Hi Kristina,

I have to own the fact that, yes, I am a vampire junkie. I used to tell people that I wasn't, but I recently looked at the books and DVDs I own and finally admitted it to myself.

I just finished watching the full season of Moonlight and One of my favorite authors is Laurell K Hamilton. less

So since I'm kind of bursting at the seams about this one, I also loved The Student by Sommer Marsden (I love everything she writes), Red by Any Other Name by Kathleen Bradean, and Blood and Bootleg by Teresa Noelle Roberts.

And there was one story that, for whatever reason, didn't overly thrill me when I initially read the book - Devouring Heart by Andrea Dale. Now I love Andrea Dale to begin with, but after I read this, this story just kind of stuck in my mind and I would end up thinking about it during the day at work and such and the more I thought about it, the more powerful the plot became and it's almost like a dark, twisted Romeo and Juliet type plot in the end to me...or like an erotic, morbid, Gift of the Magi. less

Welcome once again to the Naked Reader Book Club! Tonight we're discussing The Sweetest Kiss: Ravishing Vampire Erotica, edited by D.L. King.

Sweetest Kiss: Ravishing Vampire Erotica

Edited by D.L. King

Sex with a bite.

Immortal, eternally beautiful, strong, and sexy, vampires take what they need, stealing the life force from those unlucky (or lucky) enough to cross their paths. Edited by noted erotica writer D.L. King, The Sweetest Kiss takes readers into shadowy alleys and dark bedrooms to experience the frisson of terror and delight that only a vampire can inspire. Satisfying their lust in contemporary and period settings, the seductive creatures of The Sweetest Kiss join a growing cast of characters that mesmerize us in every medium, from books and graphic novels to movies and television shows. These blood-drenched tales give us new meaning to the term "dead sexy" and feature beautiful bloodsuckers whose desires go far beyond blood.

***

Vampires are dangerous, mysterious and always, always sexy. It seems appropriate that we talk about vampire stories in October, but the allure of the vampire goes beyond Halloween. Whether you've read The Sweetest Kiss or not, this is the place to talk about your passion for those darkly erotic denizens of the night! Tell us which stories you enjoyed, what it is about vampires that makes your blood boil and why you think the appeal of the vampire has not only endured, but exploded in the past few years. WIth the canon of vampiric erotica growing, this is a discussion that promises to continue late into the night!

Everyone is welcome in the Naked Reader Book Club, so pour yourself a glass of red and let's talk about vampires! less

Hey everyone! I'm baaaack

Welcome D.L.! So glad you are joining us from Vegas - hope your hotel is comfy!


Since I ran away at the beginning of the month and wasn't able to announce our prize winners from the last two weeks—I thought it would be fun to announce them randomly tonight. And if I don't get too carried away into the conversation, I will announce tonight's winners too!

So, now you all must hang on my every word—you never know when I'll be giving away something!

I love Teresa's work, as well and Blood and Bootleg is one of the most unusual stories I've had the pleasure to read! I'm not giving anything away here, because I know they've mentioned this all over the place, but Teresa Noelle Roberts and Andrea Dale, together, are Sophie Mouette. Their Sophie Mouette stories are a beautiful blend of the both of them. less
