After museum curator Amanda Perretti learns that she is carrying the child of one of her two vampire lovers, her secret makes its way to the halls of an ancient order of Parisian vampires who view her as the manifestation of a ruinous prophecy. Can she and her unborn child survive? As this gripping sequel to the paranormal romance Immortal Obsession, an expectant Amanda is firmly ensconced in the Upper East Side mansion of her vampire lover Christian Du Mauré. While viewing an exhibition together on 18th-century Paris, Christian spies a diary that once belonged to his former mistress who he left behind in Revolution-era Paris centuries ago. Succumbing to his irrational belief that she is still alive, Christian flees to Paris in search of her leaving Amanda and Michel more vulnerable to an ancient order of Parisian vampires who want her for themselves. As Christian is hunted by something far more deadly, Amanda and Michel find more than danger as they try to save their own lives. Set in 21st-century New York and Paris but with flashbacks to the horrors of the French Revolution, Blood Tears combines elements of mystery, erotica and historical romance in a pulse-racing and moving love story rich in artfully drawn characters and eloquently painted settings.I find Denise K. Rago's work to be reminiscent of Anne Rice's vampires. ~ The Bookworm Blood Tears is a beautifully written and at times a melancholic paranormal romance. ~ Paranormal Book Lovers French Vampires! There, that is all I really need to say. Hot and sexy immortal beings that captured my imagination and left me begging for more. ~ Totally BookaliciousOne of the things that draws me to these books are the settings. Denise's love of the French Revolution and o art shine through her work. The way she describes Paris, New York and these immortals, with vivid and rich descriptions is enjoyable to read. ~ Bookworm ReviewsI loved Immortal Obsession and this follow up has me in love again. The Plot and pace...what can I say, you're so not putting this one down. Suggest you start it when you have time to sit. I don't think there was a part of this book I didn't like and it is taking all of my willpower not to spoil the story. ~ Were Vamp Romance Reviews A great read and a must for paranormal lovers ~ Avery's ReviewThere are so many twists and turns that I was hooked! ~ Totally BookaliciousBlood Tears is rich in historical detail and meticulous in establishing the connections between characters. Even as answers are revealed, the mysterious deepen. ~ Bitten By Books The humanity in all of these characters of the story was a refreshing change from the typical overly stiff, regal, or flagrantly impulsive vampire character, or the timid/carefree/largely stupid human character. ~ A Bibliophiles ReverieBlood Tears is a worthy sequel that is quite the page turner. The pacing is intriguing and the writing style is still elegant with a little more sexual/passionate content. I highly recommend Blood Tears and the series ~ Tranquil Dreams Review Blood Tears was everything I wanted in the sequel, and so much more. It had me on the edge of my seat wondering what was going to happen between Christian, Amanda and Michel. I am excited to read the next book in the series.....although I think the wait for her next book will drive me crazy. ~ 5/5 Kayla's Reads and ReviewsBlood Tears is a story about obsession, passion, secrets and love between family and lovers. ~ Bitten By BooksAn admirable second offering by an author who clearly lover her closely researched French Revolution and the paranormals she has chosen to populate her stories. ~Engraved: All Things WritingThis book is full of emotion, conflict and vivid images of Paris, both past and present. It is a quite unassuming love story that grows on a reader, page after page. ~ Paranormal Romance Guild
