This entertaining box set gives you three fun reads. Cursed, Smolder and Fire ae included in this set. If you are a fan of PNR these books should hold a lot of appeal for you with a blend of shifters, vampires, witches, magic, drama, excitement, danger, romance and heat.
This is a wonderful book. You get three…yes three stories in here. Cursed is about three Gargoyle shifters and their bad luck. But it does introduce us to the Vamp bar and it gets started. Smolder (which is my favorite) is about Nike and Michel. Nike (great name) is a firefighter and has noticed Michel when they visit the club and a few other places. she love his FRENCH accent. Then there is FIre which is Tristan and Mya’s story. Tristan is a witch who thinks he is broken. Mya is the BFF of Nike and also a firefighter. They have an amazing attraction.
This is a good collection to get started on this series. I did listen to this on audio. There are three narrators for this grouping. They all do a great job.
These amazingly well-written stories with great characters make a great story with curses. These characters have developed well over the series as they are introduced, each have their curses broken as they find love. Each of these stories have action, adventure, twists/turns, chemistry and romance. This Boxset is a must read from a must read Author. A new favorite Author

Vamps is an entertaining box set of three paranormal books filled with shifters, witches, vampires, gargoyles and so many more interesting characters. The writing is descriptive and the storylines are unique. If you love anything paranormal with steam, magical twists and great endings then this is definitely for you.
Such an intriguing storyline. At first I though it was all about the Gargoyles, but then things changed and it was wonderful. Such a great mix of supernatural and the lives we lead. Loved every twist and turn.
A well written Paranormal boxed set that is well written, and all of the stories have a great storyline. This is a must read set. I received a free copy of this book via Booksprout and am voluntarily leaving a review.

He sees Maya at his club and sees a light surrounding her, effectively chasing the shadows away. He is intrigued and must meet her. There is more to Tristan than he seems but what?
This is an awesome box set of paranormal romance! I loved it! The characters are mesmerizing. The romance is steamy. Magical…

Maya is a firefighter with a secret that she has been keeping hidden except her best friend Nike. Since Nike has gone away with her man Michel, Maya has not been back to the Club Vamps since it was reopened. She meets the owner and there is something about him that makes her want to know him. Tristan is the new owner of Vamps as well as a researcher who is trying to heal himself as well as being somewhat of a hermet. But when they come together things start to change and they get close and then something happens, something silly which in turn makes the other do something just as silly. Great story line the characters were very interesting. Good action, adventure and romantic suspense. I was given an Advanced Readers Copy as a gift from the author without obligation. I am providing an honest review.
Individually each book is a fantastic story starting with the awakening of a romance, progressing through the excitement and suspense of their adventure together, ending with their HEA at the end. Together this is a wonderful group of stories that blend together.
To me it seems Vamps is the place to be where all the human and paranormal got to be themselves. Where love comes into play but danger slowly waits.

Vengeance to Curse Breaking
Bk 1 Cursed. Lucan and Veronique
This why you need to do background checks and family history on the people you date. Just saying he should have asked around.
Veronique was an intense witch that liked getting her own way and when she didn’;t boy she could be vengeful.
Bk2 Smolder. Nike and Michael
A girl just wants to have fun from her everyday life is it too much to ask? Michael is a vamp living in the human world were most don’t know what he is.
He has starred in many of Nike fantasies but she has yet to make the personal connection the one night that all changes.
These characters have pretty good potential to make this story a very interesting read and I was not disappointed.
Bk 3 Fire. Trystan. And Maya
This story takes place after the fire at Vamps and the club is under new ownership. Tristan is the owner of the club who tends to avoid people as he body is drain by the darkness that surrounds people until one night he sees a woman with light surrounding her. He is intrigued enough to want to know who she is.
Maya is out looking to have some fun little did she know that her world would never be the same.

