“Last Kiss” by Dominique Adair. At a party Elaine meets Count Alex Romanov, whom she has dreamed of for years but never met before. He believes Elaine is the reincarnation of his lost love. In a short period of time, they fall in love. However Elaine has not much time left on this earth unless Alex can find a way to keep her with him through eternity. “Last Kiss” is a very graphic and sensual erotic paranormal romance that enables the audience to feel the intensity of feelings between Alex and Elaine.

“Night Flight” by Margaret Carter. To stop the steady reduction in their numbers, the vampire council instituted a breeding program using human DNA. Gillian, who is one quarter human, goes away with her friend Paul for the weekend. Paul is shocked when he sees her change. Once he recovers, they engage in a sexual marathon. Afterward Paul wonders if he is in love or is being hypnotized to feel that way. Margaret Carter has written a very erotic vampire novella that makes the species vampire seem veryreal.

“Heart of Midnight” by Kit Tunstall – Blind and unable to have children, her uncle and aunt sells Catriona to a brothel in Lasenbourg. The vampire Quintos rescues Catriona from a sadist on her first night. He takes her to his estate where she discovers he’s a psychic vampire who feeds off emotions. She wants him to make her a vampire so she can regain her sight but he refuses, fearing that she’ll leave him once she sees his scarred face. HEART OF MIDNIGHT is an erotic vampiric version of Beauty and the Beast
