Synopsis

Do vampires dream?  Alexander Rostova is lying alone in his lonely bed as the sun rises on St Valentines Day.  As he sleeps, he remembers the night long ago when he gave his human lover Natasha the crimson kiss that turned her into vampire and erotic memories of his one true love haunt his dreams….

The Review

Crimson Heart is the second short story in the Crimson series by romance / erotica author Sabrina Luna.  Once again she successfully dishes up a bite-sized chunk of erotica; only this time packaged with a slightly melancholy romantic flavour.

The story is told through the memories and dreams of Alexander and again this seems to be a most effective way of setting the scene for the erotic encounter, letting the author use the short story format to its best advantage. 

Crimson Heart has a dreamy and yet slightly melancholy feel to it.  Alexander’s lonely longing to be with his true love Natasha gives the story a romantic feel which Crimson Ambrosia lacked.  Reviewing short stories is hard because I can’t say too much without giving away the whole story but I will say this much - if you like to read romance with a strong erotic element and you like it to include vampires you should love this story!
