Awakened: An Erotically Charged Vampire Thriller Story starts out with a young woman named Chandler with exotic New Orleans as the city backdrop. Chandler is the kind of character that would rather stay home on a Friday night and enjoy a relaxing bath and good book, but finds herself pushed to go out to a club.Her best friend Lisette changes her taste in fashion every week, and this week is Gothic. Lisette is determined to get Chandler out of the house and excited about a night of fun. Chandler and Lisette go to a new club, Lilith's Lair, the hottest club in town at the moment. While Lisette is out dancing and having fun, Chandler finds herself at the bar talking to the most beautiful man she's ever seen. Lucien is tall, gorgeous, a hint of an accent, and has dimples. He is strongly drawn to Chandler, and before Chandler knows it she's given into her more brazen side.Chandler and Lucien's encounters together are provocative and seductive. The sensual chemistry is charged into overdrive. These two must learn more about each other, and as Chandler learns she will discover something from her past. The question is whether Chandler can fully accept Lucien and what that might mean for their relationship.This book is charged with passion and it would benefit to have a few more chapters in building up the storyline. The ending is a bit abrupt but overall, the story fits its title exactly--erotically charged.
