Review: Dom of the Dead – Virginia Nelson

She couldn’t imagine living without him.

When Carson Black’s longtime crush and best friend dies in a bike accident, she openly weeps at his funeral. Never expressing her feelings for him, she thinks she might be going mad from grief when his voice, his scent, his desires…seem to fill her apartment.

He was afraid to demand what he needed.

Randall Stokes loves Carson but didn’t express it while he was alive. A dominant, he didn’t dare dream that the sweet girl next door would do the things that he needed to find satisfaction. When tragedy strikes, he not only has nothing to lose but a suddenly clear view into what she needs, wants, desires. Is it too late to take what they’ve both longed for?

A ghost of a chance…

Love lingers, though his body is gone. Can Carson and Randall find love in the Dom of the Dead?

Reviewer’s Thoughts

Wow! I read this amazing story, and couldn’t believe so much could be packed in to a short story! Carson just lost her best friend, Randall, to a bike accident. As she grieves, she realizes that he was more than just a friend; he was someone she loved, and could now never express her feelings to him. After some time, her sister gives her a chance to get herself back out there into the world, and she follows her advice, leading her to a bar. It’s here that she finds herself caught up in the greatest fantasy she could have ever imagined, and given a miraculous second chance.

This story takes you through a gamut of emotions in just a short amount of time and leaves you with the overwhelming desire to not take things for granted, but to seize the moment. It’s heartbreaking, romantic, sensual, incredibly erotic and fantastically written. Carson and Randall are wonderful characters that fit together perfectly. Their erotic story is one that I think I’ll keep around when I need an emotional pick-me-up.
