He appears out of the dark desert night — a huge, dangerous stranger who sparks desire and fear in her like she's never known. Josephine Elliot knows only that her captor's name is Marcus Cage, and that he's on the run. But who is chasing him, and why? Is Marcus protecting her by taking her hostage...or is he planning to use her to buy his own freedom? And why, above all, is she so inexorably drawn to him, body and soul?

Marcus is overwhelmed by his thirst for Josephine and instantly recognizes her as his soul mate. Desperate to evade enemies intent on destroying him and his kind, Marcus has no choice but to take Jo on the run. But when she unwittingly betrays him to his enemies, both are thrust into mortal danger. Can their newfound love survive her deceit and spare them a dark fate? Or will their insatiable desire burn for eternity?


I Thirst for You (Primes, #2) Reviews

    Opening Line: “Two things pain can do for you: sharpen you up or dull you down. It never does anything for your mood.”

    I’m pretty certain this was a case of the right book at the right time. And I say that because I’ve read some highly rated books lately that for whatever reason I’ve struggled to get through and yet couldn’t put this one down. It might just be that I haven’t read a paranormal (vampire) romance for ages and I welcomed the change from NA, YA, erotic shades of grey and romantic suspense, or it was a cleansing of the palate back from the days when I read nothing but vampire romances.( I think I must have missed them.) Then again maybe this was just an awesome book.

    Anyhow, I Thirst For You is the second in the Prime series and I loved it. Easily read as a standalone (some world background/clan history is provided) this is a great story that will hit all your secret vampire fantasy buttons (you’d forgotten about) and will also work for those of you (me) into the whole kidnapping/taken hostage/prisoner on the run thing -I personally love that theme. The story is very sexy, humorous, with good action scenes and an exciting yet somewhat predictable ending. All in all it’s a great ride, in fact for the first hundred pages or so I couldn’t put it down.

    Pilot Josephine Elliot is recovering from a plane crash which left her feeling responsible for the death of several of her passengers. Filled with guilt she has escaped to the quiet of the desert for a week of camping and solitude. Jo is also suffering because she is able to read emotions and right now needs to block the noise in her head.

    Vampire and ‘prime’ Marcus Cage has just escaped from a top secret lab and is running across the desert. He is very hungry having been starved, abused and used as a test subject for months. As Marcus moves through the desert night he senses Jo, not just her heartbeat and the blood coursing through her veins but something else too. She has that “it” qualifying her as his soul mate should he choose to act upon it and providing he doesn’t drain her dry first because he is so thirsty.

    For about half of this book Marcus holds Jo prisoner while he tries to outrun the bad guys and a raging forest fire set to flush him out. They stay in cheap motels and Jo initially spends a great deal of energy trying to escape (when she’s not hypnotized into sleep that is.) They soon begin sharing dreams/nightmares and Jo learns Marcus’ story, so that as much as she wants to escape him she also wants to help him and then she just plain wants him.

    Marcus is pretty great (as far as vampire kidnappers go) forceful yet also considerate and restrained (it is after all his birthright as ‘prime’ to have sex whenever and with whomever he chooses)

    There is an awesome foiled escape attempt (resulting in a Jeeps suspension getting a work out) and then Marcus lets her go having developed feelings and not wanting to risk Jo's safety any longer. The conclusion sees us back at the secret testing facility and began to remind me very much of Lora Leigh’s Breed series, with crazy scientists, genetic experimentation and hidden cameras while the bad dudes take their clothes, lock them up together and watch. Yeah.

    I liked this book up until the heroine told the hero, "You complete me." Give me a fricking break, that has to be one of the sappiest sayings ever! Note to future authors: Never say "you complete me", or if your book is medieval, don't use "saucy wench". I swear the next Scottish or Irish book I read that starts out with "saucy wench", I'm starting a drinking game and am going to do a shot for every time it's said. I plan to be thoroughly drunk by page 100.

