reads. If it had been a full novel I could see paying more. And though I love the story line and characters just not sure I am willing to pay for such short reads.
