Rating  - Can a Vampire and Lykae find love?
Lachlain is the Lykae King, but for over a century he's been imprisoned and tortured by the Horde. Thoughts of vengeance has kept the slimmest grip on sanity for him, but only one thing will truly save him: finding his one true mate. When he scents her walking far above his underground prison he finally finds the strength and will to do the impossible and escape. Unfortunately, he finds that his mate is a vampire--and it was vampires he's been fighting and who had imprisoned him. He is also barely holding on to sanity, but he needs to make sure she is the one without scaring her away...
Emmaline Troy is not a typical vampire. She's only half-vampire and she's been raised by Valkyries who are also enemies of vampires. All her life she's been timid and quiet, unable to even hurt a fly. She's in Paris to see if she can find out who her Vampire father was, but has been totally unsuccessful. Suddenly she's confronted by a crazy, animalistic Lycae who seems to have never seen cars or technology before--and one who hates vampires. He's gorgeous, however, but that doesn't quite inspire trust, particularly when he kidnaps her...
Lachlain and Emma are somewhat star-crossed lovers, as neither of their clans like the other. Lykae also have one mate and they mate for life. Vampires have their Brides, but Valkeries do not have these special mates and Emma isn't at all sure about Lachlain, even after he's sure she's the one--and has to try to cope with her being a vampire (or half-vampire).
I enjoyed the two main characters, although when Lachlain first goes after Emma there are overtones of forcing and molesting that bothered me a bit. I'm also not a fan of accents in dialog (Lachlain uses a lot of "dinna"s and "doona"s -- and I do love a Scots accent, I've had Scots boyfriend and have lived in Scotland, but these seemed so forced). I also don't really care for the nutty Nix or the crazy Valkyries. I should probably try to stay away from Cole's books with Scottish characters and with Nix in them, but this is sadly the second one I've read (people keep recommending them). I did enjoy the read, though. It was good to see Emma grow (although Lachlain being happy about her hitting him and dislocating his jaw is kinda sick). Lachlain, too is a decent character, able to get over his past and his prejudices in order to gain love.
Rating  - Terrific Romance and Good Action
Loved this book. I've only recently found Kresley Cole and I'm totally sold on her world. The characters are fun. The plot is compelling and interesting. The writing is excellent. There is some steam in this book, but it doesn't take over the story.
Loved the book.
Rating - An utterly captivating read!!
THE UTTER EROTISM OF THIS NOVEL PRACTICALLY LEAPS OFF THE PAGE. NOT ONLY DO YOU FALL IN LOVE WITH THE CHARACTERS YOU WISH YOU WERE LUCKY EMMA TO FEEL THE HEAT OF SUCH AN ALL CONSUMING LOVE. THIS IS TRULY AN EROTIC LOVE STORY.
Rating - Yay for an awesome new series!
I stumbled across Kresley Cole and I am sooooo happy I did. Her writing is awesome and addictive. I love her humor and she does an excellent job at developing characters that I actually care about. She ties everything together so well! I have not found a book of hers yet that I don't want to read in one sitting. I can't put the things down once I start!
Looking forward to this developing series!
