Phantom Desires
Dmitri Belakov enters the scorching hot dreams of the woman who just bought the farmhouse that rests above his secret lair.

The only GREAT thing about this book is the cover. The only MILDLY interesting story in this book was the 3rd story. But overall every single character in all 3 stories were two dimentional. Including the vampires! I did not care for any of these couples really. The plots were shallow in the 1st 2 stories, the 3rd didn't even have a plot, but it was the more interesting one out of the 3. (how does that happen?!) Basically this one is just an excuse to write about a whole bunch of NOTHING with tasteless Porn sex, and horrible dialog.

Emotionally romantic
The stories highlighted the friendships not just between the women, but also between the immortal men. Highly erotic and sexy. If you like your vampire stories with a lot of sex you will love this serirs.

Brotherhood of Blood
ONE AND ONLY
Atticus Maxwell has been alive longer than any person should be and if he could have anything after all his time here it would be to find his One. Over the centuries Atticus has reinvented himself many times but it is getting harder as the years pass without finding his mate, the one person who could once again bring meaning to his life and share in his eternity.
Lissa Adams is at a crossroad. She has just lost her job due to company downsizing so has decided to attend a Professional Conference to get her networking and hopefully help her with her career.
When Lissa nears the shuttle to take her to the conference she senses danger but she also senses something much different and then she sees him. Pushing away the danger Lissa boards the shuttle more intrigued by the man captivating her vision than the danger her physic is telling her to heed. The shuttle had been a last minute decision for Atticus but now he is aboard he is distracted by the strange noise coming from the engine that is until he stepped on the mysterious woman who had invaded his thoughts. Atticus and Lissa boarded the shuttle not knowing each other but fate will make sure they realise they were both there for a reason and now their lives will be entwined forever.
I enjoyed the first instalment to this series by Bianca D'arc. One and Only is a novella length book and contains all of the foundations for the start of a great series.

One And Only
A really hot read, I adored this book. She is a good writer of erotic romances, and her characters are well drawn. I enjoyed the passion and the relationship between the Atticus and Lissa athough the whole falling in love thing was a bit rushed. But then, she didn't have much room to explore this in length. Pity really.
Rare Vintage
I enjoyed this book and would rate it a 3.5. I do wish it was longer though. I also enjoyed the dream-sex scene with the heroine and her two hot vampires Marc and Dmitri. Nicely done. I also liked the way their romance developed, it just needed more length in the text to be fully developed.
Phantom Desires
This to me was the most interesting. Partly because of the were element in the story, but also because Dmitri is so interesting with the history of his past and connections to Russian royalty and the Tudor court of Henry VIII.
But overall, all three books that make up this collection are hot, hot, hot. Some of them are a bit trite in the plot line, love comes so quickly that you are left breathless, and yet, I still enjoyed them for their sheer eroticism and pleasure. Excellent bedtime reading.
Re-read 28/09/2015. Coming back to this book again does make me cringe a bit. The women fall so easily in love. And the mystery of why three friends would find their mates in vampires [all friends again] is never explained. But still, a good, fun read.

First tale is One and Only which is Atticus and Lissa's story, than Rare Vintage which is Kelly and Marc's. To be honest the stories are pretty similar with only a few details to differentiate them as they have the same outcome. Guess will see how story 3 Phantom Desires measures up as Dimitri intrigued me with his short appearance in second installment.
As expected story 3 Phantom Desires which is Carly and Dimitri's followed again the same basic formula as the first two, will not be continuing further with the series even though did enjoy all three paranormal romances.

I feel like something was missing from this book, in as much as it is about vampires, and is suppose to be an erotic novel that it lacked that little something that could have made it hot. I mean really HOT. It could have been a Silouette Desire book and not listed as an Erotic work, very plain Jane.

This is actually 3 connected novellas. They were good, but pretty repetitive. I found it hard to believe that 3 girlfriends are ALL mates for various Vampires. That was more of a coincidence than I could believe.

re-read...enjoyed the book the second time around just as much as at the first read

Have read book one to three. They were enjoyable. The third is the best.
