For many decades, Mercedes has been trapped behind an energy shield, held prisioner by her own grandmother.  To survive she’s reached out and formed a bond with a special man, a musician, Eric.

Eric is a vampire and music is his cover.  When Mercedes is freed and propositions him, he initially refuses.  That is until he discovers who and what she truly is.  The two form an intense sexual bond, and that bond is the only thing that stops her Uncle Faelon San Carlos from destroying Eric.

For our lovers, the end would seem assured, but it is not.  Mercedes isn’t all she seems and what she is, she doesn’t understand or even know.  Day Warriors claim she is one of them and is needed in an upcoming fight against shifters known as Setti.

 A whole lot of sex including bondage, the whip and menage blanket the lack of freedom Mercedes has had for nearly all her existance and prepare her for the role she now must take on.

A Taste of Dawn by Aubrey Ross is one smoking tale.  There is a lot of sex in the 70 or so pages, almost too much.  A multitude of characters showing up better than halfway through the tale made it difficult to keep track of who was who and who was on which side of the struggle.  And, despite the fact that the two soulmates are firmly bonded to one another, this tale isn’t over.  Loose ends regarding the upcoming struggle only prepare the reader for anticipating the next installation of this story, if there is one.
