Summary: A haunting love story
Review: Amanda Ashley has created a wonderfully memoriable book. I have enjoyed all of her Vampire books because the Vampire is not an evil being who kills for pleasure as well as need. Her vampire heros are all tortured souls that have consciences. Gabriel is that vampire. The year is 1881 and he has lived for hundreds of years alone and when he finds a beautiful, innocent, Sara. He tries to pretend for a while that he is again human. Sara is a very young child when he finds her. She can't walk and is all alone in the world. He finds her a home in an orphanage but can't walk away from her. He has watcherd her until she is a young woman. Sara is very depressed and its only his intervention which saves her life again. He soon finds himself meeting her every night and falling so in love with her that he is in physical pain. Sara has no idea of what he really is. She only knows that he is hers and hers alone and that she loves him and that because of him she can now walk and dance. Gabriel knows that he cannot let her find out the truth so he sends her away from him. Years later he enters her life again. He can't help it. He is like a moth drawn to a flame. Sara is a changed woman. She has grown and is not afraid of what he is. They have many obsticals to overcome to be together but it makes their love all that much stronger.
The story then shifts to 1995. Gabriel is alone again. His precious Sara has been dead for 50 years. She never became what he is. They shared a wonderful life and now that she is gone he is lost again until he meets another soul who is greiving a loss as well. Her name is Sarah. Sarah has just lost her family and is all alone in the world. She is drawn to the dark stranger who offers her confort and love. Gabriel wonders if love can again enter his life and make him whole. H knows that he cannot be without her ever again and will risk the unknown to be with her.This book touched me so much it had me crying. If you like romances where two tortured souls find each other and you know their love will last forever, read this book.

Review: Amanda Ashley has to be the best writer of our times. Her writing is so descriptive that she makes me feel as if I am the heroine in every book. I can feel what the heroine feels. This book is no exception. I cried, I laughed, I loved! A beautiful, romantic love story that gave me a wonderful feeling of warmth, protection and love!

Summary: What a Story!!!
Review: Being a big vampire fan, I knew I would love this book. It shows the vampire Gabriel as more than just a monster, which is often the way they are portrayed. I wish I could give ten stars, because the book blew me away!

Review: Classic Amanda Ashley. I thought this was the best of the her vampire books so far. Much better than A Darker Dream or Deeper Than The Night.

Summary: This is a must read for all vampire fans!
Review: Embrace the night was one of the first of many vampire romances that I have read. It is chock full of romance, intriguing
characters, passion, reincarnation, and undying love. Gabriel
which is the charming vampire, is a character that all women
dream about! This brilliently mastered novel has captured
my heart forever.

Summary: Excellent vampire romance: full of angst and heartache!
Review: Gabriel is a vampire. He's already 379 years old, world-weary and achingly lonely. His undead existence dooms him to a half-life in the hours between dusk and dawn and the need to live off (warm and fresh) human blood. Sara Jayne, an orphan, is crippled and seemingly destined to live out her life in the care of the nuns. But Gabriel, her 'guardian angel', saved her life when she was a small child, and he's watched over her ever since. He rescues her again when she's close to death, and takes her under his wing, providing for her and, once she can walk again, sending her to a new life in Paris. But she longs for Gabriel, and eventually he comes to her. But she doesn't know what he is, and as much as he loves her, he can't bring himself to take the risk of telling her, in case she rejects him. Their relationship, for a time, is based on his demand that she ask him no questions about his unusual lifestyle, his refusal to eat with her, the fact that he's never around during daylight hours, the strange and very intent looks on his face sometimes, his almost superhuman strength... Until one day, when she finds him trapped in a run-down cottage behind a wall of holy water and garlic, starved for blood, she finally realises what he really is. And then, can Sara really accept a vampire as her lover? What about her own mortality, as compared to his immortality? Can they possibly be happy together? Those questions are tough enough, without the added complications of Sara's would-be lover Maurice (whom I ended up liking very much) and Gabriel's ex-lover and the person who initiated him, Antonina. And who couldn't love the brooding, sad and angst-ridden Gabriel? Or Sara, faced with such a discovery and learning to live with the reality of who her lover is? This was my first vampire romance, and on the basis of Embrace The Night I'll be looking up more by Ashley. Four stars instead of five only because I wanted more at the end, and also in comparison to my all-time favourite romance authors such as Beverley and Balogh.

Summary: It's a lovely story but.....
Review: I enjoyed reading the story book. Gabriel was so nice to Sara, taking her to places anywhere that she wants to go. But I don't really fancy the reincarnation bit. I guess the story sort of took a down turn when Sara lives to her old age and she dies........And I was really hoping for there to be a cure for Gabriel.....
