Clancy is a
young woman pledging for a sorority at college. In order
to do so, she must return from the Queen of Vampires
home with a bouquet of flowers unscathed. Her actual
dare is to sneak in and get them but Clancy doesn’t feel
right doing so. So instead, she wakes up the Queen,
Leonor, and asks her for some. Leonor has no problem giving Clancy tons of flowers, but for a payment. And what a payment it will be…one that neither will ever forget. Leonor’s going to get a taste of Clancy before the evening is through. However, can she stop with just a taste? She doesn’t think so. And from Clancy’s reaction, she doesn’t want her to stop either. Ever. Is being with Leonor really what Clancy wants? She’s never thought of being with a woman before. She’d always been attracted to men up until now. So what is she supposed to do? Should she go against everything she’s ever believed and wanted on a chance that the two of them are meant to be together? And what would people think of her, in a relationship with another woman, a vampire queen at that? So starts a love affair where neither party will ever be able to be without the other. Leonor can’t get enough of the sweet, young and passionate Clancy. Clancy can’t get over how amazing Leonor makes her feel with a touch, or a look, or a taste. But is it going to be enough for both parties to be happy? Wow. 5 Angels for both The Garden House and for authors Mia Cherish and Jacqueline Quaid. A story with romance and erotica mixed in with love and fear. What else could someone want out of a story? Leonor’s the centuries old vampire falling in love with a young Clancy who can’t figure out if she wants her or not. At the same time, Clancy’s still into men, which continues to confuse her. Both heartbreaking and hopeful. What an amazing, heartfelt, erotic story. It kept me salivating from the beginning to the end and left me begging for more. Although usually not my type of book, I figured I would take a chance on it. I am so glad that I did. I will definitely be recommending the book and the authors to everyone I talk to. Please write more books you two. Reviewed by: Amanda H. _____________________ |

Leonor,an
ancient New Orleans-based vampire, wakes at dusk to a
knock on the rear gate of her garden. The visitor is
there to collect flowers from Leonor’s garden for her
sorority sisters. The sorority girls expect her to steal
them, but she’s decided to be courteous instead, and
wake up the vampiress to ask first. The closer Leonor is
to the girl, the stronger the conviction that she knows
her! As it turns out, Leonor did have a connection, through her brother, to the girl’s ancestress, back around 1830 or so. She suggests that since her offer of a large donation of flowers to the sorority results in taking the flowers’ lives, a similar donation of blood to herself would be in order, and invites the girl Clancy to the garconniere/guest house. Leonor decides that some extended intimacy would be in order as well, since she has the young one at her mercy, and intends to introduce her to the intricacies of female love. For aficionados of LGBT, keep your air conditioner turned high and your ice bucket handy! For other readers, this is a sexy little story with interesting characterizations of the vampires and the sorority pledge, and a ton of fascinating New Orleans historical background. The Garden House is a true “don’t-miss”! Reviewed by: Annie _____________________ |
