Recently I was sent a copy of Take Me The Untouchables #1) by T.A. Grey for review. This book is considered Paranormal Erotica due to the steamy scenes involved and has some graphic language as well. It is available for purchase now!
Synopsis
She makes his blood burn
Dominic Blackmoore meets the woman who captures his mind and body with a look and he’s instantly taken with her. When he was ordered to take another mate quickly after separating from his ex, he loathed the idea. However, after catching sight of his bruid he quickly changes his mind. He finds her utterly captivating, sensually erotic, and yearns to learn everything about her.
But she’s not his bruid
The woman he’s mistaken as his bruid is none other than the event planner, Felicity Shaw, for his mating ceremony. Now Dominic will do everything it takes, even lie to the woman he craves, to keep her at his side. He needs to mate with his bruid in order to win his political campaign but he finds himself falling in love with Felicity Shaw. In the end he must choose between work or love. He may make the right decision, but is it too late to save his lies from hurting Felicity?
He takes her breath away
Felicity Shaw wants more in life. She’ll even lie to get it, which is exactly how she lands a job with the illustrious Blackmoore family. However, it’s the head of the vampire household, Dominic Blackmoore, that has her heart racing and breath catching. The man consumes her unlike anyone ever has before. She can’t resist him though she tries. As she’s forced to work with Dominic she tries to keep away from him but he doesn’t make things easy.
She may want him with a passion she’s never experienced before, but she will not be with him when he’s mating to another woman. It’s either her or no one. But one terrible lies seals their fates together in ways neither of them imagined, threatening their love and the very fabric of their relationship.

My Thoughts (may contain spoilers)
From the moment this book began, I wanted to like Felicity. She had a no-nonsense attitude and was a strong woman. I love strong characters! She had been through a lot and came out on the other side. No, she wasn’t rich and had a small apartment with old furniture. But it was hers and she had worked for it all. I thought she was a great character and would portray the definition of “work for what you get”. I was a bit disappointed then to find that she lied on her resume. I get why she did it but it didn’t fit with what I had learned about her. I wanted her to be a better person for what she had already accomplished. I know she needed the job to survive but it just didn’t sit well with me for her to lie the way she did.
Dominic Blackmore is a man that gets what he wants… always. He lets you know it too! He pursued Felicity from the moment she walked into her house (mansion, whatever). He watched her. He wanted her. And, despite her many attempts to push him off, he pursued her more. I found him to be an overbearing jerk! I know, he is macho and ‘takes care of his woman’ and all that jazz. I just found him to be rude to Felicity on more than one occasion. She kept saying she wasn’t going to go around him anymore because of his behavior but she kept going back.
I get that they are supposed to have this once in a lifetime kind of love. I love that about the story. I’m all for a love story that has a beginning and no end. But, I hated their beginning. He was set to be with someone else and wouldn’t let her go. If I were Felicity I would have run and run far. Although now knowing Dominic, he would have just found her.
I look forward to more from this author because I think her writing is wonderful and the story was written well. I just didn’t care for the character development with this one and it threw me off. The politics involved brought a different element of interest for me and all the vampire-talk was fun and interesting. The sexy stuff was written well and very hot. My hope is that we see more from Dominic’s brothers who, from all indications thus far, are not as overbearing as he is.
Please don’t get me wrong. I liked this book plenty. I even like dominating men in stories. I just felt that Dominic went beyond that and he was controlling and sometimes just downright mean. He loved Felicity yet he wouldn’t choose her… and he still wouldn’t let her go. That just seems mean to me. I did enjoy the end and loved how it all came together. I would give this story 3.5 stars and, like I said, I look forward to more from the author!
Excerpt
“Try it. You’ll like it.”
He said it as if he already knew that. This would be impossible seeing as she’d never tried the drink and just because it smelled good didn’t always mean it tasted as good.
“And how do you know that, Mr. Blackmoore?” She lifted the glass to her nose and inhaled the sweet fragrance of plump red grapes, woods, and the coppery hint of blood. Her tongue turned brittle in her mouth. Her hand started trembling as she set the glass back against her thigh.
The quirk of his lip lifted higher. It was the confident look of a man who had no doubts. “Why don’t you try it and let me know if I’m right or not.”
He lifted his glass and took a sip, not needing to sniff the unique fragrance he probably smelled all the time.
Then a devil wearing a skin-tight leather corset, fishnet stockings and black knee-high boots popped up on her shoulder. It looked quite like Felicity with her wavy blonde hair but this little devil had smoky, heavily kohled eyes, dark ruby lips, and flushed bronzed cheeks. She was a much sexier, much crazier Felicity that she didn’t get to let come out and play much anymore.
Just drink some. You might not get this job but you’ll never get another chance to drink something so good, the devil said.
Felicity waited a tick to see if Felicity Angel would show up, but one second turned into two. Angel was a no show today.
Felicity’s eyes rounded and then she went for it. She didn’t take a little sip as he had done but a mouth full. Instantly, her eyes closed and the sweet, spiced fruity taste coated her tongue then slid down her throat. Warmth filled her starting in her bones then moving out to the rest of her body. Her heart started beating faster. She licked her lips slowly to get any last drops off then ran her tongue across the roof over her mouth and teeth. Her incisor teeth started pointing, turning into fangs at the taste. It was a natural response, she couldn’t help it, but it didn’t do well to impress older vamps that she couldn’t keep her cool with blood.
So damn good…
She could moan and almost did but just barely managed to keep herself in check.
The high-octane blood laced with a hint of red wine went straight to her head. The room didn’t quite spin around before her eyes but it didn’t exactly stay straight. More like tilted to the side. And that heat. Oh god, the heat filling her body making her neck sweat and her panties wet. Her nipples beaded into tender points and all she could think about was how badly she wanted to tear her bra and shirt off so they wouldn’t scrape her nipples.
“Are you feeling well?” Dom asked his voice hoarse.
She might have blushed if she wasn’t already flushing, because he knew. Oh, she’d have time to be humiliated later. He could see her response as easily as if she had started tearing her clothes off.
Right now her body burned so it didn’t matter that he could smell her arousal. Honestly, a part of her wanted him to. That wild, aroused part of her wanted him to know that in this very minute, she wanted his touch. That she’d even welcome it. It’d been too long since she felt the stirrings of desire for a man.
What am I thinking? a part of her screeched. You need this job, not to bang the boss!
Right, she needed a job not a lover.
“I’m sorry. That was a very…potent drink. I think I really need to go before I make a mess of this.” A giddy laugh left her and she saw his mouth tighten. “I mean make more of a mess out of this.”
Her hands curled around the arms of the chair then she pushed herself upright. The room swam only for a moment before straightening, but her limbs felt odd. They felt heavy and limp. They wanted to give out until she laid on the ground relaxed and half-awake in a daze.
About T.A. Grey
I love to write the kind of stories that will keep you up late at night and make your heart pound. It’s my goal in writing to make each new book better, more exciting, more action-packed, not only to test myself as a writer but to keep thrilling you. I’m always trying to push the boundaries with my imagination, and yours, to create something new and different.
If you’re a fan of paranormal romance novels then you’ll love my Bellum Sisters Trilogy. This isn’t your typical romance story, so be prepared for a kick of heat and tons of action. The Bellum Sisters Trilogy has received excellent reviews from paranormal bloggers and two of the three books are Top Picks from Night Owl Reviews.
Now, if you like shorter books with quite a bit of heat, humor, and action then I’d recommend the Kategan Alphas series. This erotic series features the sexy Kategan family and all the lucky men and women who get to meet them and complete their lives.
