    Synopsis

    England, 1815: Ian Rufford was captured, enslaved, and then abandoned in the lonely dunes of Egypt's desert. His tormentor was a woman of magnificent beauty...and the blackest of souls. Now, Ian prays for a death that will not come. Only after his rescue does he begin to realize how he has changed. But he understands very little. Just that he is carrying something strange in his blood known only as "The Companion."

    Elizabeth Rochewell's home was Egypt. After her father's death, however, she is being sent home to live a conventional life in London. On board ship, she finds herself drawn to her mysterious traveling companion, Ian Rufford. He awakens feelings in her that disturb and tantalize her senses. But he hides a shocking secret that Beth can only begin to unravel.

    Now, journey with two linked souls who are determined to stop one woman's evil quest. A journey that will take them to the heights of desire and the depths of depravity. THE COMPANION is an unforgettable, sensual, and erotic novel that take you places you've never gone before...and it will make you believe in the power of true love.

    I'm sorry....by Anonymous

    January 01, 2006: ...but I really didn't like this one. I have read several different explanations for vampirism, but I think the one in this book is pretty strange, sort of jarring. Vampirism came from ancient contact with aliens? And the scenes of Ian's tortue in Asharti's hands... I can deal with gore and I enjoy sensual and sexual scenes, but the torture scenes in this book were too many for me to handle. I understand that they were to set up simpathy for Ian, villianize Asharti, etc. but I would have preferred them to be fewer and less graphic. I wouldn't even have finished reading this book after I got halfway through except for the fact that I'm weird about always finishing a book, even if I don't like it. I would suggest you pass on this one and look elsewhere for entertaining vampire fiction.

    March 16, 2005: In 1818 English gentleman Ian Rufford is sailing when pirates attack his ship. He is taken to Africa as a prisoner and eventually sold to beautifully cruel Asharti, who abuses him in every sense of the word turning him into a feral animal. He eventually escapes.................... Elizabeth Rochewell has enjoyed working and living with her father as he leads archeological digs across Africa. However, when an over four millennium old pillar crumbled, crushed, and killed her beloved father, Elizabeth?s life died too. She returns to England as a single white woman who cannot survive alone in Africa. When Ian and Beth meet on the vessel from Africa heading to England they find a commonality in Africa and a need to return as they find the aristocracy boring and suffocating with prohibitions on acceptable behavior. As they fall in love, they realize they must battle an evil that may possess Ian and threatens humanity...................... THE COMPANION is a fantastic Regency paranormal romantic suspense that grips the audience from the moment that Ian is kidnapped and never slows down in Africa or England until the final confrontation with a malevolent vampiric villain. The story line is action-packed but the audience will feel deep empathy for Ian?s plight even after he frees himself from bondage as he still has not liberated his mind and for Elizabeth who was used to total freedom assisting her dad, but now feels choked by the unfathomable rules. Susan Squires provides a terrific historical thriller with a supernatural turn that avoids an overbite when she twists the plot into the paranormal......................... Harriet Klausner
