Breaking down her emotional barriers and prejudice toward vampires ? Read the novel ! A spine-tingling Erotic Romance, with an adventureous story of revenge that keeps you on the edge of your seat. Author Patrice Michelle, weaves a complex society of vampires that are engrossing. Inventive scenes of intimacy as well !

I am not a reader of Romance novels. As a consumer, I read many things including, Vampire fiction for entertainment, and recently, Vampire Erotica (which appears to be a genre that is really gaining momentum).

One thing I can say with enthusiasm; author Patrice Michelle has created a very distinctive and nuanced race of vampires for her fiction series. The Kendrian's, have several tribes within their race, each tribe possessing unique variations of inherent ability. Patrice Michelle crafts wonderful characters which, completely draw you into her stories. All are memorable. My only real complaint : the author tends to describe "popular" music in detail, which was a mood breaker for me. I would have preferred
that she merely suggest it. Not all of us care for the same music.

That said, I enjoyed "A Taste for Revenge" the best. Though, I think it would be a true shame to read just one book in the series, all are enjoyable to read, each offer something different. Call me a purist, I like a healthy dose of erotica in my "Vampire Erotica" ! The series is billed as "Erotic Romance", so one does expect a healthy dose of graphic sexual content ! In the first book, "A Taste for Passion", we are introduced to the character of Ian and his brother Duncan. The third book, "A Taste for Control" is all about Ian's twin Duncan (and has cameos from the characters in the previous books). "A Taste for Control" is quite an epic of fiction for an erotic romance, the erotica is absorbing but becomes a little lost along the way. "A Taste for Revenge" had the most cohesive blend of passionate erotica with an action-packed plot, neither element outdoing the other. The other books became more drawn out in the romantic characters hesitation for each other and a bit lighter on gratification, which became frustrating for me. It is odd how things work out. I thought that a book about a vampire hunter would be my least favorite ! Do buy them all though, today !!!

P.S. Patrice Michelle, I can't wait for more books in the series !

I rather impulsively bought all three titles in this series, and am loving them. I found this one to be better than the first, and I can't wait to read the third. The sex is hot, the connections between the characters strong, and is everything I want in my vampire romances. I'll be watching this author, and indeed, have begun to check out more Ellora's Cave releases, since I think I have found a new obsession. Very glad I purchased these.

I thought that A Taste For Passion was wonderful but A Taste for Revenge is even better! The characters are beautifully drawn and the story grips you from page one. A Taste For Revenge and it's prequel (A Taste For Passion) have made Patrice Michelle a "must buy" author!
