"Another Bordeaux Sister\'s Story"
Middle sister Cerise Bordeaux is seeking her lost sister.
Heedless of the danger, she finds her way into the
dangerous, deceptive Hellsing Wood. She comes face to face
with the Vampire Lord Daegon Erlansson, and finds herself
the prey in his impulsive cat-and-mouse game. Quickly
captured, Cerise finds herself completely at the mercy of
the vampire. Daegon is not the type of man to spit on a woman freely
offered... even if she didn't really intend to offer
herself in the first place. Beautiful and dynamic, the
middle Bordeaux sister awakens something in him that he
thought long dead. RED AS BLOOD is the second in de Winter's Bordeaux Sisters
trilogy, though reading the first novella is not necessary
to comprehend and enjoy Cerise and Daegon's story. Its
chief characteristic is sex, and some readers may find the
inclusion of bondage scenes and mild punishment (spanking)
not to their liking, but there is a spark of classic
vampire romance lurking beneath the gyrating bodies and
long, heated looks. Not totally emotionally convincing, but
enjoyable to those looking for a more carnal vampire read,
RED AS BLOOD is a solidly relationship-oriented story with
strong shades of the classic Beauty and the Beast tale. A
fine read, but not for those looking for sweetness or
intellectual vampirism. Reviewed by Ann Leveille
