Summary: Exactly what I expected from Mrs. Devine! SEX and lots of it
Review: I am already familiar with Thea Devine's past works, so I new what to expect. She's racy and good at what she does, writing erotic romance. So prudes be warned, this ain't your momma's romance novel.

Summary: [Bad] book, stupid plot
Review: I bought this book because it was compared with Anne Rice's work. This book is nowhere near the quality of book Anne Rice puts out. It's chapter after chapter of sex with a little plot that has a very speedy wrap-up (as though the writer couldn't come up with anything better). The plot seemed as though it was thrown in to try to make the book a little interesting while the sex was the main part of the story. I would never ever buy another book by this author. This book is not even worth the one star I was forced to vote but that was the lowest one I could give it.

Summary: Not what I expected
Review: I bought this book having read Thea Devine before and a few reviews online. I was lead to believe it would be a good sex story but also with a normal historical aspect to it (most of the times I buy more for the historical aspect). This book was hard for me even to finish and until about the last 50 pages I didn't care if I finished it at all. The sex was graphic but not romantic. I didn't like her vampire theme and the climax of the story (where good finally meets evil here) was just so lame.

Summary: No Plot
Review: I got this book thinking that it would be a fast paced, erotic romance. It was, but I had a hard time staying interested in it. We meet the heroine in a pub, essentially she is a stripper. She gets kidnapped, and put into a harem. Now there is a man that is supposed to be a spy, who gets kidnapped and made to be a "guest" at this same pasha's palace. When they meet, these two seem to be having sex all the time, in the most unusual circumstances. Which would be interesting, but I really didn't get the impression that they liked each other very much. They just liked having sex. The Vampire story line really didn't go anywhere either. It was like the author decided to just throw that in, for some added story line. I had a hard time finishing this book...

Summary: Great Sex and A Ridiculous Plot
Review: I love Thea Devine's eroticism in her novels. The sex is explicit, detailed, frequent, passionate and graphic. That's why I buy her books, being bored to tears by most romance novels... However, the plot here with its vampires and pashas was both absurd and boring. Give me a plot between two historical lovers we know -- King Charles II and Barbara Palmer Castlemaine, Mary Queen of Scots and the Earl of Bothwell; or even two lovers we don't -- but at least give us a scenario likely to happen in this century or the last !!! Thea Devine and Robin Schone and Beatrice Small definitely own the market of erotic romance, but the far out, otherworldly settings put a damper on this reader's enthusiasm.

Summary: This book was so STEAMY and HOT
Review: I really liked it. I love erotic fiction and this is one of the best. I did like the plot also. Yes, there are a lot of sex scenes,but that's what made the book what it is. Yes,some of the italics did bother me, but I got pass that. Very good book.

Summary: no one has mentioned the most important element!
Review: I'm very surprised to find that nowhere on this page does anyone -- Amazon, publisher or reviewer -- mention a very important aspect of this book: the vampires. This is a paranormal romance, and I'd expect it to be marketed as such. I don't care for that genre, and since I bought the book based on the description & the reviews, I was very, very disappointed to find that I'd bought a paranormal. Don't get me wrong -- there's nothing inherently wrong with paranormal romance & I know that many readers really enjoy such a story. But I don't, and I wish I'd been forewarned.

Summary: Keep your hard earned dollar!!!
Review: In how many ways can I warn unsuspecting readers away from this tripe, I'd certainly need more than 1000 words to convey the message that this is the most poor attempt at erotic fiction I have ever had the misfortune to read. I know we are not looking for realistic here but for the love of God if you are going to write about sex make it believable and PLEASE, their is something called a plot that you can add to the sex next time....
