"The Dark Gift has brought Roshan DeLongpre a lifetime of bitter loneliness-until, by chance, he comes across a picture of Brenna Flanagan. There is something hauntingly familiar in Brenna's fiery red hair and sensual body, something that compels him to travel into the past, save the beautiful witch from the stake, and bring her safely to his own time. Now, in the modern world, Brenna's seductive innocence and sense of wonder are utterly bewitching the once-weary vampire, blinding him to a growing danger. For there is one whose dark magick is strong...one who knows who they both are and won't stop till their powers are his...and they are nothing more than shadows through time..."

Well, if you read my previous review of Desire After Dark, you'll know why I didn't like this one either - they were still grunting, softly!

"Vicki Cavendish knows she should be careful. After all, there's a killer loose in town--"one who drains women of blood, women with red hair and green eyes just like her. She knows she should tell police about the dark, gorgeous man who comes into the diner every night, the one who makes her feel a longing she's never felt before. The last thing she should do is invite the beautiful stranger into her house...

Cursed to an eternity of darkness, Antonio Battista has wandered the earth, satisfying his hunger with countless women, letting none find a place in his heart. But Victoria Cavendish is different. Finally, he has found a woman to love, a woman who accepts him for what he is - a woman who wants him as much as he wants her... which is why he should leave. But Antonio is a vampire, not a saint. What is his, he'll fight to keep and protect. And Victoria Cavendish needs protecting...from the remorseless enemy who would make her his prey...and from Antonio's own uncontrollable hunger."

HE WILL NOT LOSE HER AGAIN

IN THE STILL OF THE NIGHT

Paranormal romances.  I read this a few years ago then found it again. Two stories are historicals, which really aren't my thing.  One is about Erin and V'Aiden and I liked that one, about a creative person being sucked dry by dream demons like the hero.
