The Vampire Narcise by Colleen Gleason
REGENCY ENGLAND STANDS DEFIANT AGAINST NAPOLEON. BUT BATTLES AMONG MEN MEAN LITTLE TO THOSE WHO LIVE FOREVER—ESPECIALLY WHEN THE DRACULE ARE WAGING THEIR OWN WAR.

Skilled in the seduction of men, both mortal and immortal, Narcise Moldavi is the greatest weapon in her twisted brother’s war among the Dracule. Until she falls for Giordan Cale.

Her first searing encounter with Giordan seals their fierce connection for their eternal lives. But Giordan’s vow to help Narcise escape her brother’s rule is followed by a betrayal more agonizing than sunlight.

Wounded but determined, Narcise ensnares vampire hunter Chas Woodmore in her quest for revenge and to reclaim her life. He wants her, worships her, will kill for her. And the Dracule never forget a wrong— nor do they forgive.

RRAH's THOUGHTS AND PONDERINGS:

I truly love Colleen Gleason's style of writing.  She gives us paranormal books from a different perspective than a lot of the other he-loves-her-he-bites-her-she-can't-get-enough-all-of-a-sudden paranormals that are out there.  Her books are solid; they are full of depth and rich emotion, not to mention strong, virile characters. 

THE VAMPIRE NARCISE is another of Ms. Gleason's books that just really stands out for me.  The inner strength of Narcise is amazing; the things she has been through and endured are outrageous.  The betrayal by Giordan is so heartbreaking, it took my breath away.  The love that Chas has for Narcise is such a bittersweet love, in my opinion, because it had the feel of a "means to an end" for Narcise at some points.  The reasons behind the betrayal, the play between the characters, the intensity of the emotions—absolutely fabulous. 

THE VAMPIRE NARCISE is perfect for a warm summer evening and a tall glass of wine.  Be prepared to need a few hours at the least, because putting it down once you have started, is nearly impossible.
