Romance Paranormal

The Comtesse de Fournier otherwise know as Rosemarie Edenberg, is the executioner for the Fey de la Nuit who controls and kills ogres. Ogres are nasty creatures that would wipe out the human race if they could. Rosemarie is not alone in her mission. She has great support with her Ambrose, her faerie advisor, who is also her mentor. Then there is Gareth Barrow, Lord Shenley. Gareth is a vampire who seems to enjoy engaging in battle alongside Rosemarie. Gareth will try his best to seduce Rose even though she acts as if he is as bad as the ogres she kills. She can't help but to respond to Gareth, especially after one-hundred years of constant loneliness she has endured.

Rose has been feeling out of sorts. She constantly looks over her shoulder and with Gareth constantly at her heels, she is never at peace. The one person she can turn to is Ambrose, but he treats her with distain and a coldness she can't understand. It seems the orges are no longer working alone but may have some fey helping them gain power. Now Rose is in great danger. Her life is at stake and not even Ambrose can help her. Gareth wants to protect Rose, but for a price. And when Rose finds out how Ambrose betrayed her so many years ago, she decides to turn her back on everything she has believed in.

NIGHT'S ROSE is a dark and sexual fairy tale. Rosemarie is a woman with the weight of the world on her shoulders. Her life has not been an easy one because so many have betrayed her. She may have the strength and the power to defeat her foes with her sword, but when it comes to finding peace and happiness, that has eluded her all her life.

Rosemarie is involved in a love triangle with Ambrose and Gareth. Gareth at first may seem to be comparable to a villain, because his actions don't ring true. Rose responds to this seductive vampire, but if she gives in, she knows her heart and souls may be lost. She is counting on Ambrose to lead her in the right direction, but because of his own issues and guilt over the wrongs he has done to Rose, he must let her fend for herself.

Annaliese Evans has written a magical tale that both fantasy and romance readers alike will enjoy. The love scene between Rose and Gareth are passionate and will leave you panting for more. NIGHT'S ROSE is a world of mystical creatures and legends that will have you enthralled till the very last page.

SUMMARY

Beauty was not awakened by a kiss.

For nearly one hundred years, Rosemarie Edenberg has worked tirelessly to wipe the dreaded ogre tribe from the earth. Now the tribe has gathered in London to work a spell that will destroy the scourge of their kind, the woman they call the Briar Rose.

Two magnetic men will unite to aid Rose--her mysterious Fey advisor, Ambrose, and the vampire, Lord Shenley, an Earl of scandalous reputation and even more scandalous appetites. One will save her, one will betray her, and both will challenge her to face the past that haunts her.

Once upon a time, she was ensnared in the mists of enchantment, cursed to sleep one hundred years. But this beauty wasn’t awakened with a kiss, and has never known happily ever after.

With the help of her handsome allies, Rose may yet find it.
