You can never say anything bad about this author. Mrs.Davies is just a fabulous author she know how to touch you and leave you smiling. I was hooked it was magical and wonderful to read this story.
Love is a magical thing and when you find you have to fight for it. it doesn’t matter who or what you are. Ronan is the perfect gentleman and vampire king. Kadence was made for him she was exactly what his soul needed and it was so great to read this story. I love it and can’t wait to see what you come up with next.
I admit it. I used to be a glutton for vamp romance. I’d devour them like a chocoholic in a candy factory. But as with anything glut, it begins to grow old after a while. I stopped reading vampire romance and only recently decided to pick up a couple and check out the new offerings.
While this isn’t a twisted new take on anything I’ve read in the past, it is a fun, fast read that kept me turning the pages. I loved the heroine and could empathize with her dilemma. The hero was dark and brooding which is a given. I loved the secondary characters and the brother of the heroine was a favorite. Now I have to check out his story, which I think is the next book in the series.
Loved everything about this book. Actually all of Brenda K Davies books are awesome!!!
I loved this book so much! This is the eighth book that I’ve read by this author and I am completely addicted to her writing. I first fell in love with the Awakenings series and this book begins the spinoff series called the Alliance. By the time I made it halfway through the book, I was already labeling it my favorite paranormal romance to date.
We first meet Ronan in Enraptured, the fourth book in the Awakenings series. My curiosity was definitely peaked and I couldn’t wait to read his story. Ronan is the oldest and most powerful vampire in existence. He leads the Defenders, a group of purebred vampires that hunt and kill the monsters of their race. Admiration for his character grew with each new fact I learned and in seeing the loyalty and devotion from each member of his team. They would follow him straight into hell if need be.
Ronan has spent the last thousand years fighting his darker nature. He’s always known the day would come in which he may have to be destroyed due to turning Savage. Savages are the ultimate evil. They have given up the fight to protect the innocent and start killing them along with other horrific acts. Ronan and his team hunt and kill Savages in order to keep not only humanity but other vampires who live a peaceful existence.
In comes Kadence, a vampire hunter, who I absolutely loved. She has lived in a hunter stronghold where women are anything but equal to men. Their only lot in life is to breed and make whatever hunter she is betrothed to happy. But she is amazing in her capabilities that far outweigh being just a wife and mother. She is set to be married off soon when her father is murdered by a Savage. Now her twin brother is the leader of the Hunters and on the hunt for their father’s killer. Kadence is determined to see that vengeance take place so she sneaks out of the stronghold.
The really entertaining action in this book begins as three powerful groups come face to face in an alley. The action that takes place in this story was phenomenal and written in a way that I was able to “see” everything take place as if I were watching a movie.
Ronan and Kadence come face to face with an intensity that leads to an amazing tale of fated mates. She could be the answer to saving him before the darkness takes over. Kadence finally begins to experience true freedom but she also knows she has to try to build a bridge between the Defenders and the Hunters so they can fight a common enemy together. I can’t wait to see where this possible Alliance will take us in future books.
Great read!!! I highly enjoyed reading this book!
A really great start to series. Purebred Vampire Ronan and purebred Hunter Kadence meet and sparks fly. Well written, unpredictable,sexy, exciting,humor, and twists to keep you reading. This book kept me interested with different facts about both the vampires and hunters that haven’t seen in other books. Great supporting characters that had be buying second book before halfway done with this one.
read a while ago and can’t remember the story, which is unusual for me.
This was an okay read, but failed to really draw me in to that world
Can wait to read next in series
Author provided some interesting twists to the standard Lore. I enjoyed the characters.
Definitely sexy and descriptive…. but enjoyable!
This book seems to be in the middle of a series or a spin off. It would have been more enjoyable with the back story. That being said, it was a good book that I enjoyed very much. It gave enough of the back story to understand the dynamics. The heroine was an interesting combination of self sacrificing and head strong. She demands to live life her way, but she is driven by duty.
So good I bought the second book in the series and started another series by this author!
Actually a 4.5 star. Loved the characters and the whole world enough to buy the next book in the series. It does it for me and I will buy more if the plots and writing hold up at the same level.
Be prepared, it’s a great book but you are left hanging at the end. Go ahead and purchase the 2nd in the series!
well developed characters. A touch of whimsy and funny lines in the middle of it all.
I enjoyed this book very much. It had a different twist from the usual vampire genre. The characters were well developed and I found the book hard to put down. I have purchased the next book in the series and have pre-ordered the third book in the series. That speaks highly in my books (pun) .
Couldn’t help it, I had to buy book 2.
I wanted to like this book, but I think I am just flat tired of excessive sexual tension and etc, I really was hoping for a good vamp story, and while this is not badly written it lost me in the first chap with all the soulmate stuff right off the bat.
Entertaining urban fantasy with developing characters. This is the first in a series. Strong protagonist and antagonist storyline.
