Grad student Savannah Evans is thrilled to be accepted as a resident to a prestigious art colony. Where else would she be able to focus on her craft of writing poetry in a setting like that of the medieval-styled castle? The remote New England island is a respite from her hectic city life. When she meets her benefactor, a mysterious French sculptor, her expectations for carefree days writing near the ocean are distracted by unprofessional fantasies about her sponsor.
Antoine Chevalier built Les Beaux Arts on DeRoche Island to bring purpose back to an existence that has lost meaning. He’s wandered the earth for decades and finds solace in returning to art. When Savannah applies for a residency, something about her words touches him. After her arrival, a physical attraction grows between them, which he struggles against. She deserves more than someone of his kind.
Antoine proposes they become lovers during her stay. But the situation turns complicated when Savannah discovers his secret. She had suspicions about his identity, but finds the truth overwhelming. Consumed by her desire for Antoine and faced with a tough decision, she is blind to the danger that has arrived at DeRoche Island.

review

I thought Dark Velvet by Lisa Carlisle sounded interesting and it was available as part of a stuff your kindle event, so I figured why not pick this up. I waited until the perfect time to read, when I was feral for a vampire romance. And then, bam, disappointment. We never see why Savannah and Antoine are desperate for one another. It literally just randomly happens one day while she’s at this artist’s colony. We get more substance off the synopsis than we did the book. The spice didn’t hit and there was just something icky about the entire thing. Plus, there was barely anything vampy. It just didn’t fit any craving.
