Zack Ravenscroft loves women--all women--and they love him. The irresistibly seductive owner of the hottest casino in Nevada, Zack has tasted every wicked pleasure Sin City can offer.

Zack knows nothing about her--except that he craves her. . .

Kaitlyn is half vampire, half human--and all woman. As the cherished daughter of the Carpathian Coven's master, she has been given every luxury a girl could desire. Now her only need is for a prince. But though she's ready to gamble her heart on Zack, a powerful enemy stalks their every move. . .watches their every kiss. . .and waits to destroy their undying love. . .

I write paranormal romances for Zebra Books, and I love it. Most of my stories are about vampires because, I admit, I'm fascinated by them. I also admit I don't like most vampire movies. I'm not really into blood and gore in living color on the big screen.

I also write historical romances as Madeline Baker, many of which have been reissued on Kindle with new covers.

I've written over 80 books, many of which have appeared on various Bestseller lists.

Anyone who knows me also knows I love all things Star Wars, Phantom, and Beauty and the Beast.

We have an adorable Pomeranian named Lady, a mischievous cat named Kitty and a tortoise who remains nameless.

My favorite authors are Lee Child, C.S. Harris, and Patricia Briggs.

Fabulous Read !!!

I was enthralled in this story from the first chapter to the last. If I didn't need to sleep I wouldn't have. Every character was relatable. It was thrilling and sweet. I love the way every little thing was talked about in such a way that it was never vulgar and never needed to be. Thank you for leaving some things to my imagination. A very fabulous read and now onto your next book. Thank you again so much.

I'm grateful.

I love both of these books. They were funny and exciting. I finished each book in less than a day. So, if you have the time, they're a quick read.

Fast pace? Yes. Can this book draw you in? Yes. Kaitlin, ( Daughter of Master Vampire-Drake & human mom-Elaina); Zack, ( "The Others"-aka " A made vampire), owner of a Los Vegas casino; Nadiya, ( the "Evil Vampire") second wife of Drake 's dearly departed Vampire dad...Jealousy that has no bounds yet is "Bound By Blood". Amanda Ashley is a very talented author who can have you feeling for each character..Even for Nadiya..whom is so blinded with revenge that she uses even those she Loves. Of course, there is a "Happy Ending"..and sure, you will want to follow up on Elaina and the Formidable Zack..So, onto the next book in this series..Bound By Night.

The storyline was great. The editing was also great. Unfortunately, I might not be the best to review this book because her writing style is so very similar to my own.

I love the adventure the couple faces as the plot moved forward. I want to read the parent's story as the mother was brought across. She had already drank from her husband for 20 years so Elena was already halfway there!!

Typical bad vampire romance

Bound by Blood, Bound #2, by Amanda Ashley
Grade: D

"I'm always right, Katy darlin'. And now that that's settled, I think we should get down to some serious huggin' and kissin'."

As a half human, half vampire and the only daughter of the Romanian Carpathian Fortress, Kaitlyn Sherrad has lived a very sheltered life. Now at twenty one, she has finished college and convinced her parents to let her stay in America and try to make her own way in Nevada. Late one night Kaitlyn meets Zack Ravenscroft, a local casino owner, who immediately sweeps her off her feet. Little do they both know they have more in common then they think and their similarities just might make their romance forbidden.
As a six hundred year old vampire Zack Ravenscroft never thought he would find a woman to spend his life and as one of The Order, vampires who are made not born, his relationship with Kaitlyn is forbidden and her father is hell bent on keeping them apart. Zack must now fight for his relationship not only against the woman that he loves family but against an old enemy who has come back for revenge and has chosen Kaitlyn as their target. Zack and Kaitlyn must now prove to everyone that they deserve love and happiness together and they will do anything or fight anyone to attain it.
Bound by Blood is the second book in Amanda Ashley's Bound Series and it picks up twenty one years after Bound by Night leaves off which is the story of Kaitlyn's mother and father, Elena and Drake. This book was much better then the first in the series, which I previously reviewed, but I found it to be very boring and uneventful. I think that to really understand what is going on in this story you would need to read the first book or else you will be very confused as the two books have very interwoven plot lines.
I had a few problems with this book but I think the thing that bothers me the most is how fast Kaitlyn and Zack meet and fall in love. There is no big anticipation at all with their relationship and after the first hundred pages they are in love, going to get married and the book moves on to the person who is trying to get revenge on Kaitlyn's family. I disliked the Romeo and Juliet parallel a lot and found that the forbidden romance between the two to be an opening for Kaitlyn to whine and complain a lot.
Kaitlyn reminded me very much of her mother from the first book and this is not a compliment. I found her to be very spoiled, boring, a goody-goody, highly annoying and lacking any sort of backbone. I very much dislike weak female leads and Kaitlyn is the poster child for weak female leads. The only woman who had any sort of guts was portrayed as the villain while the meek, crawl into a corner and wait for the men to save them woman are the heroins. At one point a male character told a female that if she didn't do what he said he would "Lock her in her room." I'm sorry what? These two are supposed to be in love for years and are married and he's going to lock her in her room like a child? These are just not the sort of characters that I like reading about. The male characters are okay but nothing special.
I found most of this book to be very bad and I found myself rolling my eyes a lot. I think the action is very good but the romance is lacking and so are the characters. I was very excited to read this series and highly disappointed. Plain and simple, as far as paranormal romances go this isn't a very good one and I can't recommend it as a fan of the genre.

My title for this review is based on school reports... As a writer myself and a fervent fan of Feehan, Warren and Ward I found this book disappointing, in fact I gave up on it just 4 chapters in. I didn't feel involved with the characters and got to the point where I didn't care if they worked out their problems. I had bought two by the same author and did not finish either of them. This is a pity because there were areas along the way that showed flashes of inspiration.. but they didn't last.... at least for me. The characters just did not come alive,
and it did not live up to the publishers hype.
