Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Good Book!
Review: Obviously well-researched and a thoughtful treatment of vampires, dreams and family ties, with a good solid premise and an idea of what immortality must be like.

But still, I wanna read Adrian's story now.

Summary: De-Fanged Vampires? Save Me From Political Correctness!
Review: Okay, so we've got two gorgeous, identical twin brothers, both of whom are immortal and both who take their sustenance form humans. But are these regular vampires who take the blood of their victims? No, these guys enter other people's dreams (always females, of course), manipulate the dreams to give them an erotic content, and then skim off the person's excess "life force" - some sort of mystical hoodoo. Naturally, one twin longs for mortality while the other revels in his immortality. And, as you must have suspected by now, Twin A finds the woman who can make him mortal, while Twin B tries to do everything in his power to stop him.

See how quickly I told you the plot? It took the author 425 pages. Of course, Twin A never admits to the woman who is his salvation that he has a twin, so we have the whole mistaken identity scenario going on, not to mention the endless, boring dream sequences. (I don't think that I can forgive this author for the cliche of having one of her heroine's favorite fantasies being riding a wild horse on a beach.) The characters are poorly developed - we are given just bits and pieces of the heroine's past (the older sister who was driven to suicide by the loss of her lover, the cousin with the troubled past, the death of her parents), as if that should explain her rather unprofessional (she's a psychologist) and erratic behavior. I was sorely disappointed with this book.

Summary: I skimmed right through it!
Review: This book did not hold my interest very long. Not long after I started reading it, I began skipping through it. I would not under any circumstances buy this new. I traded my copy off as soon as I had the chance. This is not up to the standards of Ms.Krinard's work. I just didn't believe in the characters. I don't believe they really cared for one another. Sorry.

Summary: Perfectly sizzeling
Review: This book is a real page turnner. It had everything a good romance should have. Wonderfully written. It was my first book by Susan Kinard but definatly not one of the last. I recomend this book to anyone who enjoys romantic escape reading!!!

Rating: 1 stars
Summary: Prince of Dreams
Review: This book was horrid! I could not believe I wasted my time just trying to wade through half of it. I skipped entire pages of meandering dialogue and repetitive musings. I kept waiting for something, anything, to happen. I couldn't muster any compassion for any of the characters. I didn't even like the cover art. This book was a huge disappointment and doubt I will read any of the author's other books.

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: This is a scorcher!!!
Review: This is one of the best books I have ever read!! The way Susan Krinard pulls the reader in and never lets the tension ebb between Nick and Diana is sooo sexy, all the way to the end. These two are two of the hottest lovers ever!! I totally, totally recommend this book!!

Rating: 5 stars
Summary: Wow!
Review: This is one of the best novels I've read in a long time. It features the most original treatment of vampires that I can remember seeing (who ever would have thought of a vampire who feeds on dream essence? Well... OK, so at least one person thought of it....).

The story itself may be fascinating, with two vampires who are the last of their race, sibling rivalry, and a gutsy woman who gets caught in the middle, but it's also an absolute scorcher of a romance. Read this one wearing asbestos!

Oh, one last word of warning. You spend 9/10ths of the book loathing the villain, but.... Well, I'm not going to give away the ending. You want to find out, buy the book! It's worth it

Rating: 4 stars
Summary: A very pleasant read
Review: This was my first book of Ms. Krinard's, and I plan on keeping it! The storyline is good with Nicholas being more of an incubus than a vampire, but still, the idea that someone can enter your dreams and take nourishment off your "pleasure" is very intriguing. I have read one of her other books, loved it, and am now in the process of collecting her others. I can't wait to continue reading all her other books.