    Okay, beyond what I just wrote, I loved the beginning, started out with lots of danger and just jumped in with both feet. Then the last 1/5 of the book was horribly sappy and I started wishing the book would just end. That's why I gave it a 3. I'd like to read more the series, but I'm going to wait until I order the next from the library. It wasn't good enough to put in front of other series that I like.

    I loved it! Marc and Jo were so funny and their bond with each other awesome.

    ***Slight Details***

    I don’t have much invested in the Prime series, but I found I THIRST FOR YOU to be a great in between book. I love how strong and different these Prime vampires feel from other vampire books.

    Prime vampire, Marcus Cage is running from scientists who want to find the answer to immortality, after escaping from their clutches.

    Weak, he searches for his bond mate, who will heal him faster, and finds Josephine “Jo” Elliot. Jo is struggling to recover from injuries as well as guilt after piloting a plane that crashed.

    Cage takes Jo ‘hostage’ as he continues to run from the danger, yet he can’t be truthful with Jo because of her multiple escape attempts and lack of trust in him at first.

    Their feelings do grow as their bond begins forming. Jo is reluctant to admit her feelings and she avoids the obvious truth that Cage is a vampire.

    Cage decides to let Jo go for her own safety until he can remove the threat to himself, his clan and Jo. Unfortunately, by not giving Jo the full truth, she unknowingly becomes a pawn and leads the men right to Cage.

    Now both captured, they play into the hands of the scientists and complete their bond, but what the scientist weren’t expecting was the added strength that allows them to escape with an unexpected hand.

    Getting married and taking time to strengthen their bond, Cage and Jo have truly come a long way from their first encounter.

  • Danielle

    A great series if you like the sexual strong male characters and their equally strong minded mates. For those who like vampires and romance will not want to put the book down. Marcus Cage is running from his captors in the Arizona desert when he stumbles upon Josephine Elliot who is camping there. Jo is a pilot struggling to cope from a crash that killed five passengers. The physic connection brings Marcus to Jo his breed mate. There is a lot of action in keeping one step away from Marcus' abductors and trying to keep his breed mate safe. Looking forward to the next book in this series.

    I know this book is a bit old for me....but it's REALLY good. Susan Sizemore is a good author and I love the way she portrays vampires. She's also pretty creative with the bonds between Primes and mortal women. She's very vivid with vampire sex I might add. It's not so much porn as a work of art. I many of her books it's a beautiful and sacred thing.

  • Sam B

    It's so problematic but I've loved this book for years so my 5 stars is very biased. I've read this more times than I can count and will probably read it again eventually.

  • Maura

    Marcus Cage is a Prime who just recently escaped from a privately held compound where they conducted experiments on him to try to learn the secret to immortality. He's fortunate when he's out, prowling the night, that the woman he comes across camping in the desert is his soul mate, because now he has a food source and he can keep her with him. Josephine though is not quite so appreciative of being kidnapped. She's also not sure about the guy since he keeps biting her and acting strange - but she never really cottons on to the fact that he's a vampire. Well, not until after he releases her and she, full of good intentions and thinking she's helping him, leads the villain straight to him. Then they get locked up together - and now she knows he's a vampire. And they're only shot at getting out is to complete the pair bonding that has started between them.

