The badlands of South Dakota . . . haunting landscapes, legendary outlaws, and . . . vampires?
Lucas Donlon, Vampire Lord, is one of the most powerful vampires in North America and beyond. Charming and irreverent to his friends and lovers, he enjoys everything about his life as a vampire. But when a neighboring lord makes the mistake of declaring war, he quickly discovers that Lucas is every bit … every bit as lethal as he is charming.
Kathryn Hunter doesn’t care about powerful vampires or their wars. Her baby brother is missing, and she will do anything to find him, even if it means going against both her FBI bosses and the local vampire lord. But Lucas Donlon has other plans for the lovely FBI agent who’s landed on his doorstep.
Waging war against their enemies and each other, Lucas and Kathryn will risk everything to keep the most deadly vampire war in hundreds of years from engulfing every vampire and human in North America.

Raphael has always been my favorite of the series but Lucas is a serious contender for my heart! I love this Irish Vampire Lord!
As the war between Lucas and Klemens heats up, no one is spared from the fighting. Lucas has a war to concentrate on and when FBI Special Agent Kathryn Hunter shows up on his doorstep looking for her missing brother, Lucas can’t help but be drawn to the tall spitfire.
This is a distraction Lucas doesn’t need right now, especially when his possessiveness rears its ugly head where Kathryn is concerned. Can Lucas win the war and claim the heart of the special agent, or will his divided focus be his downfall?
I really enjoyed the story! I thought Lucas and Kathryn complimented each other beautifully. I loved Lucas’s playful character and merciless flirting. It took a while for me to warm up to Kathryn though. She is just so straight-laced and uptight; thankfully Lucas was able to soften her up a bit.
I also enjoyed the misdirection in Kathryn’s brother’s storyline. I was completely surprised! I loved the secondary characters but wished they had more page time. Hopefully we will revisit these characters in future books. What I love about the author’s stories is that the secondary characters are as equally interesting and important as the primary ones are.
I thought the book was well-written and the storyline held my interest the entire time. In the epilogue, we get our first look at Aden and a short segue into his book. I actually read Aden’s book first before I began the series and any of the books in the Vampires in America series can easily be read as standalone. I highly recommend the series to anyone who loves a well-written, character-driven story.

Lucas Donlon Vampire Lord of the Plains Territory is a charming, charismatic, playboy Irish Rogue. He loves women to a fault and they love him in return.
Kathryn Hunter FBI Agent is a buttoned up, play by the rules; don’t get in my way hard hitter on a mission to find her missing brother.
When these two meet the attraction is nothing less than explosive. While their physical attraction is electric, the emotional bond that develops will tear at the most hardened of hearts and weaken your resolve not to love these characters.
While I can’t venture so far as to say Lucas has unseated Raphael as the most bad-ass alpha in this series, I will admit that even though I impatiently await every new Vampire in America story, I was not prepared for the intensity and sheer genius of Ms Reynolds with this latest edition.
Just when you think an author can’t possibly exceed or surpass the quality of the riveting, compelling and all round kick arse content of their series, along comes Ms Reynolds to show you how it’s done.
Raphael is and will always be my favourite, but Lucas is standing right there beside him.
