A centuries old vampire, Seaton DeBlaise is the owner of a "Vampire Only" social club. With some experimentation he has come up with something different. Exotics, human blood mixed with an enzyme that enhances vampiric powers and adds to their sexual experience. These special brews have made the club very popular with the creatures of the night. One night a woman enters his club, she reminds him of Phillippa, his love of centuries that has been dead fifty years now.

Ghislaine Mignon is a beautiful blonde vampire that has specifically targeted Seaton for revenge. Believing that he is evil and has to be brought to justice, she has agreed to be the instrument of that comeuppance. After meeting him, Ghislaine is confused, he isn't anything like she was told he was. Seaton is kind, caring and after their initial meeting Ghislaine has to run to straighten out in her mind the fact that she has been lied to.

Intensely drawn to one another Ghislaine and Seaton quickly become lovers and soon after fall in love. Seaton knows that Ghislaine is holding something back, something she is afraid to let him know. He decides to be patient and let her tell him when she is ready. Ghislaine wants to tell him of how she came to be in his club and the reason behind her being there. He may never forgive her if she tells him of Aubrey and his plan of revenge.

Blood Songs is a novella that has elements of lust, love and betrayal. Delphyne DeRouge has packed a lot into 31 pages, but I would have preferred that she fleshed out the characters more. In this story Ghislaine had no past and how she got involved in Aubrey's plot of revenge was not touched on. Blood Songs is a quick and enjoyable read.

Lacy Cutter and Robert Selwood had grown up together. They had gone from best friends to lovers. Robert wanted more, but Lacy always said no whenever he asked her to marry him. Lacy was always drawn to the bad boys, and Robert just wasn't one. But Lacy also couldn't imagine life without Robert.

Robert's father owned The Royale Resort, and Lacy was the new manager. There was a lot to do to get the resort back up to par since the last manager, Gina, left. A guest insisted on registering early for a room then later called down and demanded towels. Having no one else to send, Lacy goes up to Suite 302 and after the guest called come in, Lacy walked in to see John Ivers standing talking on the phone in the nude. He is the perfect bad boy, body and all.

Robert Selwood had fought against joining the family business, but once he did he found he loved it. Now it was even better since Lacy worked with him. Robert had never had any problems getting girls, but his heart was set on Lacy. Now that she was working with him, he was not going to let anyone stand in his way of finally marrying Lacy.

Will Lacy succumb to John Ivers advances? Will Robert finally get what he wants? Will Suite 302 ever be the same?

Ms. Allcott and Ms. DeRouge combine their skills to create a great erotic short story that will have you impatient to get to the next page to see what else is going to happen. This is one hot quickie. The relationship between Lacy and Robert runs the spectrum, friendship, co-workers, and finally lovers. Don't pass this one up.