    I'd said after reading the first one that I would only stay with the series if the following books were at least as good or better than the first. So far, I keep reading, because this was a small improvement over the first one. For starters the book did not end abruptly, everything was definitely wrapped up and I didn't feel like Josephine was entering into a pair bond with her eyes closed and no concept of what she was about to do. I also think the action and drama in this story was ramped up significantly and that this story was therefore far more engaging. Seriously - I was 40% in before I looked down at my little percent marker on my kindle and was surprised I'd read so far so quickly. And a lot of that had to do with the dynamic between Josephine and Marcus during his kidnapping of her. I may not have liked the way he treated her, but their interactions were certainly never boring. He doesn't rape her or beat her or anything and he's not exactly cruel to her... but Marcus does not treat her like she's his soul mate and therefore the most important person in his life. He treats her like she's a steak on legs and he's not particularly considerate with her. Case in point: Marcus keeps feeding off of her to get his energy back, so he keeps trying to feed her food so she'll replenish the blood he's taking (so he can eat again). He first gives her hamburgers, after which she tells him that she's a vegetarian. She eats the hamburger anyway, but Marcus, despite being reminded of her dietary preferences, he keeps feeding her meat and telling her to get used to it from now on. It may be a silly example and a small detail, but it is very telling about Marcus's attitude with his soul mate. Things will be his way or not at all. (And don't get me started on the author's light treatment of vegetarianism, as though it's a silly fad, something she can give up after 10 years without a qualm...she didn't even hesitate to scarf down hamburgers and later on her own ordered a plate of sausages, again without any hesitation whatsoever).

    He also has just come from a captive situation himself and the first thing he does is capture his soul mate, the woman he'll love forever and then takes away her freedom...because nothing says love like inflicting the very thing you hate on the person you love. In the first part of the story, Marcus just came across as selfish...so I was surprised that Josephine fell in love with him. He does admit that he was in survival mode and not acting his normal self at the time, but I feel like a soul mate would take care of his love no matter what. Marcus improves himself majorly by the halfway point and starts acting like the devoted soul mate he should be. There's still plenty of tension at that point as well. There was one point though to indicate that maybe he's still being a bit selfish - after Marcus feeds from her at one point Josephine says he should be asking permission before biting her. He brushes that aside and later feeds from her again without asking (though one could argue the assent was implied since she was having sex with him at the time), but she made her preferences known and he ignored them. So I don't know how much I liked Marcus. But I did enjoy reading their story and I will continue on to the next book in the series, since this was better than the first one for me. So we'll see how it goes...

    Pilot Josephine Elliot was camped alone in the desert, treating her guilt over a plane crash that left people dead with liberal solitude when abused escapee Marcus Cage thundered toward her like a runaway train with his captors on his heels. Recognizing Jo as his mate Marc also felt her empathic power, panic and fear. Marc eased his feeding for Jo, she was his mate and her blood was his survival.

    Marc enthralls Jo as he seeks shelter to regain his strength and elude his captors. Fearing rape, Jo can't think beyond being Marc's prisoner but learns of his ability to read her mind. In hiding and on the run the pair share dreams, despite the growing evidence Jo refuses to admit Marc is a vampire and continues to think of escape. Marc's captors go to extremes to recapture him.

    The pair moves to seek alternate shelter as Jo remembered her captivity. She uses every opportunity to escape and finally succeeds. That proved to be a grave error for couple as Marc had shared and hid enough pertinent information to make Jo dangerous. When she falls into the shrewd clutches of his pursuers, Jo's used as a pawn that leads to Marc's recapture, their reunion and a full bonding.

    Surprisingly, Jo's captivity over the first third was easy to read and not as dry as it added depth to both Marc and Jo. The meaty plot naturally contained suspense and danger which played out well during the last two thirds or so of the read. For this readers taste, the dry humor and good chemistry between the leads made the outing a more even read than its predecessor.

    Not my cuppa. I hate mystical bonds, all the excuses so you don't have to write a romance. There was no reason for the love story nor for her idiocy honestly.
    Possibly an ok book., but I wasn't in the mood and skipped a lot. Ergo the one star.

    2+ stars

  • Linda MARIE Pankow

    This was such a great read. I loved every minute of it.

  • Erica

    This was a great improvement on the previous book! Cage - vampire - escapes his captors to find Jo, his fated mate. Only she doesn't know so he *obviously* has to kidnap her. Enemies to lovers/forced proximity Yada yada. It's suspenseful and intriguing! So far every vampire and human fated mate all have some level of psychic ability. So far this series is fast-paced and easy to read.

