"Vampire Romance: Four Erotic Vampire Short Stories" is a quick read but a good one, especially if you love the still very popular vampire romance genre. The first story, "Of Love and Bloodlines," was my favorite; in it, Julia and Erzebet visit Hungary to discover their roots--and Erzebet gets much closer to her bloodline than she could ever have imagined. The second tale, "The Bait--The Wait--The Capture," is a little more violent and unsettling, while the third, "Counsel of Dark Desire" was I think the most inventive of the set (in the story, Mercedes is visiting her therapist to overcome her delusions--she sees rats, beetles, and vampires everywhere she goes). "Virgin Blood," about a dark college professor, rounds out the set.The steamy scenes keep the pages turning, but one of the real draws to the stories for me is how great the heroines are--I became attached to each of them within a few short pages. If you're looking for erotica wrapped in interesting stories with great heroines, then I would recommend "Vampire Romance" (even if vampires aren't your thing).
