All Enduring – All I Need

Armondes Tresnave is a vampire who lives under a curse. He must marry before midnight or suffer the consequences. He has been presented with many candidates but none have interested him until Danielle comes into his life. Danielle is celebrating her 30th birthday when she meets Armondes. She is swept away by him and before she knows it – she finds herself married to the man.

Armondes is a mysterious and sexy hero. He has lived many years and suffered “bad” marriages in the past. He finds himself falling in love with Danielle. Never in her wildest dreams did Danielle think she would become the mate of a vampire or better yet, the consort of the King. Danielle’s adjustment to her new role takes time and great effort. Her ability to “wear” the crown is made easier by her burgeoning feelings for Armondes. Although forced into a quick marriage, these two are able to reconcile their growing feelings for each other. Their sexual attraction existed as soon as they laid eyes on each other and only increases as time passes.

The secondary characters are very important to the storyline. They are fully fleshed out and the reader can understand them. The plot is fast and furious as Ms. Painter throws in a twist with the usurpers to the throne.

All I Need is a very nice start to a new series. It has everything a lover of vampire romances could want: a handsome hero, a strong heroine and lots of torrid sex.
