Gabrielle Fairmont is being forced to marry Lord Sutherland. He is a cruel and evil man and Gabrielle is desperate to escape her fate. When Daruis and Gabrielle meet at a ball, Daruis is struck by Gabrielle’s resemblance to Rose. He is overjoyed that he may have a second chance at love with her.  Gabrielle senses a familiarity with Darius as well and is drawn to him. Will she still feel the same when she finds out he is a vampire though?  Will she have a chance to? Sutherland has no intention of letting Gabrielle go.

Return To Me is full of excitement, danger, and eroticism. Darius and Gabrielle’s relationship is sensual and poignant, as is Demetri and Remont’s.  Remont and Demetri have a long and tumultuous history but it ultimately develops into something wonderful. The time Darius and Gabriel spent in Darius’ bed and Demetri and Remont’s heart to heart are very passionate and loving. I love Demetri and Remont, their lives are fascinating and their love is beautiful.  Darius and Gabrielle complement each other very well, both in personality and appearance.  Return To Me is another shining example of Julia Templeton’s wonderful storytelling ability.
