The laws are simple for witches and vampires: Falling in love is forbidden.
As interim Regent to the witches of Sterling, Chelsea Greaves has an image to maintain and laws to uphold. But it didn’t stop her from breaking the most sacred order and falling in love with a vampire. If they’re caught in a torrid affair, the witches will have her hung and burned. It’s him, or the witches—and her fear … him, or the witches—and her fear is calling the shots.
Lucien Frost always had it all as a King of Sterling. Except the girl. He spent the better part of a decade in limbo with Chelsea, and each time he watched her walk away, he lost a part of himself. But when the line is finally crossed, and Chelsea’s secrets revealed, he questions whether she’s worth more heartbreak—or if it’s time to walk away for good.
When the cost of falling in love is death, will Lucien and Chelsea risk all to follow their hearts, or will they call it quits to save themselves?
If you love fast-paced forbidden paranormal romance, vampire alphas, and sassy heroines, then you’ll love this refreshing new twist on witches and vampires in the first in the Kings of Sterling series.

Ok so it was definitely a different take on Vampires and Witches. It was very enjoyable and hard to put down from the first word. Easy to read, fast paced just spicy enough to keep interesting. Romantic scenes are tastefully done to where you get your imagination go. Well done solid story line..

I enjoyed this story even though it felt like there were some things missing that could have filled in some holes, however with this being the first in the series, I didn’t expect to know everything about everyone from the start. I would have like to have seen some more background information provided for the characters, but all in all, this was an enjoyable read.

Background seems to be missing. No explanation for past. Characters were okay though. Though the female lead character lacked a spine as far as I can tell. If she truly loved the main male character then there shouldn’t have be any hesitation. All in All, easy read and smooth storytelling.
This was a fantastic paranormal romance! It was well written with a really engaging plot and a great dynamic between the characters. Overall the book was really well written and truly enjoyable. I loved it and I would recommend it to others!

Lucien is the vampire king of Georgia and Chelsea is a witch. They are forbidden to be together but that doesn’t stop them from giving into temptation. They try to see each other in secret because if the Elders find out it will give them just what they want to kill them both. Years pass as Chelsea longs to be with her love openly. Lucien is tired of having secret moments with his love. Will they ever get the chance to be together like they really want? Can they change how the elders think in order to be happy?
This is a great story that once I started it I couldn’t put it down. The chemistry between them is blazing hot. This is a well written and very entertaining story. I would recommend it to any book lover.

Chelsea and Lucien were not supposed to fall in love. She’s a witch with very strict laws against romance of any kind with other species. She’s also the interim Regent of Sterling. Lucien Frost is the King of Sterling and also a vampire. Fifty years of attraction turns into a forbidden romance with lots of twists and turns. Highly recommend starting this series!
This is the first book in the Sterling series. I never thought I would hear of this again, a witch and a vampire having a loving relationship. It’s great but the laws, geez pretty strict for witches. It’s a great fun read. It’s well written and emotional. I am just hoping the 2 books left in this series is just as good as the first.

I hate starting a series that I know that I will be obsessed with and this book is one of those. Chelsea and Lucien have a real issue that is keeping them apart and yet they can’t stay away from each other. The characters are great. I wished I had more of the back story but it really leads into the next book well. You’ll be hooked. I received a free copy and am leaving my honest review.
A different way of seeing things but well worth it.
Witches and vampires living together in the same community.
I thoroughly enjoyed this story and will be following this author a bit closer now to see what else I can find as it kept me interested right through.
I received a copy of this in exchange for this, my honest opinion.
What a start to a series!! Absolutely fantastic!! I already want book two! I loved it!! Talk about some intense moments. Witches be damned is the motto but will it be true? Blood shed is a definite and not the neat way either. Debilitating Fear is a real thing for Chelsea, will she ever get over it and if she does will it be in time? Or will she loose her true love forever.
Ok now I’m just gonna lay it out for you…I fussed and cussed at Chelsea. I was just sooo mad at the way she was acting and treated Lucien. I absolutely loved the Lucien, Damion and Ollie…such good vampire men and brothers. No matter what they feel for each other they will always be there for them. I recommend reading!!

A witch falls in love with a vampire. This is a story of a witch falling in love with a vampire which is forbidden and punishable by death! Chelsea is the Regent of the witches but is watched and spied on all the time. But she loves Lucien who is one of the King of Sterlings who is to keep the witches away. They have to sneak around to be together but want to be open about it but know if they are discovered he will be killed and she hung in a tree and burned! They want to changed this ancient law but it’s not their time to rule so what can they do? I voluntarily reviewed an Advanced Reader Copy of this book.
Emotionally thrilling, action packed journey filled with dangerous and exciting charters, witty dialog, heart racing twists, shaken loyalties and undeniable passion….. was a great read! Really enjoyed this interesting new take on vampires and witches.
This novel starts right in, no guessing if they will or won’t we know Lucien and Chelsea have heat right away. Generations worth of heat. Steamy sex scenes, but not over the top, just enough to be delightful. Generatiosn of a turf war between Vampires who are sexy as hell and Witches that aren’t exactly building a fanbase around town. The author does an amazing Job at setting the scenes, beyond the steamy bits. I must say, Juleps is a fantastic name for a Club, first of all and then of course you have the City, the docks, the backroads, the woods, and all the other mysterious places vampires and witches need to roam for hundreds of years. The two ‘gangs’ can’t interact and you can be killed for doing so. Some day our young lovers will be in charge and will implement change, but that time hasn’t come ….yet. This is first int he Kings Of Sterling Series.
At one point when Lucien and Chelsea know they can’t risk a night together Chelsea goes home and there is a great line: “The last thing she wanted was to watch was how the girl got the guy despite all the obstacles thrown at them.” This sums up a lot of romance novels, paranormal or not, but trust me with the author setting out to draw you into the world of Sterling you will enjoy this begining to end.
I loved this different take on witches and vampires! Fast paced this forbidden love story is highly enjoyable and is full of drama, intrigue, romance , some hot hot hot scenes , great chemistry and betrayal!

Terrific start to a very promising series! I so enjoyed reading this book I read it from beginning to end in one day and now im anxiously awaiting the next book in the series! The story was very well written, never had a dull moment, I fell in love with the main characters and despised the villains. The romance was smokin hot, the drama was nail biting and the paranormal aspect made it even more fun and exciting. This is a MUST Read!!!!
