The Flames of Vampire Passion Are Blazing Hot


After The Decrees, I poured all my fears and anxieties about the entire ordeal into a novel. To my dismay, that book garnered more sales and accolades than any other I’d written. I decided to put my pen away, while I worked through my recovery.

After my sabbatical, I think I’m ready, and I want to return to my writing.

I’ll be honest. I’m nervous, but Zane’s sure I can pick it back up with no problems. I wish I had as much confidence in me as he does. He still loves me with the same fire and passion as the night we met, and I wouldn’t give him up for anything.

But if someone gets their way, I may not have a choice, because I’ve been placed on list of vampires to be killed! I have no idea who they are or why they want me dead! What did I ever do but write romance and love my husband? I’ve never hurt anyone except to try to save Zane during that horrific event years ago.

Zane’s determined to find whoever is behind this and eradicate them or anyone else attempting to end our love.

On top of all that, Chris, my ex, has partnered with my mother in trying to get us back together, which is bringing all my emotions over the way he treated me in the past to the surface.

Don’t I have enough to deal with already, without them trying to break up my marriage?


London doesn’t have anything to worry about, as far as her writing. She’s talented, and she needs get back to what she loves most... other than me, of course. I’ve given her enough inspiration to fill at least a dozen books.

What concerns me is blatant violence at my very doorstep. I could not believe someone dared come to my home and attack my wife!

After The Decrees, there should be no question as to how I would deal with any potential or real threat. But either ignoring all that, or thinking they could best me in battle, they attempted to murder London right in front of me!

Was someone trying to take vengeance on me for a sentence I’d dealt during The Decrees? If so, why wait years to attack? Could someone in my inner circle of trusted friends have been the culprit?

If they thought I was going to consider the threat brought to my door as anything other than a declaration of war, they were mistaken.

I was determined to return the fight… and win!

Zane, Flames of Vampire Passion Series, Book Three, contains steaming, wickedly hot scenes of vivid intimacy, laugh out loud humor, and depth of heartfelt connection and real emotion between Zane and London.

This is a work of fiction and is meant for an adult audience.

Zane inferno book 3 in the flames of vampire passion series dose not disappoint. London and Zane started to move on and live their lives after the Explosive Decrees. London has lost confidence in writing a new book & Zane is trying to boost her confidence and be supportive by taking her to a book store and letting her buy every self help book she thinks she needs. If only that was there biggest problem, London runs into her ex from college Chris; the man that crushed her heart and he wants her back. Out of the blue there was an a attack at their house targeting London and you will be surprised who is behind this and what they are trying to accomplish. We find out more about Jen and her connection with Zane and Reese and what kind of Knight Zane was and how and why Reese changed him. There are so many twist and turns in this story, plus hot hot interaction between Zane and London. I love this series and all the characters connected to the stories. I know they all have a lot more to say. Thank you Elaine for sharing your talent and stories.

totally enjoyed Zane: The Inferno. Zane lives to protect and love London eternally. His love for her is so great that he puts himself in danger for her. Being an old vampire he is powerful and had overcome do much.
I love how Zane collects his trophies. He is amusing, romantic, fierce and and Louise son in law. Ha ha.
Someone is trying to kill London and Zane. Zane has agreed to rule over the decree again in order to find the assassin.
Will Zane find the assassins before they find London?
Ms Elaine Barrie continues to entertain us with Zane. I cannot wait for her next one.
I would totally recommend this book to all my friends

Zane is sexy and deadly.

This is book 3 in the Flames of Vampire Passion series which features the seductive Zane and his Temptress London and is aptly named Inferno as the pages are hot!

The story is the continuation of their lives together, they have recovered from the traumatic Decrees and life has been running smoothly until now - there's new danger about and there is still that interfering mother in law from hell to contend with.

The pages turn almost themselves and Zane is as dangerous as he is seductive, he will protect his London at all costs.

If you love Vampires and erotic storylines you will love this series, I would start at book 1 to get the most from this series.

I read an arc of this book and voluntarily left this review.

Sexy, sinful romance with the right kind of bite!

A lot has happened since the decrees, Zane and London are happy! London is itching to write again, Zane is more than willing to provide inspiration.
But London finds herself on a vampire hit list! Let's say Zane is NOT impressed.
With the Vampires on the hunt, London and Zane also have to deal with the Horrible humans aka Louise yes Londons nasty bitchy mother and she has some help, help from Chris (Londons EX). No spoilers I'll leave it up to the reader to find out just what happens.

Ms Barris certainly has a way with words, not only the erotic nature of the story she's telling but the feel of each word and how you become drawn into the story and live it yourself, a few OMG moments ( good OMG moments) that keep me captivated and intrigued as to what was coming next.

Ms Barris doesn't disappoint in producing yet another fabulous erotic novel with amazing characters that you'll fall in love with, An intriguing and Steamy storyline to not only keep you in suspense but thoroughly entertained from cover to cover.

