Book Review: Re-Scue by Laura Tolomei

Laura is a returning author to my site and, for those of you unfamiliar with her, she offers this enchanting bit of insight:

If you really want to know, I was born in 1965 in Rome, Italy, but soon started my travelling career. At the age of five, my parents took me to Lagos, Nigeria, where I grew up free and hot like I've never been since. I loved it there and still think of it with nostalgia. Anyway, it was also where I learned English. After my African experience, I was ready to tackle the US. I lived in Atlanta, GA, five teen-age years, attending the Crestwood High School, where I started my writing career by publishing a short story Nostalgia on the Crestwood Journal. Very thrilled about discovering my new talent, I went ahead during college, writing for the Emory University journal The Phoenix. Three articles mark my first-and last-steps in journalism, "The peace Corps", "WAMM, Women Against Military Madness," and "Lesbism".

After my American experience, I moved back to Rome, but still kept living from time to time abroad, spending several months in Mumbay India, a country I always felt very close to me in more ways than one.

Today, I write both in Italian and English, mostly fiction of various genres, from fantasy erotica, to mysteries up to plain ordinary life stories.

For those of you who read Italian, you can simply visit the Italian sections, but if you feel particularly lazy, here's a short summary:

I have a short story on line Incontro Metropolitano (Meeting at the Subway) and two books:

• Piccolo Crocevia a Cinque (Little Five Points, for those who know Atlanta it's a spot near Emory University), printed by Editing Edizioni, to be released December 2008.

• L'Investigatto (loosely translated The Cat Detective), publisher Ennepil Libri, 2009

In English, I write erotica in various genres, mostly fantasy, sci-fi and paranormal, sometimes trespassing into contemporary. Feel free to look over my website in search of more in-depth info.

Re-scue

Consecutive lifetimes locked in a passionate hunt of blood and sex, but what if the prey wants more?

Only one rule: never fall in love. But the sex and blood is just too good to pass up. So what to do? Blood and sex are the only fair game he, the hunter, allows me, his prey, to have in our passionate chase through time and space. And for his sake, I've had more lives than I care to count. From one life to the next, I played his savage game, hungering for him in a way no amount of blood or sex could ever satisfy me. But not anymore! So how to beat him at his own game and get away with it?

My Review:

Laura Tolomei has this ability to grab a reader from page one, and Re-Scue was one such book that accomplished just that from the onset.

The heroine, Didri, is tired of her perfect life. She feels everything she does lacks excitement. She feels she's fallen into a ho-hum existence, where nothing new ever happens to her, and everything is meaningless. She's tried everything to spice up her world, and has failed miserably. Even the boyfriends have become miserably predictable. In other words, her life is excruciatingly BORING.

All until Tylean arrives…

Re-Scue was a rollercoaster ride into a world that is breathtaking, unpredictable, and never quite what it seems! Ms. Tolomei writes a passionate tale that catches the reader first assumes is going to be a passé romance centered on a woman's ennui, then turns everything upside down with a passionate flair that causes one to gasp! Brilliant, erotic, choatic, and filled with passion, Re-Scue is an unpredictable ride into lust and adventure!

5 Stars!
