Bond of Fire

Bond of Fire Cover

 

Synopses & Reviews

Publisher Comments:

"What do you get when you cross the Crusades, incredible, sensuous story"** called Bond of Blood. Now Diane Whiteside, "the master of erotic prose" (**Booklist) turns up the Texas heat once again. In this exciting novel she revisits that landscape of fiery seduction while exploring the centuries-old love affair between vampire knight Jean-Marie St. Just and vampire firestarter and secret agent Hlne d'Agelet. But Hlne finds her passion for Jean-Marie threatened once again, this time by an unsettled family legacy of revenge.

Review:

"This audacious second installment of the Texas Vampire series (after Bond of Blood) blends European and American history and contemporary paranormal romance into a shockingly heady brew. Beautiful widow Hlne d'Agelet fell hard for Jean-Marie St. Just, George Washington's former spymaster turned compaero — enslaved by blood — to the sister of powerful vampiro mayor Don Rodrigo Perez. The Napoleonic wars disrupted their affair, and after an explosive espionage incident involving Hlne's sister, double agent Celeste de Sainte-Pazanne, Hlne and Jean-Marie believed each other dead for centuries. Celeste's lover, Raoul, killed her parents, so Hlne killed Raoul. Now the sisters, both of whom have become vampiras, are hunting each other down, bent on revenge. Filling the story with explosions and blood and the prose with enough French, Spanish and purely invented terms to require a glossary, Whiteside merrily rampages through history and vampire lore, building an impressively sturdy and compelling narrative from the wreckage." Publishers Weekly (Copyright Reed Business Information, Inc.)
