Bewitching Love Stories [Paperback]

Vanquish the Night - Shannon Drake 4*
Colonel Michael Johnston, famed war hero and Indian fighter felt the evil coming into the night on the cool breeze, but never imagined it would be a fight for the very survival of the woman he loved.
Anne Pemberton was a descendant from a very strong woman, one who committed suicide rather than live with evil. The very handsome and enigmatic, David Drago had searched for centuries to find Anne, the one woman he would take for his bride to live in the darkness and evil that was his domain. It took all the faith and love Anne and Michael had for each other to face down and destroy the vampire - proving that love and faith could conquer evil.
This was a very fast and sensually written read with this time, a very bad type vampire! Good story.

My Aunt Grizelda by Kasey Michaels 4*
I really liked this story which kind of reminded me of Cinderella and gave me visions of the very inept and bumbling witch from the TV series Bewitched . Do you remember Aunt Clara? As you read this delightful story - Aunt Clara is pictured quite vividly in my imagination. The sensuality is minimal in this story of the governess who falls happily in love with the Earl, but the laughs are numerous. Ms. Michaels witty dialog is delightful and this story is quite like reading a fairytale. But I do believe in magic and fairytales so - Yes - I liked it!

What Dreams May Come - Christina Skye 5*
Re-enter the ethereally beautiful world of Draycott Abbey, where Adrian Draycott, the resident ghost and caretaker resides with his ever faithful companion, Gideon. Once more, Adrian has been awakened with feelings of danger in the wind. He is feeling depressed, ever since he had helped his brother (in one of his many incarnations) find his way back to loving his reincarnated soul mate. With Nicholas and K.C. on their honeymoon, he is really annoyed that a woman has entered his precious Abbey. More annoying is the fact that without trying, his ghostly being has become quite real, flesh and blood! And, this woman has aroused in him feelings in his, shall we say, man-parts, that haven't been aroused in centuries!

Who is this woman, Gray Mackenzie? Why can she see him, and touch him and arouse him to such a fever? What is the secret she hides, and why can he not remember who she is? In this very, very sensual offering from Ms. Skye you are in for the treat of your life as you experience a most ghostly affair! Dynamite love scenes that will curl your toes! And of course, there is Adrian, my own personal dream of who I'd like to haunt me! Super read.

Devil's Keep written by Rebecca Brandewyne is a KEEPER! Count Drogo von Reicher places an ad in the London Times seeking a governess for his young son. Lenore Blakeley's ravishing beauty and gentleness immediately places her in danger. She arouses dark, sinister desires in her mysterious employer who is no man at all but a vampire.

The love scenes in this story are positively scourching!! They are hot enough to keep you warm even in sub zero temperatures. Grab a copy and enjoy!!

Shannon Drake's Vanquish The Night was another great read. David Drago is a vampire who has searched hundreds of years for his lost love, Anne Pemberton. He is not noble or gentle. He is ruthless and . . . evil. He intends to have Anne and will allow nothing or no one to stop him. Anne has encountered this vampire long ago in another life. She escaped him through death but this time David Drago is very determined to claim Anne for his own. He will not allow her to seek death.

This story was incredible. The menace, danger and suspense kept the pages turning until the very last. A Keeper!

Kasey Michael's My Aunt Grizelda was another good read. The romantic dreams of a lovely, poor nanny are made true by a well-meaning witch. Sweet story.

Lastly, is Christina Skye's What Dreams May Come. An artist risks her sanity and her heart while encountering a ghostly protector. Great story that will renew your faith in love.

Enjoy!!
