I thought Dark Velvet by Lisa Carlisle sounded interesting and it was available as part of a stuff your kindle event, so I figured why not pick this up. I waited until the perfect time to read, when I was feral for a vampire romance. And then, bam, disappointment. We never see why Savannah and Antoine are desperate for one another. It literally just randomly happens one day while she’s at this artist’s colony. We get more substance off the synopsis than we did the book. The spice didn’t hit and there was just something icky about the entire thing. Plus, there was barely anything vampy. It just didn’t fit any craving.
