review 2: (4.5 star - Top Pick, review written by Talina Perkins for Night Owl Reviews)Plot:Before... more reading Caressed by Moonlight I had forgotten how much I love historical romance. Amanda J. Greene has returned my love for bodices and dancing while giving me so much more. I have a strong love for paranormal romance that has spice sprinkled throughout the entire story and Ms. Greene added the right amount of vampires with a strong sex appeal and an alpha male...how could resist! This book is definitely one of those stories that lacks nothing when it comes to the sizzling connection between the hero and heroine, Dorian and Victoria. I still can't stop thinking about the chemistry they shared on the dance floor. A little of that is shared in the teaser section above. I also found the unique paranormal world for Ms. Greene new series fabulous and thrilling to step into. Her vampires are as powerful as they are alluring and sexy. She has a great take on her world and her characters and allows the setting a place in her story instead of using it just a prop.Layered with suspense, desire, and a sense of family in equal quantity there was not a moment in this story that didn't speak to me. The theme of family and loyalty was well balanced by the villain's need for revenge. Threaded together, it all made an exciting story that I couldn't put down and in fact finished in less than a day. The author took a vampire king and a mortal woman, threw them together and allowed their characters and surroundings to push them through finding their footing and their place at each others side. All secondary characters added a depth to the story I feel was spot on; not to much and definitely not to little. While the story is about Victoria and Dorian finding their way through needing one another, whether they want to accept it or not, it is also about Dorian regaining his control over his clan and territory. Their is blood shed and broken hearts as well as moments I thought all would be lost. When I came to the end and found that moment when all was not lost I smiled and sighed in relief only to be teased with a prologue of how the second book in the series will be started. I CAN"T WAIT!Writing:Amanda J. Greene is a debut author that readers will take notice of and fast. She knows how to give readers what they want and exactly how they want it. She has a very smooth hand in delivering romance and passion while giving the right amount of suspense and thrills. She writes with great description and is destined to make the bestsellers list once readers find out just how talented she really is. I had to verify three times that she is in fact and Indie Author. Publishers would love this author!Characters:Victoria is the best friend I never had and wanted. Strong determined and loyal to those she loves this heroine was perfect for this story. Stubborn and at times pushy she endeared me to her from page one. She is a character that did what had to be done and refused to leave her mates side once she knew what she was facing. Come to think about it, even when she didn't know what she was facing she was still there willing to fight for what she believed in and darn determined to make sure she was never left out of the going-ons. I liked that. To many heroines are push overs allowing the hero to decide what is good for them. Victoria is not one of those! Dorian, he is definitely the kind of hero that would and did try to tell Victoria what to do. I loved watching him falling under the spell of love and his animalistic tendency to take Victoria by surprise each time he couldn't control the feelings inside him any more. Sexy, strong and powerful this vampire king stole my heart the moment he told Victoria to look into his eyes while they were dancing. A perfect gentleman yet daring and such a seducer. Two characters you loved watching fall in love!Last Thoughts:This author, this story, this series, is a must read for all paranormal romance lovers! Amanda J. Greene is an author I will not forget! I am anxiously awaiting the second installment to this series aimed to come out in February 2012 titled, Caressed by Night. less
