VAMPIRES, MAFIA HOW COULD YOU GO WRONG
581501
A VAMPIRE FAMILY ENTANGLED AS A MAFIA FAMILY... I LOVE IT AND NOT TO MENTION A VAMPIRE FAMILY MEMBER THAT HAS CONVERTED TO A PRIEST.. IT HAS EVERYTHING TO MAKE AN EXCELLENT STORY. GREAT ART AND GREAT STORY PAIR UP TO A 5 STAR PROFORMANCE. THE BOOK IS DIGEST SIZE, BUT IT DOESN'T TAKE AWAY FROM THE BOOK.
THE STORY DOES HAVE ALOT OF PROFANITY AND NUDITY.
I WOULD RECOMMEND THIS BOOK TO MOBSTER LOVERS, VAMPIRE LOVERS, AND NOTE THAT IT IS FOR A MATURE AUDIENCE.

Blizzard also known as Gabriel was the sheriff but he once belonged to that gang and he is a wolf shifter. The gang is supposed to keep the peace between the vampires and the humans but other things have been happening in town which was disturbing that peace. For some reason the vampires want Val and her daughters and Gabriel is doing his best to protect them. While all this is going on Val and Gabriel are attracted to each other but both are fighting it. They both get bitten by vampires, will they survive?  What will happen to them now? Will Val and her girls be safe from the vampires? The story kept me reading  from beginning to end, I would recommend it to anyone. There is action, suspense, some family tensions, and hot sex in this story.

I was given and ARC of this book.

This book was a bit different from other vampire books I have read. The biker element had been done but NOT in THIS way! The Son's of Sangue are the embodiment of biker clubs. They take care of their own and and their territory. They are of the "love them and leave them, no woman is special" mentality. They have their own laws and their own way of dealing with rule and lawbreakers. Add in the vampiric element and you have an even stronger, tougher biker, who loves harder and deeper when he allows himself to fall. If someone threatens that love all hell is going to break loose.

That said we begin the book with the prologue introducing us to our characters 10 years ago when Cara Brahnam was a teen ready to go to college. The meeting left an impression on both of them!

Kane 'Viper' Tepes, the great grandson of Vlad III,  is the President of the Son's of Sangue MC. He rules the club with a strong hand and those who break their laws and puts their coven at risk of discovery is dealt with swiftly. He and the club keeps their business pretty clean, they enjoy staying on the right side of the law, meaning they have a deal going with the Sheriff. When women are being murdered in Pleasant,Viper becomes number 1 suspect, and the cop who is trying to pin the murders on him is none other than Clara Brahnam. The last time he seen her was 10 years before and she has been a burn in his pants since. He wants the little cop, always has. He just isn't sure he can behave himself as their laws dictate when he is with her.

Clara Brahnam last seen Viper with his pants down feeding on a willing donor. She has been in denial that vampires are real ever since and refuses to believe what she saw was real. She has always been hot for Viper even when he became her nightmare she still wanted him. Now that she is having to keep coming into contact with him it is becoming combustible. She is trying to figure out what happened to these dead women and who killed them. She isn't as sure as her partner is that Viper killed them.

When the actual murderer targets Clara, personal beliefs and feelings are put to the test.

I am completely hooked on Patricia A Rasey!! This book solidified my new found love of her writing! I can't get enough of the Sons of Sangue. It will be so hard waiting for the next installments of this series. The story is fresh and hot. I never got tired of reading. My only problem with the book was having to put it down! This is a definite read for any one who loves vampires.  These guys are far from our usual vampire reads. They aren't suave 'know exactly what to say ' men. They are foul mouthed, rude, pushy and they sure as heck don't sparkle in the sunlight!! Fantastic!!

Vampires. I trust you read "Nocturnal Urges."
Okay, what more do you need?
Great characters, settings, social issues - did I mention vampires?
(Not the bullcrap, teenage, chiche sparkly kind, either.)
Go read.

Each of these books are written by a different author and they each put their own unique twist into each plot and makes these vampires come to life. This book is a fast pace standalone story that will keep you on the edge of your chair from start to finish. This book is full of danger, suspense, action, humor, love of friends and family, romance, and love.
Winter is the baby-sister in a family that is chock full of slayers. This family is the type that do not trust vampires and think that they are simple evil creatures. Until her best friend's life is put in danger because of a debt that the friend racked up.....the vampire she owes money to has unfortunately come to collect his money. So Winter decides to help/save her friend by going undercover as a blood courtesan. It seems her assignment is the upcoming Charity Gala where the Blood Courtesans are being auctioned off to the highest bidders.
Ethen Rune is a billionaire vampire who highly values his solitude. It is well known that the Blood Courtesans fear him. Wonder why? Anyway, he decides to attend the Charity Gala for the purpose of business. He sees Winter and finds her unique. Bids and wins!
What happens after the Charity Gala? Will Winter go back home or continue on as a Blood Courtesan? Will something develops between them?  Read this amazing book to find out what happens. I received this book for an honest review.

This book was filled with lots of twists. The characters are damaged but find a way to heal. This book is great for all those who like mafia romances and seeing people come out of a dark place.

Very much enjoyed this book, even though Vampire stuff usually turns me right off. Fast paced, a thrill a minute, great sense of mystery, and a well developed plot.

