Crimson Heart
Sabrina Luna
Published 2007 Short Story

The Review
Crimson Heart is the second short story in the Crimson series by romance / erotica author Sabrina Luna. Once again she successfully dishes up a bite-sized chunk of erotica; only this time packaged with a slightly melancholy romantic flavour.
The story is told through the memories and dreams of Alexander and again this seems to be a most effective way of setting the scene for the erotic encounter, letting the author use the short story format to its best advantage.
Crimson Heart has a dreamy and yet slightly melancholy feel to it. Alexander’s lonely longing to be with his true love Natasha gives the story a romantic feel which Crimson Ambrosia lacked. Reviewing short stories is hard because I can’t say too much without giving away the whole story but I will say this much - if you like to read romance with a strong erotic element and you like it to include vampires you should love this story!
