"A vampire romance with an intriguing element of suspense and delightful characters."
Vampire Dr. Justin Corvus has come to visit Dixie and
Christopher Marlowe, also vampires. It is while he is
tending Dixie's bookstore for her that he meets single mom
Stella Schwartz -- and falls for her in a big way. With no
future with her before him, Justin decides to take Dixie's
advice and enjoy what time he can have with Stella. Still,
falling for a mortal woman is not a choice Justin would
have made. Besides being a single mom, Stella has numerous other
burdens to bear. Just making a living and keeping up her
mom's house, like she promised she would do, is almost more
than she can handle. Even though she finds Justin extremely
attractive, she just doesn't have the time or energy for a
man in her life right now. Things take a very different
path for her, though, when some thugs Justin rescues her
from decide to seek revenge. Now it seems everyone is trying to run her life for her.
It's almost more than a truly independent woman can stand!
Throw in Vlad Tepes (the original Count Dracula) and a
couple of homeless ghouls, plus some problems Justin must
face with the council, and things can get just a bit
complicated! Rosemary Laurey's talent with words draws the reader
completely into the world she creates. Truly a romance,
RAPTURE IN MOONLIGHT also has an intriguing element of
suspense and a start of a mystery. Stella's son Sam is a
pleasurable part of the story. Justin is a hero to die for,
and Stella is an intelligent, strong heroine. Readers of
Laurey's WALK IN MOONLIGHT will be pleased to visit once
again with Dixie, Kit, and other acquaintances. It is
highly recommended that WiM be read first, as the
relationships can be a bit confusing if not (plus being an
excellent book in itself). I eagerly await the next book in
this series. Sensuality--R Fairly descriptive sex, oral sex.
