"Wine and lust fuel wild fantasies."

Fueled by wine and lust, the five friends decided to fix each other up with their fantasies. Now it's Regina's turn. Recently out of a bad relationship, Regina (Reggie) isn't sure she's ready for her fantasy fix. But she can't back out now, so she writes down her fantasies. Regina is sure she's safe; after all Elvis is dead and aliens, Bigfoot, and vampires don't exist, so she couldn't be dominated by any of them. Or could she?

Dmitri Vidâme, a real vampire, is sitting at the bar among the wannabe vampires when Reggie walks in. Immediately attracted to her, he reads her mind and discovers her hidden submission fantasy. He's more than willing to be the one to do the dominating, starting now.

If you like your heroes alpha, this is a book for you. He's dominating, yet caring of Reggie's needs and desires. I liked how Reggie struggled to understand how to reconcile her modern sensibilities with her desire to be submissive.

I really enjoyed this book and look forward to more from Christine Warren. I think I'll get my wish. She seemed to be setting up more books for some of the minor characters in this one. I found her writing style to be easy to read. A warning though, there is no mention of birth control, which I know is a problem for some readers.

Sensuality: rated NC17 by the publisher. Bondage, light spanking, lesbian sex, menage a trois.

Summary

Friends fix you up with blind dates. Real friends fix you up with your fantasies...

Regina just ended an awful relationship. The last thing she needs is her friends' help in finding a new one. When they pressure her into sharing her fantasies, she makes up one she thinks could never come true. After all, vampires don't even exist. Right?

Wrong. And Dmitri Vidâme is the proof. He sees Regina's thoughts and knows her darkest fantasies. What Regina needs is someone who bring handcuffs as well as roses and who sees the possibilities offered by her sensual and giving nature.

With all the electricity sparking between them, and some sneaky mental eavesdropping, Dmitri knows she wants him, too. He just doesn't know if she'll feel the same once she finds out about his nocturnal habits and his liquid diet...

Sexual Content: NC-17. Genre: vampire.
