SET YOUR NIGHTS ABLAZE WITH THE FIRST BOOK IN THE FLAMES OF VAMPIRE PASSION SERIES London Beckley (aka Lindy Beck): “Human life is short. A flicker of time, and then it’s over. Live it while you can… With me.” Those were the outrageous words Zane said to me the night I attended the adult convention to try to network and sell some books. I had left my husband to pursue my life on my own terms … to pursue my life on my own terms rather than put up with one more word of insult. Once I arrived at the event, I was startled to find someone already at my table, Zane, claiming to be my assistant for the night. As the event progressed, amidst his antics of reading excerpts to chittering ladies, and flashing what I thought were fake fangs, he made his intentions towards me crystal clear.
Little did I know how drastically my life was about to change with Zane’s entrance into it.
Zane took me from my colorless world, and immersed me into his vibrancy.
Soon, he was inside me in almost every way possible.
My conflicted mind.
My hidden walls protecting me.
My damaged heart.
The immediate and undying intensity between us was both an awakening of my true self and an overwhelming rush ripping me apart. I wasn’t sure if I would survive the ways he made me feel in my body, heart and soul, much less the salacious, climax-inducing visions he could send directly into my psyche.
After a night of interrupted intimacy, and another of heated exchanges between Zane and my mother, I threw away my inclination for sanity, and accepted his invitation to take a walk on the wild side with him for the next few weeks.
Life had served me enough bitterness in the day. For some reason, it had decided to reflect its loving moonlight, and I wasn’t asking any questions.
Still, I wondered if he would survive my mother.
Zane:
Forever is a long time.
When you’re as old as I am and you find the person you want to be with, you go for it, and don’t look back.
I discovered London through reading her books, recognized my heart’s counterpart, and looked her up to interact with her on social media. Once she announced the convention she planned to attend, I decided that was the time to go get her, and forbade my friend Jen as well as London’s other vampire fans from going. I needed London’s full attention on me, and knew how to get it.
London is sex all bottled up and I’ve got the corkscrew to pop her open. But more than that, she’s funny, kind, tenderhearted yet damaged in ways I long to fix. The woman sets my dead blood on fire. To Hell with anyone or anything that gets in my way, whether it be a former love interest who dares to threaten her, or anyone else who tries to separate us.
Our passion is a flame that will not be extinguished.
Zane, Flames of Vampire Passion Series, Book One, contains steaming, wickedly hot scenes of vivid intimacy, laugh out loud humor and depth of heartfelt connection between Zane and London of real emotion.

This amazing saga continues with even more excitement as Reese is forced to make a decision that could result in losing the love of his life, as Kate is kidnapped, believing her bestie is dead……
Julian scrambles to achieve and perfect a vampire talent that will allow him to reach and link to his beloved Kate who is in the clutches of John, the deranged creation of Evangeline, who in her own madness believing that Kate stole Julian from her as the way of getting him to come back to her.
The action never stops as there are a few different and very enlightening story lines that explains a lot of the why’s and who’s of this saga……..Evangeline’s origins and all she went through, made me believe that she never stood a chance.
So, I have mixed thoughts about the emotional cliff hanger that I hope means that there is another installment coming in this series.
These characters are so well developed, each as individuals and together, they were so true to life for me, from the smexy erotic scenes to the horrors that are visited on some of them. This is a most amazingly believable Vampire romance….I have read many, so, I do recommend this series as an adult read. I definitely give it 5 fanging stars!
I loved this book … it’s hot hot hot … and aptly named! The author has done a fantastic job with this story and I absolutely got lost inside the story – so much so I grabbed the entire series!
This was my first book by this author that I read. Loved loved loved Zane and London. This book has so many facets to it. It will have you on the edge of your seat, it will have you laughing out loud and some at some point you’ll be tearing up. You’ll also want to have a fan and some ice water because Zane is that hot.
*****Decadently delicious*****
I love vampire’s its true, but sexy playful ones I adore!
If you’ve read any of Ms Barris’s other books you will notice that this book is set in the same vampire/human world as master for tonight and some old faces show up briefly :).
Zane is a vampire, I took to him straight away, loved how sexy he is, his also very amusing comes out with some good lines. He has been smitten by London a Paranormal romance author, his never really met her but he has seen her.
London has written about vampires, romance, and sex, her ex and mother don’t support her and have beaten her down, she’s not beaten yet, though. Her ex must have been very boring and was obviously paler than vanilla!
Zane has used his connections to meet the woman he desires and hopes to sweep her off her feet and into his bed.
Zane and London just connected, they seem to connect on all levels sexually and deeper too, I really felt their feelings.
I adored it when Zane said “I’m Zane, baby”. He says that a lot, but it never gets annoying.
There’s lots of Sex, but it definitely didn’t feel too much, it just flowed with their story.
I have a favourite sexy moment I would love to share but don’t want to spoil the story…
I loved this book, and almost burnt my Christmas cake as didn’t want to put it down.
Meeting Zane has been a whirlwind. He is extreme, intense, fun and loving all in one!!! While reading this book I have found myself laughing out loud to all the openness of Zane. His character is very different than I had expected. This surprised me since he is a vampire who is carefree, live in the moment, and taking chances kind of guy. Then he is also a very deep emotional and endearing man which what made my heart melt.
Then there is London. I loved London’s character. To feel not worthy of herself by the voices of others who have belittled her and her writing. She found her voice through her writing. She writes books that have her deepest desires and fantasies that she can only set free on paper.
When these two come together it’s fast, fun and very deep. They both are a balance and I felt it.
Elaine made these two characters strong within themselves through each other.
My heart exploded with some really beautiful and poetic sentences in this book. I know for myself they have imprinted in my heart and my soul.
I found this book to be a great love story of waiting for the the one who has been chosen from the beginning of time FOR A LIFETIME!!
Thank you Elaine Barris for another wonderful read!!”
Zane has lived a long time as a vampire but even vampires get burned in the love department! He fell in love with Lindy through her writing and finally worked up a plan to meet her.
Lindy is still settling into her new life. Divorced because her husband is an ass and can’t accept her writing. She also has to put up with a mother who doesn’t support her either! She is knocked for six when Zane is her assistant at an adult convention and her life quickly spirals out of control.
She doesn’t want to get sucked into a man’s life again. She wants to be her own person and let her inner bad girl out! But finding out that the supernatural world is real and they are adoring fans…well that might be just too much for even Lindy to handle!
I loved who Zane never tore down Lindy. He built her up and was always there to be her strength when she needed it. He loved that she came out of her shell with him and they did things that she never did with her husband. London (aka Lindy) is sensationally naïve, warm, smart and sexy! She has real self-esteem issues which Zane puts to bed!
OMG the “visions” that he shares with Lindy could melt your kindle!
