The gripping next installment in the steamy Immortal Hearts of San Francisco series. Reader’s Favorite Silver Medal Winner. 2017 Roné Award runner up in the Paranormal Romance Category.Lane DeMarco is a broken vampire plagued by a horrific past that makes intimacy and trust impossible. His passion for playing music is the only thing satisfying enough to curb his insanity…until Vanessa shakes … insanity…until Vanessa shakes his life up harder than the San Francisco earthquake. She’s smart, sexy, headstrong, and his desire for her could spiral out of control…except she is a witch. The same witch who once cast a nasty spell on him.
Vanessa Creamer inherited a powerful birthright, but traumatic events in her life have shattered her confidence. Though she hides it well, she struggles daily with self-doubt and denies her deepest longings for the one man she truly wants. Her attraction to Lane, with his sultry voice and bedroom eyes, proves irresistible. All her attempts to connect with him have failed and she fears his hatred of her is as powerful and intense as her desire for him.
Passion ignites between them as they struggle with deep-seated secrets that haunt them. Can the witch he distrusts tame the destructive demons that torment him? Or will their fervid desires send him deeper into the hell he’s been living in?

Check this great book out guys! FAB!
Book 3 in Griscom’s Immortal Hearts of San Francisco. A beautifully well written and perfectly narrated read. I loved the dual narration and oh, the accent for Lane makes me weak in the knees! So, this is obviously Lane’s story along with Maggie’s friend Vanessa. While this could technically be a stand alone, these characters are introduced in previous reads and you’ll have a better appreciation if read in order.
So, Lane is a hot, broody, rocker vamp struggling with inner demons while Vanessa is a witch who is struggling with a past trauma she hasn’t shared. These two start off like oil and water but the tension between them soon becomes sexual tension.
A captivating story with great flow. Dual narration is again, perfect. Amazing characters who experience wonderful growth. I loved every minute of this read/listen and I can’t wait for more!
This book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review.
*this review is based on the audio version of this read.
This is so good, that I didn’t want it to ever end. The chemistry, whether good or bad, between Lane and Vanessa is magnetic and explosive. Very well written paranormal, author blends the seemingly unmixable. Plot is intense, immersing and swift paced with never a dull moment. They engage feeling of happiness and anxiety, I love that with time, they are steadfast and willing to communicate, trust, release all their pent-up emotions and open their hearts to love. Absolutely love this!!!! I received an audio copy at no cost and without obligation from the author. The male narrator has a very sexy voice, lol…the female narrator is good too, both do very good job with emphasis and intensity when/where needed.
Love this author! And if this cover doesn’t catch your eye….
Rocked my soul! A rockin’ test of wills! This is Lane’s and Vanessa’s story…and what a story it is. Both of them are incredibly hard headed and always at each other’s throats. Although, they secretly like each other. *wags eyebrows* They both think the other doesn’t like them because of being a vampire or a witch but they share a connection that they cannot deny. This is an absolute test of wills between the two and the rollercoaster of emotion that follows is intense to say the least. Both start to bring the other out of their shell then all hell breaks loose. Vanessa and Lane are both very strong characters and watching them clash and come together is inspiring. This story is sweet, erotic, and satisfying.
He nudged me to the side and stepped around me then picked up a bottle of wine and left me standing there in the cold. Dazed. Aroused. Wanting. And rocked to the core.
We both needed to make some confessions, and maybe because we were both damaged, it was better to make them to each other.
I liked my women willing and loving. Though a scream every now and then was just fine, as long as she was screaming my name from the pleasure I was giving her.
We have followed these characters in Tempted By a Vampire and Captivated By a Vampire. They can be read as standalones but to truly appreciate these characters I suggest you read from the beginning. The author is incredible at making these characters evolve in a way you can’t rip away from. They go through the same emotions most people go through and therefore make them more real (even though they are vampires and witches, lol!). This series gets better and better as it continues. Rock on Susan Griscom! I’ve been rocked!
Rocked by a Vampire
Is Vanessa enough to cure Lane’s demons?!
This book is a beautiful mix of love, heartache, and sinful sex!
This book destroyed me emotionally. I was on a roller coaster of emotions. Euphoric highs and toxic lows. Pain from the past could ruin both their lives. Will they let it? Mrs. Griscom definitely knows how to keep your pulse racing! This is one of my must reads of the year! It is a highly addictive read that was easily devoured that leaves you wanting more. More Lane and his saucy little witch.
