Summary

Once, Sarah Bingham's biggest challenge was making her students pay attention in class. Now, after rescuing a wounded stranger, she's landed in the middle of a battle between corrupt vampires and powerful immortals who also need blood to survive. Roland Warbrook is the most compelling man Sarah has ever laid hands on. But his desire for her is mingled with a hunger he can barely control...

In his nine centuries of immortal existence, no woman has tempted Roland as much as Sarah. But asking her to love him is impossible---when it means forfeiting the world she's always known, and the life he would do anything to protect.

Good story

Good and original take on vampire/immortals. I liked it very much.
The only slightly less positive point was, that there were some slow paced parts that I did skip to stay interested. But that may have been just me being impatient.

Hit all the right buttons.

5* for everything. Enjoyed the growing attraction between the main characters and also the ‘side’ stories. Felt like a real family.

Absolutely fantastic!!

So well written, I enjoyed this story immensely. There were plot twists enough to keep me guessing, touching romance, plenty of spice, and a few gory parts. I can’t wait for the next one

I really like this narrator (I forget her name), she really brings the story, and characters, to life

Courageous,Pragmatic Heroine and Irascible but Gentle Hero

Loved and thoroughly enjoyed this audiobook. Engaging, fascinating, gripping,but also humorous story, with an underlying sub plot. As a fairly new audiobook listener, I found the narrators voice very easy to listen to. Some voices can very easily put me off purchasing an audiobook, but this narrator was very easy to listen to, and get engrossed in. Pulled me in, so much so that I will be looking to listen to the next in the series.

Darkness Dawns

This story starts off slowly, until you realise that the man tied down or those over him are human any more. Then it starts picking up speed, but I am not sure how she is able to go along with all of it so easily. May be having both parties untrustworthy would have been too much!

As more guardians join in the more you get to know about this world. Which makes it more believable and enjoyable.

Kirsten Porter has a lovely voice, easy to listen to but sometimes to miss the tension that the story is trying to convey.