Plenty could go wrong, as it turns out. Not the least of which is being one's own worst enemy. And even the 'nice' Fae are dangerous. An interesting series, one I have enjoyed.

I really enjoyed reading this one.  Vampires and lots of action and romance, the perfect recipe for a good vampire book.  Although I like vampires, my favorite characters were the two agents that kept having to get their memory wiped!  A great read, a new take on vampire covens, lifecycles, and function in a community.  These are all important as many writers have created different scenarios.  This one is a new one ultra secret service agents.  Hmmm....is the ultimate James Bond character in the future for this series?  I hope so!

Vampire romance fans will surely love this one.

This was a good read. I really enjoyed it. Give both books a try if you want to try something a little different from the normal witch, vamp, and werewolf lit out there right now.

What is not to love about a hot male vampire racing around in a Pagani?

Ettore Selvaggio (Savage) is a Breed  a vampire bred from the Ancient Sire. Needless to say, hes hot, deadly, and, as most vamps are, brooding in his heart of hearts for his lost love, Arabella (Bella) Genova. Its been ten years since they were parted, and during that time Savage has taken up with a group called The Order. The Order is the ruling entity of the vamps (theyre the good guys), based in Washington, D. C.

Savage finds himself outside Rome, in the middle of a covert operation to take down the Opus Nostrum (literally translated, Our Work) vampire terrorist organization. Opus Nostrum, headed by Vito Massioni, has been behind the distribution of a deadly street drug called Red Dragon, which, when ingested by vampires, turned them into base creatures  basically reverting the vamps back into bloodthirsty monsters.

About to detonate the explosion that will bring down the villa wherein Massioni and his cohorts are meeting, Savage recognizes a woman among  the terrorists its his Bella. What is she doing there, and can he save her from the Opus Nostrum? Does she even want to be saved? You know this vampire wants answers, and hes going to get them . . . .

Midnight Untamed by Lara Adrian is brought to us by the good people at 1001 Dark Nights, so it has to be quality material and it does not disappoint. A novella, Midnight Untamed is offering 17.5 in Adrians Midnight Breed vampire series, and it is a stand alone. This is the first Midnight Breed story Ive read but it will not be my last  the plot line grabbed me right off the bat (pun intended) and the characters are memorable. I confess I love a good vampire story, fangs and all, and these vamps are written within true vampire mythology but with some interesting twists.

Savage and Bellas storyline was predicable but it contained insanely hot vampire sex. (That alone sold me on this book.) As enjoyable as their story was, I found I was drawn even more to the promise of Scythe and Chiaras story. Kudos to author Adrian for introducing characters into this plot without leaving the reader feel smothered in introductions.

This is a very quick but satisfying read. If you are a fan of vampire erotica, I recommend Lara Adrians Midnight Untamed  you will not be disappointed!

The Mafia and a Vampire Brood cross paths when a strong, ancient vampire goes rouge. Even the FBI has to pick a side. Did you ever think Federal Agents would join forces with organized crime? I guess it depends on the common enemy. Believable history of the undead and good characterization. Loyalties change as bloody battles erupt with plenty of twists and turns to keep you guessing. Well-written and fast-paced. Where will your loyalties end up? Definitely worth the read!

another good vampire series. it is similar to the BDB so if you are fans of that series you will enjoy this one. I do hope to see more differences in this series that will set it apart from others. this book is a very good start to this series with a surprise villain at the end. looking forward to the next one.

I took a chance on this first book, read it and really enjoyed it's spin on the Vampire tales, a wife and mother and ex-FBI agent offered a different take and it really did.  I have read each one in the series and enjoyed them all.  If you like paranormal mysteries, I think you'll enjoy this entry.  Her kids put a new spin on the Vampire lonely existence.

Fun, light reads, the Love at Stake series is a nice mix of humor, action, drama, suspense and romance. The series focuses on vampires finding their love interests. The good vampires (who drink synthetic blood) fight the malcontents (bad vamps who take blood from humans). The series moves along quickly and is hard to put down. There are many laugh out loud funny moments. I enjoyed the characters and seeing them again in future books. The author did a nice job with world building with some original ideas like the vampire tv network, synthetic blood mixes, etc. She also does a good job making each book original -- vampire millionaire, clothing designer, reality tv show, etc.

If you like this style of book, also check out:
Pride Stories by Shelly Laurenston
Dragon Kin series by G.A. Aiken
Argeneau vampire series by Lynsay Sands
Vegas vampire series by Erin McCarthy
Dark Ones series and Aisley Gray series by Katie MacAlister
Laurenston/Aiken and Sands are my favorites in the humorous paranormal romance category, but the others are also very enjoyable. Happy reading!

Let me admit up front that I am not particularly a vampire fan and I'm also not particularly a fan of detective fiction.  So I was surprised and delighted at these books.  I wanted to read them books before watching the series on Lifetime so in spite of being a little dubious I read the first one.  What fun!!  Huff always seems to write really well rounded and fun characters that you'd like to meet and this book is no exception.  Vicki is terrific, Henry is a lot of fun (and although I understand why they made the change to graphic novelist for the TV show I find the idea of a vampire who writes romance novels much funnier), Tony is great(he only appears in the novels since he has his own series of books to possibly turn into shows someday!) and Mike... well... he really grows on me as the series progresses. :-)  Anyway - the characters are a delight and the plots are fun.  I particularly loved the book with the werewolves!
