Enticed by Blood (A sweetblood World Vampire Romance) by Laurie London

'Stockbroker Juliette Bishop gets more than she bargained for when she flies to New Orleans to handle a business matter for her ailing father and comes face to face with her former lover, the handsome, yet mysterious Andre Lescarbeau.

* This Sweetblood World short story (dark vampire romance) was originally published in the Mammoth Book of Southern Gothic Romance.

As a short story, I thought this was remarkably well developed and left me wanting to read more of the series. Eventhough I haven't read the others in the series it was easy to follow and I didn't feel like I was missing any information or back story. Juliette and Andre had a well developed history and so their relationship was able to move on a little bit quicker than would be normal in a longer novel and the author got it just right. There is also a good deal of action and suspense packed into this novella. I was disappointed when I got to the end very quickly because I was really enjoying it. 
I'll definitely be reading more of this series.
