Only by accepting her new-found immortality, seizing the night, will Alyssa hope to survive. She and Lysander must fight together against two sets of enemies bent on destroying them both.



My review:

Sexual-
Immortalis Carpe Noctem is a great mix of Urban Fantasy, romance and Dark Fantasy. It’s very hard for me to enjoy reading a UF book with me being a true romance reader, but this story I really enjoyed and I am looking forward to reading the next book. Be warned this story has some scenes are brutal. You get murder, rape and these vamps kills their human blood host innocent or not. I liked the way this story is written in Alyssa POV you get to really know her.

Alyssa is waking home alone when a man stops her and asks a question, as Alyssa answers she has no clue that the turn of events to come next would change her life forever. She has a hard time coping with her new life even with her savior Lysander teaching her and helping her all he can. You find Alyssa is stubborn and whines a lot. Then again I guess I would whine too, if I had to go thorough what Alyssa did.

Lysander is very protective with Alyssa and as you read you’ll find out it’s not only because he is the one that turned her. Lysander is very lonely and is in need of someone like Alyssa to keep him on his toes.

I recommend this book to UF readers that doesn't mind a good sex scene and romance readers that likes reading some on the dark side

Book two is Immortalis Hunters & Pray

I love a quick and heated romance story, especially when it involves a hot vampire. With this story being so short I don’t want to give out much. Conner is a slave in House of Immortal Pleasures. He did something bad in his past and now his sentence is up, but will he be able to please his master this night so he can go free.

Few spoilers
Daphne has two friends that thinks she needs a new start. They take her to The House of Immortal Pleasures to give her just that. Daphne really can careless about a man epically after what her EX did to her. She now relies on her trust old B.O.B toy. So you know when Daphne see they took her to a vampire brothel she does not want to go in one bit.

When Conner meets Daphne he learns she wants no part of this. He also knows he has to seduce her just like all the rest of the women to win his freedom. As he sets out to do just that things start to change for them both.

I really liked connection between the hero and heroine that the author gives you and then she topped it with sizzling hot vampire sex. I cant wait for more of these erotic short stories to come
