I am amazed at the awesome reviews coming in for Bound in Lust.  Here’s the most recent.  From Whipped Cream:

Bound In Lust may be short, but it packs a powerful burst of sensual heat, interesting world building and two characters that are explosive together.

Elena is a pawn in a game she has no knowledge of. She has talents and needs that she’s only beginning to know.

Drake is a lust demon who knows the game but not all the players. He is the only one who can save Elena but it means risking himself for the first time, and for a human female no less.

Dawn’s characterization is a perfect balance for such a short piece. I was able to appreciate Elena’s vulnerability yet I got glimpses of her strengths that the enemy has no knowledge of and Drake is all too willing to use.

Drake is a ‘man’ who is so long-lived, he should have been filled with ennui, but finds himself feeling things he doesn’t dare name. I guess I like men of mystery. The tease of a male who is sexy and strong, who knows something and who leaves you unsure if they are good, bad or in that gray area where a man has to be bad to be good.

What Drake does in order to save Elena should make you hot and bothered as well as eager to read more because it certainly did that to me.  

You might decide that Elena’s amorphous acceptance of her new status in life might have been too easily won, but I don’t feel that way. I think Elena is adaptable and most importantly, in love with Drake; she just hasn’t faced her heart yet in this installment.

To say the ending took me by surprise is an understatement. What was the surprise?
It ended.

Bound in Lust is written well enough that it has me hooked solid for the next installment. What in the world is going to happen in the second book,Bound in Fury? How hot is the fire going to burn between Elena and Drake? And is the betrayer who I think it is and once Drake finds out, how is it going to affect him? Will it cripple him? Will Elena have to save Drake?

This is so exciting! Dawn has written a wonderful tale in an unusual world where demons are not cliché,the characters have substance and the erotic heat makes you crave to read more.

And I do want more.

Normally I don’t post a review in its entirety.  However, I’ve recently received emails from people whose work servers have blocked blogspot, wordpress, and livejournal.  How you can get to my site and not the free blogs is a mystery to me.  *huge grin*  I do ask that you go to whipped cream and give them some love!  Their reviews are thorough and fun.  And to date I’ve agreed with most of them.  A rarity for me, to be sure!

Hope everyone is having a great weekend!
