From the Back Cover

Olivia's packing list:

1. Sunscreen
2. Bathing suit
3. Flip-flops

FBI psychologist Olivia Sotiris was looking for a cool ocean breeze, sand between her toes, and a break from her crazy, chaotic, and sometimes all-too-dangerous life. But when she escaped to the small Greek island of Patmos, all she got were meddling grandmothers trying to marry her off. Can't they see that none of the men around interests her—except Robby MacKay?

Robby's packing list:

1. Synthetic blood
2. More synthetic blood
3. Jogging clothes
(even vamps have to stay in shape!)

Robby needs to cool off, too, since all he can think about is revenge on the Malcontent bloodsuckers who once held him captive—but then he meets Olivia, the beauty with wild curls and a tempting smile. When a deadly criminal from a case back home tracks her down, Robby will have to save her life—along with giving her a first time she'll never forget . . .

Full content visible, double tap to read brief content.

Kerrelyn Sparks apparently has issues with reality. After writing more than a dozen books about vampires, she has now completely gone off the deep end and wound up on another planet. But how thrilling that she can share this magical new world with her readers! Although she is best known (so far) for the Love at Stake series, which has hit as high as number 5 on the New York Times list and 22 on the USA Today list, she hopes her readers will love The Embraced as much as they did her merry band of vamps and shifters.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great read

I started reading the "Love at Stake" series when it first came out and have stuck with it because Ms. Sparks is a great author. She keeps the book fun and entertaining and her characters are so easy to fall in love with - they feel like friends by the time you are done.

In this book, it's Robby's turn to find love - he was captured and tortured at the end of the last book and in this book he was sent to recuperate at Roman's home in Greece - he figured he could escape because no one would know the difference, but his wily great (x10) grandfather keeps sending people there "on vacation" so he is never alone. 3 months in to his time on the island he comes across Olivia and falls for her fast and hard - problem is, she's hiding from an obsessed psycho (serial killer) and he finds her before their romance can really take off. Throughout the book their romance blossoms and Robby and the good Vamps do what they can to keep Olivia safe from Otis Crump (the serial killer) once Casimir breaks him out of jail and turns him into a vampire. It's a great book; I highly recommend it.

I actually wasn't going to read this book for a while since I was busy with other things, but then I started reading the first few pages and got hooked. It took me two days to finish since I work all day, but I couldn't stop reading it when I had the chance. It was suspensful, hot, and intriguing. I think the biggest obstacle the characters faced not the evil guy that was after her, but was how Robby was going to tell her he was a vampire. He was so afraid of her reaction to it, that he could possibly lose her which he almost did.

4.0 out of 5 stars Fun read, had a few funny moments particularly with Robby's friend trying to help him woo Olivia

FBI psychologist Olivia Sotiris is vacationing at her Grandmothers home in Greece after a case left her unnerved. Olivia's Grandmother is focused on finding Olivia a husband, a nice Greek husband. Olivia entertains her but when she meets Robby MacKay, she feels she has found the man for her. However Robby is only available in the evenings and sometimes has a redish eye problem, plus Olivia who is an empath can't read his aura, could there be more to Olivia than what is in front of her?

Robby has been sent to Greece to recoup after he was tortured by a malcontent, an enemy to vampires. When he meets Olivia he knows he wants her but how does he tell her he is a man who goes bump in the night? With a stalker whose target is Olivia and their enemies ramping up, Robby needs to gain Olivia's trust and tell her who he really is.

Fun read, had a few funny moments particularly with Robby's friend trying to help him woo Olivia. I liked the chemistry and the characters in this story were entertaining. Will check out more in this series.

Well this highly anticipated book did not let me down at all. Kerrelyn Sparks captured my full attention with this book, as well as the other 7 in this series. I have read many different authors in the Vamp/Romance genre and I am most impressed with Kerrelyn Sparks. The story line kept me interested, the characters are my best friends, and her world captivates me every time! I give this a 5 star rating. Bring on #9, as always this book left me wanting more!!!!Great Read!

This book is for adult eye only. It very sexual and dirty. All the people from the last 7 books are in this book. The book is about a woman who being stock who turns out to work for the most evil vampire ever. He was a serial killer. His name is Otis Chump. The woman took a vacation to visit her grandma to get way. The woman meets a good vampire and falls in love. He helps her get rid of him by killing him. The book is about what she goes though and her relationship with good vampire. You should read this book if you love vampire book.

However, I still LOVED this book. It was very funny, and while Robby was never one of my favorites, this book made him a lot more enjoyable. The situations were interesting, and there was a LOT of action is this book. Pretty funny at parts, but not as amusing as some of the others. All in all, another great addition to the Love at Stake series!

This is book (8) of the "Love at stake" series and I have read all of them so far. And if you enjoy the vampire romance, I recommend that you get this series. All the books are great alone, but if you read them one after the other like I did it makes for something really special. Not sure if she is even through with the series yet, but I will be picking it up if another one is written.

After being held for two days and being tortured by Casimir, Robby is ordered to Roman 's villa on Patmos, a Greek Isle, to recover from his PTSD. Her he meets a Greek goddess , Olivia, who is also on enforced leave having been stalked by serial killer Otis, who sends her apples from his prison cell.
Robby quickly falls for her, and in her return to FBI work, she's wary of him, but they chat late at night.
This furthers the story of the hunt for the villainous vampires, whilst Robby learns love is better than revenge plus we meet two new, cool characters in Barker,who's name is apt, and JL . Funny, sweet and sexy, this is great and Olivia 's nan Eleni is a wonderful addition to these people.

In fobidden Nights with a Vampire wird Robby MacKay von Casimir zwei Nächte lang gefoltert und gedemütigt. Nach seiner Befreiung ordnet Angus ihm eine Zwangserholung an, weil er von dem Erlebnis nicht nur traumatisiert ist, sondern nur noch von lebensgefährlichen Rachegedanken gegen Casimir und seine Gefolgsleute getrieben wird.

Er landet in Griechenland, wo er nach 3 Monaten Exil eine "Göttin" trifft. Olivia ist Mitarbeiterin beim FBI und hat eine spezielle Gabe. Sie ist ein menschlicher Lügendetektor. Tja, nur bei Robby versagt dieses Talent. Er ist eben untot. Trotzdem ist Olivia von Robby fasziniert ebenso wie umgekeht. Olivia hat aber auch noch ein kleines anderes Problem: mit 24 Jahren ist sie noch immer Jungfrau. Robby ändert das. ;-)

Auch dieses Buch ist ein Feuerwerk an Spannung, Humor, Action und Liebe. Für mich persönlich ist es schön, immer wieder auf die Figuren der vorherigen Bücher zu treffen. Sie werden wie eine große Familie gezeichnet, die sehr viel Zusammenhalt und Verbundenheit zeigt. Weiter so!!

I liked this book just like the other seven in the series. Hot and funny and lots of adventure. One of my favorite series, along with Dresden Files, Argeneau and True Blood.

I'm wondering why they don't make audio books based on this stuff.
