In the vampire world it seems that a kiss has the power to create and destroy. InAwakened: An Erotic Vampire Thriller Speciala kiss brought Chandler to life again and she remembered a past that she was forced to forget. This story the Cajun rogue, Gabriel Benoit captures Jessica Talvert with a kiss.This book gave me the fever. I felt it from the beginning to the end. I would have gone with Gabriel even if he was leading me to my death. Gabriel has the kind of charm that inspires fear and lust. You want to love him, but the darkness that surrounds him frightens you. Loving Gabriel is like taking a wild wolf into your home. He may bite you and even kill you but that is exactly what drives you insane with the desire to either tame him or run with him.I felt as though I were Jessica and the hum of New Orleans as the writer depicted it so succinctly called tugged on my ear and reeled me in. I always appreciate a character that I could identify with on some level. Gabriel has that hypnotic effect, the same kind  that caused Chandler to follow the stranger Lucien out into an empty alley and have her sex explored in Awakened.Gabriel is the kind of character that if he did exist in real like would constantly have your head spinning. As the writer said "He looked as delicious and sinful as chocolate ... but with bite to it.He was definitely a heart breaker." For me he was a shot of tequila and Jessica is a tall glass of vodka. Her effect is s creeping one. You sample a little of her and the next thing you know, you are drowning in the whole bottle.In the beginning you get the sense that Gabriel wants out of his life, but really he is only that way because he has not begun to live it the way he should. When he catches the strange yet familiar scent of Jessica that is when he gets his own awakening. My senses tingled with his and my hair stood tall when his did. Gabriel was the wild wolf that I wanted to tame and I could only picture myself as Jessica in order to achieve his.Great concept, sweet execution is all I could say to the writer Celeste Anwar. I hope to read more of your work soon and be thoroughly entertained.
