"Great vampire romance"

Sensuality--NC17 Descriptive sex

As a vampire who is one-fourth human, Gillian is rather unpredictable. When her time to mate arrives four years early, her mentor, Lord Volnar, chooses a mate for her, It's unfortunate that she despises his choice and demands her right to choose her own.

As it happens, the choice is taken from her when she finds herself taking refuge with Paul, who is her partner in a series of children's books. He is an ephemeral, and ephemera she has been raised to think of only as a food source or, at most, a pet. She has recently found herself having dreams about him that include feeding and petting, but not quite in the way she used to think of them concerning him. The main problem now is, will Paul have what it takes to satisfy a vampire woman in heat? And when he finds out the true reasons behind her feelings for him, will he ever be able to trust her again? After all, what does love have to do with anything in a relationship like this.

NIGHT FLIGHT is a superb story in which the 'vampires' are actually another species with many vampire-type characteristics. The heroine is young (for a vampire), but wise and the hero's actions are quite believable. The few secondary characters are well portrayed without over-shadowing the main two. A fast read, highly enjoyable.
