EDITORIAL REVIEWS:
“This is a fast paced read that had me hooked from the beginning. Ms. Grosso grabs your attention and doesn’t let go. She starts off with the female lead who is a cop, who knows how to handle herself and doesn’t take crap from anyone. The male lead is vampire candy! They work together well, and the chemistry is hot! Sex scenes are steamy and well written…If you are looking for a great new series I hope you will consider Kade’s Dark Embrace, you will not be disappointed!” ~NIGHT OWL REVIEWS

“It was a fun supernatural romance and the paranormal/ voodoo elements were great. The hunky vampire character really appealed to me, as did Sydney and her foul mouth tirades. I am looking forward to reading more from this author and can’t wait for another installment in the series.” ~ON THE BROOMSTICK REVIEWS
“This paranormal romance is quite good. It has a little bit of everything. Vampires, of course. And werewolves, magicians, and witches. The plot and characters are well developed, and the pace is relatively fast, which is appropriate for a thriller. Highly recommended.” ~MIDWEST BOOK REVIEWS

strong>Total panty drop book!!!
This is the first book I’ve read by kym grosso and it won’t be the last!!! Kades embrace is the first book in the immortals of new Orleans iits about A hot as hell vampire and a tough hot cop Sydney when these two come together its hot as hell. Kades ex lover wants him back and she’s a crazy bitch who will kill anything in her path and Syd is in her cross hairs! The immortals of new Orleans are some of the sexist hottie’s vamp characters I’ve read in along time. Can’t wait to read all the other books in this series!!! 5Big. Wet any stars!!!
Love the story, but could cut back the steamy.
Apparently I read this book for a bookclub last year. I had only the vaguest memory of it (my memory is terrible, so not the books fault) but I picked up the audio version on a whim, wanting to remind myself of Grosso’s books before meeting her at a book signing next month and boy, am I glad I did. This book has everything. A fiercely independent female. A strong and mysterious vampire. A crazy voodoo casting witch hell-bent on destroying them all. Plus it’s set in New Orleans which is pretty much the coolest spot for any sort of paranormal romance if you ask me. I loved the push and pull between Sydney and Kade. I loved that she didn’t instantly give in to him or give up her whole life to be with him. She had her own issues to work through and once she did it was nice to see them compromise and find a way to be together that made them both happy and fulfilled. I can’t wait for Luca’s book which I started immediately upon finishing this one.
This was the first book I read of Kym’s, and I was hooked on her sexy, over-the-top immortals, and what a great setting: New Orleans. Great sexy read for those dark and stormy nights when you want someone to scare you and love you to death! Thanks, Kim.
The Immortals of New Orleans is one of my all time favorite series and it all started with this free book! I have eagerly/impatiently waited for each new book! Kym Grosso is a fantastic author! She magically pulls you into her stories and you don’t want to leave! If you like hot paranormal romance with action and suspense don’t miss this series! They are most enjoyable if read in order. Enjoy!!

Learning to work together
If you like your vampires to be hot over the top alpha males, and who doesn’t, you are going to love this book. The author filled the pages with an amazingly intense story that keeps you hoping from the first page. There is so much action and danger and this sweet little love story that grows throughout the entire book. I love how she leaves us with a HEA and a hint of what is to come. I can’t wait to read the next book.
*WARNING* contains adult content
Sydney is a strong, independent, female, Philadelphia police officer. Sydney is not happy when the paranormal police decide to take over her homicide case.
Kade is the vamp in charge. Kade is informed of so seedy stuff happening in his region and decided to handle it himself. What Kade isn’t ready for, is the instant attraction he feels for the tough as nails, human detective that doesn’t want to give up the case.
This is a great book. This combination of romance and action is wonderfully balanced. There is an instant attraction between human and vamp, but that’s not what the whole story is about and it’s not acted upon immediately. I really enjoyed the chase for finding the murders.
Absolutely Love this series!!!
Looking an action packed and paranormal filled with a sexy alpha vampire and a beautiful headstrong human detective with lots of chemistry!!
A great and captivating story line with steamy sex and and a crazy es hellbent on revenge. This is a 5 star all around!! I listened to it on Audible!!!
Great first book to the absolute best paranormal series ever! Kym Grosso’s books are fabulous, sexy and exciting! This series is a definite must read.
Excellent read
I could not put this book down. My lunch hour was too short. Any down time I had, I had to be reading this book. Loved it.
All I can say is, “Wow!”
This book was so good that I could not put it down!Kade and Sydney are hot!
This is not your typical vampire/human love story, which is why I read it in 2 days. I also love NOLA, which made me love this story even more!
I can’t wait to read about Luca!!!
I love a good thriller and I really enjoy a good love story. Combine the two and you can’t lose. Not your typical vampire book. Enjoy! I certainly did. Great job Kym.
This author was a first for me and this story was good. I thought the characters were well written and look forward to reading the next book in the series since it is Luca who did not care for humans. I thought Sydney got to him since she knew that he didn’t quite care for her.
The story is fast paced, hard, ballsy, and frustrating (but in a good way). The voice, the tone, of the story had a no-nonsense, hardened cop feel I just loved. I can’t help but like Sydney, who is about the most hardheaded person I’ve ever met. She is everything that I just described the story as. She is sexy and fun and I find it hilarious that every guy she’s encountered so far in the book wants to screw her brains out. And I loved that when the male lead turns her down, she decides to go and boink his friend.
Like a good mystery, the story keeps you guessing. The author keeps the tension ramped the entire time, either with the case or with the ever growing sexual tension between Kade and Sydney.
The only true fault I had with the book was with the first dead body – the floater. The body was too new to be a floater. Why was the skin slack? A body that’s a couple of days old is entering the first few days of decomp. Bodies don’t float until 8-10, under rare conditions starting at 7. The body’s skin doesn’t become slack until after gas build up has dissipated, which is long after the floating stage. So why was it called a floater? Why didn’t the coroner correct that assumption? Why was she called a coroner when the city of Philadelphia has a Medical Examiner’s office on 321 University Ave? Why did she put the coroner’s office in the same building as the police station when there is no medical examiner’s office in the same building as a police station? The closest I could find was a University Police Department. But those are minor things that would probably only matter to you if you either lived in Philly or had experience in law enforcement.
As a word of warning, the ARC copy I received had head hopping. While this doesn’t bother me, I know it bothers some, so I felt it only right I include that in my review.
In closing, this book had me glued to the “pages” the entire way. Even with the initial inconsistency in the crime scene, this is definitely a five star read.
Vampires, oh my
What a great story about vampires and stubborn women can work together to fight the bad guys. Kade came up to find out what was going on in Philadelphia. Sydney is the detective on the case and doesn’t want to work with him. Until she is attacked in her own home and he rescues her and takes her to New Orleans does admit she needs help. But is there love when it’s all said and done.
This is the second reading for this book for me. A elite vampire and a human detective met at a crime scene. A struggle for who leads (no ego involved — not) and an awareness which catches both by surprise. Old history and new chemistry. A great start to a great series (I own several more books in the series).
I loved this story. It is quick but fast paced full of action. I loved Sydney and her feisty personality. She sure was strong and passionate. Kade was protective and loyal. There was suspense, mystery, drama and laughter at times. It was extremely well written with descriptions that were radiant. I hope in the next books that were see more of them. This was stunning and most definitely worth reading reading and doesn’t disappoint.
