"Interesting and enjoyable regency vampire tale"
Gideon Ravel, a vampire, is sent to earth to stop Tristan
Soltern, a
renegade vampire, from obtaining part of a magical
medallion. Two
hundred years previously, Queen Nefri created the Veil
using the
medallion and for two hundred years vampires have lived
behind the Veil
in peace and harmony. Now, three renegade vampires seek to
destroy the
Veil and use the medallion for their own nefarious means.
To thwart the
renegades, Nefri has divided the medallion and given it to
three
maidens. Each maiden can only freely give away the
medallion, for the
medallion protects the maiden from enchantment. In order
to ensure the
safety of the maidens, Nefri sends three champions to
protect each one.
Gideon is sent to protect Simone Gilbert, but Simone has
secrets of her
own. Will she learn to trust Gideon, in time to save the
medallion and
ultimately, herself? MY LORD VAMPIRE was a very enjoyable paranormal
regency with an
interesting take on the vampire mythos. Gideon was a great
hero, who at
times was hampered by his feelings for Simone.
Simone, who was really Sally Jenkins pretending to be her
half-sister,
had to learn to trust Gideon. Simone/Sally had backbone,
and I was
proud to see that she didn't act stupidly, when the chance
arrived. I
was anticipating a very stupid move on her part, but was
pleasantly
surprised. If you enjoy vampire romance; give MY LORD
VAMPIRE a try.

A kiss has never been so dangerous...
While the ton dances and gossips, another kind of society altogether claims the London night as its own. by the light of the moon, three noble vampires entrusted with the protection of their kind will discover that human desire is far from lost to them - and that love may be the only thing they long for more than life everlasting... Midnight Kiss When an old gypsy woman gives Sally Jenkins a mysterious amulet - promising much happiness if she safeguards it, and doom if she gives it to another - Sall is intrigued. Born on the wrong side of the coverlet, and curretnly her half sister's drudge, Sally has never had anything of value to call her own. Then a tragic carriage accident en route to London suddenly presents Sally with the chance to live her near twin's life. Masquerading as Simone Gilbert, Sally is soon the toast of the ton, hosting dazzling parties and coay salons - and the object of two men's dogged courtship. Sally senses a dangerou hunger beneath Tristan Soltern's smooth-mannered interest that repulses her, but she is drawn to elegant, black-eyed Gideon Ravel - and tempted to prove to him that she is exactly what she seems. It's a risky game - especially when she discovers that Gideon himself is something other than the refined gentleman she believes him to be, something far more dangerous and unbearably seductive...
