From a long line of blood servants, LENA ISAAKSON is destined to serve a vampire, but a string of humiliating rejections thwarts her pleasure. When Kos shows her kindness, she hopes he will claim her. Instead he proves himself a coward in the face of love and sends her to serve another.
Will the dark seduction of a rakish new vampire finally bring Lena the pleasure she desires or deliver her into the hands of Hunters who want to destroy everything the Maras family has worked for?

My Review
5 of 5 Blood Entangled
Amber you have totally hit the mark with this sequel to the series. I mean I loved Andre and Zoey but when I realized this would be Kos's story I just about died. I couldn't get enough of him to save my life. He is so full of love and compassion but his mother's death has left him haunted and he swears off love even though it will be different for him he still swears love off. He rather have a closed off heart than a broken one. Plus we get to see more of Lena. I have to say that at first I didn't like her because she was going after Andre but he put a stop to that and said no thank you and told her to leave. In her rough departure from Andre Kos comes to the rescue and he comforts her. What was shocking was how he felt about her but he has so much on his plate that he definitely does not need a distraction like Lena.
See Lena comes from a long line of blood servants and she is looking for a vampire to serve. She thought that vampire was Andre but he does not want her. When she is comforted by Kos she starts to have these feelings and she is not sure where they are coming from but she starts to really care for Kos and wants to be his servant but Kos has sworn off love and does not want another distraction on his plate because he needs to get the cure out to all the sick vampires. But Kos can't deny what he feels for Lena and as he tries to fight it he finds himself helping her once again because he sends her off to be with another vampire but he is soon realizing it was a mistake. The hunters are out in full force and are recruiting more hunters and they have a hunter in this book that is ready and able and willing to take out a vampire at anytime in any place.
So what is Kos to do? What will happen between him and Lena when he learns of some secrets that have been kept from him? Will Kos let Lena serve him? Will the hunters get the vampires in the end? Another great read and I hope there are going to be more books because I truly love love this series!

Blood Vine (Blood Vine #1) by Amber Belldene
Synopsis:
In Blood Vine, bites are an inconvenient bliss, exiled vampires are wasting away, and the fate of their kind depends on the perfect PR campaign.
When public relations pro Zoey Porter arrives at an enchanting California winery, she discovers her sexy new client is the almost one-night stand she can’t forget. After her husband’s suicide, Zoey has vowed never to risk her heart again. But can she walk away from the intriguing winemaker a second time?
Driven from Croatia by his ancient foes, vampire Andre Maras has finally made a blood-like wine to cure his fellow refugees. Now he needs Zoey’s PR expertise to reach them. After his wife’s death, Andre has a vow of his own—never to risk another painful blood bond. And one taste of the tempting Zoey would bind him to her eternally.
His secrets stall her PR plans. Her jealousy is stoked by the blissed-out beauties leaving his bedroom. At every turn, he utterly fails to resist her. When she discovers he is a vampire, will she be lost to the golden-eyed Hunters, or lose herself to the emptiness in her heart, before she can help him save his kind?

My Review
5 of 5 Blood Vine
First I have to give a huge shot out to Literati Author Services for allowing me to be on this awesome tour. anyone who knows me knows I love vampire stories. I love the good the bad and the ugly stories. No matter what it is I read it and soak up the words like a sponge starving for water. So let me tell you this about Blood Vine this is a little gem that people need to read. I mean there are so many things that happen in this book that it is like riding a roller coaster of a book ride. First we meet Zoey who is a public relations consultant and let me tell you she is good at her job. She throws herself into her work because she has lost her husband and she is still mourning him after all this time. She knows she needs to move on but it is hard so she works her butt off and that is her mind distraction. Not to mention she almost had a one night stand but could not go through with it so she left him sitting on the bar stool and walked away.
Fast forward and we see that Zoey has a new client who owns his own vineyard and she is going to help him out with his promotion of the vineyard. When Zoey goes to meet her client she just about dies because it is none other than her almost one night stand. Andre is not only the owner of the vineyard but he is a vampire. A vampire that was run out of his home in Croatia by hunters. He and his fellow vampires that have been banished from Croatia are in trouble if they don't find a cure for the disease that is killing them. Andre has figured out a way to use ingredients from his home in Croatia and his wine from the vineyard to cure his fellow vampires but he needs help getting the word out and that is where Zoey comes in.
But what happens when the hunters find out? Will they come after Andre? Will the hunters come after Zoey as well because she is helping him get the word out about his wine? What happens when the flames flicker brighter between Zoey and Andre?What will Zoey do when she finds out that Andre is a vampire? This book is a must read if you love vampires like I do!
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.
