Colin, a centenarian vampire, marks Joanna as his future mate when she is a young girl. Years later, Joanna is compelled to go to her family's cabin deep in the Texas woodlands, where Colin claims her for himself. But Joanna isn't willing to remain captive in Colin's lair and keeps trying to escape from him. Colin is surprised by Joanna's fiery, independent nature and is baffled at the human emotions this strong woman brings out in him. Joanna is fascinated by Colin and her passion for him cannot be denied. However, few females survive the transition from human to vampire, and Colin, once he realizes he is in love with Joanna, decides that he does not want to risk her life. He hypnotizes Joanna, commanding she forget him and his young companion Ben. But Joanna's body does not want to forget, and she risks her life to find Colin, unaware that other, powerful male vampires are heading her way, each determined to have her as his mate.

Colin's Conquest is a captivating tale wrapped around a sizzling romance between characters readers will not soon forget, filled with vivid details of the sometimes brutal lives of blood seekers. Packed with suspense and rocking with action, this superb paranormal raises the bar in the romance field. Readers will be quickly turning pages, engrossed in the fascinating world Smith has created, so much so that they will be reluctant to leave it. Highly recommended.

one of the worst vampire books I ever read
Ok, I read many vampire novels before and this book is one of the worst. What is up with how the characters talk? Is it suppose to be witty? The conversations between the characters are so corny and so boring. The writer spends so much time describing things that are not really that important. The characters are so one dimensional. And the story doesn't flow easily. There was only two incidents when I just stopped reading vampire fiction or romance novels, or whatever... And this book is one of them. I just couldn't understand how the main character could throw his mate against the wall like that, and I don't know how she could fall in love with a vampire who hasn't done anything nice to her. i don't know how this book was recommended to my list, but I regret buying this book.

Suspenseful Read
This book was an amazing page turner from the very beginning and I couldn't put it down. The main characters were well developed and I found myself identifying with them, even caring for them. I especially enjoyed laughing everytime Joanna escaped and then feeling remorse with Colin after punishing her. There were so many ups and downs and escapades that I worried and cheered alternately throughout the book. I am so looking forward to the sequel "Chaos The Vampire Child".
