Review: Twilight on Viagra
Rating: 4 out of 5
Date: 01 6, 2014
Dreama's Destiny starts with an outrageous dare; a dare by Dreama's friends to go up to a handsome stranger in a bar and kiss him.  Dreama takes that dare and in the process gets more than she bargained for in the form of the smoldering Zane, a vampire.  A series of fated encounters find Dreama and Zane crossing paths again and again.  These paths lead to only one destination...sex, sex and more paranormal sex!As far as writing goes, the authors definitely know how to build serious sexual tension between Dreama and Zane, but I guess I'm a romantic at heart and would have preferred a little less moaning and thrusting and a lot more relationship and character building.  It seems to me, Dreama and Zane's relationship is built on three things: sex, fate and a paranormal connection, but it might as well just be sex, sex and more sex because the word porn overshadows the story.  The otherworldly aspect of the book was more interesting to me than the insatiable, redundant sex.  This book has a descent plot outside the bedroom, but as it stands it's kind of like Twilight on Viagra.When it comes to characterization, I thought Dreama had a strong background story: family outcast, abusive ex boyfriend, a little shy and wary, but I never felt like I knew Zane outside of being a jealous real estate mogul and vampire.  If I'm going to buy the real connection between these two, especially with declarations of love, I need to know who the heck they are.  Fifty Shades of Grey wasn't just about the sex, there is a strong relationship and love story too and that point was weak in Dreama's Destiny. One more thing that irked me, I really hated the scene with Dreama and Jake in the bathroom...really? He's a crazy ex and a stalker, but he knows how to push all of Dreama's buttons...yuck!Putting aside the bombardment of sex, banality and profanity, I need to rate this book outside of my personal taste and judge it on technical merit, so it deserves four stars undoubtably.  If you like paranormal erotica, I'd say you have yourself a winner with Dreama's Destiny.
