Product Description
From Library Journal
While contemplating marriage in a desperate effort to regain mortal status, the reclusive vampire Nicholas St. Vire wins the hand of the lovely, innocent Leonore Farleigh from her dissolute father in a game of cards-and suddenly realizes he has found a woman who might make living worthwhile. A likable heroine, an intriguing hero, and nicely handled sexual tension more than make up for the two-dimensional "other woman" and an ending that just misses being melodramatic. This Regency vampire is a good example of genre-blending. Readers of Harbaugh's work (The Devil's Bargain, Signet, 1995) might also enjoy novels by Carla Kelly and Mary Chase Comstock. [Harbaugh lives in Auburn, Wash.]

wonderful twist on vampire romance.,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vampire Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)
When the lovely Leonore Farleigh finds herself sold in marriage to the illusive Nicholas St. Vire to pay for her fathers gambling debts; she expects the man to be lecherous and old, wanting to take her to wife for the sole purpose of having an heir. What she doesn't expect is a man so handsome he takes her breath away with his silky chestnut hair and eyes so green they rival the leaves on the trees and a voice so soft, so hypnotic and deep she finds herself longing to be his wife in every way. What is it about this strange man that makes her long to be near him always? Why does he never appear in the day? Leonore begins to suspect that he is ill and fears that she will not have much time with him which saddens her greatly, for she has fallen hoplessly in love with the enigmatic lord. All Nicholas wanted was a innocent wife, a virgin to help him carry out his plan. Love did not enter into it. The marriage need only last one year and if all went well, he would be free of the curse that had haunted him for 60 years. 60 years in which he had seen many of his friends age and die while he remained forever young. What Nicholas didn't expect was that Leonore would entrance him as no woman ever had. Leonore, with her Lovely blonde hair, exquisite figure, elfin face, and soft grey eyes. He finds himself needing her in more ways than one. He began to wonder, to hope, Could he have it all? the life he had lost so long ago, the love of a beautiful woman, to once again feel sunlight on his face? But when Mercia, the evil woman who was the cause of all his torment returns--he begins to think that he might have to sacrafice it all for the love of Leonore; because if Mercia had a say in it, Nicholas would never be free...

A brilliant book by a rising star!,

This review is from: Vampire Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)
I love all Karen Harbaugh's books, but this is my very favorite. The hero is fascinating, the heroine strong and his equal. The paranormal elements are superbly done. So well so that fans of paranormal and fans of Regency alike will find this book a Must Read.If you haven't read Karen Harbaugh yet, you'll be glad you did when you get your hands on this great book!

IF YOU LIKE HARLEQUINS...,
By A Customer
This review is from: Vampire Viscount (Mass Market Paperback)
For a vampire afficianado, this book offers very little. It's not bad as a romantic novel, though. For a serious, feminist vampirologist such as myself, this book is disappointing especially for its stereotypical fe/male roles and attitudes.
