| Three years after their fateful meeting in Haverton Park Jake Beaumont and Abby Shore’s lives were serene. They never talked about that night in the park when Abby found Jake bleeding and struggling for his life. They lived in the here and now where life was sweet and gentle. Jake helped Abby start her own business while he continued building his construction empire. Love filled their hearts, yet neither would allow the words to erupt from their lips. Abby holds her emotions back even though she doesn’t know why and Jake knows he can never fully commit to Abby. On the night of Jake’s Christmas party he receives news of a friend’s death. Secrets kept resurface and threaten to unravel all that Jake and Abby have worked so hard to accomplish. Abby learns of Jake’s sinister secret, but is keeping a mysterious one of her own. Will Jake and Abby’s skeleton’s emerge to ruin their friendship, masked desires, and their very lives? Can Jake and Abby get past the lies and learn to love and trust each other again?
Bonfire of the Vampires will stir the imagination and the passion within. Jennifer Colgan has done a remarkable job portraying her version of the vampire world where vampires walk among us with no reservation and have ordinary lives. But in secret there is a whole other world full of darkness, pleasure, and lust for power. The sudden twist and turns of this story leave you wondering what else Ms. Colgan has in store. Jake Beaumont is a strong, mindful character that will pull you into his world at the blink of an eye. Abby is definitely not your average girl. Her self discipline and cocky demeanor fills each and every page. The attraction between Jake and Abby is passionate and inescapable. How long will they fight the desperation between them? What will they do once the truths of their pasts come to light? I recommend Bonfire of the Vampires by Jennifer Colgan to any and every one with an insatiable appetite for romance, danger, suspense, and vampire lore.
