The plot is boring and predictable. The description of relationship between Rana and her grandfather gave me a creep. It's like between two old lovers instead of grandfather/granddaughter.
I would read this if I had no other books to read, but I would skip some of the story.
If you are a fan of vampire books, you're better off reading Laurell Hamilton/Tanya Huff/Sherrilyn Kenyon.

Ms. Michelle has penned a great Vampire Romatica story that was not only very sensual but had a storyline that was great fun. The characters of this story had great chemistry and Ms. Michelle managed to combine not only sensual love scenes but also humor in a story that is fasted paced. You will be loath to put this book down until the final page. I'm very careful about what vampire stories I read but I will be adding Ms. Michelle to my "must read" list immediately.

Lucian is a vampire that has been looking for the reincarnation of his love Elizabeth. He knows that he will find her it's only a matter of time, or is it? He begins to loose faith when he literally brushes up against a woman leaving a cemetery and he feels something for the first time in years.

Rana Sterling has just buried her beloved grandfather Jack. She is trying to come to terms with her loss when she comes across an antique dealer and finds an unusual ring that she feels compelled to buy. This purchase will change her life. Before she knows it she finds herself dreaming the most sensual and erotic dreams of her life. She can't believe it when she comes face to face with her dream lover. What she doesn't know is that her life is about to change in ways that she can't imagine but is fate going to take her away from Lucian before she realizes how much she cares for him?

This was a fast paced read that was not only humorous but also sensual. This was the first time I've ever read anything by Ms. Michelle but I look forward to picking her books up again in the future. I highly recommend Ms. Michelle you won't be disappointed.

I loved this book! I like my books explicit but if there's too much sex and not enough story, the book always falls short of my expectations. This book blends both perfectly. I connected with the hero, Lucian, AND the heroine, Rana. Lucian is one hot commodity--very sexy and appealing in a dark, broody way and Rana, after discovering that Lucian is a vampire, takes appropriate time getting on board with the idea. Lucian is very possessive, staking his claim on Rana, but never PUSHY. I like that ;+) Rana, the owner of a bookstore, is a sweet heroine--the kind of girl I'd like to call a friend. (If the heroine is a simpering ninny, I can never get past it to enjoy the story.) I like the little bit of spin on the vampire myths, also, and the supporting characters in the story are also very appealing (especially Duncan, the vampire twin of Ian--I hope he rates his own story IN PRINT soon!!) All in all, a great read--finished in two sittings and I immediately sought out all other printed books by the author, Patrice Michelle. For fans of vampire romance, this one is a must.

I am a die hard fan of christine feehan,maggie shayne,sherrilyn kenyon,Dara Joy & Nancy Gideon. This book is as good as any I have read by my favorites!!! I read this book in 1 night!! Full of erotic love scenes, vampire suck scenes, and on the edge of your chair suspense! If you are into erotic vampire love stories..this is it!! I plan on going back for a 2nd helping!

Still grieving over the death of her grandfather, Rana Sterling isn’t looking for a man in her life. But when she meets Lucian Trevane, the stranger that fills her dreams at night and the one that she can not stop thinking about, she doesn’t know if her feelings for him are for real or something to fill the void inside her from losing her grandfather.

Lucian has searched for his lost love for centuries. Now that he has found Rana, he vows never to let her go, she is his true life mate. On the verge of becoming the new leader for his people, a position he won’t accept without his mate by his side, danger surrounds Rana and he must protect her with his life.

Lucian must convince Rana to become his vampire wife before it is too late and she is taken from him again by another vampire seeking revenge against him.

This amazing story by Patrice Michelle knocked my socks off! Not only are we provided with a gorgeous, sexy as sin vampire who is looking to claim his lady, but we have striking secondary characters, danger, intrigue, a surprise twist [AWESOME TWIST] and sexual tension that threatens to drive the readers over the edge long before Lucian and Rana make love for the first time!

Patrice Michelle knows how to bring readers a seductive hero who is totally devoted to his woman, takes care of her every whim and loves her with all of his heart. Lucian Trevane is the male of all males, human or vampire. He believed that someday he would find the love that he lost centuries ago and never gave up. The love and devotion that he shows for Rana is enchanting, breathtaking and wonderful.

Ms. Michelle is definitely an author on the rise and one not to be missed. I personally look forward to more work from this amazing author who knows how to grab her readers attention from page one and to bring us characters that we will think about for a long time to come.

An erotic tale of love in it's perfect form - pure - in all directions of time.

Transcending all fear ...
Transcending all space ...
Transcending all that is considered forbidden.

A story that should be absorbed into the spirit, not merely read in haste. Patrice Michelle takes us on a journey into the lives of Lucian and Rana. She invites us to see into their soul to witness the strength of twin flames - a bond that nothing seen or unseen can ever sever. It is a reminder to look deeper - to feel deeper. That the outside form is only an illusion ... and what is there to fear in an illusion ?

A Taste for Passion

Will leave you smiling ...
Will leave you crying ...
Will leave you connected ...
... And begging for more.

A Taste for Passion brings us one of the best stories of this genre. With it's twists and turns you will find yourself pulled into this story of a age-old vampire and his human love, their trials and joys. An exceptional, erotic tale. I would highly recommend this book (and have) to many.

This was a great tale of love reunited with the twist that one of couple is a vampire. Lucien loses the woman he loves to a tragic accident before they can be married and he can convert her to a vampire, now 70 years later he finds her again. However the course of true love is never straight and if Lucien is not careful he could lose his love to death again. I thought A Taste for Passion was a wonderfully told, extremely erotic story.
I will definitly purchase more books by this author.

This book was wonderful! Emotional without being too sentimental. A must have.

A Vampire and a daring human. After years searching for his lost love she has finally been reincarnated into Rana Sterling. Their path to happiness is tested by evil and death; but still, in the end, they overcome it with a true belief in the power of love.

A Taste for Passion is up there with Christine Feehans vampire series I love tensions emotions and well what more can I say one of the best vampire books I have ever read with lots of erotic sensual moments..
