The Vampire Dimitri

Here's the official summary:

Dimitri, also known as the Earl of Corvindale, should be delighted that the headstrong Maia Woodmore is getting married. His mortal ward and houseguest has annoyed—and bewitched—the Dracule nobleman too long, and denying his animal cravings grows more excruciating by the day.

Miss Woodmore's family has a rather…complicated history with the immortals and she herself possesses a keen sensibility far beyond mere women's intuition. Marriage will give her safety, respectability and everything else a proper young lady could wish for. Everything, that is, except passion.

In the looming battle between Dracule factions, all pretenses will shatter as Maia and Dimitri come together in an unholy union of danger, desperation and fiercest desire.

Review

Colleen Gleason delivered with her regency vampire world. It is so lush and true to the period. The Vampire Dimitri has the same time line as The Vampire Voss. It was fascinating to read the same story from a totally different point of view. The characters from The Vampire Voss and the The Vampire Dimitri intersect and interact with each other as the stories progress. The more critical events were given more depth by the change in the narrative. When you think you know how a scene will play out based on the first book, it goes in a surprising direction that still fits within the confines of the overall plot. It was different way to approach writing a series. However, this only continues until about halfway through the book. After that a completely new content follows and it's filled with a lot of adventure.

There is a lot of adventure and a twist I did not expect. The characters are engaging and the love story crackles with passion and life.

I gave this book 4 out of 5
