Review of ‘Embracing Forever’ by K. Aten
If you follow my reviews, it’s hard to miss what a big fan I am of Aten’s books. She writes the kind of books I want to read and I love the variety of genres she writes in. This is the second book in her ‘Blood Resonance’ series which are lesbian paranormal erotic romance books. I do have to admit this series is not my favorite by Aten but I did think this book was better than book one, ‘Running From Forever’.
This is a story about a group of vampires, werewolves, and humans trying to make their new relationships work with everyday life issues and problems only supernaturals could have. Those problems include danger when their human friends and families fall prey to the monsters that go bump in the night. Because this is a sequel, I want to be extra cautious not to spoil anything so I’m keeping this summary very vague on purpose.
While I always suggest reading book in order, I do think you could start here if you really wanted or needed to. You would be missing out on how two couples came together and what attracted them to each other. However, Aten was good at slowly weaving in the important factors from book one so you could catch up enough that starting here would be possible.
Erotic-romances are not always my favorite because I find they can be a little vague on plot with just a lot of sex. I’m happy to say that this is what I hope to read in erotic-romances. This had a good storyline that even included a little mystery and excitement, but also plenty of steamy and erotic sex scenes. And while there is a good amount of sex scenes, Aten is good at mixing them up so they don’t feel repetitive. While most of the sex scenes are F-F there is one very steamy F-F-F scene too.
While I can’t put this in my favorite Aten pile, this was a fun read especially right around Halloween time. If you are a fan of vampires and werewolves and looking to spice up your night a little, I think this is a good choice. Aten is an excellent author and storyteller and I can’t wait to see what she has in store for us next. 3.75 Stars.
An ARC was given to me for an honest review.
