Animal Heat

Vampyre Falls #1

by Adrianna Dane

Hot. Hard. Handsome. And dangerously ravenous—for Rainna Spaulding. Rainna knows there’s something different about Treynor Black and if she could just keep her hands off him for five seconds she might find out what it is. But five seconds in his company and she’s overwhelmed by the most intensely lustful, searing heat she could imagine, and common sense is not on the menu. So what if he likes his meat rare and his rendezvous at midnight during a full moon? She could handle it. He had secrets, well so did she. And then she meets his brothers, Carson and Donovan. Talk about turning up the heat to scorching! Who were these brothers?... Or maybe she should ask what were they?

About the author

Adrianna Dane (who also writes as Tess Maynard) has been putting pen to paper since the age of ten. She currently resides in the state of Washington and is a member of Romance Writers of America, EPIC. and Broaduniverse.

The first defining love story Adrianna read back in junior high school was "Wuthering Heights" by Emily Bronte, and that set her on the road to her long standing love affair with the romance genre. Her inspiration in writing often can be found by listening to song lyrics and reading poetry by such poets as Elizabeth Barrett Browning, Edgar Allen Poe, and Ranier Maria Rilke. But finding inspiration for her stories truly has no boundaries for Adrianna.

She freely admits she is a romantic by nature and adding sensual heat to romance with a dusting of suspense is her motto. "Esmerelda's Secret" released by Amber Quill Press in June of 2004 was Adrianna's first book, and with that story and her subsequent books has firmly established herself as a voice within the sensual/erotic romance genre.

Adrianna always looks forward to hearing from her readers and she may be contacted at adriannadane@yahoo.com. Find out more about her current releases as well as planned future releases and book signings by checking for updates at her website periodically.

[Adrianna · Rating 5 out of 5]

5 Hearts!! ...Adrianna Dane has written a scorcher that will curl the toes and have the reader running for a cold shower. Add to that, a really good plot that is unique and different, characters to care for and a menage a trois, a bit of voyeurism and a tad of exhibitionism thrown in for good measure and we have a story that any lover of shapeshifter romance will enjoy to the fullest. ... --Valerie, LoveRomancesandMore.com

4/5 Stars!! ...Vampyre Falls: Animal Heat is a terrifically sexy tale set in a modern day world that contains all the manner of paranormal creatures we have come to love... Ms. Dane does a great job of creating a believable world that contains the fantastic. Her characters are honest, engaging and appealing; as well as easy to empathize with. Secondary characters are intriguing and round out the story nicely. Her romance between Rianna and Trey starts off with fireworks and the heat level never dissipates, it just gets stronger and hotter! ... --Sandi Potterton, Just Erotic Romance Reviews

4 1/2 Lips!! Vampyre Falls: Animal Heat is a highly erotic story that had me fanning myself throughout the entire book. Rainna is a strong heroine who learns a few things about herself and does what she has to do for the man she loves... I hope Adrianna Dane turns this story into a series... --Julianne, TwoLips Reviews

4 Hearts!! ...This was a rather interesting story. It's full of hot, steamy, blood thumping sex and has a strong story line as well. ... The plot flows effortlessly from one page to the next. I like the idea of the Falls being a realistic sanctuary for paranormal beings. I recommend you pick this one up for a quick sexy read! --Lisa Freeman, The Romance Studio

4 Angels!! ...Vampyre Falls: Animal Heat is an extremely HOT, erotic short story! The passion is intense and the sex sizzling. The emotional connection between Treynor and Rainna is powerful.

For this review and more visit my blog

Animal Heat was a fast paced and sexy read but lacked a general sense of depth. I liked the beginning and thought I was on to a winner but the more it went on the more I disliked it. Erotica comes massively down to taste and this was not mine.

The issue comes from the fact that although the main characters were in love and in a relationship with each other she also had sex with the two other members of the werewolf pack and at one point was with all three of them at the same time. Good for her if that is what she likes but I am more of a one man kind of girl so I lost interest when it got to sharing time.

Another issue was the sex to plot ratio which leaned heavily towards sex. Simply put there was a lot of it so if you are looking for a little more substance then look elsewhere because this one will not be for you.

All in all I enjoyed the characters and the storyline but it was a little too crowded for my taste.

Read and Rate before joining Goodreads, so I have no idea what the story entails. Didn't bother to read the rest of the series too

[Zena · Rating 2 out of 5]

I liked the characters, but I think it's a little bit.. too much.

I want to know donovans and carson story though!

And I think people should give it a chance :)

nope nope nope. read two pages and quit I refuse a heroine with no self repect. "I can't resist him even though he never shows up for dates" pass that's not a good look chica
