Good book!
Still not sure if I actually like the characters but it did further the overall arc of the series. So, yay? The sex is haaaaawt.

attempted re-read May 2014: Can't do it. Once through with the awful Sidonie was quite enough. ( )

I was able to obtain this arc through ImaJinn Books via Netgalley. When I was able to get this one, I could hardly wait to read it. Even though its the seventh installment in the series, I found Aden to be a sexy paranormal romance that held my attention from page one. The story begins when Sidonie is desperate to get her story out about slavery. So she meets up with a powerful vampire, Aden, who is close to gaining the power of the Midwest. Sidonie doesn't trust Aden further than she can throw him, but after meeting him she knows she will have to watch carefully, because he could be very dangerous, not physically but emotionally. Sidonie is determined to prove how horrid slavery is and its spreading like wildfire. If only she only knew how Aden feels toward slavery of any form. Aden was once a slave before he became a vampire, and he knows horrific truth of it all. When Aden first meets the redhead, he doesn't want anything more than a sexual nature, however when Sidonie's life is threatened and they are thrown into a war zone, Aden knows that he will do everything to save her even at the cost of losing everything he has worked for.

I loved the style of the story of Aden. Aden is a powerful alpha male that is for sure, and doesn't let anyone stand in his way. That is until Sidonie arrives upon the scene. He has many alpha characteristics, and comes off way strong, but I love how he doesn't let Sid have her way, instead he practically backs her into a corner. Sidonie isn't used to not getting her way, so when she meets Aden every good intention is thrown out the window every time he touches her and inflames the passion that has been hiding beneath the surface. The relationship between Aden and Sidonie is quite steamy at times( a warning that it does have a bit of a BDSM element) , but I also loved how the author put in the aspect of softer side to the relationship. There is quite a bit of a danger and intrigue element that is put into play in the plot, that only strengthened the tone of the story.

Overall I fell in love with Aden. This is the first book that I have read from this author. And until I came across this book the first time I heard of this author. I read the latest book in the series, so I still need to get my hands on the other six. Very excited to read those installments and see if they are just as good as this title was. A thrilling tale of paranormal vampires, sizzling desire, and some intense action packed story. A WINNER!! ( )

Positives & Negatives
The only negatives I came up with is 3 typos. They are in my kindle highlights.
Aden is competing to be the next lord of Chicago & Sidonie is adamant about closing down the slave ring.
The suspense of the challenge and challengers and the mystery of the slave organization keep you absorbed in the story.
The two main characters set the pages on FIRE!! The passion between Sidonie and Aden runs sizzling hot and keeps you captivated in their relationship. Even though the attraction is instant, they are both reluctant to take it for more than lust.
Awesome book.
Extremely well written.
Flows so smooth and keeps you so involved you will swear you were there.
Can I make this my new favorite of the 'Vampires in America' series?
These two characters may have just beat the 1st book with Cyn & Raphael. It is that close! ( )

I really love D. B. Reynolds and her vampires. This particular hero was quite sexy. I liked him, especially given his background. The heroine was cute. Some of her sexual behavior wasn't completely believable, but it didn't detract from my enjoyment of the story. Can't wait to see what she comes up with next. ( )

I liked it, bit I have to say that Aden took 'jerk' to a whole new level. Sid was definitely a delight to read and to know, seeing her grow into a woman even more strong then when the book started was one of the best points of the book. By the end of the book, Aden grew on me and pretty much everything he did made me and Sid melt. LOL. I can't wait to read about the next vampire lord in town and who or what the next threat is. ( )
