My Viking Vampire
Sanctuary, Texas
by Krystal Shannan
.jpg)
Bailey Ross’ world is crumbling around her. Her
abusive ex, a human, is closing in on her again, and to make matters worse, a
new enemy, a djinn, is stalking her. This supernatural being takes great
pleasure in human pain, something Bailey has in excess thanks to her ex. If she’s
caught by either, she’s as good as dead.
Backed
into a corner and desperate to escape, she does something she swore wouldn’t
ever be possible again –trusting a man. And he’s a vampire.
Protection
via the sexy vampire Erick Thorson may prove to be a little more than she
bargained for. Sparks fly between them and she finds herself agreeing to more
than just protection. Though he has promised not to let anyone harm her, the
small west Texas town is more than it seems and he may not be able to make good
on his vow no matter how hard he tries.
Will
Sanctuary be the home Bailey longs for or will she have to die to find out?

Excerpt: (heat level – molten lava)
I
was awash with sensations. His mouth made love to my breasts. There was no
other way to describe it. He licked and sucked and nipped until I could feel my
pulse pounding in my sex. It was driving me wild.
When
he finally closed his mouth over one of my nipples, I gasped. Each tug sent
ribbons of fire coursing through my body straight to my wet, needy core. He
switched to the other and used his fingers to roll the wet nipple back and
forth, exerting just enough pressure to make me start panting.
My
back arched up, thrusting my breasts closer to his luxurious mouth. He nipped
and pulled at the other nipple, not giving a second of reprieve. I pushed my
head back and fisted handfuls of the satiny comforter, biting back a groan. I
couldn’t remember the last time I was this turned on.
Warmth
flooded across every inch of my skin. Full-on body blush.
He
shifted so that his shaft nudged at my mound while his mouth delved up and down
the lines of my throat. “Look at me.” The command rumbled from deep in his
chest.
I
couldn’t deny him and I opened my eyes again just as he captured my mouth,
plunging his tongue deep. He leaned to the side, resting on an elbow and
sliding one palm beneath my head. His grip on my skull was firm and he used the
leverage to kiss even harder.
His
other hand slid down the left side of my body, sending shivers of exhilaration
straight to my nerve endings. I rolled my shoulders, wiggling my arms free, and
wrapped my hands around his bulging ones, giving myself a little bit of
leverage to push back into his all-consuming kiss, wanting to give back as much
as he was giving me.

My Review:
This was a fantastic paranormal romance which has left me wanting to learn more about the unique characters living in Sanctuary, Texas! Bailey has been running and hiding from her abusive ex-boyfriend when she finds herself being stalked by an evil Djinn. She is rescued by Erick, a vampire, who offers her protection and invites her home to his supernatural town, Sanctuary. Tired of running and fearing for her safety, she agrees to trust Erick with her safety and she finds herself hoping that she has made the right decision. I love Bailey strength and compassion, even when her life has been one nightmare after another, she has never given up. Erick is a sexy, dangerous and compassionate vampire who will do whatever it takes to keep Bailey safe. I fell a little in love with him myself while enjoying this wonderful tale. This well written story has romance, humor, suspense, mystery and lets not forget all the wonderful (and in some cases, kinky) characters. I am looking forward to more tales featuring more Sanctuary residents! ~Booklover Sue

ReplyDeleteAwe man... that's a tough one... I love vampires but shifters are pretty hot too... but if I had to go with one I'd have to go with vampires and that's only because of Eric Northman. Who could possibly turn down the viking vampire god!!?! :)
