DO you want to have a good time? Where do you go when you want to celebrate and have a fun night out, let’s go to Vamps! The trendiest and slightly Goth nightclub in the hidden warehouse district, Vamps! The music is eclectic with various shades of black attire. There is dancing, singing and sometimes live bands. Things just seem a little otherworldly.
Let’s go. The drinks have all fun names that seem to echo Edgar Allen Poe’s writings. There is a sign that states: Abandon all hope, ye who enter here.
This three-book set, Melt, is a great introduction to the slightly otherworldly Vamps nightclub. You never know who you might see or talk to when you are there. There may be vampires, shifters, witches, gargoyles, geeks and nerds, band members and lots of eclectic folks.
Be prepared to become interested in the lives of ordinary and not so ordinary characters.
Smolder: Nike has a stressful job as a firefighter. She meets a handsome guy at the gym and later sees him at a fun underground nightclub called Vamps. There is something different about Michel. Things heat up and the nightclub is on fire. Nike helps save people. What is Michel hiding and why?
Fire: Maya, a friend of Nike’s from the first book is also a firefighter. She wants to have some fun on Halloween and heads over to the newly remodeled and rebuilt Vamps. A girl just wants to dance away her stress. There is new management and owner. He is a handsome but sad. Tristan sees shadow auras around people until he meets Maya. She is a bright light. These two have immediate chemistry. Can they be right for each other?
Ignite: Ally and Lily are celebrating. They go to Vamps because they hear that the newest and trendiest band is playing, the Velvet Cocks. The handsome singer of the band buys them a bottle of champagne. They find out that the band is really a bunch of IT guys by day and alternative band members by night. Lily is intrigued by Nico, he quotes Annabelle Lee and appreciate that her real first name is Ligeia, from a Poe short story. Could these two be perfect for each other? Lily has a big secret. Can she trust Nico with her secret?
These books are all full-length novels. Immerse yourself in the Underground nightclub called Vamps. It is a fun and steamy journey.

Three heated stories in one set. The underground club is a meeting place for the normal and paranormal. The stories are hot, interesting, unforgettable. don't miss the chance to have all three. An example of the stories is:
IGNITE:
Maybe favorite of the series! I loved this story. Who would think an IT geek as a hot rocker dude? She's a bit of a geek herself and not a club-hopping-hottie. The hottie fits. She's a loner because she has a big secret. One she can't share. She doesn't even understand about it herself. Something about Lily draws Nico. He's been known to take advantage of his rockstar chick magnetism, yet it has lost its shine until Lily. Just his luck, she's not interested. Or is she?
While she gave him a cold shoulder, she can't stop thinking about him. Then they meet again. This time ... it's cute so you need to read about it. Let's just say that cold shoulder is gonna heat up just fine.
Lily agrees to a sex-only meeting only with no future ahead for them. He'll take what he can get, hoping to change her mind. Will he?
Both characters are interesting and not your typical PNR relationship. I thoroughly enjoyed their romp, was just as frustrated as Nico with her secret. Vamp has another great couple to bring together.
You'll need a fan and iced drink for this one. A strong recommendation from me. For this one and all three stories.

First three books in an awesome series. Exciting stories with a lot of heart and heat. Each story has its own alpha male and female. Along with extras and lots of enjoyment. Everyone carries baggage with them and so do these. I highly recommend it. I was given a review copy by booksprout and voluntarily review it.
December 6, 2018
This is a great box set that includes three PNR reads. These well written dramatic and emotional stories feature engaging plots, vampires, shifters, witches, rock stars, magic, heat and heart. Great chemistry between the characters help to quickly pull you into these reads. If you enjoy PNR reads, or just like books that are sure to move you emotionally, be sure to grab this amazing set. This is my truthful review that I am posting by my own choice.

Smolder-Michel is a vampire and he has a desire to be with a young woman that works out at his rock climbing gym and dances at his club Vamps. Nike is a firefighter and she and her friend Maya like to party when they get time off work. This night is the night that she will finally get her wish because Michel actually speaks to her at the club and wants to spend time with her she explained to her friend that she wanted to spend time with Michel but was not sure Maya told her to go for it she goes to Michel's office and they talk and kiss and just when you think the inevitable will happen a blast occurs and throws Nike for a loop but she pushes forward. Things happen that she never expected and changes her life forever but Michel is there for her. Great storyline as well as great characters. hel is there for her. Great storyline as well as great characters.
Fire- Maya and Tristan meet at her return to the club after the fire, now Tristan is the new owner and Maya is more than taken with the sexy man in the black cape . What she is about to find out is that Tristan is a witch and he sees things in people and the light he saw around her just attracted him in a way he never thought possible. They find that they are very much interested in getting to know each other better, things move pretty fast for them but it is all good. Great Storyline here and the characters are great.
Ignite- Lily and Nico start off playing games in the winter at Vamps and then meet again in the spring in a book store then they seem to hit it off better this time and they really get close and she finds that she like the rock singe/computer geek. This one is just as hot as the first two books. I was given a copy as a gift from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.

Smolder Nike and Michael
A girl just wants to have fun from her everyday life is it too much to ask? Michael is a vamp living in the human world were most don’t know what he is.
He has starred in many of Nike fantasies but she has yet to make the personal connection the one night that all changes.
These characters have pretty good potential to make this story a very interesting read and I was not disappointed.
Fire Tristan and Mya
This story takes place after the fire at Vamps and the club is under new ownership. Tristan is the owner of the club who tends to avoid people as he body is drain by the darkness that surrounds people until one night he sees a woman with light surrounding her. He is intrigued enough to want to know who she is.
Maya is out looking to have some fun little did she know that her world would never be the same.
Ignite Lily and Nico
Talk about reading books out of order this seems to be something I do on a regular basis now.
With this book we are introduced to Lily and Nico. Lets just say they both have something to hide.
Can a relationship be built on secrets? Keep reading to find out.
All three stories are revised from the original books and expanded.

MELT (Underground Encounters books 1-3) by Lisa Carlisle is a Contemporary, New Adult, Gothic, Paranormal Romance. A great box set of three steamy romances with shifters, vampires, and witches. Book 1: SMOLDER (a vampire / firefighter romance), Book 2: FIRE (a witch / firefighter romance), Book 3: IGNITE (a feline shifter / rock star romance). Well-written, good storylines/plots, and steamy chemistry. Loved all three and can't wait to read more. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

I read ignite as a stand alone so when I had the oppertunity to read the next two books I jumped at it. The stories are simply amazing, drawing you into a night life of the paranormal. Each book is stand alone with a bit of adventure and melt worthy steam, a delicious mix that will keep you glued to the pages.

Steamy paranormal romance
I just loved this box set. Each book has a different plot and different obstacles to overcome to find the HEA. There are humans, vampires, witches, and shifters all finding romance when they weren't looking or wanting a significant other. Can they work through the challenges and find love? I highly recommend this book series.

This flection centers around an underground club staying with shifters. I found it entertaining and sexy. Each couple had issues of their own to overcome as they sought out their Happily Ever Afters.

Sexy, angsty, and fun
I stumbled upon this series and thought it looked like a fun read, and it was. There is a lot of a shy and some danger, but there’s also light-hearted flirting and fun together with steamy sex. A good balance and definitely a fun read.
