Simone Moriarty struggles with the knowledge that she is damned. Her trust in a debonair southern gentleman did not go as planned. Now she is one of them—the undead things that prowl the night in search of easy prey. She refuses to allow anyone to love her. Not even dear, sweet Peter who craves the discipline only she can offer him. Not even Gareth, a vampire who follows her across America after swearing he loves her.
Gareth Cross frantically works to end a power-hungry vampire’s plan to seize power over all vampires. If Malachi wins and Gareth loses, all of mankind will perish. Gareth’s path crosses Simone’s in Richmond minutes after she is nearly killed by one of his kindred. He cannot get her out of his mind. Until a demanding runway model high on cocaine seduces him. Before he can make things right, Simone has vanished in the most horrific way possible.
Will Gareth be able to find Simone and convince her of his love? Or will she refuse and damn vampires to a fate worse than death?
Simone is book one of the Vampire Passions duet. It is a slow-burn paranormal romance with plenty of steam, passion, and betrayal. It ends on a cliffhanger, so be warned. This isn’t your tween’s Twilight. Are you ready to meet Gareth and Simone?
A.R. Ford is a proud life-long resident of the Appalachian Mountains where she lives with her husband and two adorable fur babies who round out their family.
She swears by the advice that it is never too late to start working on that bucket list of self-fulfilling goals. Ms. Ford is an avid reader, book reviewer, and author with a flair for dark, twisted stories that do not always end in a happy ever after.
—>>> Simone’s life is forever changed in a dirty alley, at the hands of a monster of such notions she could not even begin to perceive. Now, by creed of an ancient tome entitled the Elder Council’s Grimoire, Simone’s new existence may have been fashioned at the hands of one vampire intent on using her as a pawn for power, for glory. This story lives up to its promises of delivering steam, passion, and betrayal - looking forward to reading what is next in store for Gareth and Simone!
This was such a good book! 😁 Loved the characters of Simone and Gareth. The chemistry between them is sizzling and its great to see strong characters who compromise for each other. It's also interesting to find out the back story as to how and why Simone became a vampire and what a union with Gareth could achieve. Can't wait for the next book in this series!! 😁
I received a copy for an honest review. Simone was a victim from the start. She takes her revenge on the animal that left her for dead. She has a hard time finding what she really wants. Does she want the man who worships her, or the man that is sexy and exciting? She struggles to sort through life and find out who is true to her.
I thought this was a great book. The story pulled me in from the start and the characters are well developed. This is a well written story and hard to put down. If you love vampires then you will love this book. I highly recommend reading.
