There's something otherworldly about Alexander Claybourne. With his dark, arresting features and mesmerizing eyes, the seductive stranger looks every inch a vampire. Kara Crawford laughed at local... This description may be from another edition of this product.
This was my first attempt to reading Amanda Ashley. When I first bought it I was thinking vampire novel but as it turns out its nothing like I expected. The book pulls you in from the start and holds you there to the very end. Its a page turner and a really great romance. The love shared between the two main characters is breathtaking...ooooh to have a man like that. Anyway, read this book you won't be disappointed.
An EXCELLENT STORY!

I dove into this one thinking it a typical vampire romance. Not! In fact, without giving too much of the plot away, this is a vampire romance without the vampire. But we think it a vampire story until the huge surprise (near the end but not so near the end that the surprise cannot be delved into more deeply.) Even though this book turned out to be not what I thought it was, I was not at all dismayed. In fact, I enjoyed it more because of the twist than I would have had it merely "followed the formula." Alexander Claybourne tries to save Kara Crawford from her comatose condition (the result of an auto accident) by injecting some of his own blood into her IV. She awakens within hours and, in fact, recovers so completely and so quickly, that a certain doctor becomes suspicious and begins running tests on her and finds something extremely curious about her blood makeup. The doctor then abducts Kara in order to make money by selling her blood to dying people. It is up to Alexander to save her, since it is his fault this has happened. This book had a great plot for a romance novel and was sexy in the extreme. Add the medical drama and the sci-fi bit and this turned into quite an action-packed thriller. If you love romances, you will love this book. If you enjoy medical thrillers, this is for you. If you like science fiction, you need to read it! This was one truly enjoyable read.
Magical, wonderful. Please read it.

All Amanda Ashley books are wonderful. I have read them all and recommend everyone. She is the top writer in the field of supernatural romance. I can't wait until she writes another.
Charismatic hero, independent heroine

Contrary to the previous reviewer I accepted the hero as "different". The heroine is sick and dying in the hospital when the hero responds to her sister's plea to help. He doesn't make her a vampire but he does give her a blood donation that saves her life and gives her special powers. He is sensitive to light because of his disorder, and writes horror books (often doing research into dark subjects)- which is why people think he is an eccentric, possible a vampire. The romance grows between the two despite the differences in their lifestyles and his powers. Her doctor wants more of the miracle cure though, and the transfusions could be having unexpected results... Page turner, tear-jerker, inteligent characters with good emotional resonance.
