The book that I read was "Crimson Debt" Book one in the Born to Darkness Series, by Evangeline Anderson. If you have a serious love of PnR and you haven't read this series you're seriously missing out. All three of the stories are extremely well written and the characters are fully developed. There were three things that stand out in this series. First, they are full length reads, not those books that you can breeze through in a solid 30 minutes. Second, Evangeline takes the time to craft a story where the conflict is not rushed and it's outcome unpredictable. There's nothing worse that reading a story and knowing the ending as soon as you finish the first chapter. Thirdly, the Good Good is OFF THE CHARTS!
All of the leading ladies and their men are unique, I also like the fact that the author writes one of the ladies as AA. Yes, I'm partial, what can I say. Her Character is in the third book "Ruby Shadows", and her name is Gwendolyn and her leading hottie's name is Laish. Ok, I don't do spoilers, but I will tell you this. Laish will seriously do some damage to your pulse! That's all I can say!
Evangeline Anderson has a crazy number of published works to her credit and I'm looking forward to reading every single one!
Much Love!
Born to Darkness, Book 1
Addison Godwin is a Non-Glam—one of the one in ten thousand
humans who is immune to vampire glamour and mind tricks. Her gift enables her
to work as an Auditor, enforcing the law that vampires and humans keep their
distance from each other except in a purely non-physical way. The law is
necessary because when a vampire tries to have sex with a human their
blood-lust combines with their sexual appetite and the result looks like road
kill.
Alec Corbin is a Four Star Master Vampire with piercing blue
eyes and intentions to get Addison into his bed. He promises he can be gentle
but Addison has seen way too many vamp/human crime scenes to go for that. She
has no interest in the six foot four hunk of sexy vampire man candy, even if he
is supernaturally hot.
But just because she Audits (and sometimes executes)
vampires for a living, doesn’t mean she hates them all. Her best friend,
Taylor, was turned against her will. Now, living as a slave to one of the
crueler Master vamps in town, she leads a miserable existence and Addison is
helpless to save her within the confines of the law.
Things come to a head when the Vampire Inquisitor comes to
town and Taylor is given to him as a sex slave. When Addison sees her best
friend tortured, beaten, and burned with silver she knows she has to do
something—even if it means teaming up with Corbin and paying the Crimson Debt.
Scarlet Heat
Born to Darkness, Book 2
Taylor is a vampire—but she doesn’t want to be. Turned
against her will by her sadistic mistress, Celeste, she has been living a
miserable life of bondage and abuse for the past six years. Finally, through
the help of her best friend Addison, Taylor is rescued but she can’t relax for
long. In order to save her from an even worse fate, she is married off to
Victor—a very reluctant groom who just happens to be a werewolf.
Victor doesn’t want to be responsible for the fledgling
vampire, no matter how beautiful she is. Especially when he finds out he is the
only one she can drink from. But aside from the strange arousal that overtakes
him every time she sinks her dainty fangs into his throat, he has other
problems to deal with…and a very big secret to hide.
Their marriage of convenience is only supposed to last for
three months but Victor and Taylor finds themselves drawn together by more than
the vows they took. But as their attraction grows, so does something else.
Inside Taylor, something is changing. She begins to have physical cravings she
has never had before, insatiable appetites that only Victor can satisfy.
Will she succumb to the madness growing within her or can
Victor save her from the Scarlet Heat?

Ruby Shadows
Born to Darkness, Book 3
Nothing is for free when it comes to demons…a fact that
Gwendolyn LaRoux finds out the hard way when she summons Laish, a minor demon
from the Shadow Lands to help her cook up a little black magic. Unfortunately
black magic has a way of growing and soon Gwendolyn finds herself drowning in
darkness. Still, she’s determined to clean up her own mess. But when a creature
from the Abyss enters our world and threatens her beloved grandmother,
Gwendolyn has to admit she needs help—which means summoning the infuriating
Laish, even though she swore never to call on him again.
Answering Gwendolyn’s incantations in a moment of boredom
was a mistake for a demon who keeps what little heart he has left under lock
and key. Laish immediately fell for the Creole beauty with jade green eyes and
creamy, café au lait skin and now he’s determined to have her—no matter what
the cost. And thanks to Gwendolyn’s sticky dilemma, the price just went up.
When it turns out that the intrepid witch must travel
through the Shadow Lands and close the door she left open to the Pit, she knows
at once she can’t make the dangerous journey on her own. Of course Laish is
more than willing to act as her escort and bodyguard…for a not-so-small fee.
Gwendolyn doesn’t want to use her body as a bargaining chip but the lustful
demon will accept no other form of currency. And since her grandmother’s life
is at stake, she has no choice. Little by little she must give in to his
demands.
As Gwendolyn and Laish travel further and further into the
interior of Hell, will he be able to keep her safe? And will she be able to
keep her innocence? Or with they lose themselves and each other among the… Ruby
Shadows?
Evangeline Anderson is a registered MRI tech who would
rather be writing. And yes, she is nerdy enough to have a bumper sticker that
says “I’d rather be writing.” Honk if you see her! She is thirty-something and
lives in Florida with a husband, a son, and two cats. She had been writing
erotic fiction for her own gratification for a number of years before it
occurred to her to try and get paid for it. To her delight, she found that it
was actually possible to get money for having a dirty mind and she has been
writing paranormal and Sci-fi erotica steadily ever since.