Vamps contains the books Cursed, Smolder and Fire.
Cursed is the lead up to this series and whilst short you get let hanging and wanting more from this book. Lucan makes a major mistake which now he and his brothers must also pay for.
Smolder and we meet Michel the Vampire and Nike a firefighter who likes to party at Vamps after work. But with Michel having old enemies life for this couple isn’t going to be easy. Nike finds herself caught in the middle of all of it.
Fire we get to meet Maya again who is Nike’s best friend and also a firefighter and Tristan a witch and the new owner of Vamps. Their story as the title states is full of fire, Maya is the spark to Tristan’s fire.
Each book is not quiet complete in my opinion we do get snippets of the other couples as the series moves on. So I suggest it is best to listen/read this series from the start.
I have read a lot of Lisa Carlisle books and they are always exciting and entertaining, leaning towards forever mates and the journey to get there. I like these protective men, their attitude towards women and how they deal with their challenges. I have the audible copy too and really like the narration, well done!
A great collection including: Cursed, Smolder and Fire. I loved how each of these had their own unique storylines and characters but still tied together in the underground club VAMP. Narration was wonderfully done – I especially enjoyed the dual narration in Fire.
Cursed – was a great read but left me with more questions than answers – but overall there was a lot of character growth.
Smolder – the heat turns up both in character chemistry and in reality with a fire that is the beginning and the end of so much. Great action and suspense and of course steamy chemistry.
Fire – is a great addition to this series. VAMP is back and some would say better than ever. With a new owner and a new ability and love interest is discovered.
I love the character crossovers – especially in Smolder and Fire and hope there is more to come in this series. Love the well written balance of steam and storyline which. Storylines are unique and captivating as are the characters themselves. Well written and well narrated!
this book was given to me for free at my request and I provided this voluntary review
I received a free copy of this audio box set from the author. I own the ebooks.
Cursed
The introductory story of how the three gargoyle brothers ended up as semi-permanent stone when one of them rejected a witch’s love. They are only able to move if there is someone in danger and then only for 24 hours. It also explains how they end up as guardians in a nightclub. Short story.
Smolder
Nike and her best friend go out for a Halloween night of dancing at a club that caters to those who don’t quite fit in with everyone else. When Nike sees the man she has been crushing on and he actually talks to her, she is in heaven. Unfortunately, the man has enemies, really really old enemies who have been looking for him. An explosion, a fire, a fight between ancient beings – and Nike is caught in the middle.
Fire
Maya returns to the nightclub where she and Nike always went dancing on their nights off from the firehouse. She hasn’t seen the club, or her best friend, since the night of the explosion and fire. It is now under new management and when the new owner catches sight of Maya on the dance floor he is astonished that she is surrounded by light. He is so used to only seeing the darkness in people that he knows he must meet this woman. As they grow closer they must share secrets that could mean the end of their relationship or the beginning of something beautiful.
I thought some of the “feelings” in this story were a little too much. The way Tristan went off when Maya admitted she had kissed another man was a little over the top. He had just broken up with her after all.
I really enjoyed the narrators. They did a great job. The stories were really good as well. I was upset to begin with because I thought this set was about the gargoyle brothers and them finding their mates. However, that was my bad for not paying better attention. The first story is about how the brothers were cursed and ended up guardians at Vamps. It was involved and The characters were developed well.
The second one is about Michel finding his mate. I enjoyed it but I felt like to much happened to fast. Nike is a firefighter which i thought waa cool when you consider vampires going up in smoke and all that jazz. It just seemed to easy. They are a cool couple and there’s an HEA I just didn’t enjoy this one as much as the others I’ve read.
The third is about Tristan finding his mate. When Tristan meets Maya he can’t resist her but he also can’t make himself give in 100%. They are opposites who come together and find something amazing with each other. They are both well developed characters with intriguing backgrounds and there’s a lot of fire and passion in the story. One thing I really enjoy about the series as a whole is they are all standalones but some familiar folks pop up here and there. They don’t have to be read in order.
