Historia
Dracula. A name of horror, depravity and the darkest sensuality. Yet the real Dracula was just as alluring, just as terrifying, his story not of a monster but of a man - and a contradiction. For the one they called 'The Devil's Son' was both tyrant and lawgiver, crusader and mass slaughterer, torturer and hero, lover and murderer. His tale is told by those who knew him best. The only woman he ever loved, who he must sacrifice. His closest comrade and traitor.

The prequel to Dracula, inspired by notes and texts left behind by the author of the classic novel, Dracul is a supernatural thriller that reveals not only Dracula's true origins but Bram Stoker's - and the tale of the enigmatic woman who connects them. It is 1868, and a 21-year-old Bram Stoker waits in a desolate tower to face an indescribable evil. Armed only with crucifixes, holy water, and a rifle, he prays to survive a single night, the longest of his life. Desperate to record what he has witnessed, Bram scribbles down the events that led him here....

Resumen del Editor
A young woman is swept into a life of intrigue, revenge, passion, and betrayal when she falls for the world's most notorious prince, Vlad Dracula.
The year is 1464. King Matthias controls Hungary, his family, and the fate of the world's most notorious political prisoner, Prince Vlad Dracula.
Ilona Szilágy, the king's cousin, is young and ambitious. Dracula is determined to marry into the family. It is love at first sight, but the king has other plans. The Impaler Prince, however, never takes no for an answer.
This begins Ilona's journey into the treacherous world of court intrigues, family betrayals, and her husband's dark desires. Eager to become Vlad's trusted confidant, Ilona soon discovers that marriage to a man tortured by his past comes with a price.
Woven throughout is a peek into the life and times of one of the world's most enigmatic and maligned rulers...the man before the legend.
The Impaler's Wife offers a fierce yet sensuous glimpse into the violent 15th century.

Scottish romance doesn't get much steamier - or more dangerous - than a spy hunting her quarry and losing her heart to him instead.

Aaron's latest mission for the sharp-witted and daring Mariel is to find two people in a heavily fortified castle on the Isle of Skye, a castle headed by the clan MacDonald and the powerful Kieran.

She definitely got impaled
I went into this not expecting Dracula mixed with 50 shades of gray. I personally was super interested in the book but the excessive sex scenes had me continuously rolling my eyes. I wanted the story not the porn.

"Your Husband Will Live Forever"
I'm a big fan of Dracula films and keenly interested by the historical Vlad Tepes so this book is right up my alley. It is a very well-written and well-researched historical fiction. While there are characters and events made up to move the story along there are also several people, events and stories within the book that I have read about in scholarly books about Vlad Tepes so the author wisely wove these into the narrative. The story is told from Ilona's point of view and we see Vlad through her eyes as likely many saw him: seductive, wise, calculating, loving, loyal, intelligent, handsome, brutal, cruel, unpredictable and a powerful leader. The sexual scenes between Ilona and Vlad are darkly erotic which some may like and others not.
Samantha Desz is a superb narrator who brings all the characters to life with her reading and acting. She really made the listening experience so much more enjoyable and riveting.
Highly recommended.
