"fine medieval paranormal romance"
When he learned of his father's death, Gareth returns home
to the Highlands seeking revenge against the killer.
However, he and his companions are attacked by a marauding
army. Knowing he will die without enabling his father to
rest peacefully, Gareth is shocked when he is saved by a
beautiful female. Roxanna has decided Gareth will be her blood feeder until
he withers and dies as she is a vampire, albeit a very
hungry one who has just escaped from a bottled
imprisonment. She knows she needs all her strength for
her upcoming battle against her enemy, the evil vampire
Lucian Kivar, who seeks the Chalice for some malevolent
power grabbing use. However, to her shame she falls in
love with Gareth, who bears the mark of this chalice on
him that her odious foe wants. As Gareth returns her
feelings of love he and Roxanna team up to challenge the
mightiest vampire of them all. The third medieval paranormal romance (see THE DEVIL'S
KNIGHT and MY DEMON'S KISS) is a delightful star-cross
lovers' tale starring a courageous male human and a much
more powerful female vampiress. The change in Roxanna
from seeing her as a prisoner to falling in love with her
soulmate is handled deftly and given the time to evolve
(reverse Stockholm syndrome aside). Readers will enjoy
the latest thriller as good (the lead couple) battles
superior evil (Lucian) with love being the secret weapon
of choice. Harriet Klausner