  • Kristen

    Well, as the series goes, these seem to be getting marginally better. I just hate the fact that I am going to hit #5 and have to re-read it since I now have so much more background knowledge. I guess I am a little more used to each book in a series re-telling me just enough so I don't feel lost (in case there is significant time elapsing between reading the latest in a series and the previous) or if, like I did here, I start out of order (by accident or otherwise).

    Here we have Jo and Marcus - who we see a little of again in book #5 - and it's interesting to see what Marcus is running from. There is definitely more "together time" for them - so we can see their relationship build. And I get her trauma and her issues and am glad to have that background. The dialogue is better and the character development seems to be getting better too. And, it's nice to see that while Marcus falls in love with Jo almost instantly this book puts it out there that this is the result of one of the rules of this universe and the whole bonding thing. So, it makes it a little more "believable" (as believable as anything can be in this genre anyway!). Although for a vamp without any strength and very little power because of how much the bad guys starved him originally, he sure can pull the whole brain manipulating thing out when ever he feels like it. And as a regular blood donor - I get the whole being thirsty thing and wanting to eat after "donating" but the constant hunger/thirst/being so sleepy got a little tiring after the first few times we see her donate to Marcus.

    The introduction to the werefoxes was also great. I loved how Marcus later called them fox hippies (or something like that). The fact that Marcus wanted to just ignore them but couldn't really let you feel Jo's struggle with what to think of Marcus.

    Where this book fell down a little was on the villains. Gavin and "the Patron"... please. "The Patron"? How cheesy. Although having read Primal Heat and the whole vampire/it thing this shouldn't have surprised me. Gavin and the other mad scientists didn't need to call him "The Patron" - there are other writing techniques that would still keep his identity secret yet not leaving me feeling like the author has no imagination whatsoever. Which is where I find myself. Not to mention how gullible Jo turns out to be when Gavin pretends to be with "an agency" (again, how very creative of the author - an unnamed federal agency that we are told is not the FBI... even something as cheesy as the Patron was an attempt) - even though she is without her empath ability at the time - I find as a major inconsistency in her as a character. Maybe that too speaks to Ms. Sizemore's lack of creativity. I can think of at least 4 other ways to have had Jo lead the bad guys to Marcus that would have been more fun and creative, but, alas, none of them are how the book reads.

    Firmly entrenched in a series now by an author who is not really all that creative. Nor is she very steamy as a general rule. 2 more to go out of the 5 I had. And unless those 2 hit grand-slams, no more Sizemore for me. My steaminess factor (still nameless at the moment) is a 3 out of 5. That was better then the first 2, but still no competition for the Brotherhood (no JR Ward knows how to write a steamy story!)

    I don't know why I haven't heard of Susan Sizemore before.  Her novels aren't all that bad, there actually quite exceptional.  This novel in particular had me jumping up and down with joy.  I don't get to read many novels that involve a kidnapper/kidnape romance and this is exactly what I got.  It certainly didn't disappoint me and I'm only sorry that i hadn't read it any sooner.  I read this novel in no time, because of how good the story's plot was.  The characters went so great with this novel that it's almost too perfect.  I’m so glad that I own this novel, because it's one that I'll definitely reread over and over again.  In this novel the main characters are Jo and Marcus.  Jo is a pilot that's being haunted by her last flight.  Since the accident she's been able to hear others thoughts more clearly and they're starting to take their toll on her.  Hoping to find some peace she takes a weeklong trip into the desert by herself.  At the same moment, Marcus escapes from his prison and hears Jo's emotional call.  After finding her, he decides to keep her for himself.  Being kidnapped probably wasn't on Jo's plan for her trip, but she also shouldn't have been camping alone either.  Marcus thinks he recognizes her for what she is to him, his bondmate, so keeping her is his most likely choice.  However, Marcus needs to run and run fast.  There are crazy people after him that want to use him in their experiments.  Torturing him until he reveals the secret to long lives.  He won't let them take him back and now on top of that he has a female to watch out for.  Jo doesn't make it easy on him either.  Trying to get away is becoming one of her specialties and she does it rather well.  That is until she's caught each time, but it's the thought that counts.  The people who want Marcus back will stop at nothing to get him.  Even if it means harming Jo in the process.  So when a few traps are set to lure him out Marcus has to use his wits to protect himself and Jo.  Their lives depend on it now more than ever.  This novel had a very good plot to it.  It wasn't very slow or fast, it has a nice pace to it that makes it exciting to read.  It's a romance novel with an exciting plot that every woman wants to be in.  The risk of exposure and the thought of actually flight makes it all the more stimulating to the reader.  The cover of this novel went right along with the plot.  It was a little enticing, but not overly enticing.  It didn't mislead the reader into thinking that it's nothing but a sex novel.  This is an urban fantasy novel that sidelines as a romance novel.  I would recommend this novel to anyone that wants to read a good quality novel by a little known author.  It's a very good read and one that deserves a little credit to it.  You won't be disappointed if you pick up this novel.  It's definitely worth your time.

