BOOK DESCRIPTION
If Wishes Were Shadows
Calinda Byer is all assertiveness in her daytime life, but when it comes to the bedroom, she leaves her will at the door with her clothes. Her vampire Dom, Adam Straton, refuses to turn her until she has witnessed the darker side of immortality and the true depths of his sexuality -- including his male vampire lover. A weekend at his country estate promises dark, twisted delights the likes of which Calinda could never have imagined. All she has to do is use the safe word, and she can return to the "normal" world alone. But will she?
EXCERPT
If Wishes Were Shadows
Calinda spotted him from her accustomed table in the corner by the door, the perfect location to watch the crowd of rich, beautiful people coming and going. Adam caught her eye the moment he sat down, all yummy and big and dark, just the way she liked them. Six-feet-two at least, broad of shoulder and back with neatly trimmed black hair, and a pinstripe suit that no doubt cost ten times more than her own was worth. His bold, straight posture told her beyond any doubt that he was the king of all he surveyed. No, emperor was closer to the mark.
But it was one fine detail that had grabbed her attention and imagination in a vise grip and wouldn't let go, that set her pulse racing and her junkie heart pounding…
His lack of reflection in the mirror above the bar. Calinda checked at least four times, even shifted to different places in the restaurant to be certain, but no matter where she went… there he wasn't.
It was by far the biggest adrenaline rush of a lifetime spent awash in them. A vampire. An actualvampire. They not only existed, but there was an unbelievably hot one sitting right there in her favorite restaurant, casual as you please. Anyone who looked hard enough would be able to tell-what kind of balls did that take?
How could she resist?
She'd sidled up to the suddenly mysteriously empty seat beside the gorgeous vampire and slipped onto the high stool. Not one much for subtlety, she let her skirt ride up just high enough to allow a peek at her lacy stocking tops, crossed her long, slender legs to show off the heels, ordered a red wine for herself, and turned to her attention to her soon-to-be-new vampire friend.
"So I wonder," she said, looking directly at the place where his face should appear in the mirror. "Do you drink… wine?"
She caught his smirk out of the corner of her eye. "Why, would you like to be… I'm sorry, excuse me, buy my drink?"
They laughed. There was no secret about what he was. No doubt that she knew. They were made for each other. It had been all adventure and blood, paddles and leather, feathers and handcuffs, hot wax and hot sex in wild and often public and dangerous places ever since. She didn't know if it was obsession or love, and she didn't care. Adam told her he had never known anyone like her in two thousand years, and without a doubt, she had never known anyone like him in twenty-six.
Her "monster."
MY REVIEW
If Wishes Were Shadows
The following review is my opinion and not a paid review. I was given a free copy of the book from the author for an honest review.
Calinda is someone who loves having a good time in the bedroom, know what I mean? She likes it hard and rough. The more pain she feels the more she is turned on. She likes for the guy to take over and for him to be her master when in the bedroom. But in her life she can be very aggressive and persuasive. She can take over and be the boss herself.
Calinda meets this guy a vampire, Adam in a bar one night and is very attracted to him as he is to her. Adam wants to turn Calinda but he's not sure if she can handle being apart of his private life not with the way he plays his little games. He thinks Calinda can handle his private life but he needs to show her before he turns her. He needs to make sure that she knows what she is getting into. Adam whats Calinda be absolutely sure that she wants to be a vampire and a part of his life. So he takes her to his home for the weekend to show her how he lives his life privately in his home.
I am pretty sure that this is the first BDSM book that I have read. So therefore I wasn't real sure what it would be about. I knew it would be about vampires and I love reading books with any paranormal creäture in it. If Wishes Were Shadows was very well written. I mean A. Sangrey Black knows how to write a good story. She puts everything out there on the table for you and leaves nothing to the imagination. Most of the books that I have read leave a whole lot for you to figure out what is going on. I have read a few erotica books in the last few weeks and have decided that everyone should spice up their reading materials once in a while. I have nothing against books that are m/m, f/f or m/m/f as long as the story is good but I am more of a m/f kind of person myself. But that doesn't mean I won't read them in the future if I know the writer is good or the story sounds like it would be a good read.
- About the Author
Alexia enjoys the darker side of entertainment, including literature from the classic gothic style to the modern horror novel, erotica and romance that walks in the shadows off the beaten path. She loves horror movies both psychological and gory, and nurses a fascination for and dedication to the rights and practices of alternative lifestyles. What two or more adults do in the privacy of their dungeon is her... rather THEIR business. Vampires are her great fictional (or are they?) love, but all things that hunt the night, human or otherwise, forever capture her imagination and demand that she tell their stories. A denizen of the Adirondack Mountains of New York, there are plenty of legends, ghost stories, and creepy happenings in the deep forests and abandoned caves to keep her writing for the rest of her life.
A. Sangrey Black also writes more mainstream paranormal romance and urban fantasy as H.A. Fowler. She loves to hear from readers of both styles, so feel free to drop her a line or visit her blog or Facebook.
