Mikael De Wohlf has lived the better part of his life as a ruthless, vicious vampire. Only one person, Annabella Micelli, has managed to sooth his vampire ire to warm what is left of his soul. But Annabella despises the way Mikael lives, the way he metes out justice, the way he has brought about the downfall of his enemies. How can he turn her disgust into lust and then maybe into love?

My Review -

Blood Red is the first book in the Chronicles of the Cursed series by Aline de Chevigny that follows a powerful vampire Mikael De Wohlf and his personal assistant Annabella who tries to avoid his advances despite her attraction. This was a fun, short read revolving a vampire who can have any woman he desires because of his good looks, charm and power and a woman who despises his past and his tactics as being ruthless with his enemies. Yet Mikael is drawn to her and finds that his heart becomes alive whenever she is around and wishes to make her his. Annabella on the other hand has been fighting off the feelings that he invokes in her for quite some time but feels that he cannot give her what she truly desires. Over time she now finds her defenses slowing breaking down as Mikael is determined to show her pleasure beyond her wildest dreams.

It was enjoyable to see the building sexual tension develop in the story that results in them unleashing their passion upon each other. There is an interesting twist regarding vampire mythology that the author introduces near the end of the story that is intriguing and I will leave for you the reader to discover.
