Sweet Vernal Zephyr

Alexandre Renard never met a more intriguing woman than Veronica Marshall. He waited for weeks for the mysterious woman to make her move...and wasn't disappointed when they shared a seductive dance at a Paris tango club. Their passion made him want to savor their embrace forever--even though he knew that Veronica was waiting for her chance to destroy him....

Veronica's game of cat-and-mouse with Alexandre turns into nights of unforgettable pleasure. How could she destroy the man she came to love?

With time--and their enemies--against them, the couple will have to fight to win just one more day in each other's arms....

AUDIO REVIEW

• Same narrator as My Vampire Husband, so it took me a while to disassociate Blu from the current narrator.

PLOT REVIEW

• What would you do if the end of your life was only a year on the horizon. Do something good or indulge every whim?


• I came to this story after Her Vampire Husband, which is actually out of order. So I had some spoilers before I even started. The book seems predictable, but I am not sure if that is due to the spoilers or not.


• Dance is passion, and I have extreme emotional ties to dance. Therefore this story holds my interest even though the intensity of emotion is mild. I superimpose my passion for dance over the suggested passion of the characters to form a wonderful dance.


• The language of the dance is carried throughout the story, a very nice integration of literary grace as well as an interesting twist on the basic elements within all paranormal romances.

Read Chapter 1 HERE.

Sweet daydreams...

Comment link is usually at the top of the post, unless post is maximized.

• Werewolves
• Vampires
• Witches

• M/F
• Rape, suggested

• Green hair? Sweet! (Mine's golden blond and pink right now)


• Back tat designed by her lover? Wicked! (I designed MY lover's)


• Serious May/December romance

  "'Her youth will serve you well,' Alexandre said on a sly whisper. 'The younger ones are the most open to trying new things.'"



• Some tough issues to deal with in this story.


• I was especially disturbed by the treatment of Blu in the werewolf pack.


• Blu comes off as the spoiled princess and I almost couldn't take it until her breakdown in the car re-peaked my interest.


• Underlying themes of racism & slavery (reparations)


• The fight to maintain HEA was a nice extension to the classic story line.


• This read hit me as middle of the road. Good listening for me while I am outside gardening.


• Not sure if I will be picking up the previous story in the series, Vampire's Tango. *Note, I did pick up Vampire's Tango and the review will be posted Thursday.
