Dark Cravings by Madeline Price: At the Bar with Julian and a Giveaway
I want to say thank you to Roxanne for hosting me today on her blog :-)
Today, we are at the bar with Julian. He’s sexy, has lots of attitude and would do just about anything to have Ella at his side.
ROLE
Vampire, Ella’s ex-lover and sire
FAVORITE QUORE/SCENE (this one is R rated folks…) “After I kill the hunter, I’ll fuck you in his blood, make you lick it off my cock. You always did like it rough.”
PREFERRED BEVERAGEBlood, Female O Neg
CHARACTER INSPIRATIONAlexander Skarsgard (I know, I know…he’s taken by Sookie. He’s just so damn sexy!)
CHARACTER INSPIRED COCKTAIL/SHOOTER
Vampire Blood Martini—The sweet tart pomegranate flavor combined with the fresh citrus taste of blood oranges gives the cocktail a beautiful deep red color and a delicious bite. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and a sugar coated slice of blood orange. I’ve also included two different ways to “decorate” your martini glass for added effect.
VAMPIRE BLOOD MARTINI
1.5 oz vodka1.5 oz pomegranate juice1.5 oz blood orange juice (1 freshly squeezed blood orange)1 tablespoon agave syrup1 lime wedge
Mix all ingredients in martini shaker with ice. Shake vigorously for 15 seconds and pour into chilled martini glass (don’t forget to dampen the rim of your glass and dip it in decorative red sugar crystals). Squeeze in lime wedge. Garnish with pomegranate seeds and sugar coated blood orange slice. Voila!
Alternate idea…instead of using red sugar crystals—try this method for a dripping blood effect.
1 c. Sugar
1/2 c. Karo Syrup
1/2 c. Water
Red Food ColoringCandy thermometer (can be found at most grocery stores)
Combine sugar, syrup and water. Cook without stirring to hard crack stage – which is 300 degrees F. Add food coloring to desired color. Turn off heat. While the mixture is still hot, dunk the top of the cocktail glass into the mixture to create the red rim. If you need to do several glasses, keep the mixture hot so it lasts longer (instead of turning heat off, just reduce slightly).You can go anywhere from just along the very tip of the rim to part way down the glass – whichever you prefer. Flip the glass right side up to cool. The thick consistency of the mixture will cause “drips” as it hardens on the glass!

As a half-breed vampire, Ella Grey’s life sucks. She does her best to pass the time killing demons and secretly admiring her Shadow Hunter partner, Micah. He’s hot, dangerous and knows it. He’d be just Ella’s type if he weren’t likely to kill her the moment she put a toe out of line.
A chance encounter with a succubus changes everything. From the second the succubus’s spell washes over them, Ella and Micah are helpless to keep their hands off one another. The sex, when it’s not leaving them on the verge of death, is earth shattering and for the first time in ages Ella is connected with someone on a level she’d feared lost forever. But a dangerous prophecy has been set into motion, and if Ella’s not careful it’ll pull her straight from Micah’s arms and into the deepest bowA Romantica® Paranormal erotic romance from Ellora’s CavePublisher’s Note: This book was previously published under the title Blood Lust Rising. It has been revised and expanded for EC.
