It always amazes me when reading a paranormal romance, how the author manages to create this whole other little world within a world.That is exactly what Brenda has done with Tempted A Nightshade Novel. It's a whole little world in the real world that has been developed in less than 300 pages. It must be difficult not to get drawn into the descriptive writing, knowing when to balance it with the storyline so not to bore the pants off the reader. I have such a short attention span when it comes to descriptive writing and Brenda managed to keep me engaged throughout the book.This is the story of Sabrina and Roman. I loved these two characters. Sabrina is a wild child who does everything she can to feel something other than being a disappointment. She's feisty and she doesn't care! In private however, she just wants to be loved. Roman is a man I wouldn't turn down. He knows what he wants and its Sabrina. I love the journey these two take to be together. There is suspense and at times you want to jump inside the book and just smack some of them upside the head! The connection between Sabrina and Roman is one that pulls you in. It feels real as you are reading.The secondary characters are well placed and all have a purpose in the book. I do feel however, that some of them have too much of a voice during this book with them being part of the alternative POV's. I do love a book that has alternative POV's as it draws me further into the plot but for me it has to be in moderation. Too many voices leave's too many loose ends at the end of a story, although I must admit there were no loose ends in Sabrina and Roman's story.The book flowed well and the language use is real. The scenes are well placed and you get a real image while reading.
