Dark Velvet
Chateau Seductions Part 1
Grad student Savannah Evans is thrilled to be accepted as a resident to a prestigious art colony. Where else would she be able to focus on her craft of writing poetry in a setting like that of the medieval-styled castle? The remote New England island is a respite from her hectic city life. When she meets her benefactor, a mysterious French sculptor, her expectations for carefree days writing near the ocean are distracted by unprofessional fantasies about her sponsor.
Antoine Chevalier built Les Beaux Arts on DeRoche Island to bring purpose back to an existence that has lost meaning. He’s wandered the earth for decades and finds solace in returning to art. When Savannah applies for a residency, something about her words touches him. After her arrival, a physical attraction grows between them, which he struggles against. She deserves more than someone of his kind.
Antoine proposes they become lovers during her stay. But the situation turns complicated when Savannah discovers his secret. She had suspicions about his identity, but finds the truth overwhelming. Consumed by her desire for Antoine and faced with a tough decision, she is blind to the danger that has arrived at DeRoche Island.

Dark Velvet by Lisa CarlisleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
Savannah knows she shouldn't want him, after all he is her benifactor. But she can't deny the heat that keeps intensfying more and more each day. Waiting for when it will all boil over.
He trys to keep her away from him espically after she learns his secrets, but what she feels she can't let go of.
Antoine is sexy and mysterious and with the way he is you just want to know more about him. Watching as he allows Savannah in you just wanted them to find happiness together.
Savannah has a way with words and knows what she wants, but is smart enough to think things through rather than rush in head first.
Lots of hot steamyness between these two and a bit of danger made this a fun afternoon read.

Gina is shy and a bit of an introvert she is happy with her work as a painter but has come to the Island to decide if she can really make a career out of it or if she should finish college and make painting a hobby.
Dante is trying to decompress after things fell apart with his band. He came to figure out his next step, not fall for a beautiful woman who is a bit akward at times around people. But before anything could really happen between them he has a secret and once she finds it out she may not want to be with him anyways. Should he take a chance?
Dante before he came to the island was your typical rock star, but after he is a total sweetie. He is strong and caring a a protector although he has tried to protect his secret sometimes someone is bound to find out, and when it comes out he will have some decisions to make.
Gina comes out of her shell throughout the story and you see how just being with him helps her. She is cautious at times but at other she just enjoys living life and the balance between the two is interesting to watch.
We see more of the danger from book one and how it plays into things in their story a bit.
And you will definetly need a fan to cool you off from some of the scenes between the two!!!
Dark Stranger by Lisa CarlisleMy rating: 4 of 5 stars
The wolves have come and now they will have to defend the students from the danger they pose. Or do they?
Camerson did what he had to when a wolf came in and attacted people weeks ago. Now others have come to get answers, but will they rush into a war or will they hear them out about what happened.
Captivating and alluring are two things Nadya should be thinking about the human who has overpowered. Plus there's that other thing.....but no that's not possible.
When the two find themselves alone together they will both learn things they may not be able to forget. The question is will they want to?
Camerson is quiet and a bit geeky and as you've seen him throughout the series so far if you're like me you've wanted to know more about him. Now that we do I love him!!! I enjoyed learning his back story, and even more seeing him find someone to be with even if it wasn't who he would have expected.
Nadya is cautious at times but at others rushes in head first. She was hard to figure out at first, but I enjoyed learning about her throughout.
There is tension between them and it leads to some hot and heavy times. Good quick read.