This is the 3rd book in the Flames of Vampire Passion series and it’s an absolutely fantastic read. I’m a big fan of Elaine Barris’s books and she’s in my top 5 favourite authors and her vampire stories are just the best so if you haven’t read anything from Elaine Barris ( highly doubtful) then this series is a great start and who doesn’t like sexy vampire stories?. Someone is out to kill Zane and London so Zane takes over the Decrees again to fish out the assasin. There’s so much in this story to keep you entertained and turning the pages, I also had a really good chuckle with what the characters were saying it was so funny. I love that you can have a laugh with a story and Elaine has a great sense of humour, if you don’t get this book then you are missing out yes people it’s that good so much so that this whole series is on my to read again shelf. A 5 plus ++++ ⭐️ read and I highly recommend this book it’s definitely well worth the read.

OH MY GOODNESS!!!!
This book was an EXCEPTIONAL book!! I just can't get enough of ZANE!!
Zane 3 had me up reading in one night!! I didn't think that this series was going to get any better, but oh boy was I wrong!!! It was everything and more!! I love Zane 1 & 2 but this book she hit it out of the park.

I love this series. I love that this book can make me laugh out loud, wake my husband up at 3 in the morning so he can listen to what was so great. Not to many books or authors can do that and not to many authors will my husband get up to listen to what I have to say especially Zane.

London and Zane's love has just gotten stronger, better and hotter!! WOW!! Very HOT!!

I wish I could write all the hot, juicy and erotic scenes then I would write almost half or more of the book. Plus, I can not give any spoilers, so the only thing you must do is BUY this book!! It's a DELICIOUS read!!!

London and Zane are back. London's book was supposed to be cathartic but became such a monster seller that she has lost confidence in herself and her writing.

Zane wants London to be happy and wants to bolster her flagging confidence, even if it means buying every hippy dippy self help book he can find.

But a run in with the ex from hell, Chris, leads to an attack on their home and on London in particular. Be prepared for some whiplash when you realise who the big bad is! Lots of back story filled in between Jen, Reese and Zane. Lots of twists, turns and downright stumpers to keep your brain active and engaged with the characters. London and Zame may have been together for a while but the passion still burns incandescent hot between them!

An extremely hot and intense vampire romance. This is the third book in the series about Zane and London. Even though they have been together for a few years the scenes in the bedroom and elsewhere just seem to get hotter. The two are perfect for each. But some people/vampires just can’t leave them alone. As soon as they relax, death comes look for them. But Zane will protect her always.

If you love PNR with a lot of steam and an intense storyline, then read this series. Highly suggest to read in order. And should only be read by mature readers.

I voluntarily read and reviewed a copy of the book.

This book is very well written and did keep my interest the entire way through. The only reason this book did not get 5 stars is because London really made me mad. It was like she was a different person. She was rude to people close to her, weak to exes and she dressed like a slob. Where is the London that wore beautiful clothes and sexy heels? There were parts of the story that I just didn't want to hear from London. Of course Zane was still hot as ever.

Absolutely fanatical about his London. They love each other to distraction. There never seems to be any peace for them though.

Someone is out to get London and no one seems to know who.

This one is a calmer read than the others, but let me tell you when Zane figures out what and who, the Decrees had nothing on his justice this time around!

What I have  to say about this book is that it is awesome. I know in Vampire years London and Zane haven't been together that long but in human years they have. I could still feel the love they had for each other coming off the pages that Elaine wrote.
The way Zane dotes on London is beautiful. The alpha that comes out when she is in danger is so delicious.
Steam factor  10 stars.

It's been sometime since London has written anything more than a note to Zane. She's a little nervous but ready to pick up her pen and write again.
There's no shortage of material. Zane provides her with enough for a series of erotic romance stories. However, London has been put on a list of vampires to be killed! Could this be some kind of backlash from the Decress? Is this retaliation on Zane? The answer to this question comes right out of left field.... Then as if this isn't enough to deal with, Louise, her mother has teamed up with Chris (her ex) to get them back together..... but there is something yet in store for Louise.
I've just got to tell you it's non stop with humorous moments, erotic and deliciously soul deep romance, and the fierce will that is Zane. He is about to seriously rock your world ... again!

These two are so HOT!!! Zane and London have been through the wringer since the first book in this series and after the Decrees (book 2) I thought it would be smooth sailing. But where would be the fun in that?! Just when things are starting to get back to normal for these two more trouble finds them.

While I enjoyed the new element of danger in this book what I really loved was the chemistry between Zane and London. It's nice to see that the passion and heat hasn't diminished as the series moves along. I can't wait to see what Elaine Barris has in store for these two next :)

     What is it that I can say that I haven't said before, this book was phenomenal. The series is Fan-Freaking-Tastic. It could be a stand-alone but I say no you need to read the 1st two books if you don't you don't know what's going on and who everyone is to each other, still it's HEA. I seriously think that you should read this series.
     London Beckley Thornton is a Vampire who has chosen her life to be forever with Zane, she loves him with all her heart and soul. Life is grand and everything around them is magnificent, there intimacy is wickedly explosive. Life is great for both of them, but did the Decree bring out the vileness of others? Can happiness come tumbling down on top of them? Can Zane her loving lustful Vampire who loves her, save her or will they perish in the fires of vengeance.
