About this ebook
Carrie Pulkinen
Carrie Pulkinen is a paranormal romance author who has always been fascinated with things that go bump in the night. Of course, when you grow up next door to a cemetery, the dead (and the undead) are hard to ignore. Pair that with her passion for writing and her love of a good happily-ever-after, and becoming a paranormal romance author seems like the only logical career choice. Before she decided to turn her love of the written word into a career, Carrie spent the first part of her professional life as a high school journalism and yearbook teacher. She loves good chocolate and bad puns, and in her free time, she likes to travel, ghost hunt, and spend time with her family.

- Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5A single mum who swore off ‘needing a man’, and an ethereally beautiful man who appears to shatter that resolution to bits. Cleverly combining real life issues with the fantastical to create a story that sets your romantic notions aflame, the author has created a story that begs to be read to the conclusion.
As children, we believe in magic and the impossible and then life interrupts and removes that ability to believe in things that are not of the norm. Jules was quietly living a life and was content being a mum and provider, or so she thought. Enter Ian, the man to set all of those ‘childish’ romantic notions aside, and Jules suddenly finds herself enmeshed in the world of the impossible, or so she believed.
With a premise that will have you wondering just what will happen next, and a romance that feels real, even with the unanswered questions, the author has created a very worthwhile read with a happily for now that will have you hungry for the next chapter. Written with a deft hand, we see little peeks into Ian’s real age with his conversation, reminiscent of a day gone by and his chivalrous, near impossible to find manner. Jules is very much the modern woman, independent and rather conflicted by feeling protected and safe within a man’s arms. Their interaction and development feels natural, Ian has a calming effect on Jules, although her matter-of – fact acceptance of the ‘things that go bump in the night’ was rather glossed over and felt a bit unrealistic. It was not enough to detract from the story, although left a little niggling thought in my brain. More distracting, however, was the irregularities in pacing – from fast to near snail-like, the real issue this book only rated a 4 stars from me. I will look forward to reading the next in this series, or any other title by this author, as I feel she is certainly one to watch with much skill and talent that is still developing.
I received an eBook copy from author for purpose of honest review with tour hosted by Full Moon Bites. I was not compensated for this review, and all conclusions are my own responsibility. - Rating: 4 out of 5 stars4/5Okay. It's about vampires, but the good news is that Carrie Pulkinen creates a unique take on the vampire stories in her book Reawakened.Jules is a regular woman who has had a hard life but nothing extremely extraordinary until she meets Ian. His Scottish accent is enough to make any woman swoon, but there is something more. Something about him seems off yet just right. He's a vampire but claims to be much more than that for her and her alone. The next thing you know, her life is turned upside down and memories surface that have been suppressed that will help save her and her daughter's life.I love it when an author can take something that is common such as the vampire stories and almost overly done like the vampire stories and come up with something new and refreshing. Carrie Pulkinen has done just that. In fact, though Ian is a vampire, that is not the focus of the story, and I like that. There is so much more to this which makes it an enjoyable read.The pace is relatively fast but not too much. You can easily set the book down and pick it right back up where you left off without breaking a sweat. The plot is very well done with several twists and turns. A few of them even caught me off guard.There was some confusion at one point in the story as things began to unravel and be revealed. I can't say too much in the details as it would be a spoiler, but I had to read a few sections over again and some details were still not clear. There were also some language in it though it was very minor. The sex was extremely limited though there were many extremely hot scenes that were just a taste of what was to come.An enjoyable read that I recommend.Note: This book was provided as part of a book tour with no expectation of a positive review.
