Blood Fire

Blood #6

by Sharon Page

Innocence Lost

It was a night of exquisite rapture that changed Lady Octavia Grenville's life forever. Not only did she long for sexual pleasure--but as a succubus she needed it to survive. Now she is intent upon learning to control her powers and searching for the child she was forced to give up, a quest that takes her into the arms of the rake who ruined her. . .

Passion Found

Matthew, the Earl of Sutcliffe, is not the man Octavia once knew. He is now a vampire, but one doomed to die in a fortnight unless he can win a woman's love. The only one he desires is Octavia, but she wants him merely as a sexual plaything, a source of erotic delight. Somehow he must expose his own heart in order to find hers. . .

Sharon Page will always be autobuy for me and will always be a favorite for introducing me to erotic historicals with her original Daughters of Rodesson trilogy. Her Blood series in no way reaches the excellence of her previous work, but the past few books in the series have gotten progressively better. I love that she's still writing erotic historicals; the biggest issue is that Blood Fire is so plot heavy, the characters and the romance suffer for it. The love scenes used to be lengthy and explicit, but always well done, and they don't seem to have been written with the same care as before. Quite simply, the story is inventive, but the main problem is that there's too much going on. There are witches, demons, vampires, werewolves, succubi, shifters, and even visits to hell with appearances from Lucifer himself!

Matthew and Octavia, despite all this, still present a love story worth fighting for. They have everything thrown at them, and still through it all, come through stronger. I just wish romance took priority over the paranormal world.

Wow, this book had it all: the main character was basically a lady & a succubus, the guy later became a vampire, there was so much plot & sex. A very plot dense novel and the whole book was very unpredictable and suspenseful because it seemed like there was no way to free her from the curse.

The whole visit to Hell to see Lucifer seemed more like a fever dream than an actual thing that happened.

The plot is quite interesting, but I don't like the writing at all. The love story seems a little inappropriate, she is just a scarred girl and he an asshole, they both act so foolishly. The sex scenes are unpleasant and come the fuck on, who the hell would have sex while their 2 days old daughter is missing? It's a big no for me for this, but I think the plot of the book is a good one.

[Darian Froseth · Rating 3 out of 5]

This book was a little all over the place for me. It’s like two books got mashed into one. I enjoyed the first half of the book better, the second half had so much half-developed plot crammed in there that seemed to have almost no connection to what was going on in the first half. Overall I enjoyed it, but it could have been structured a little better or streamlined somehow.

Enjoyable weird little niche book. Regency, supernatural, love story.

[Carey Oakes · Rating 3 out of 5]

it was good, although the spicy scenes could have been improved.

[Maria · Rating 3 out of 5]

I read a review of someone who read the previous books in the series, and I agreed completely with her review. While the love story is relatively compelling, and keeps you reading, the whole story is not as cohesive. Too much going on. Also, the sex scenes (especially the ones that make the book "erotic") seemed quite forced, and the kinky stuff in the main couple came at the most inappropiate and unplausible times. I'm not a prude, but it just looked like the sex was forced in just because it had to. Still, there was enough of interesting to make me one to read the previous books. I'm especially interested in the woman with two husbands. I've only found something similar in one of the books I've read so far.

Historical romance with a sexy vampire twist. I loved it!
