I loved the storytelling + the characters.
This is Victor and Kimber’s story . Wow I love the way that this author has brought us another outstanding story ! With the very first page this one will grab you and not let go !! If you are like me once I start reading a book I can tell within the first chapter if I will enjoy it or not but I do have to say that I knew from the first page that I could not stop reading until the very end !! The Thirst hits poor Victor he knows he has to find his Bloodmate . Kimber is on the run trying to stay alive . These two are supposed to be enemies but fate has a different view on that one !!! This is well written and strongly recommended to all ! I so can not wait for more from this series !!
Oooooh I have a new vamp-crush!!!!
Victor is Strong by name and character! He may be an ancient vampire but he still wants a companion..the recent feeds from donors have done nothing to sate his appetite. When the most delectable aroma reaches him when he is asked for help by his doorman/friend, his thirst rises.
His faithful friend is worried about Victors unravelling control on his darker side. But when Victors damsel in distress is also a reminder of a friend from the past, he soon understands that she has some secrets of her own to hide.
Fabulous start to a new multi-author series. Victor could be too over-bearing I suppose for some but to me he was just the perfect balance. I loved the camaraderie he had with vampires and trusted humans alike. Now awaiting book 2!
WOW!!! A FABULOUS BEGINNING TO A NEW MUST READ VAMPIRE ROMANCE COLLECTION!!!

Wow!!! What a tasty treat for lovers of vampire romance and another perfect example of why I love, love, love A.K. Michaels! Have you ever heard the expression ‘In like a lion – Out like a lamb’? Well, forget that! Michaels blasts out of the starting gate and holds the hammer down – all the way to the finish line! OMG! This book literally explodes with danger, drama, action, adventure, angst, passion, and romance from beginning to end! Once I started reading, I could not stop! I was glued to my chair, white knuckling my ereader, my heart fluttering wildly in my chest while the pages flew as quickly as the time! It was fabulous, and I loved every single minute! It’s no secret I’m a diehard Michaels fan and love her sexy, sultry prose, but this story surprised even me. I was completely enthralled from the first page till the last! Can you tell I really loved this book? lol… Now, let me tell you why!
Victor is the first release in A Vampire’s Thirst, an inspired new brainchild from the incredibly imaginative mind of A.K. Michaels, much like Michael’s A Wolf’s Hunger, but this collection features vampires rather than wolves. Other authors will be releasing stories in A Vampire’s Thirst, but Michaels kicked off the series with Victor, and man, what a beginning it was! The story was beautifully written in the third person with multiple perspectives, which brings me to another reason I enjoy Michaels work. She gives a voice to all the major players in her stories and I love knowing what’s going on in the minds of the characters in a book, but I want it done in an organized, clearly discernible fashion and Michaels does exactly that, generally distinguishable by chapters. The dialogue is smart, snappy, sometimes funny, always well-executed, and flows effortlessly. There’s just so much I love about Michael’s writing but my favorite component is always the large cast of intriguing and engaging characters. They literally explode from the page, grab your imagination, and capture your heart! I was instantly smitten with wealthy, ancient vampire Victor Strong and lovely, strong-willed dragon shifter Kimber. Victor and Kimber complement each other perfectly. When these two meet, their attraction is immediate, their interaction captivating, their passion explosive, and their fate undeniable! *swoon* I’ve been a fan of vampire fiction for many years starting in high school when I read Dracula by Bram Stoker. I was enthralled by Barnabas Collins in the Dark Shadows television soap opera in the sixties (yeah, I’m an old bird), and totally swooned over Tom Cruise as Lestat in the movie depiction of Interview Of A Vampire by Anne Rice. Then, about five years ago, I fell in love with vampire Josef from The Witch, The Wolf, and The Vampire by A.K. Michaels and he became my favorite vampire of all time – until now! I think Victor Strong just knocked Josef out of first place! Oh my! Victor Strong is handsome, domineering, and very wealthy. He’s also one of the most ancient vampires in existence, and with that age comes great power, a power that must be controlled. Victor has maintained tight control and successfully reined in his urges. He hasn’t drunk blood from a human for two hundred years- until now. But for some inexplicable reason, Victor suddenly finds himself unable to control his actions, which is dangerous for everyone. It’s unacceptable and will result in The Directive, the supernatural governing body, sending someone to correct the situation for him, which would most likely mean the termination of his very long life. Oh dear! And just when he thought it couldn’t possibly get any worse, Victor is afflicted with ‘The Thirst’ and must find his blood mate, or go completely insane. Oh my! He thought it was only a myth but much to his surprise, he learns, first hand, it’s very real. No spoilers from me but I will say this… Handsome, wealthy, and very powerful vampire, intoxicated by the scent of his blood mate and willing to destroy anything or anyone to protect her-check! Beautiful, loyal, courageous, and strong-willed dragon shifter on the run for life and inexplicably drawn to a man who should be her enemy, not her savior-check! Malevolent enemies-check! A large, fascinating cast of characters-check! Danger, drama, action, adventure, suspense, angst, humor, passion, and romance-You bet! That and a whole lot more!
Did I like this book? No, I LOVED it! Like most reviewers, I base my rating primarily on how much I enjoy a story, and I enjoyed this story very much, but I also factor in originality, uniqueness, world building, plot and character development, cover, grammar, story pacing/flow, and overall craftsmanship. And this story satisfied all my criteria. Was it perfect? No, but it was perfect for me! Would I recommend it? You bet, and I am but only for adult readers. If you love great paranormal reads filled to the brim with danger, drama, action, adventure, angst, fantasy, engaging characters, steamy passion, sweet romance, and a heartwarming happy ending, then this book is screaming your name! Will I read this author again? Absolutely, just as soon as she releases her next book! And finally, was I entertained? Completely! Fabulous entertainment and an awesome read!
This was great. Victor, an ancient vamp, has lost his control and he does not know why. Kimber, a dragon, on the run from those who wish to capture her for her magic. Victor sees Kimber and all else goes out the window. She is his and he is hers and they fight to protect what they have. It’s a great book that I could not put down.

