Blurb:

Samuel is a centuries-old vampire who prefers to be a recluse. He is always afraid of losing control and becoming the monster he once was. Falling in love with a young witch has pushed his boundaries and pulled him out of his comfort zone.

Katerina always encourages Samuel to be more open, to let loose, and to really "live" instead of only existing in the shadows.

One night, he finally grants her wish . . . in ways she never imagined.

Review:

Katerina is a young witch looking for more passion from Samuel, her vampire boyfriend, who is afraid of unleashing his true self. In a startling turn of events, Samuel tries to scare Katerina away by showing her exactly what she’s been asking for.

This was just a quick, saucy, little read that was quite fun. The story starts off with Kat giving Samuel a heck of a hummer in a valiant effort to loosen him up. Katerina was my kind of girl. Save the warm and sweet for s’mores, just give me the hot sauce, baby. There was a history with Samuel and Kat that was briefly touched on, and I would definitely like to follow up on these two. Samuel evidently has some authority issues that we are not privy to in this little snippet. Samuel did not however, have in issues in the bedroom, when he finally uncapped his fangs and let loose. For under 13 pages, this was quite a firecracker of a story.

Fabulous Reviews for An Unexpected Evening

The positive reviews keep rolling in- I'm so excited. Readers want more of Samuel and Katerina. It's awesome when the only negative thing readers say about the story is that it's too short. That's great because it means they want more- and more is coming. I'm working on it now.


The reviews-

This one is from Selena at The Enchanted Book-who gave it 5 out of 5 Books

So does it deliver? Hell, yeah. An Unexpected Evening is smoking hot. The action begins with the first line and doesn't let up for the entire 5000 words. Roxanne Rhoads includes a little kink, as she stated on another site, and the result is a very erotic short story.

In addition, the storytelling part of the story is interesting also. This isn't just sexy but an introduction to what seems to be a story the author plans to continue in future stories. I hope so because I liked both Samuel and Katerina from the first page. He's sexy as all hell, and she seems to be a perfect match for him.

I look forward to reading more about this vampire and his witch in the future. As an erotic short story, An Unexpected Evening is all that one can ask for in that genre, except I wish it were just a little longer.

This one is from Diana at Book of Secrets-

An Unexpected Evening is a tantalizing short story about a night of passion between the vampire Samuel and his beloved witch Katerina. The two have been together for some time, but Samuel has held back his true aggressive, dominant nature in fear of hurting Katerina. She finally persuades him to let go and be himself. The result is an unexpected evening of wickedly hot kinky sex.

Yet there is more going on in this tale than just the physical passion. We discover that Samuel is struggling to come to terms with his violent past; Katerina is descended from a family of witches, yet she is late in realizing her powers; and there is a killer terrorizing the streets of the city, and because of his frequent "blackouts," Samuel is afraid he may be involved.

Because this was a brief 13-page story, An Unexpected Evening felt like a precursor of things to come. We are introduced to two intriguing characters who obviously have more going on than what we see on the surface. This story establishes the steamy chemistry and the newfound trust between Samuel and Katerina. We are now left to wonder where the author will take the suspense element of the story in the future. I received this story for free from the author as part of her book tour.

Favorite Quote: "A relationship full of sweetness, wine, and roses could get dull after awhile, without the occasional scratch from a thorn. I loved thorns. And I loved Samuel."

Rating: 3.5 out of 5

A Fangtastic Review for An Unexpected Evening

Jody at Words of Wisdom from the Scarf Princess has reviewed An Unexpected Evening- and given it a score of an A along with a very fabulous and insightful review.

I'll be at Words of Wisdom tomorrow for an interview and giveaway so make sure to drop by- also be sure to read the review.

Here's a snippet:

This is a very quick yet intense read about letting go and embracing who you are. For vampire Samuel, letting go is not something he wants to do. After being forced to hurt others by his sire, he's now on his own and never wants to hurt anyone again. Keeping control of himself is difficult though when falling in love with sexy witch Katerina. Katerina believes in his gentleness and just wants him to let loose and one night's gentle lovemaking soon leads to fireworks and Samuel showing her what a vampire's really capable of. This one explosive night affects both of them greatly, with Katerina discovering new witching powers and Samuel becoming more concerned that unsolved murders in the community might involve him.

This is a really sexy tale. Despite its brevity, the tale gives you some information on the characters and their backstory. But what’s really important is their present. And it couldn’t get any hotter. The sex scene is hot to begin with… and just gets hotter! I would definitely like to read more about these characters – more please!
