In House of Immortal Pleasures, Daphne's friends take matters into their own hands and decide to get her past the hump of moving on after a bad relationship. Their answer to the problem? A trip to a local brothel staffed by vampires. I didn't particularly like how aggressive her friends were in pushing her into a sexual situation she wasn't ready for, but the vampire involved was decidely yummy! Kinder and sweeter and more sincere than anything she had known in her previous relationship, she quickly fell for him, and, unexpectedly, he for her. The ending was a little abrupt for me, but romantic in it's own way.
I think Karma & Melodies was my favorite of the three, by far the most romantic. Kendra is a sweet girl, caught in the middle of a life she had never imagined. She has finally escaped the brutal life she has been living and finds the man she had loved as a human. Things come to an unexpected end, but it ends in a happy way. I would love this story as a lead in to more, because both Daphne and Marcus were really engaging characters.
Halloween Fantasies, the final story in the anthology, is also the hottest. It's Halloween and Sasha and her friend have gone to the local fetish ball where Sasha meets the man of her fantasies, a real-life vampire. An unexpected turn gives Sasha a surprise she never imagined. Definately of the dark and brooding, but sexy vampire genre, this one is the scorcher of the trio!
