Love Bites

by Angela Knight

The New York Times bestselling author explores her most daring side yet in three tales of seductive vampires and the women who love them.

In the brand-new “Oath of Service,” Angela Knight introduces the Doms of the Round Table and a kinky circle of pleasure, pain, and power as she returns to her “sexy as hell” (Heroes and Heartbreakers) Mageverse world for a new twist on the Arthurian legend.

Morgana le Fay finally gets what’s coming to her in this novel-length story. After a fight with a dragon goes wrong, Morgana takes an Oath of Service to Percival, vampire Knight of the Round Table. Percival and his partners, Cador and Marrok, decide to give Morgana a taste of bondages and submission she’ll never forget. What they don’t know is that the lovely witch is keeping secrets that could destroy them all. To make matters worse, the dragon is plotting a deadly revenge….

In “Be Careful What You Wish For,” a beautiful vampire and her two vamp lovers lock horns with a wizard with the ugly habit of refusing to take no for an answer. When he casts a spell on Beau and Decker, Amanda finds herself the object of both men’s lust. She’s had some yummy threesome fantasies along the same lines, but since the men hate each other, she figured it was never going to happen. But when it does, things get a lot more kinky than Amanda expects.   

In “The Bloodslave,” Angela Knight’s classic “must read…highly erotic” (*The Best Reviews) novella, a female mercenary comes under fire during a hunt. The beautiful, virginal, and very human Verica is captured by three hungry alpha vampires driven deliriously feral by her purity. But they desire more than her warm blood. They want her body, leaving Verica more vulnerable than ever before—and loving every minute of it.

[Cocktails and Books]

The stories in this anthology get progressively hotter. The first story, Oath of Service, is part of her popular Mageverse series, a series I’ve followed since the beginning. They’ve always been a bit spicier than most mainstream. This anthology takes that spicy and ramps it up to erotic. I really loved this novella, it was very sexy and kinky.

Morgana la Fay has avoided being alone with Percival for years, he’s the one man she’d happily submit to. When things go wrong, and she’s required to swear an oath of service to Percy or be reassigned to another team, she submits to him.

Percy and Morgana are meant to be, and his partners come in and spend some time in bed with Percy and Morgana. I enjoyed the menage between the four of them, and the love that blossoms between Percy and Morganna.

The next story, Be Careful What you Wish For, is a short story where two men who both lust after the same vampiress, find themselves in the situation that allows them to follow through on their lust. It’s a quick and hot story. I really enjoyed the story and I wouldn’t mind seeing these three again.

The last story, is a Sci-Fi vampire short and it has the feel of old bodice rippers. The heroine, is kidnapped by the vampires and enticed to become their bloodslave. That’s a human that becomes part vampire and it allows her to feed the vampires that are part of her group. Bloodslave is probably the steamiest and most erotic story in the set. It was the shortest story and was a quick steamy romp, with lots of BDSM elements.

Overall, I really enjoyed seeing the erotic side of Angela Knight. Especially the longer Mageverse novella, I loved that I got Morgana’s story and that it was an erotic romance. The other short stories were also good, and I recommend this anthology.
