Part One:
Vampire Dante Gabriel is starving. What he craves is red gold—human blood. After being held captive as a blood slave to a female vampire for years, he has finally escaped. Unchained at last, he follows his nose to the nearest blood bank to sate his hunger.
ER nurse Erin Hamilton expects just another busy night shift…until she finds a gorgeous stranger vandalizing the hospital blood bank. Though her logic tells her to turn him in, she’s pulled by stronger and unfamiliar emotions to protect the man who seems oddly infatuated with her scent. Chemistry sizzles between them, but Dante, plagued by nightmares of his time in captivity, fears he won’t be able to control himself…especially when he discovers a secret she doesn’t even know she’s hiding.
Part Two:
Dante Gabriel is angry. Someone has violated the woman whose scent has left him emotionally paralyzed, and he’s become unhinged. He vows to protect Erin Hamilton—mostly from himself.
Erin has other ideas. She’s determined to figure out the strange man who keeps leaving her aroused and unsatisfied. When she pushes Dante for answers, he goes looking for them himself. What he uncovers could put Erin in mortal danger, with him as her only salvation.
Part Three:
Now that Dante Gabriel recognizes the blood bond Erin Hamilton has formed with him, he has unwound a little. Still, he must find a way to convince her that she must complete the bond for both their sakes. Vampires are rapidly dying out, and humans have long considered them nothing more than a myth. How can he make her understand?
Erin has fallen in love with Dante, but she’s still confused and angered by his behavior. To keep her mind occupied, she immerses herself in a mystery that has evolved at work. Patients have been disappearing from the hospital, and Erin begins to wonder if one of the ER doctors might be involved.
Part Four:
Vampires are real. That fact has Erin Hamilton thinking she’s headed for crazy town. Still, she can’t deny the intense emotion she experiences when Dante Gabriel sinks his teeth into her neck to take her blood. She’s in love, and her body responds to his bite in a way she never could have imagined.
Once Dante tastes Erin’s blood, he’s addicted forever and cannot live without it. He’s heartbroken when she demands that he leave and never return. But neither can live without the other now, which puts them both at risk.
Part Five:
Once bonded, never broken. The words give Dante Gabriel hope…until he remembers where he first heard them. The information he needs is hidden in the ancient Vampyre Texts, but he encounters obstacle after obstacle while trying to decipher them, even when someone from his past returns to help.
Though she tries, Erin Hamilton can’t resist Dante. When he comes for her, she always submits willingly, despite her best intentions. She loves him but still can’t bring herself to accept him as vampire…even as other vampires, lured by her arousing scent, begin to close in on her.
Part One
Vampire Dante Gabriel escaped captivity only to come face to face with the realization that he knows nothing about his captor or even his own World. He lusts for blood, specifically her blood. Something in Erin calls to him but he can’t ever act on his impulses. Not if he wants to kill Erin.
Erin Hamilton is dedicated to her work. Why then does she not report the man ransacking the hospital’s blood bank? Her body & mind obey all his orders, her blood sings whenever he’s close. She doesn’t understand their connection but she knows she can’t get enough.
I love Dante SO MUCH. He has a lot to deal with and more to learn. But the way he’s drawn to Erin gives me tingles. He’s such a growly alpha. I love it.
This story is completely different from any other Vampire Romance I’ve ever read. The entire vampiric universe is new, exciting and utterly captivating. There’s so many mysterious and secrets that need to be solved and I am superbly excited for what’s to come.
Part Two
Dante’s struggles with coming to terms with the nightmares he’s suffered isn’t getting easier. To top that someone is after Erin but he can’t for the life of him figure out who it could possibly be. As his frustration grows, so does his blood lust and controlling himself is becoming a humongous task. But he’s determined to keep Erin safe even from himself.
Erin can’t understand Dante hot and cold behaviour. She just needs the man to give her what she wants or stay far away. But something is pulling them closer and closer everyday. They can’t figure out what it is nor can they stop it.
I am more confused and Holy Mother my theories are getting insane. I think I am at Dante’s frustration level but GOD IT IS SO GOOD. I am absolutely sucked and deeply invested in this World of Vampires.
Just when you thought you’d have answers the story takes an unexpected turn and now you are wondering how will you get on with your life. I love love love Dante and the way he’s drawn to Erin. It’s so hot, it makes me swoon and hyperventilate. I also have grown to love Erin and honestly can feel her frustration.
I can’t wait to see what all really is happening because seriously Dante and Erin just need to do the do and help us all out.
Part Three
Dante knows about the blood bond and that makes him question everything he feels for Erin. He needs to convince her to complete the bond or else their lives would be at risk. The Vampire race is on he verge of extinction and no human believes in them. How could her possibly explain all this to Erin? More than that how will her stop her from running away?
Erin doesn’t understand Dante’s behaviour but that didn’t stop her from falling for him. Things have started getting more and more suspicious at work and she’s determined to get to the root of it all. Unaware of the danger that surrounds her from all sides, Erin ventures deeper into the World of Vampires and bloodlust.
Omg?? If I thought things would get easier than I was dead wrong.
Dante is still his amazing brooding self and honestly I love his grump hate and cold routine because he can be sugary sweet too. His connection with Erin is so raw and pure, I can’t get enough of it. I keep worrying about Erin’s life constantly and it’s like please just make these two happy.
It feels like things are finally getting to the crucial point and I am desperate for the next installments. This story is super engaging and well written. Can’t wait to see more of Erin and Dante.
4 Stars!

Part 4
Vampires are real and Erin seems to be losing her damn mind. No matter what’s the truth she can’t even think about staying away from Dante. Her emotions are turned up to the max and nothing can stop what she feels when Dante sinks his teeth into her.He’s finally tasted her blood and now Dante can never have enough. Their lives are in danger and Erin pulling away hurts him more than anything.
This story just keeps getting more and more interesting. It’s getting convoluted and I am more curious than ever but there’s so much happening that you could never get bored.
Blood Bond is suspenseful, romantic, fast paced and so so delicious. I couldn’t get enough and I doubt I ever will. This world of vampires is unlike any I’ve ever read and honestly I feel reluctant putting the book down. We’re in the middle of the this epic story and everything can blow up at any minute. MORE MORE AND MORE!!!
Part 5
Dante is hell bent on finding more information from the ancient Vampyre Texts but some force is trying to stop him. He’s desperate for answers and his and Erin’s life depends on it.Erin tried so hard to resist Dante but giving in seems like the only thing that’ll bring her relief. But she still can’t seem to come to terms with Dante’s truth. Unfortunately, more vampires have been lured by her scent and she’s in more danger now than ever.
YOU GUYS SHIT JUST GOT REAL!!
I had goosebumps reading this book. It’s so good and I am officially addicted. The suspense got more and more intense and it felt like the book ended too soon. Erin and Dante are fighting so hard for their HEA and I just want to fight everything and give it to them.
There’s still a few more books to go and I am getting scared because why why can’t they just love each other and be happy and live on a peaceful beach? I can’t even imagine what more is in store for them but I’m sure as hell excited.
4 Stars!
