Refrain - Neriza: A Vampire Blood Courtesan Romance Kindle Edition

by Susan Griscom (Author) Format: Kindle Edition
4.4 out of 5 stars 63 ratings
One fateful night changed my life forever and brought secrets to light I never could have imagined, leaving me parentless, penniless, and caring for an ailing sister. My father was not the man I thought I knew, and his greed and sickness have left me with virtually nothing to use to care for my sister and get her the treatments she needs to maybe one day walk again. And now, we might lose our house, as well.Luckily, an ad in the paper helps me regain some hope. I have something to barter with that not many courtesans have, after all, and it just might be enough to earn what’s needed to secure my future as a successful Blood Courtesan. My first client turns out to be the man of my dreams, the sexy-as-sin vampire rock star I’ve lusted after since I was a teen, but he wants nothing to do with me or what I have to offer.My father’s misdeeds continue to haunt me and I’m left with only one option: I need to make the talented and headstrong Lyric Rivers desire me, or lose everything. Maybe even my life.The Blood Courtesans Series, where vampires are real, rich, powerful--and hungry.Blood is bought and sold like fine wine, and the best blood goes to the highest bidder.It's not supposed to be about love ... until it is.Originally published in the Blood Courtesans Boxed Set: Awakenings.

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Susan writes paranormal and contemporary romance—steamy and sexy are the way they usually turn out. She's a huge fan of superheroes and bad boys confronted with extraordinary forces of nature, powers, and abilities beyond the norm mixed with hot, blow-your-socks-off romance.

She grew up in a small town in Pennsylvania doing a lot of daydreaming. It’s no big surprise that she writes romance stories since many nights as a child, she would lay awake fantasizing about her knight in shining armor.

Her wild imagination sparked her first story at the age of twelve; a story that her sixth-grade teacher adopted for the class play that year. Having never achieved fame and fortune for that play, she attempted life the normal way with other activities, such as, working as a food lab technician, bartender, cell phone repair technician, and mom.

Now she lives in Northern California, where she still spends a lot of time daydreaming. She loves to drink wine, and fortunately, there are several local wineries close by. Together, she and her modern-day knight have five great superhero kids, ten mini-superhero grandkids, six grandpups, and a too-intelligent border collie named Xena Warrior Princess, who has stolen her heart and keeps her very active.

When she's not writing, she enjoys hanging out with friends and family, wine tasting, dancing, kayaking, paddle boarding, and throwing a green ball for that very smart border collie.

    5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic addition to the Blood Courtesans world.

    I love the world of the Blood Courtesans. Lyric had his reasons for his phobia about taking her blood, but how is Neriza supposed to NOT take that personally? That girl had the weight of the world on her shoulders and she was not backing down. I liked that a lot about her. I loved Neriza's solution to Lyric's phobia. This was a prime example of the type of book I love to read. The betrayal and pure evil of someone very close to Lyric and Neriza will try to destroy them both.

    I really enjoyed this novella, Neriza & Lyric were a perfect match, especially once Lyric got over his fears!

    I hated uncle Lars/Lorenzo, he got what he deserved in the book!

    I really liked Lyrics band mates as well, especially Cass who helped him out in the story.

    I was also happy for Nina, Neriza's younger sister. She deserved to have something good happen for her too.

    I wish Nina and Cass could get a book, whether as a match or individually.

    Neriza needs money and decides to be a blood courtesan. Her parents died in a car accident but her sister survived and paralyzed. Lyric needed a courtesan to take on tour. What happens was not what Neriza expected. Drama happens, secrets shared. Not all is good. Read on, very good book.

    4.0 out of 5 stars Great Blood Courtesan story with some great twists too
    Reviewed in the United Kingdom on 27 September 2018
    Verified Purchase
    Neriza's life went into a tailspin when a car accident leaves her with no parents, a sister who is severely injured and completely poverty stricken. Then she sees an advert in the paper and a solution seems clear to her - become a Blood Courtesan. However her first client is her teen idol pop star Lyric Rivers and bizarrely he doesn't want anything to do with her after paying for her. Then things take a turn for the worst when her father's misdeeds come to haunt her putting them all in danger. Can she solve the problem left my her Dad, make Lyric want her and keep her heart intact?

    This is a great addition to the Blood Courtesans series of books and had a few really great twists in the story that you won't see coming (I certainly didn't). I loved the way it built up and the anticipation of how great things could and hopefully would be between Neriza and Lyric. Well told and described it was easy to pick up the thoughts and emotions of the characters involved in the story and get involved in their story.

    Love the blood courtesan series, this author knows how to write vampire romance. Just enough intensity and danger to live up to the vampire life without going overboard into the gory. The story line at times flows a bit lyrical and also has its steamy & humorous moments. Very convincing....Loved it!!!
