Summary: What are these reviewers thinking? Don't bother...
Review: I got this book because of all the positive reviews. I love Vampire romances, but this book was so boring... There was NOTHING special about this book. It is that same-old-boring plot: Unattractive introverted girl meets man of her dreams... but, wait a moment, he turns out to be a vampire engaged in a power struggle with the other vampires in the area -- this "struggle" is over before it begins, the enemy is so weak it is not even slightly interesting. There is also this nonsense (which makes the book different, but not special) about reincarnation, a smelly ring (I kid you not), blue corvette, dead grandfather, guardian angels, returning from the death... not once, but twice... ZZZZZZZZZZZZ... Do not bother with this book. The sex scenes were also boring... straight sex with a sip of blood at the end. Not worth the money or the time (especially for such a SHORT book). For Vampire romance novels christine feehan and sherrilyn kenyon are far and away superior! At least their characters are dynamic and well-developed.

Review: I JUST LOVED THIS BOOK.ITS A KEEPER !!! I CAIN'T WAIT FOR IAN AND DUNCAN'S BOOK.

Summary: FANG-TASTIC SPICY VAMPIRE ROMANCE!
Review: 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.

Summary: A Great Vampire Romance!
Review: 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.

Summary: A wonderful erotic read.
Review: Shortly after the death of her grandfather, Rana takes a long drive. She goes to an antique store and purchases an unusual ring. Suddenly, her dreams of a dark, sexy stranger seem all too real. So, when Rana meets him in the bookstore that she owns, she senses she knows him.

Lucian's fiancée died seventy years ago, and he's been looking for her ever since. His sister tells him that someone special purchased his ring. Lucian knows the day has come for him to be reunited with his love.

While Lucian tries to get to know Rana better, he has a fight with another vampire on his hands. This rogue vampire and his clan are killing vampires and humans. Rana's dreams are getting more intense. Why is Lucian starring in her dreams? Should she get to know him better? Is Lucian correct in believing she is his mate?

A TASTE FOR PASSION is a wonderful read from new author Patrice Michelle. Lucian is a deeply erotic vampire, who exercises tremendous patience until Rana realizes her role in his life. Rana is a sensitive woman, whose loss of her grandfather, along with the newfound passions for a total stranger, makes her realize that getting to know this sexy stranger might change her life for good. I truly enjoyed the sexual tension, passion, drama, humor and intrigue in A TASTE FOR PASSION. Ms. Michelle's talent is amazing, and I am greatly looking forward to reading more from her.

Summary: Just a TASTE leaves readers wanting more...
Review: 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.

Summary: Hot Vampire Romance
Review: 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.