    I read the first book in the series, I BURN FOR YOU, in August 2010. At that time I had really gotten into the whole vampire/paranormal genre, but other than the Anita Blake books, almost all of what I'd read had been lighter fare, chick lit type or bordering on chick lit. I BURN FOR YOU was a darker than I was used to and took a little bit for me to get into. The mythology behind the vamps in this world was also more convoluted and confusing than I was used to. I don’t really remember much about that first book now, but I did like it enough to search out the second book, though it then went into my huge TBR pile until now.

    Fortunately, this second book can be read as a stand alone, and not remembering much about the first book didn’t affect my enjoyment of this one. I don’t know if that will apply to later books in the series, as the mythology behind the vamps was only briefly touched upon in this one and was not really integral to the storyline, and I didn’t experience the same slight confusion I felt with the first book.

    Marcus Cage has escaped from a lab, where he had been held captive as a test subject. Jo Elliot is an empath, and after a plane crash that left her scarred and feeling guilty for not being able to rescue all her passengers, she is camping out in the desert in order to get away from everyone’s emotions and be alone. Running through the desert Marcus picks up on the connection between them and knows she is his destined mate. I’m not a fan of the destined mate genre. I’d rather see two characters meet, get to know each other and fall in love, not just meet and love each other instantly because they are fated to do so. I liked the fact that Jo, as a human, while certainly drawn to Marcus, does not recognize him as her soul mate, and in fact spends a lot of time scared and trying to figure out how to escape from him. For her the love did build up slowly over time, though granted it was over a short period of time.

    For a good half of the book, Jo is definitely a prisoner, with Marcus occasionally tying her up to keep her in one place (not in a sexual way), and often using his own psychic powers to make her sleep away long periods of time. The mind manipulation I was a little uncomfortable with. I understand why he did it, but it just seemed a little underhanded to do to your soul mate, even if she doesn’t realize she is your soul mate. Of course, she paid him back ten fold when she later led his enemies right to him. But I’m not going into the plot any further than that as that might be spoilery.

    I enjoyed it, it was a quick read, and now I’m off to hunt down book 3.

  • Paranormal Romance

    He is a runaway, escaping a top secret compound trying to find the source of immortality. Starved,
    and half insane with anger over his imprisonment, Marc has a sudden and intense mental link with
    a nearby women in the middle of the woods. That powerful of a psychic means she is meant to be his and he will stop at nothing to have her.

    Jo is trying to seclude herself from the trauma of the plane crash that left all her passengers
    dead and herself physically and emotional scarred. Out of nowhere, comes this brute of a man
    who kidnaps her and has a bad habit of biting her neck. Though she is a prisoner, Jo has a
    crazy desire for Marc. One that makes her half hearted attempts at escape laughable.