Victor is an ancient vampire, the oldest in the world & the wealthiest man in the world. Victor is also suffering from the Thirst. He’ll continue to feed from humans and become completely feral if he doesn’t meet his fated mate. Kimber is the last dragon shifter from her clan. She’s been on the run & hiding from a dark Elf who wants her magic. One night in Central Park, Kimber runs & manages to escape & hide from the wolves & young vampires hired by the dark Elf to capture her. The same evening Victor catches her scent & it calls to him on a primal level. He’s unable to locate her as he loses her scent in the park. The next day, Kimber has to find something to eat so she ventures from her cave/hideout. Letting her guard down, she’s confronted with those she’s been trying to remain hidden from. On the run thru the park, Victor spots her running & he knows he has to catch up to her. When he finds her, she’s on the ground in front of the dark Elf about to become his prisoner. Victor saves her & once he gets her back to his penthouse they learn they are fated mates. Kimber’s not out of danger & Victor will do anything to keep her safe.
This was a great story. It’s filled with lots of action, some steamy scenes & a HEA.

This is a new author for me and I did enjoy the book. I would read the other books in the series.
I really enjoyed this paranormal love story!
Viktor Strong is a Vampire who is going through the Vampire Thirst. He thinks he’s going crazy until he’s told what is really wrong with him. He’s looking out into Central Park when he gets her scent. It’s his Bloodmate, Kimber, who happens to be a Dragon shifter. She’s an innocent but sassy woman who can hold her own with the sometimes arrogant but loveable Viktor. Unfortunately, there is someone else after Kimber for her Dragon magic.
I loved this exciting, edge of your seat, nail biting story. Fantastic characters and an excellent story line. There is magic, suspense, mystery, hot & sexy romance and other supernatural beings-what more could you ask for? Highly recommended.
What can I say this book will cause you to loose sleep so be warned if your starting it before bed.
It is jam packed full of hot sexy scenes. A few twists you don’t see.. and what happens to the necklace the troll had that was in his pocket.. well I have to be honest that was on my mind as I read the story. Now, I am not telling ya but you need to read the story.
Nellie the housekeeper is a huge hit with me. Love her no nonsense way of thinking. Victor is hot hot .. and amazing as a round full male in this story no one sided part of him.
Over all this is a really good read that you will not regret purchasing at the retailer of your choice!!
Wow, this story brings some serious heat
Victor never drinks human blood but when he finds himself craving it he starts to wonder what’s going on with him. then he picks up an alluring scent that he is compelled to find the owner to.
Victor’s angst and struggle to keep a grip on his urge for blood as the Thirst takes hold is one he’s losing, the intensity of these emotions is palpable, throw in a liberal amount of all consuming passion and this is a book you’ll not want to put down.
A great first book in the series, I can’t wait to read the others.
