I definitely would buy this book . I really enjoyed it.

I liked this story a lot although it felt a little bit rushed because of it's length. Looking forward to more installments in the series.

I have always liked N.J. Walters books. I love the way she builds the characters in the story. I actually had forgotten that I had already read this short story. I liked it so much that i read it again!

Very interesting and unique way the author approaches this vampire story. Johanna's transformation was surprising; even more so was Cris's gentlemanly ways. Only downside was I felt bereft at the ending. Too quick for my "blood".

This one was just ok for me. Having read a fair few of this authors stories before and loved them this one fell short.

The storyline is ok but very predictable. Even though it's a short story it just jumps from one emotion to the next without you getting a feel of what's going on. You really don't get enough on Cristofor to connect to him in anyway and Johanna was again just an ok character. I enjoyed the mystery around it and the whole dream man coming to life thing.. it's different so it got my interest peaked. The sex scenes are the best thing about the story and are pretty hot but like I said the rest it just ok. For a short short which is why it's 3 stars I understand the lack of detail but in my opinion it just needs a little something more in the character build up.
I enjoyed it enough though so I guess it's just down to personal preference with this one.

I kindly received this ARC from netgalley in exchange for an honest review.

This is a nice paranormal bedtime read. Although it's a short story, the author did a good job of setting the stage for the characters so it didn't feel rushed.

Harker’s Journey is a sizzling hot vampire erotic experience. Johanna’s obsession with the fantasy of vampires has changed the course of her life, even if she isn’t aware of the subtle directional turns that have been made by an unseen hand for years now. Cristofor has had the lovely young woman in his sights for years. She was too young for the life he would offer her when he first discovered her location, but time and patience were things Cris had learned to cultivate over his long existence. She was his mate, his other half and he had no intention of losing her, ever. For years he came to her in dreams – until the time was right to bring her to his home.

I enjoyed Harker’s Journey for what it was… erotica in a paranormal setting.

I’ve never bought into the theory that it’s not possible to get a full story from a novella – it is possible, if the words used create that world. The lore of the vampire has always been the strong sensuous thrall that captures a woman’s senses, emotions. Call that today’s modern term of insta-love and there is no doubt that Johanna is emotionally captured by Cris or the thought of what he is. Since this is the first story in a series I’m going to go with world building for this first one and hope that the next has as much story as sex… that, for me, in erotica is the balance I look for in enjoyment factors.

I’ve enjoyed N.J Walter’s works in the past, and I’m looking forward to seeing where the Dalakis Passion series takes us.

*I received an e-ARC of this novel from the publisher via NetGalley. That does not change what I think of this story. It is my choice to leave a review giving my personal opinion about this book.*

I..didn't like this. Did not hit the mark for me. I thought it was a novel, but it's a novella and unless it's part of a series as a companion book I generally don't like novellas. But since I already got the book, I'd give it a shot. It sounded good.

It was a book of every sort cliche imaginable, especially insta-love..which I just can not handle.

He comes to her and they have sex. And then for ten years, he comes to her only in dreams on every full moon. And here's where I actually laughed out loud: for her job she is sent to a castle in Transylvania to meet with someone who asked for her. ..Seriously.

The sex scenes were good. I think if this was a full novel, i would enjoy it. If there was build up, and a chance for them to actually fall in love I would have liked it.

Thank you to Netgalley for a copy of this.

Johanna Harker’s rental car had broken down just as she coasted into the small village where she was staying. After asking at the inn and gas station she found only one man who would hire out his vehicle for the trip to Dalakis Castle. No amount of money could entice anyone else to drive her up the mountain path. The man had refused to go past where the pavement ended and the dirt road began. Then the driver sped away. Johanna was a city girl. It felt strange to be so alone. Johanna had a meeting to get to . Johanna was a representative of the Baxter Corporation in Chicago. Johanna was meeting with their largest client MR Dalakis. Mr Dalakis insisted a company representative hand- deliver all documents that needed his signature to his home in rural Transylvania. Since Johanna was the newest member of the investment firm she was the only one that could be spared from the office for an extended period of time . Johanna had been obsessed with vampires since her college days . since her nineteenth birthday when she had been visited by a dark lover in a dream. It hadn’t been a one time affair because every full moon just as he promised. He said to call him Cris . Cris knew Johanna was estranged from her family who thought she was weird and slightly crazy.Johanna realized her Cris was the client and he told her he was a vampire. If Johanna truly did not want him Cris would would not make her stay but he would have to let her go quickly. Cris signed the papers and yelled at Johanna to GO !! Johanna had run through the castle and down the long stairs but then stopped and knew she was being selfish and she loved Cris. She was going back when a wolf came out of the woods and then a second one seemed to come out of nowhere. But Cris came in wolf form and then he turned back to his human form and told the wolves “mine” and he told Johanna they will protect you with their lives as will the rest of the wolves in the forest. Then Johanna told Cris she was his and to take her home.
This was a great novella. Although short it left out nothing. It was a very hot novella. I loved the plot. I loved that Cris gave Johanna ten years to experience life and have a life. I loved that Johanna’s love for Cris overcame her fear. Also that the vampires were not killers and never forced their mates to join them but gave them a choice. I loved everything about this novella and I hope I get to read the other parts to this series. I loved the characters and the ins and outs of this story and I highly recommend.

'Harker’s Journey' by N. J. Walters is book One in the "Dalakis Passion". It is the story of Johanna and Cristofor 'Cris'. This is a short, hot vampire read with about 115 pages.
Cris is a vampire that has been looking for his true love / the other half of him. When he goes near a campus where he hears a calling by Johanna. Johanna was just given a Bram Stoker’s Dracula book which she feel in love with. That night Johanna dream of a handsome vampire that would come for her. When she woke the next morning she wasn't sure if she actual dream Cris or if it was real.
Cris wants to claim Johanna but she is a young 19 and thinks to wait 10 years for her.
This book deals with Johanna being 10 years older and meeting Cris in person.

I found "Harker's Journey" to be quite interesting. A very well-written story with wonderful characters. Excellent paranormal romance.

N.J. Walters always provides an exciting, breathtaking read, and Harker’s Journey is all that and more. It was easy to become totally enthralled by this captivating story.

Cristofor and Johanna are engaging characters and this fast-paced, passionate tale, shows how one night can change your future forever. I can’t wait to see what Ms Walters has in store for Lucien and Stefan!

Is you want lots of sex in a short period of time this book is for you. Easy plot line with no real in depth characters. I guess it is a start to a series just to get it started....well they sure get it started, in more ways the one.

Received a copy from the publisher through NetGalley.

The discovery of bram stokers Dracula will change Johanna Harker for life. Getting lost in the tale she soon realizes she would give anything for vampires to be real. Dreaming of a man in the shadows, Cris is someone no other man will live up to in Johanna's life.

Cris has been searching for his one true love all of his life. Finding her in a dorm isn't quite what he expected. He'll give her time to grow, but being away from her will be torture. When the time comes for Johanna to meet her dream man, will it be everything she ever dreamed? or will it be a complete nightmare?

IT was a good book and being a lover of vampires I was surprised by how I didn't want to put the book down. A good quick read and it's really good on top of it.

4.5 stars Sometimes dreams can be so much more!! I found myself quickly immersed in Harker’s Journey. I loved Cris and Johanna and how one night changed both of their paths. I look forward to reading Lucien and Stefan’s stories
