"exciting and sizzling vampire erotic romance"
As a human, Cade McKinnon was a good and honorable man. It
is this very integrity that gets him turned into something
not human by an ancient vampire with no honor or integrity
when Cade comes to the aid of a woman in distress. Cade
succeeds in saving the brutalized woman, only to become a
victim of Sir Edward Ridgemont himself, psychically
enslaved and compelled to do the ancient's bidding against
his own wishes. It isn't until Valerie Chase's life is threatened more than
a hundred years later that Cade successfully breaks
Ridgemont's stranglehold on his mind and will to try and
kill the ancient and his lackey, fellow vampire and
sadistic German, Gerhard Hirsch with a car bomb. Cade's
desperate attempt to keep Ridgemont away from Valerie and
ensure her safety is thwarted when his younger sister, a
ghost who exists on the psychic plane, warns Ridgemont of
Cade's murder/suicide mission. Now Cade's only chance to save Valerie from Ridgemont and
Hirsch's infamous, savage cruelty is to get to her before
the other vampires, and if need be kidnap her. Recently and suddenly fired from her position as a
journalist at a metropolitan newspaper, Valerie is confused
and jobless when an offer to do Edward Ridgemont's memoirs
comes through. With a younger, talented painter sister on
her way to an expensive art institute and no other way to
pay for the tuition, Valerie accepts Ridgemont's seemingly
fortuitous and generous offer, unaware that it is Ridgemont
who murdered her parents more than a decade ago. Cade and Valerie have a psychic link that only one of them
is aware of. Valerie thinks Cade is a figment of her imagination, the
sexy Cowboy that exists only in her dreams. Already erotic
and vivid, lately her dreams have taken on a decidedly
frightening turn as Cowboy turns into one of the monsters
that killed her parents, the hated vampire from her worst
nightmares. To Cade, Valerie is a dream and a reality that he can never
hope to obtain. The best he can do -- what he has been
doing for the last seven years -- is console and protect
her from the nightmares that threaten her, and help her
have as normal a life as possible, something that was
stolen from her when Ridgemont and Hirsch killed her
parents. As one who was present during the murders but, by
a colossal force of will, refusing an order from Ridgemont
to kill Valerie and her sister, Cade feels a responsible
for Valerie. Filled with remorse, he's determined to do
anything in his power to right the wrong of his past and
ensure that Valerie doesn't fall victim to Ridgemont
again...even if it means giving his own life to do it. Fast-paced with creative and detailed world-building, THE
FOREVER KISS is peopled with a well-delineated cast of
characters from Cade's heroic Texas Ranger, to Ridgemont's
elegantly barbaric aristocrat, to Cade's petulant and
overprotective sister Abigail. Cade is the perfect hero --
engaging, virtuous, and sexy as sin. Spirited and with a
wicked sense of humor, Valerie is his match in every way
and in her and Cade McKinnon, Knight has fashioned a couple
with explosive chemistry that makes this book an exciting
and sizzling vampire erotic romance. Definitely a
recommended read! Reviewed for PNR Reviews by
