Dead of Night, an all-new standalone paranormal romance by Emily Goodwin is live!
Never trust a vampire.
I might have learned that lesson the hard way. But when I find myself in a vampire-owned bar, I don’t have much of a choice. With vampires still trying to assimilate into mainstream society, I’ve done Lucas King a favor by stopping one of his patrons from draining a human dry in the basement of his bar. A favor he'd prefer to repay in bed than in kind.
Vampires and witches have had more than a jaded history, and when witches start showing up dead in surrounding covens, all signs point to something old and powerful. Something that knows the ways of the witches.
Something--or someone--like Lucas.
What's worse than trusting a vampire? Falling in love with one.

BOOK REVIEW
This is the first paranormal/vampire romance I have read since Twilight. Yeah this usually isn’t my bag of donuts. But sweet baby Jesus was this book good! I love Emily’s writing in her other work and it kind of convinced me to give this a shot. And I am so glad that I did!
Callie is introduced to us as a very powerful witch who then meets Lucas who is a very old vampire. Being from two very different worlds they shouldn’t be meant for each other. But oh boy are they! Their chemistry is off the charts and all of the “norms” of what their relationship should be (non-existent).
Lucas not only can run super fast but his ultra sexy ness is a HUGE bonus! He wants Callie in the physical way because he is super attracted to her but that is put on the back burner because he really gets to know Callie and her background. He wants nothing more than to protect her at all costs and he realizes that all of these years being with women just because isn’t what he wants anymore.
When Callie’s true strength of her powers is made known it automatically puts many obstacles in the way of their relationship. But even though time has passed and they aren’t supposed to be together, ones soul mate is always out there for them. And these two are soul mates to the max!
Thank you so much to Emily and Social Butterfly PR for the free advanced review copy in exchange for my honest review!!
Excerpt:
Talking to Lucas is easy, and having him know and approve of my life as a witch is a game changer. But it’s more than just the convenience of going on a date with a guy I don’t have to lie to. There’s more to Lucas than he lets on. He’s a complicated man but I know one thing for certain: he might not care for many people, but he’s fierce when it comes to those he loves.
I finish my drink and set the empty glass down on a table and go back to the railing, looking out at the cityscape. Lucas steps in behind me, pressing my ass against his pelvis and resting his hands on my stomach. I’m right up against his cock, and while it’s not hard, I can still feel it through his pants.
My mouth goes dry and I have to remind myself how to breathe. We’re standing on the deck of a crowded boat, yet somehow everyone else fades from view. Gently, he brushes my hair away from my shoulder, bringing it around my neck and smoothing the ends out against my breast. His fingers deliberately graze over my nipple, and dammit, he gets a physical response out of me. Chills run down my spine and I lean back, needing to feel more of him against me. He brings his hand down over my breast, along my stomach, and inches it down to my thigh. Slowly, he moves his fingers, gathering the hem of my dress in his hand.
My heart flutters and speeds up. He brings his other hand down, running his fingers over my exposed flesh, dangerously close to my core. His lips press against my neck, gently kissing me.
And then he draws his fangs. I can feel the razor-sharp tips on my skin. My pulse bounds, echoing in my head. If I can hear it, he can.
He can feel it, too.
Deft fingers sweep across my clit, just barely touching it through the thin fabric of my panties. Everything inside me heats up, and if he pressed his fingers to me again, he’d feel just how wet he’s making me right now. I grip the railing, needing to hold onto it for support. Trailing kisses, he moves his lips down along my neck, fangs digging into but not breaking my skin with each and every kiss.
“Are you…are you hungry?” I ask, barely louder than a whisper. It doesn’t matter. Lucas can hear me. His mouth goes to my neck again, and his tongue lashes out, running along a vein. He pauses for a moment, and I know what he’s doing. He’s reading my heartbeat, finding the best place to bite me.
“When I do drink you, it won’t be like this,” he growls, lips brushing against me as he speaks. “I want to feel you squirming in my lap as I sink my fangs into your neck. Hear you moan as your blood pours into my mouth.”
I whimper, pressing my ass up against his cock, my entire body craving to feel it harden against me. Suddenly he pushes me away and spins me around so I’m facing him. I blink rapidly, trying to regain my composure. His hands land on my shoulders and he tips his head down, flashing his fangs.
“I’ll give you want you want, but not until I’ve gotten what I need.”
