Plot Summary of Sacrament
"

Love Spell, Mar 2002, 5.99
ISBN: 0505524724

   Lady Sarah Ashton loves her estate Clershing and would do just about anything to keep it. However, her solicitor informs Sarah that Julien Davinoff has disputed ownership of the property. Sarah is unable to produce the original deed to Clershing and no other proof has surfaced to prove she owns the estate.

    Desperate Sarah confronts Julien, who surprises himself by feeling empathy towards her. This is astonishing because Julian is a vampire and has felt nothing but tedium for what seems as if forever. As Julien and Sarah become acquainted and begin to fall in love, her friend Corina makes it clear she wants him and will do whatever it takes including abduction to attain her desire.

    Fans of vampire romances will enjoy Susan Squires' supernatural historical tale starring two strong lead characters. Julien is a brooding hunk while Sarah is a caring individual who gains not only the vampire's admiration but also that of the reader. Though Corina makes a poor egomaniac villainess with no redeeming qualities, the story line of star-crossed lovers moves forward at a rapid pace.   SACRAMENT will entertain the audience due to the lead couple starring in a lively tale.
