The first three books in the Vampire Erotic Theater series showcased heros that were likable and immediately relatable; Andreu pushes the envelope right from the start, making you wonder what he's trying so hard to conceal under that seemingly self-serving, overconfident facade. His leading lady is no typical damsel in distress either, and her presence in the theater sets off all sorts of warning bells to the older vampires. The setup of this romance is edgy, forbidden, and intense... exactly the way we like our VET stories!Our first encounter with Varya is dangerous and exciting. She doesn't waste any time provoking the most dangerous of the theater's owners before taking a forbidden taste of Andreu. As one of the most powerful fae species, our succubus heroine is both a naughty little minx and curiously innocent. You've gotta love a chick who shows up in a corset, thigh-highs, and a mini schoolgirl skirt before flitting around the theater giving smooches.And Victor... Victor is an enigma. Each book I think I have him pegged, and each one adds a little more dimension and mystery to his character. I don't think Ms. Heaton has a book planned for him, but I'm interested in learning more about what's going on with the sexy star of the theater.Varya and Andreu have a connection that is explosive and addictive; their energy fairly bursts off of the pages. Enslave also gives us a bigger glimpse into Payne's character, unravelling a little more of his mystery (and what a secret it is!). And, of course, a Vampire Erotic Theatre story would not be complete without a few endearingly gentle and caring appearances by Snow, tempered by his obviously volatile and lethal nature.The setting for this series is both scandalous and carnally appealling. This is not your average theater and the acts don't come with anything less than a XXX-rating. In most of the stories so far, Ms. Heaton only exposed glimpses of the performances, but Enslaved doesn't hold back, and if voyuerism is your thing, this is absolutely the book for you! Varya's succubus nature combined with Andreu's dominant, carnal appetite will have you frequently reaching for your own significant other. Hot, hot, hot!!Passionate, heart-warming, and decadently scandalous, Enslave is my favorite Vampire Erotic Theatre novella so far. Andreu and Varya might be my favorite VET couple as well and, considering Andreu's initial haughty, self-possessed nature, that's saying something! Fans of the series will absolutely want to read this 4th installment, and new readers should have no trouble diving right into the story of this deliciously naughty theater and the sexy men who run it. Enslave is a must read!
