28th 2012, and it is available in all formats at Black Opal Books, Amazon,
Smashwords, Barnes
& Noble Kobobooks
and All
Romance eBooks
Kate’s heart
hammered. The experience seemed so real. A low moan escaped her and she bit her
lip. Soon warmth surged through her, causing her body to go limp. Her legs gave
way underneath her, but Matthias—or whoever this man claimed to be now—wrapped
his arm around her waist. His sweet, musky scent clung to her. Ecstasy filled
her and she felt as if she hovered in the air. If he intended to kill her like
this, she could imagine no better way to die. A voice echoed through her mind,
speaking of undying love in centuries old Croatian.
“Wake up,” he
whispered close to her ear, his strong arms still locked around her.
“I don’t want
to.” Her head wobbled, exuberant with sheer happiness, a kind she had never experienced
before.
“You must.” He
stroked her hair with tender fingers. “Wake up now.”
“No. I want to
stay like this. Forever.” She focused on his handsome face staring at her
through her haze.
His smooth cheek
brushed against hers. “Me too, but you must wake.”
The fog lifted
and his image appeared, clearly now. She blinked once. Twice. What had
happened? She pushed away from him and flattened her back against the wall.
“You, you—”
“You,” he said,
pointing at her, “asked for proof.”
I had many
wonderful reviews on this novel, but this is where you can read my absolute favorite review of
“Bonded by Crimson”.
"Bonded by
Crimson" is a beautifully written, almost poetic piece of literary
fiction. The language to me was one of the main strengths of the book.
The story is simple: Kate arrives to become the latest of a string of failed nannies to a remote home in Canada. The Croatian widower both frightens and attracts her but she loves the children and stays…”

“Is Bonded by
Crimson, by Zrinka Jelic, a paranormal romance? Yes, it is, but if you’re
looking for ravenous werewolves, bloodthirsty vampires, vicious ghosts, or
superhuman lovers, it probably isn’t your kind of book. While there are references to the past, the book is
set in the present. In the present most people, including the female
protagonist, don’t believe in, or at least try to make themselves think they
don’t believe in, the paranormal. In this novel the paranormal is real…”
“A refreshing
take on a vampire/ghost story. This is packed full of myth and Adriatic charm.
I love that parts of the story is set in Croatia and we get to live the
beautiful culture and scenery…”
“I Love the story
of Kate and Matthias. Taking a position in Matthias as a nanny in Matthias
household there is an instant attraction. Who is Matthias and what is his
secrets?”
