Product Description

When Regina's friends insist on setting her up on a 'Fantasy Fix' to help her get over her cheating ex, she dreams up some kinky out-of-this-world encounters that they could never possibly bring to life. But the next thing Regina knows, her friends have got her laced into a shiny black corset, tight leather pants, and a sexy pair of stilettos. It's time for some downtown vampire-fantasy fun...The Vampire Ball in Manhattan's East Village isn't really Dmitri Vidame's idea of a good time, but as a member of the Council that governs The Others, he has to keep an eye on all the young vamps who prey on the pretenders. After he feasts his dark eyes on fiery Regina at the bar, he knows that he must have her. But for the first time Dmitri meets a woman who is more than a match for his indomitable will. And he may be the fantasy Regina hoped for...until she - and her feisty friends discover her sexy new lover's bloodsucking secret.

Customer Reviews

Truly awful addition to this series and the genre. To be avoided.
I have enjoyed all of Christine Warren's 'The Others' series and this book is supposed to be the 6th in the series. However, it reads as a soft-porn trashy novel written years before she had refined her writing abilities. This is perhaps true as the previous reviewer referred to it being an e-book in the past. What plot actually exists is minimal and could be wirtten on a postage stamp. Apart from the disappointment of the book not being anywhere near the standard of the others in the series, the relationship between Regina (Reggie!) and her new vamp lover Dmitri (Russian, arrogant) is very unpleasant. It is way beyond the Alpha male territory, verging on rape as Dmitri physically and mentally overpowers Regina so that she is begging for him and will do anything for him. Dmitri also feeds from Regina, clouding her mind so that she doesn't know what he has done - vampire rape. The first 102 pages cannot be read quickly enough as they complete their first marathon (obviously) sex session. Neither is it enought to say that Regina likes to be submissive in bed. Finally, when Regina does find out Dmitri is a vampire it takes her 5 minutes before she asks to be made one as well.
I would not recommend this book to anyone; for a far better example of the genre, read the Kerrelyn Sparks vampire series, or even the earlier Christine Warren ones. I resent parting with money for what is probably the worst book in the paranomral genre I have read in 2008.

Not a patch on the 'Others'!
A previous reviewer has said most of what I wanted to say - it reads like soft porn, verges on 'vampire rape' ...
What I wanted to add is that this book really lacks something I have found in all her other books in the 'Others' series. Humour. There is a strong thread of wit and sparkle in her other books that just ... isn't there... in this one. The characters in this book are very one-dimensional and I couldn't really work up any interest in them. At all.

It's quite boring really!

Lots of mundane, boring sex, little or no story, plot or humour
This is by far the worst Christine Warren book I have read. The first sex scene starts about 5 pages in, and ends on page 103 - and its boring. The story is very weak, with a "bad guy" (girl) who is defeated in two pages right at the end, having barely been alluded to during the book. It is set before the rest of the "Others" stories, so the infrequent mention of familiar characters is disorientating rather than interesting. All this and a heroine who describes herself as a strong woman, yet cries at the drop of a hat, and a vampire "hero" who uses mind control to get the heroine into bed within minutes of meeting her - way too close to rape to be remotely appealing. A total waste of both money buying it, and time reading it.
