Title: Vampire Awakening
Author: Eliza Gayle
Published: March 26th 2012 by Gypsy Ink Books The truth may set her free but there’s no guarantee she’ll recover. Abby Douglas has lived in the dark for six months. Until a mysterious package and a voice in a dream spark a chain of events she didn’t see coming. To futher complicate matters, a lethally stunning stranger walks into her life and awakens erotic needs inside her that run deep. Now she has to decide how much she’ll give up to unlock her memories. Caleb Barrett, a vampire on a mission, pursues Abby while on the hunt for a homicidal vampire. Instead he’s captured by a silken voice and haunting eyes that stir an insatiable hunger. An instant connection is forged and Caleb marks her as his own with no intention of letting her go. When she runs from him all bets are off and this dead sexy cowboy will do whatever it takes to find out what secrets her mind harbors before it’s too late. Rules or no rules. Suddenly being careful what you wish for is more than just another cliché, it’s life or death. This books contains one sexy as sin, motorcycle riding, black leather wearing vampire with a two track mind. Sex and blood.
This book was a whole lot of story packed into
less than a hundred pages! I loved it!
Abby works in a bar as a waitress and a singer. Abby has amnesia. Abby
is waiting for her memories to return when she is ready, as her doctor claims
they will. Abby has an instant
attraction to Caleb, roughly similar to a jet fuel fire.
Caleb is a vampire.
Caleb is on a mission. Caleb goes
to the bar and he sets his eyes on Abby.
Caleb must have her. Caleb will
have her. But first Caleb has to save
Abby, and Abby doesn’t even know she is in grave danger.
Liz (that’s me) is wondering how in the hell she can wrestle
Caleb away from Abby because she wants him for herself.
“She marveled at the taste of his kiss as she fell deep into the drugging embrace of his arms.”
Ok, first things first – Caleb. OMFG.
Talk about HOT. He is a cowboy
vampire capable of a southern drawl that will melt you from tip to toe and he rides a motorcycle. Caleb has a bit of a dominant edge, and Abby
isn’t the only one (um, hello, me!!) who thinks he is sexy as all get out. When Caleb and Abby get together my kindle
caught fire right in my hands, it was very erotic and thoroughly
enjoyable.
But I get ahead of myself. This book was terrific. The mystery inside is “How did Abby lose her
memory?” and the answer was seriously unexpected! I just love a mystery that will keep you
guessing, and this one did. Add to this
glorious equation a few action scenes that will have your heart thudding. And then multiply that all by some very high
heat and very sensual intimate scenes that will have you curling your toes in
fantasy! Caleb is dominant and
aggressive in all the right ways, and if I were Abby I would have reacted the
same way. Really, I just adored her so
much I wanted to cheer her on with a big ol’, “you go girl!”
If you are into vampire erotica (and you should be) you will
definitely enjoy this book. My only hope
is that the author will decide there should be more of this fantastic
couple. This is my first read from this
author (Eliza Gayle) but it is definitely
not the last. And lucky for me – and you – she has an extensive library to
choose from!
