Vlad is Vlad, and Leila is still struggling with his control freakery and his almost pathological need to protect her. But she\u2019s a strong heroine, and their relationship dynamic is brilliantly entertaining.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cCompromise Lesson One: Pull a dick move, and your dick gets denied. Every woman knew that, and now, so did the vampire sitting next to me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>After the discovery that Vlad\u2019s most reviled enemy is still after him, the action is pushed up a notch and all hell breaks loose. Death, destruction, torture and betrayal, it\u2019s all happening, and OMG it\u2019s intense! Physically and emotionally, Leila and Vlad go through so much in this book, and some of it is really awful to read, but ultimately it brings them together even stronger than they were before and I loved watching the development not only of their relationship, but of them personally.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cYou aren\u2019t just my weakness, Leila.\u201d Vlad drew me next to him, one hand sliding along my jaw while the other caressed my back. \u201cYou are my destruction, because if I were to lose you, it would finish me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>OMG, I love Vlad! He\u2019s such an arrogant ass but he knows it, he totally owns it, and he is completely unapologetic.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cI want a hardened man, not a mass-murdering, pathologically vengeful one,\u201d Vlad said. \u201cThere\u2019s only room for one of those in my line right now, and that\u2019s me.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>And the fact that he is who he is and all that he is capable of makes seeing him vulnerable and in love is so, so gorgeous. He opens up beautifully to Leila, and I melted every time he got romantic. And then there\u2019s the sex \u2013 which is more than\u00a0<em>just<\/em>\u00a0sex, there\u2019s an incredibly strong emotional connection between them now and holy hell, they are so hot together!<\/p>\n<blockquote><p><em>\u201cYou\u2019re mine,\u201d he breathed against my neck when his lips left mine to travel lower. \u201cForever. Say it.\u201d<br \/>\n\u201cI\u2019m yours,\u201d I swore, the words ragged from passion. \u201cForever. Now, take me and prove it.\u201d<\/em><\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>I am loving this series! And I\u2019m really looking forward to more to come with book 4 due to be released next year.<\/p>\n<p>A fantastic, highly entertaining read \u2013 4 stars.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h4><strong>The Night Prince series<br \/>\n<\/strong><\/h4>\n<p>These books are a spin from the Night Huntress series.\u00a0 This series is one, continuous story and obviously these books need to be read in order, but they fit in after book #6.5 of the Night Huntress series (with the first two books taking place before book #7).<\/p>\n<h4><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" data-attachment-id=\"9828\"