    It's Marc that lets her, believing in him needing to get himself in order before he truly can
    be good enough for her. It's only when they separate that Jo falls victim to a trick used by Marc's
    enemies and once again, they find themselves in a cage.

    While I didn't dislike this book, there were a lot of aspects of it that left me a little uneasy.
    Maybe it's age (my first time reading this book was over 12 years ago) but the whole love/kidnapping plotline was cringe. Jo never acted like how a normal woman would in her situation. She wasn't afraid or angry and she was even sexually attracted to him. That wasn't really a fine portrait of feminism and to be honest, it put it off. Maybe is this book had been longer then 300 pages, the author could have gone more in depth into that storyline but as it stands, the book was rushed. The majority of the book was sexual encounters of some kind, the last half being the imprisonment in the facility. Jo had a muddled but somewhat defined character. She was tortured and sassy at the same time. Marc was a bit empty. He has times of humor but other then that was a typical 'Prime'. (And not optimus) A beefcake with a big dick basically.

    This book was better then the first int he series but still not great.

  • Angela

    I finally read it, and enjoyed it as much as I Burn for You, in fact I am going to see if there are more than just the first three (I have the next one, Hunger for you, and have started it all ready :-)

    Beware the spoilers that start below:

    So this is the story of Marcus Cage, a renegade vampire who is being hunted by mad scientists intent on discovering the secret to immortality. He has escaped, and runs (hunts down) our heroine, Josephine, known as Jo, although our guy calls her by her full name. She is an empath and he is drawn to her psychicness.

    He of course kidnaps her, because that is the way to cement a relationship, but he refuses to rape her, even though he wants her so bad he can hardly stand it. After several days (weeks??) of hunkering down in hotel rooms together she gives in, as she wants him as badly as he wants her...this could partly be because he has been taking her blood, he needs the strength to get rid of the bad stuff the mad scientists put in his system. Anyway...they begin the bonding process and ... then he lets her go. Because he is afraid for her safety. she gets duped by the mad scientists to leading them to Marcus (because by now she can sense him)...and they are both captured. They eventually escape, with some help from Colin (who I think was also in the first book), and get away, and live happily ever after...for now anyway.

    I really liked the characters...Marcus was bad, but with some morals, and he was funny. gotta love the humor. And Josephine was strong, but not too strong. She is the one who ends up saving the day, as she is a pilot ;-). Anyway, it is a cheesy romance story, and I really liked it. Yeah for cheesy romance.

  • Sumit

    Unbelievably surprising, in a good way.

    I think I have a thing for paranormal romance, they linger for longer periods of time when I am done with the story :) loved it!!

  • ♡ Sassy ~ Amy ♡

    This was a straight up story. No depth, except when Jo & Marc talked to each other. Every action happened and that was it. It was also VERY predictable because it was. Example: Jo is a pilot, she notices a plane. That's all you get at first. They try to escape. Marc suggests a humvee...Good GOD! "Oh! The plane, I forgot!" really? in 12 hrs! You are a pilot! DUH!! Predictable!This happens throughout the story.

    My quirps (NO SURPRISES!!) The cover for 1. I mean for real! This is a curly haired then shaved bald guy and a blonde wearing no make-up! What's on the cover? Longer straight hair and a brunette wearing blood red lipstick. Whatever #1.

    Another quirp. Guy is described as not so good looking with a nose too big for his face... REALLY!! So I am supposed to picture a sexy Carl Malden?? Ummm NO! Ewwww! Whoever describes your sexy hot guy as not so good looking? Whatever #2!!


    Yet another quirp. You got a smaller woman and a huge Vampire guy having sex on a concrete & a tile floor twice! Who does that in a book. Big guy, small girl?? Up on a wall! Him crushing her on a hard floor with no sheets or towel.. NOT HAPPENING!!


    Oh yes! The biggie, and I was warned! "You complete me!" Not really a cheesy statement, but it was WAY in the wrong spot! THAT made the moment SOOOO cheesy! Stupid!


