Bewitch: A Steamy Vampire / Witch Paranormal Romance (London Vampires Romance Series Book 5)

Bewitch is the 5th book in the Vampirerotique Theatre series by the very talented Felicity Heaton.This is Payne's story and, unlike most of the books so far, the setting for this story was away from the theatre and our usual adored cast of characters. This however, does not detract in any way from the book - if anything, it gives the reader the chance to fully get to know and understand Payne without being distracted by the other hunky vamps he works and lives with (though we do get to see them all again during this story - phew!!)Payne is on a mission to help Andreu & Chica (Varya) and he needs the assistance of someone in the fae world. This is where he encounters Elissa, who is a witch.There's an instant spark between them and throughout the story we view the development of a relationship between the 2 - trust on both parts, or lack of it in this case, is a big issue.Ever so slowly, we discover what has happened in Payne's life that has led to him being the man he is today.... This is truly an emotional roller coaster ride........My heart broke for Payne, and I admit I shed a few tears (more than once!) I just kept hoping that things would work out right for him. He is such a troubled, dark and broken man....... but you get the impression that there is so much more to him that will only be seen if he finds the right lady to trust and give his heart to!!Elissa was sassy, funny, caring, big hearted and engaging.... she is a bit of a lost soul too I think, but we begin to understand what she's all about as the tale unfolds.Bewitch is hotter and a fair bit darker than the previous books in the VET series have been. There's a whole lot of physical attraction between Payne & Elissa. The story also includes well handled, hot as hades, B/Ds scenes. We encountered a lot of passion, suspense, a touch of humour and a lot of fabulous verbal interaction between the 2 characters - there's some great comments and more than a few tremendous one-liners....I thoroughly enjoyed the previous books in the VET series and Payne's book was no exception.... but I honestly think it's better than the rest.... Felicity never fails to deliver and she has outdone herself with Bewitch.... I highly recommend the book and give it a 5* rating!!!I received an ARC of this book from the author in exchange for an honest review.....

This is book 5 in the Vampire Erotic Theater Romance Series and I must admit that this is the first book that I have read in this series. I was worried that I may have had to read the others to get the story but this wasn't so, all it did was increase my interest and made me want to get to know the other characters who featured towards the end of the book.This book is Payne's book. He is part vampire and part incubus, his incubus side able to bend people to fulfill his sexual desires. Payne has never accepted his incubus side, constantly struggling to keeping it at bay and thinks of himself as a vampire first. Payne is of course tall, lean and stunningly handsome he radiates danger and has an intensity about him. Payne is in the underground town looking for a witch he has heard may be able to help his vampire friends. She may hold the answers to a binding spell that is keeping Chicca his friend Andreu's mate bound to the club Vampirerotique, he has heard there is a ring which can bind the person wearing it to another person therefore allowing Chicca to leave the club. Desperate to help his friends he will do whatever it takes to get the ring.Payne stumbles across and come to the rescue of Elissa a witch who is under attack. He soon comes to realize that her deceased sister is who he has been looking for. Elissa knows how to get Payne the ring and in return he has to help her recover something from the same person. They set off on a journey, were there is danger, personal truths uncovered and a burning, dangerous passion.The thing I love about Felicity's books is that it's like watching a movie I can see it all playing out in my head as I'm reading, so me her books are always perfect escapism!!!Payne, wow, what can i say. He is moody, dark, dangerous and tormented but he also has an emotional side and a sad back story to explain why he is the way he is. I loved Elissa, it's so nice to read a book where the leading lady is sure of herself, confident and kick ass. The chemistry between the two has H.O.T, especially the bedroom scenes, but it becomes more than that and you can see the closeness and intimacy develop between the two characters.I can't wait to go back and enjoy the rest of the series :)
