"A Hot Vampire Romance"

Cowboy has come to her in her dreams ever since she can remember. When her parents were killed and she dreamed of monsters and vampires, it was always cowboy that came to the rescue. As she got older, her dreams of cowboy became more romantic and sexual but suddenly as she was dreaming of him making passionate love to her, he turned into a vampire and was coming to her with teeth extended. This was a new twist and Valerie is frightened even though she knows he is only a dream.

Cade McKinnon had a mind fusion with Valerie when she was a child and even though he is a vampire, he has tried to protect her and her sister, Beth, and has come to her in her dreams as cowboy. Cade has been freed from his former evil master, Ridgemont, but Ridgemont is older and still much more powerful along with his minion, Hirsch. With the smell of peppermint is the little ghost, Abigail, who hovers around Cade and who loves him and tries to protect him.

Little does Valerie realize her psychic power and little does she realize why she got fired from her job and hired by Ridgemont to write his memoirs. She leaves for New York to start her new job where the evil vampire is waiting and where Cade is determined to love and protect her but is he powerful enough to defeat the older vampire? Cade meets her at the airport; she recognizes her dream man, Cowboy, and the adventure begins.

THE FOREVER KISS flows well with good characters and an interesting plot. How can you help but like the handsome Cade who ignores his own pain to protect and love the mortal woman? I also enjoyed Abby who died as a young girl and is determined to protect her older brother. Ridgemont and Hirsch are sufficiently evil so that the reader can hiss and boo when they approach the hero and heroine. The story has a fresh look at vampires that dispel some of the myths and the romance is very scorching between the protagonists with many love scenes.

If you enjoy vampires and a lot of hot sex, you are sure to enjoy THE FOREVER KISS.