    OK... Good points that earned stars... It was a fast read! Large print. The characters didn't talk cheesy.The story itself was halfway decent. I will read the books I have already, but I am not going to search them out.

    I had this book for about 10 years now. So I've read this a few times. I do like it but found Jo really annoying. She was so ignorant when it came to Gavin manipulating her. She's supposed to be empathic or whatever. Conveniently, at the time she couldn't read Gavin's thoughts. Really? Did she not think it was weird that a stranger was holding her against her will in a guarded place though? Whereas with Marc, she HAD the chance to leave him, but she chose not to. That was her own trust. She should have felt the sleazy weirdness from Gavin. If Marc was dangerous, why would be tell her about his captivity? Why would he warn her about going to the police? Yet, what was the first thing she did when she was questioned? Spill everything and believe Gavin the slick prick. ('cuse my language) She was an irritation to read. Other than that, I loved the book. 3.5/5 Rating for me.

  • ceecee

    I've read a couple of Susan Sizemore's Vampire novels and they seem to have the same premise. I wish the novel's varied a little bit more, but I still enjoy reading her books. I love reading books about men on the brink of being lost who inevitably come back because of the love of a good woman.

    When Marcus escapes a testing facility the last thing he thought would happen was that he'd find his lifemate. Still, even though he's found her at the worst possible time, he's not about to let her go.... unless it's for her own good. On the run and trying to survive might not be the perfect time to woo your mate, but hey a man has to work with what he's got and Josephine Elliott isn't putting up much of a fight.

    This story was great on many fronts. It was a quick and easy read, the characters and plot were easy to follow and Susan Sizemore does a great job of introducing the next book at the end. If you like Vampire novels then this is a good one to try.

  • Samantha

    This was the very first romance novel I read, and got me 'hooked' on romance. This is a very...filling book.
    When i first read the description, I must admit, I was very intrigged with the plot.
    I must admit, that if a man - or anyone for that matter - came out from the darkness in the middle of nowhere in the desert and claims to be a vampire who has escaped from a lab with mad scientists, I too, would have thought him mad.

    But the thrill of the chase, the mystery of one very fast, big, scary and of course, we can never forget, SEXY man/vampire is one thing that I would L.O.V.E. to have come into my life.
    I would recommend it to anyone who love a sexy vampire, with a thirst for a woman that he doesn't need right now, but cannot stand to live without her in is life. I think that this is a very, very interesting book that almost anyone could enjoy.

    The second book in the vampire series - “Primes”.

    Everything about this book was structured and paced perfectly, like ocean waves crashing on the beach, it kept your emotions rolling along and on the edge wanting to know what happens next. Plenty of sex and sexual tension throughout. A small hint of Primes background was given of their society groups letting you know the types – Clans, Families, Tribes. This time around you get more of a sense of the characters and have more of a connection to them. I can say two thumbs up for Sizemore, she’s finally gotten her “writing” footing under her with this new series.

    If you like the on the run theme, this Vampire Romance is one of the best out there. The world building is excellent, creative, and compelling.

    Josie is great heroine and watching Marcus fall in love is great stuff.

    If you love Vampire but are sick of the same old same old, try this series.

    This book can be read as a stand alone though.

    This love story has humor, action, well done sexy times, and a couple you really want to have a happy ending.

    A really fun and original book with a set of themes that allow the couple to really spend time with each other.

    Great reading!

    I Thirst for You is a great paranormal romance that delivers some action and adventure as well. This is the first book that I read by Sizemore, and I really enjoyed it and hope to read more by this author. This book is part of a series, but I was able to follow things just fine so it can be read as a stand alone. Sizemore does a great job at developing both of her main characters and also sets up a hint of a character that I am assuming appears later in the series in a later book which I always enjoy getting a glimpse of what is to come. Overall this was a great read, and I would recommend it if you want an enjoyable paranormal romance.
