Summary: Hot!!! Few Caveats
Comment: Have you ever read a book with snappy dialog, hot romance and great characters? That fits "I burn for you" to a "T". In particular I got the feeling that these characters were contemporary people. The author does a great job of making the characters 'modern' (which is something of a failure amongst modern romance writers who seem to write old fogey characters in young bodies). Not so with Susan Sizemore's writing. Her characters have snappy dialog, fun humor, and modern outlook. (And yes they even cuss and talk like modern adults).
I particularly thought Alec was a great character. Fun sense of humor, and despite the pain he was going, through he was interesting and controlled.
Caveats? There was an 'almost-rape' scene at the beginning that made me a trifle uncomfortable after reading it. I prefer to avoid reading forced seduction if I can possibly help it. Fortunately, these scenes are few and far between in most modern novels. Also, I felt Alec's reasoning for seeking his 'treatment' was not well explained and was focused on a tad too much. Who wants to read about a main character going through a therapy for pages and pages..? I prefer vampires who are 'happy' with their vampiric condition. Second...Enough with the baby-making-turned-vampire heroines. Being a hatchery for Vampire spawn isn't romantic, and has been done to death in Feehan's series. How about some single vampires who are happy that way and don't want kids?
Overall, this is a promising start. I enjoyed the dialog, and well written characters. With the exception of what was mentioned under Caveats, this a series to watch.

Summary: One terrific read
Comment: If you are looking for a blood, guts, and gore vampire novel this book is not for you. If on the other hand you are looking for romance, action, and a great fast paced story this is a great read. I could not put it down. So much for house work and other such nonsense. The story will grab you from the very first page. This is my first time reading a Susan Sizemore novel. I very well might have to find a place for her beside my Christine Feehan and Maggie Shayne collections.

Summary: I'd be willing to burn the book
Comment: Although I rarely read contemporary romances, the reviews made this sound like a good possibility. I managed to finish it. But it required effort. This book is more adventure/thriller and lust than romance, and the thriller part is not urgent enough to keep the pages turning and is too quickly resolved to justify its word count.
The relationship between Alec and Domini is never given emotional depth, and Domini seems to readily give up all her previous views on life at the end. Sizemore simply did not make me believe in them as a couple.
