Lucy is a young woman that leads a quiet existence. She only
lets her hair down at night when she's working as a
bartender at a Goth club. This is where she feels can truly
be herself. The reason for that is the obsession and
fascination that Lucy holds for vampires. She writes poems
about them. She reads about them. She even used to want to
be one of them.
One night while Lucy's working, a beautiful, but somewhat
strange, man enters the club. He asks Lucy for a glass of
1912 Merlot. This begins their banter back and forth because
this is a very rare wine and not likely to be found in a
Goth club. The man introduces himself as Xavier and asks if
she will go out with him. Lucy fills him in on her rule
about not dating customers. He tells her that he'll return
to the club every night until she relents.
Lucy can't get the enigmatic Xavier out of her head, even
though she knows that's quite silly. What she doesn't know
is that Xavier is outside on the street beneath her
apartment and is secretly watching her intently. He knows
that she's his true love, his soul mate, and he's not going
to give up until he has her. Something else that Lucy
doesn't know just yet is that Xavier is also a vampire and
wants nothing more than to make her his eternal companion.
More of a novella than a full length novel, CONDEMNED BY A
VAMPIRE, nonetheless catches the reader's attention from the
very beginning. That doesn't change as the bittersweet love
story of Lucy and Xavier leads you to craving more with each
page. Jodie Pierce draws her readers in and enticingly pulls
them along on the journey with her characters. It's easy to
feel like you've stepped into the story with Lucy and
Xavier. You'll be left wishing there was more to come.
Can a young poet find happiness with a vampire? A normally
introverted girl, poet by day and gothic bartender by night
meets her 'destiny' man. At first she refuses him but he
keeps coming back attempting to get her to go out with him.
Finally they do and she feels things she's never felt
before. However, each time they have wonderful erotic sex a
huge disaster hits and they move to get away from it.
Finally he admits to her that he's cursed and it's his fault
for each of the disasters. She is furious and has him take
her to his homeland in Romania and run down his family
history and the details of the curse. She ties him up, makes
love to him one final time and ends the curse. But how? Will
they still be together after he has condemned her to this
life? Excerpt: Can I live with my decision for eternity? I
never finish things I start so why would I want this for
eternity when there's no turning back. I didn't have Xavier
to factor in before and the passion he makes me feel either.
He could be just the one I need to make this eternity thing
work. The past couple of days without him has left me
feeling incomplete and like a shell of my former self. When
we were together it was like I could spiritually feel his
body joined with mine. I think that's why I was crying but
didn't know why. My soul was crying for his subconsciously.
I need him but I'm sure he and destiny already had that one
figured out a long time ago.
