About the author

Darcy Sweet has a dirty secret—she has a head full of wicked stories.

She’s thinking of them in the line at the grocery store, at the library, in the bank and sitting in the car at a red light. At first she only shared them with her husband now she’s decided to share them with you.

She loves erotica and hopes that her stories make you hot and bothered. Her favorite erotica authors are Selena Kitt, Emma Holly, Michelle Houston, Portia Da Costa and because she’s partial to a Bromance, the very, very wicked Habu.

She has two epublished books with eXcessica publishing and two more coming out later this year.

Little more lady on lady loving than I was anticipating, nevertheless a decent book.

Urrghhh. I got suckered with this one! The sample was oh so tempting, so I clicked, as you do.
I didnt investigate the reviews or anything so I cant complain too much. The total girl on girl action was totally uninspiring, the constant use of the word "spurting and spurted" to describe the orgasm...ack..gag!!
It's a shame because I think the author writes quite well, and the story had the potential to be soooo much better than it was.

I liked this book. It was a very interesting vampire tale with a twist. This book starts off one way and takes a couple unexpected detours, that were a little out in left field. The ending was a kind of ho-hum, one of those ending that feel the author just decided to stop. Overall it's a good read, a little over two hundred pages that I finished in one setting.

This book is NOT worth the $7.00 price. The most I would have paid is $0.99. I have enjoyed other stories by this author but this story was terrible. Don't waste your time or money.
