Hi all!
I'm so very glad to be featuring Blood Reunited by Amber Belldene today.
The book is great (as are the other two!). Honestly, it's one of the best vampire series that I have ever read.
So here we go!
Oh and don't forget to check out my review of Blood Reunited tomorrow!
Blood Reunited (Blood Vine #3) by Amber Belldene
Publication: January 28th 2014 by Omnific Publishing
Brooding vampire halfling and biologist Bel Maras is determined to create a cure for the wasting disease that plagues his vampire family. His work becomes essential as the Hunters intensify their global and bloody campaign. When Bel's cure fails, only his ancient and estranged godmother Uta Ilirije can help. But seeing the ice-cold Uta reveals something shocking--she is his bonded mate.
She may be a dangerous warrior, but Uta feels her failures acutely. She has been unable to protect her kind from Hunters, and vampires are dying out. Worse, she tied Bel to her long ago in an accident of blood, then abandoned him for his own good--a choice he has never forgiven. Many days, she is convinced Bel and the vampires would be better off if she just walked into the sun.
Biology has fated them to be mates. Now these old enemies must overcome their past to save the vampires and come to peace with the bond they never chose.

Excerpt:
She flipped the arm separating their seats up and laced her hands into his hair, pulling his ear to her mouth. Her deft, slender tongue traced a wet line around the shell before she nibbled on the lobe with blunt teeth. Tingles crawled from his scalp down his shoulders and arms, and he pulled her onto his lap.
She whispered. "I have done many things in my life. But I am not yet a member of this club for people who have had sex on airplanes."
She was already fumbling between them for his belt, her tongue pressed between her lips in determination.
He pressed his forehead into hers and chuckled. "Yes."
He ached to be with her again like this, but he wouldn't make the same mistake as last time. This would change nothing.

About the author:
Amber Belldene grew up on the Florida panhandle, swimming with alligators, climbing oak trees and diving for scallops…when she could pull herself away from a book. As a child, she hid her Nancy Drew novels inside the church bulletin and read mysteries during sermons—an irony that is not lost on her when she preaches these days.
Amber is an Episcopal Priest and student of religion. She believes stories are the best way to explore human truths. Some people think it is strange for a minister to write romance, but it is perfectly natural to her, because the human desire for love is at the heart of every romance novel and God made people with that desire. She lives with her husband and two children in San Francisco
Stephanie, thank you so much for featuring Blood Reunited today! I am humbled that you think this is one of the best vampires series you've read. Wow. Seriously. Wow! I still remember going to the post office to send you a hard copy of Blood Vine almost a year ago--I'm so delighted you ended up liking the series!
