Excerpt:
David got up from the bar and walked to the shadows so he could watch the beautiful redhead. He looked at her with a growing need to shelter her from the club. More importantly, what and who was in the club. He'd never felt this way before. What was it about this woman? She was human for gods' sake! Why did he feel this primal pull toward her?
He nearly smiled as she looked over her shoulder at the bar to find he was no longer there. At least he knew he wasn't the only one affected by what was between them. When she looked back to the man sitting at the table with her, David wanted it to be him that she was looking at. Was the guy her boyfriend? At the thought David felt a growl coming on…she was his.
His imagination ran wild as he started to picture his hands running through her shiny, wild red hair. How her head would tip up to look at him. Her mouth would part as her eyes closed, and he would lean over to have a taste of her neck. Slowly, his elongated fangs would draw softly over her pulse and she'd shudder, exposing her neck and giving him better access.

My Review:
I received a free copy of the book from the author for my honest opinion.
Melissa and John have been best friends for a very long time. John has come to a point in his life where he had kind of rather stayed at home and not get out. But Melissa has other plans she is not going to let him sit behind closed doors and shut the world out. She is determined to help her friend John be happy. So Melissa talks him into going with her to this night club called Smash. Smash is not your ordinary club. You know where you go out have a few drinks, dance and maybe meet someone new. Oh you will probably meet someone new but more than likely you won't remember it when you leave.
While Melissa and John are sitting in their booth talking and sipping on their drinks, Melissa is casually starts checking out all the men in the place when she makes eye contact when this one dude that shoots her temperature up about fifty or sixty degrees. He is one good looking, tongue brain slapping, out of this world, rock my boat dude. But when Melissa turns to look at him again he is no longer sitting at the bar and Melissa feels her heart plummet right down to her feet.
But Melissa is not the only one whose body temperature is on the rise so his the dude that she sees. Oh yeah David's world is about to be rocked as well. David sees Melissa and wants her badly. While he is standing off in the shadows watching her talking with her friend wondering who he is if he is her boyfriend or what he is to her David is thinking that he wants a one night stand with this beautiful woman sitting before his eyes.
David wants a little more than a one night stand with this woman oh yeah he wants to drink her blood. Yes David is a vampire and is hooked on human blood like humans get hooked on alcohol or food. His addiction is more like when a human is hooked on food than alcohol. David needs the blood to survive but he also just has this craving that is so strong that sometimes he can't control it and he ends up killing the human that is drinking from. But later on that night David runs into Melissa and finds that someone has drugged her so he takes her home with him. He realizes that what he feels for her is like nothing he has ever felt before and is not sure that a one night stand is going to do the trick anymore.
I loved reading Smash and going along on each and every characters journey with them. Sometimes I would laugh with them because they were so happy and then sometimes I would cry with them when things would go sour for them. I wanted to get inside the book with them and help them out, keep them safe from the bad people in the world. I loved how David felt about his mother and his sister Sage. David would have given his life for his mother, sister and Melissa. If you love reading about vampires then Smash is not the book to let slip out of your hands. Pick up your copy today! You will not regret it in the least.
About The Author:
When Susan was in high school she never really liked to read, but when she was a child she did. Go figure. It wasn't until after she graduated that she caught the reading bug. She had to go to a bookstore to sell off her textbooks and a particular book caught her eye. This book stood out from the other second-hand books because it had a pink cover. It was only a couple of dollars, so she thought Why not? But she couldn't quite bring herself to read her bargain book. It had a pink cover!
Then, after it tormented her for three weeks, she finally picked it up and…could not put it down. She finished it in two days.
After googling the author Susan found that she'd written a heap of books for Harlequin Mills & Boon as well as Single Titles. So of course Susan had to buy all her other books. And when she realised that there were other Mills & Boon authors out there, she just had to search out their books too. And she loved them!
Susan got a ton of inspiration from those books. But the most important thing she realized was that she wanted to write those books too. She wanted to be a paranormal author! Because let's face it, who doesn't like things that go bump in the night?
