BOOK SYNOPSIS
Far from the glittering lights and shallow bustle of 1822 London lies another world—a realm of shadows and secrets, where desire holds dominion and passion know no limits…
Jane Blundell’s keen intellect and wit have always set her apart from her marriage-minded peers. But such differences are nothing compared to the change that comes upon her when she is infected by a blood sample in her father’s laboratory. Suddenly her veins resonate with a terrifying, exhilarating power. Dr. Blundell takes Jane to the Scottish highlands to research a cure, where she collides with the only man who can understand her hunger—and slake her unending desire…
Callan Kilkenny has returned to England from Marrakech, still filled with self-loathing at the deeds he committed in the name of a beautiful, depraved vampire. Now that he has tracked down Dr. Blundell in hopes of a cure, he has also found a kindred spirit in Jane. Her passion and her blood call to Callan, fueling a carnal need that shocks them both with its intensity. But others have come in search of the cure too…for reasons that are deadly. And to save Jane and the rest of their kind, Callan must risk everything—even his last chance at redemption…
“When it comes to combining extreme sensuality with dangerous drama, no one does it better than Squires.” --Romantic Times BOOKreviews

EXCERPT
There was no denying her. She ran her long-nailed fingers through his hair as he sat, naked, beside the chaise on which she lay draped. His hair was as dark as hers. But her eyes were almost black, while his were light gray-green, his skin fair against her golden glow. She had chosen him for his coloring. How long would he pay for the sins of some French and English crusaders long dead? Until he died. He had prayed for death so often. Blood oozed from various cuts and punctures in his body, but she was careful not to kill him.
Heat poured from a dozen braziers and a low fire in the center of her tent. She liked heat. His skin was damp with sweat. He fixed his gaze on the intricate carpet, trying to avoid what would come. But she willed him to raise his gaze. For the thousandth time he struggled. He clenched his fists and grunted, panting.
Her laughter tinkled over him like shards of broken glass. “You know you cannot win out, English.” He wasn’t English. She twisted his head up by his hair and showered compulsion over him. The need to obey her surged through him. His gaze jerked to her face.
Her eyes glowed with more than firelight as she chuckled. How could laughter frighten him so? His chest heaved from the effort to resist her. The fine skin between her breasts gleamed with perspiration. Her nipples peaked under the diaphanous fabric of her burgundy gown. He found his own desire rising, whether he would or no.
His stomach clenched in despair as he lifted his chin to bare his throat to her. She would use him to slake several thirsts tonight. She was always thirsty.
She bent to his throat. He shuddered at the familiar twin pains just under his jaw. She stroked his nipple as she sucked at his neck and then slid down onto the rug beside him so she could grasp his swollen member.
“You still resist me," she whispered inside his mind. “How can I make you truly mine?”
She rocked against him, her breasts pressed to his chest. He moaned, partly with desire, partly in dread. He didn’t want to know the answer to that question.
MY REVIEW:
ONE WITH THE NIGHT IS A PARANORMAL LOVE STORY FILLED WITH ACTION AND SUSPENSE. WE ARE INTRODUCED TO JANE AND CALLAN. BOTH SEEKING CURES TO BEING A VAMPIRE. JANE WAS ACCIDENTALLY INFECTED WITH BLOOD AND CALLAN WAS TURNED BY A VAMPIRE. JANE'S FATHER IS WORKING ON A CURE FOR HIS DAUGHTER, JANE. CALLAN IS HOPING THAT JANE'S FATHER FINDS A CURE SO HE MAY FINALLY BE HUMAN AGAIN SO HE CAN KILL HIMSELF. HE VOWS TO PROTECT JANE AND HER FATHER. I LOVE SUSAN'S DIFFERENT INTAKE ON THE VAMPIRE. I LIKE THAT BLOOD IS NOT THEIR MAIN FOOD SOURCE. THEY CAN EAT FOOD JUST LIKE HUMANS. MOST VAMPIRES ARE BETRAYED AS BEING THESE BLOOD THIRSTY CREATURES WHO CRAVE HUMAN BLOOD. THEY ARE EVIL, SINISTER, HAVE NO EMOTION AND WILL KILL FOR WHAT THEY WANT. SUSAN'S VAMPIRES ARE SO ENTIRELY DIFFERENT. YES THEY STILL CRAVE HUMAN BLOOD BUT THEY CAN MAKE A CHOICE TO BE EVIL OR GOOD. JUST LIKE HUMANS WHO ARE GOOD AND EVIL. VAMPIRES HAVE FEELINGS AND EMOTIONS JUST LIKE HUMANS BUT THEY NEED TO LEARN TO CONTROL WHO THEY ARE.
I FOUND JANE TO BE A BREATH OF FRESH AIR. SHE WAS VERY STRONG AND CARING PERSON WHO ALWAYS TOOK CARE OF EVERYONE ELSE. JANE ENJOYED BEING A MIDWIFE AND WOULD SNEAK OUT AND HELP THOSE WHO NEEDED HER HELP. SHE LET HER FATHER DEFINE WHO SHE WAS BECAUSE SHE WANTED TO MAKE HIM HAPPY. I THOUGH HER FATHER TOOK AWAY HER CONFIDENCE AND KEPT HER FROM BEING THE WOMAN SHE WAS. JANE MEETS CALLAN, A VAMPIRE WHO HAS BEEN ABUSED AND USED BEYOND MEASURE. HE BELIEVED HIMSELF TO BE EVIL. BUT CALLAN WAS JUST A LOST SOUL WHO NEEDED TO FORGIVE HIMSELF. JANE IS THE PERFECT PERSON FOR CALLAN. SHE CAN HELP HIM HEAL AND MOVE ON. AS CALLAN AND JANE GET TO KNOW ONE ANOTHER, CALLAN REALIZES HE IS FALLING IN LOVE WITH JANE. CALLAN REALIZES THAT JANE IS INNOCENT AND GOOD PERSON. HE WILL DO WHATEVER HE CAN TO PROTECT HER. CALLAN DOESN'T CARE WHAT HAPPENS TO HIM. HE HAS TO PROTECT THE WOMAN HE HAS FALLEN IN LOVE WITH. WILL JANE'S FATHER FIND A CURE? WILL CALLAN BE ABLE TO PROTECT JANE FROM OTHER VAMPIRES? YOU WILL HAVE TO READ ONE WITH THE NIGHT TO FIND OUT.
I REALLY ENJOYED ONE WITH THE NIGHT. I WAS INSTANTLY DRAWN INTO THE STORY. I LOVE READING ABOUT VAMPIRES AND I LOVE HAVING ROMANCE IN THE STORY. THIS BOOK WAS ALSO FILLED WITH ACTION, SUSPENSE AND EVEN SOME MYSTERY. SUSAN KEPT YOUR ATTENTION THROUGHOUT THE STORY. THERE WERE SO MANY OBSTACLES JANE AND CALLAN HAD TO FACE. THE AUTHOR KEPT YOU ON THE EDGE OF YOUR SEAT BECAUSE YOU DID NOT KNOW WHAT WAS GOING TO HAPPEN NEXT. I HAVE READ TWO OF SUSAN SQUIRES' BOOKS IN THE SERIES INCLUDING THIS ONE AND I HAVE ENJOYED BOTH OF THEM. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND YOU READ ONE WITH THE NIGHT AND ANY BOOK BY SUSAN SQUIRES. SHE IS A VERY GOOD WRITER AND YOU WILL FALL IN LOVE WITH HER CHARACTERS AND THE STORY. I AM LOOKING FORWARD TO READING MORE BOOKS BY HER. 5 STARS
