As a witch, Rowan Broom knew how to read the warning signs sent from the goddess. So when she saw the moon change into crimson fangs, she knew that something very dangerous was coming her way. Little did she know just how strange her life was going to get. At her nightly job as a fortuneteller at Gothic Noire, she finds the source of the goddess's warning, Rickart Holt. Though she found it hard to believe that real vampires existed, the cards didn't lie. Having to rescue Rick from a power stealing sorcerer made Rowan understand just how bizarre things were going to become.
When Rick discovered how powerful a witch Rowan was, he knew that he had found the solution to his problems. Things were becoming a bit strange for him as well, and considering he was a vampire, that was saying something. Klaus, a very old and powerful vampire, had become an unwelcome houseguest and he hoped that Rowan would be able to help him send him on his way. The fierce attraction to the spirited redhead was just an added bonus to her magical powers. He was soon to realize that Klaus was the least of his worries.
While fighting for control of their magic and their lives against powerful beings determined to use them, Rowan and Rick form an unlikely alliance. An alliance that soon turns into the love they have been searching for their whole lives. Though they have become more powerful through their connection, will it be enough to free them from the nefarious creatures sent to destroy them?
If you are a fan of Laurell K Hamilton's Anita Blake series, you will love Morgan Hawke's House of Shadows! Though they are very different in writing style and character personalities, Enchantment in Crimson has the same addictive feel this reviewer so loved about Ms. Hamilton's books. Rowan and Rick have delightfully real qualities that make them very believable characters. Ms. Hawke's villains are wicked and powerful, yet strangely likable. This reviewer is still unsure if they are going to remain villains or if at some point, they will become a part of Rowan and Rick's inner circle. To say this is an awesome book is an understatement. Highly entertaining characters, dry, witty, and sometimes silly humor, non-stop action, and extremely erotic sex make this book a must read for anyone who wants a story that will forever remain in their thoughts. This reviewer begs Ms. Hawke to finish book two in this series, because this is one reader that has been hooked!Reviewed by: Kathi
