Allegra's Seduction: Immortality's Caress 1 ~ Every scene is rich in detail as well as sensuality. I could not put this book down.

Review from Romance Junkies
Allegra’s Seduction: Immortality’s Caress book 1
Available now at eXtasy Books www.extasybooks.com

Allegra is very much her own woman, strong and independent. The characterizations of her friends, Sophia and Eloise are also well developed and likeable. Gabriele is a delicious rake and I found him very endearing. I also loved the vivid descriptions of the costumes, parties, the language and mannerisms of that time. I really felt as if I were there.
I have not read this author before, but plan to remedy that.

What kind of 'witch' are you?

You are a water witch. Beautiful and intuitive, you draw your power from the water. You can be tranquil and terrible at one and the same time and might be described as "moody." You appreciate literature and may be a poet/writer. Graceful and powerful as the water itself, the rest of us envy your ability to love and be loved by others.

See what witch you are

As for our readers, Thank you for understanding this situation, stressful though it was on both sides. We wouldn’t be here without you.

Wonderful Review From Fallen Angel Reviews!

FAR~ Fallen Angel Reviews~ Reviewed by: Moonluster
Set in Venice in 1592, which is a great period for a vampire story, Allegra’s Seduction, will captivate you. Monica Martin has done a terrific job of showing their strengths and weaknesses. Ms Martin has done her research for this story and it shows. The darkness you would expect from a vampire story comes to life. The love scenes are really written well with the passion flowing between Gabriele and Allegra right from the start and just keeps getting better all through the rest of the book. I loved this book. It is a true love story that seemed so real to me. I especially thought the time period was fantastic. You will want to continue reading until the last page.Read Entire Review here: http://www.fallenangelreviews.com/2006/March/Moonluster-ImmortalitysCaress_AllegrasSeduction.htm

'The Road To Romance' Gives Allegra's Seduction A Rave Review!

Allegra’s Seduction is the first in a wonderful series that is by Ms. Martin. She writes with flair and definitely captures the imagination of the reader in this new twist of a vampire tale. Each page was intricately woven with great writing, a lush setting, and captivating characters; this is truly a book that stays with you long after the last page is read. Be forewarned, however, that there are some brief M/M, M/F/F and light bondage scenes that enhance the story instead of taking away from it. Ms. Martin sets up the story for the next book and this reviewer is highly looking forward to it!
