Vampires are nevertheless very hot in paranormal romance, and paranormal erotic romance. So often so the publishers are first to say it's going out of title? I seriously doubt that. I for one still enjoy them. And i've found another paranormal world for you to explore.
Common Ground* comprises the 5th volume in Paranormal Erotic Romance author Lex Valentine`s Tales of the Darkworld series. This time out she tells the story of Vampire Marius Granville and Sair McCallan, a Scottish werewolf and member of a pack lead by her overbearing (and in some cases downright cruel) brother Ruan. Sair is a liberal spirit, having left her brother behind and moved to America, and glad to be out from under him. Marius is . . . well, a bit of a stuffed shirt, and the manager of the township cemetery.
Yet they are fated soul mates so despite his usual reserve, Marius can`t look to conceive of anything but Sair, and their instantaneous attraction and the hot lust that blooms between them. Much to the storm of everyone Marius knows. It`s not long before the two are completely plastered with each other. Even though Sair brings in some friends for a "ahem" little weekend distraction,something Marius has never triedbefore, a foursome. What will his friends and family thinkwhen they see this of the staid cemetary director???
These two might take a time finding some common ground though, once their secrets come out. Or will they? You`ll get to take this to get out.
Common Earth was a really hot read, though at some points in the story, I take to admit, I was overwhelmed at the shape of characters she threw at me. But I`m a new reader to this series, so maybe that`s why. There are a superfluity of paranormal species involved from vampires and werewolves, to elves, and a new species Ms. Valentine invented in this series, the Magia, making it a refreshing new construction on the paranormal worlds one usually sees in the Paranormal romance genre. All in all Common Earth was slow to get into, interesting, and yes, I for one, enjoyed it. Fans of both that and hot romances should know this one too.
My place? I did love it, so
