ERICA'S REVIEW~

Dark Rising is .5 and Dark Velvet 1 book in the Chateau Seductions Trilogy.  These books can be read as standalones but I would advise you to read them in order to get a better understanding of the story.   
I can honesty said I’m not a huge fan of novella.  I rarely ever read a short story. But, I must say I didn’t regret reading these books they captivated me from the very beginning. I didn’t feel like I was missing something the story due to the shortness.  The story started with Dark Rising telling about Antoine being born Gargoyles with the belief of protecting the humans. They despised Vampires and the way they lived. He is also an amazing artist. Antoine’s life was changed when he was hunted and changed by a group of Vampires that want to use him for this strength to protect their convent. Antoine being a Gargoyle wants and misses companionship.  He needs someone to love and he misses his art and wants to lead a life of happiness.  
Dark Velvet started right where Dark Rising left off. 
He bought this beautiful castle so he can help other artist.  Plus that would offer him some companionship.  Antoine wasn’t use to being alone.  He allowed art students to stay in the castle and work on the schooling and ideals.  This is how he met Savannah she was a struggling grad student who he invited to the castle to work on her poetry.  They has an attraction toward one another but not sure about the others feelings.  It was a lot of mix emotions and hard to get that made you want to throw your book, but ones the chemistry started there were all kinds of fireworks.  This is one series you wouldn’t want to miss.  Good work Lisa keep it coming. 
I gave this 4 smoking stars.
