All three books are now ready to be devoured!Essence is book three in the Nectar trilogy, a dark paranormal romance. Reading these books in order is essential. This is a dark paranormal vampire romance and contains scenes and … contains scenes and triggers that may be disturbing.
If you haven’t read books one and two, they are available.
1 – Nectar
2 – Ambrosia
Contains: VAMPIRES, BLOOD, SEX, BAD GUYS, GOOD GUYS, HOT GUYS, ANSWERS, and running-a-red-light sex.
In Nectar, we met Tristan and Kyla, who found themselves together in a dark bedroom. Kyla, an offering to Tristan, a royal vampire with an insatiable appetite.
They were almost instantly addicted to one another. Even if Kyla tried to resist.
Kyla couldn’t help feel magnetized, drawn to the handsome vampire prince, despite the fact that he held her in his home and in his bedroom against her will. He forced her to feel things physically as well as emotionally.
Tristan was clearly drawn to Kyla, too. Not only was she his preferred type but the fact that she wasn’t mesmerized and vacant like all the others and the fact that her blood was better than any blood he’d ever tasted created a fierce protectiveness as well as other mysterious emotions in him.
He transformed from arrogant hedonistic vampire to a lovesick romantic.
Love is rarely easy and this REALLY seems to be the case when the supernatural gets added into the mix!
Things weren’t going well at the end of book one and Kyla had a tough snap decision to make.
In Ambrosia, Kyla had to deal with the fallout of that decision and process the truth, as it revealed itself. There was a whole lot of stunning, unbelievable truth to process while she felt herself changing, getting stronger, exhibiting some supernatural powers of her own.
At the end of Ambrosia things went terribly wrong and Tristan was faced with the reality of the agendas of those around him, those he’d trusted, those who had been grooming him for his leadership role. And he was faced with the inexplicable agony associated with a choice that he had to make.
Essence begins with Tristan’s POV as he processes what happened at the end of book two and tries to find a way to right those wrongs while keeping his head together despite wanting to turn into an inferno that melts everything in sight.
“Standard vampire romance, right? The vampire falls for the human, the human falls for the vampire, and then she becomes a vampire and they live happily ever after. Isn’t how this goes? That’s how it always goes.”
Nope.
Not even close.
The twists, the turns, the steam (phew), the blood? Wait until you see where this story goes!
This book is the end of the Nectar trilogy but won’t be the end for these characters. There’s a HEA, no cliffy, but the doors will be left open for the possibility of future stories about some of the secondary characters as well as the opportunity to see where Tristan & Kyla’s adventures will take them next.
This dark romance contains explicit sex, blood and gore, violence, sexual aggression, potential triggers, and a connection that surpasses all the heroine and her alpha vampire prince ever thought possible.

Finally, a unique and fresh take on vampire lore. Devoured this trilogy over the course of four days (instead of, you know, doing what I should have been). Loved, loved, loved!
This is the conclusion to the trilogy. There is a lot of information and storyline in this book. I picked up on new things that I had missed the first read through. That is how much is happening in the story. I still am claiming Tristan. He is mine. This author knows how to write an anti-hero. MMMMM HMMMM. Yummo.
I cannot wait to see what the future holds for some of the secondary characters in this story.
I cried a little when this series came to and end! But, is it really over? I think DD Prince may have some surprises up her sleeve with other characters from The Nectar Trilogy!

‘Essence’ is the last book in the ‘Nectar’ trilogy and the continuing romance story of Kyla and her vampire love Tristan.
This book was divided into two parts, in the first part we got Tristan’s POV and in the second part we got Kyla’s POV. I’m very happy that the writer did it this way. It made me understand Tristan’s character and feelings so much more. You really could feel Tristan’s despair, pain, guilt and love in the first part. It was so emotional. I loved that! But don’t worry, Tristan may now be more ‘human’ sensitive then in the first book that if needed, he can still be very ruthless and deadly. In the end, he is still a very dominant, alpha vampire who is very protective of his woman.
Of the three books, this one was my favourite. I think because the main focus of the story was again on the couple Kyla and Tristan and their feelings (just like in the first book). It was a little bit less dark then the second book (or to me it felt that way) but the story was still very emotional and intense and with each secret revealed there came a hopefulness in the story too.
After what happened in the previous book I was very curious what would happen next and the writer did a wonderful job of giving us the answers needed to leave this vampire world with a good feeling. All my questions were answered (I loved the epilogue(s)) and the main characters may still have a hard and difficult route ahead of them but I have all confidence in this couple.
The secondary characters in this story were also very interesting. It was lovely to discover new (family) characters and to get to know some other familiar characters better.
This vampire trilogy was a very interesting, emotional and intense read. It was perfectly balanced between not too dark and not too light. I think it’s perfect if you want to try a dark read but also nothing too dark. It does have a few triggers so not for the tender-hearted.
Whew! Finished this trilogy in 3 days and I don’t want to leave Tristian and Kyla! This book and trilogy was so much more than I ever expected. Oh, and I don’t read vampire books, ever! D.D. Prince converted me and I am not complaining! I have been on the edge.of my seat reading this book. Action, deception, love, hate, and secrets. I really hope she writes more of this series, so many stories to tell! You will absolutely not regret reading this series!
