Summary: Great Start to a Great Series
Review: Erin moves to Pine Forest, taking a job as the town's new librarian. She's told that strange happenings are commonplace since Pine Forest has more supernatural activity than any other town in the country. Erin meets Vampire Hunter Lachlan and is immediately attracted to him.

Lachlan's telepathic ability allows him to communicate with Erin on an emotional level. Their relationship moves fast but is also very deep due to the telepathic connection.

Agnew creates an intensely erotic and suspenseful tale. She weaves a world where vampires have free will and may choose to align themselves with either good or evil. Her attention to detail makes for a rich experience for the reader. You won't be disappointed.

Summary: strong erotic vampire romance
Review: Needing freedom from the overwhelming expectations of her parents, Erin Greenway moves from Arizona to Pine Forest, Colorado, to become a librarian in the small town described to her by her best friend, who insists most locals believe in ghosts. Since it is Halloween, Erin and another librarian decorate the library for a children's spooky story hour. As she arrives at the library, Erin hears eerie noises and smells a nasty odor. She is thinking of yesterday's assault on a woman when the voices enter her mind. One sounds threatening while the other seems protectively sexy.

Visiting Scot Lachlan Tavish is in town hunting the Ancient Vampire, who killed his parents and left him for dead. Lachlan believes that the vampire has staked out Erin and he plans to keep her safe though she distrusts his motives. Still, neither can resist the passion between them and soon make love. However, the malevolent blood sucker is coming for both of them and love is not a good emotion to have when one needs logic, and rational thought, items that have abandoned Erin and Lachlan.

Fans of erotic vampire romances will gain great pleasure from Denise Agnew's fantastic DEEP IN THE NIGHT: DARK FIRE. The story line is action-packed as readers anticipate a powerful final confrontation, but also is filled with an ardent romance so that the audience receives additional pleasure from the cleverly designed plot pulling in two directions. Erin and Lachlan are a delightful couple regardless of which vernacular they use and the villain is as vile a foe as one can imagine. Halloween is rarely as good as this tale is.
