Jason and Vincent are co-owners of The Coven. They take one look at Stacy and decide they want her, simple as that. So they set out to prove to her that they're the men she's destined to be with.

Deadly Crimson drew me in from page one. The story starts right in the middle of the action and it doesn't let up until the last page. The scene where Jason, Vincent, and Stacy meet for the first time is incredibly intense and erotic. Jason and Vincent are wizards and the drug being investigated is produced from the blood of vampires. So although this work is labeled as BDSM, personally I would call it Paranormal erotic romance.

The characters felt very familiar from the beginning, like these were people I knew well. Their chemistry was obvious and never seemed forced. Ms. Michaels writes some of the most sensual, erotic love scenes I've ever read and I was absolutely immersed. I was so captivated I didn't want the story to end. I also really liked the secondary characters - they were strong without taking over the story. I'd love to see them have their own stories.

Based on this book, I'll be reading more of this author's work. Deadly Crimson is filled with scorching sex and is a great story with witty dialogue and unique characters thrown in for good measure! I recommend it without reservation to those who are fans of this genre.
