Bloodlust & Redemption Blurb: Conflicted by his ideas of fate and morality, David Ardington IV, who had been a rake in life, sees his eternal life as a vampire as a penance for shirking his noblesse oblige to his family when he was alive.
When he meets Margaret, a sturdy maiden who after losing her parents in a tragic accident stifled her own needs to care for her sick brother, their attraction is immediate and undeniable. And yet, David fights his feelings for Margaret seeing her as the worst reminder of what he is and what he can never be again. In the midst of the cruel realities of his vampire existence, David fears for her safety unsure if he can keep separate his physical longings from his bloodlust.

Furthermore, when Margaret asks him to turn her brother to give him a second chance at life, he does not feel he can condemn anyone to the horrors of his dark existence either. For David, could redemption lie in doing the unthinkable Margaret asks of him, or will it forever be elusive?
“A great little piece of writing I had the pleasure to peruse over the weekend was Kiki Howell's Bloodlust and Redemption.
This short read takes place during the Regency period inEngland
What happens from there? Well, love, lust, and a little more than everyone bargained for, including David the vampire. Kiki did a good job of making him a likeable, noble rogue; a once titled, rich boy who squandered it on drink and women until one fateful night when he got into too much trouble.
This story is classified by the author as erotica, and though I'm not very much into that genre I did find the love scenes tastefully done and certainly not over-the-top. All in all it's a very good, entertaining read and I do recommend it.” ~Nicole Hadaway, Literary Paranormal Author of Release
