Idk I fell asleep in the middle. I need to re-read I think. ( )

Yay!!! I've been waiting for Ash and Janvier's book for FOREVER! Of course I loved it. There was some great angst in the beginning with Ash holding Janvier at a distance, seemingly inexplicably, but event when that was resolved, I still enjoyed their story.

Who's next!!!! I'm dying for Aodhan's story, and Illium's too, but I suspect Nassir is next on deck, if not another Raphael/Elena book. Looking forward to Nassir's story for sure - he's fascinating! Gah, guess I have a whole nother year to wait though :( ( )

The Guild Hunter series has a really interesting story arc to it. I find all of the character's to be very intriguing even the ones that I hate. Nalini Singh can always be trusted to write a series that has engaging characters and a full and fascinating story. ( )

I really enjoyed this story of Ashwini and Janvier's romance. It is hard to fit a romance in when both are busy trying to find a vampire who is brutalizing women and draining more than their blood. Ash is determined to find justice for a hopeful young woman who was used, abused and left in a trash dumpster. The more she finds out about Felicity the more she wants justice for her.

She and Janvier have been friendly enemies for quite a while. As a guild hunter, she has been sent to track him down on more than one occasion when he has irritated an angel. But all the while she has been falling for his Cajun charm. It helps that he is one of the few people that she can touch without being swept into his memories. Janvier has wanted her since he first saw her and has come to the point, after her near death in the angels' war, where he isn't going to be put off any longer.

Ash is keeping a secret that she believes prevents her from forming a relationship. Janvier has a lot to do to convince her that nothing will separate them.

I also enjoyed seeing Elena and Raphael in this one but wished we could have seen more of them. They are both busy picking up the pieces since the defeat, probably temporary, of Lijuan. I liked seeing Elena's growing relationship with the Legion and her growing role as Raphael's consort.

Fans of the Guild Hunters series will definitely enjoy learning more about these two characters. ( )

I really loved the hero in this book. He was utterly charming. I thought the heroine was good, but there were times when I wondered if she deserved him. Did she have reasons for shoving him away? You betcha. Very valid reasons. But there were times I thought the pushback was too much. That said, I enjoyed the book. These guys were a good match and I truly believed the hero loved--had loved her for a very long time. ( )
