The enemy tortures Colonel Willem Stone to provide them the names of the American spies inside their training camp. Will denies there are any, insisting technology enables the United States to know their plans. When the pains becomes too hard to consciously handle, his mind vanishes into some other place so that he will not reveal the names of the thirteen people working undercover for America. This place inside his mind looks like an ancient world consisting of Gypsies and vampires. One Gypsy has his full attention as Sarafina is so full of life, but she is changed into a vampire in front of his eyes.
Not long afterward, Will regains consciousness in a hospital, but the memories of Sarafina seem so real to him and where he dredged it up from is outside his understanding, but he assumes it is a fantasy. That belief ends when he meets Sarafina and quickly falls in like with her. But, though she likes him too, she does not trust him because he failed her twice as her guardian spirit and she refuses to take strike three especially when he spends an inordinate time protecting the child who may prove the savior or destruction of her kind.
EMBRACE THE TWILIGHT is the typical Maggie Shayne magic of taking the impossible and making it seem not only real, but also entertaining as well. The tale line is loaded with non-stop action yet the lead protagonists are an intriguing duo and vampires seem like a bona fide species. Fans of vigorous vampire romances will appreciate Ms. Shayne’s latest achievement that never slows down until the end.

I wasn’t so sure I was going to like Sarafina in this–but the tale was fantastic and the characters very enjoyable!

The book was once agian very excellent….I despised ‘fina by the end of Twilight hunger but after this book i understood her and apricated her alot more than i did in twilight hunger now that I’ve learned her past and tale its simple to get why she is so cold and what not….the ending wasn’t as excellent as Twilight hunger and kinda left me hanging which was rather dissapointing….and I would’ve liked to know what happened to Dante and Morgan (Although if you read her other books there are bits and peices of them in there) its a very excellent book though….Maggie once agian hit gold…

I just recently bought this book when I was out looking for something to read. When I got home with it, I just started to skim through it to get the gist as to what it was about. As it turns out, it is the sequel to Twilight Hunger, which tells the tale of another vampire named Dante. Embrace The Twilight tells the tale of the Vampire Sarafina and how she vows never to like again because of those who she loved betrayed her. Some being her sister, her fiance, the vampire who made her undead, her grand nephew Dante, the list goes on. Willem Stone is the Mortal who falls in like with Sarafina. Although she is centuries before his time, she can still hear his voice and looks upon him as her spirit guide and guardian angel. When she finds out that he is a real man, she is torn because she is in like with her guardian angel and she wants nothing to do with the man who claims to be the owner of the voice she heard in her head.
