"Entertaing story taking the impossible and making it real"
The enemy tortures Colonel Willem Stone to provide them the
names of the American spies inside their training camp.
Will denies there are any, insisting technology enables the
United States to know their plans. When the pain becomes
too hard to consciously handle, his mind vanishes into some
other place so that he will not reveal the names of the
thirteen people working undercover for America. This place
inside his mind looks like an ancient world consisting of
Gypsies and vampires. One Gypsy has his full attention as
Sarafina is so full of life, but she is changed into a
vampire in front of his eyes. Not long afterward, Will regains consciousness in a
hospital, but the memories of Sarafina seem so real to him
and where he dredged it up from is outside his
understanding, but he assumes it is a fantasy. That belief
ends when he meets Sarafina and quickly falls in love with
her. However, though she loves him too, she does not trust
him because he failed her twice as her guardian spirit and
she refuses to take strike three especially when he spends
an inordinate time protecting the child who may prove the
savior or destruction of her kind. EMBRACE THE TWILIGHT is the typical Maggie Shayne magic of
taking the impossible and making it seem not only real, but
also entertaining as well. The story line is loaded with
non-stop action yet the lead protagonists are an intriguing
duo and vampires seem like a bona fide species. Fans of
vigorous vampire romances will appreciate Ms. Shayne's
latest achievement that never slows down until the end. Harriet Klausner

| SUMMARY |
|
Her beauty is spellbinding. Her hunger is insatiable. Her power is immortal. Return with Maggie Shayne to the dark, erotic world of wings in the night . . . A creature of the night, Sarafina lives only for pleasure,
but love is an emotion she has deemed forbidden. Experience
has taught her that love leads only to betrayal and pain,
and she wants no more of pain. She cares for no one,
tolerating only the presence of those she can control
utterly. With her powers, she is convinced she can break
anyone.Willem Stone cannot be broken. He is a challenge Sarafina
cannot resist--a man as boldly alive as she is, a man with
a will of iron, yet a mere mortal. And the only thing
stronger than the clash of their wills is the power of
their desire.But when vampire hunters take Amber Lily, the only child
ever born to a vampire, Sarafina and Willem must put their
struggle aside and combine their strengths in a rescue
attempt that could cost them their very lives. And in the
process, they find the most powerful force of all: love.~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Wings in the Night reading order: Twilight Phantasies
