Sticking It to Cancer One Book at a Time

A supernatural Romancing the Stone

Pleasure of a Dark Prince by Kresley Cole

by Leave a Comment

I’m still working through the Immortals After Dark series from Kresley Cole. This series thrives on both the “enemies to lovers” and “fated mates” tropes. Two supernatural beings have a violent encounter, then spend the rest of the book fighting the passion between them. It can be formulaic, but always entertaining and often comforting. Never difficult to finish. Pleasure of a Dark Prince is the 8th book since the first novella, but the 11th novel that I’ve read from Cole. We go deep into the […]

A moody Vampire falls in love with an Ice Fey-Valkyrie

Untouchable (Immortals After Dark Book 7) by Kresley Cole

by Leave a Comment

I’m still deep into the Immortals After Dark series. I absolutely breezed through the four books featuring the brothers Wroth. Bless Robert Petkoff and his gripping narration. I really feel like all these characters are distinct when listening. The Wroths are from Eastern Europe. They were turned vampires during a deadly war. Each brother broods in his own way. Untouchable, which is part of the anthology Deep Kiss of Winter, is the seventh book that focuses on Murdoch Wroth. He seems to be the most dependable […]

Immortal Enemies to Fated Lovers

The Warlord Wants Forever by Kresley Cole

Wicked Deeds on a Winter's Night by Kresley Cole

I’m still working my way through Kresley Cole’s Immortals After Dark series. I’ve read her several of her books for previous Cannonball Read challenges. The author finds a way to pair up the most interesting supernatural creatures. Many of her books deal with fated mates, but often the alpha male attempts to use fate as an excuse to skip courtship. The female rarely finds this acceptable and a sexy and dangerous chase typically ensues. For CBR11, I decided to start at the very beginning with […]

Romancing the Stone with immortal beings

by 1 Comment

After a brief respite, I dove back into the Immortals After Dark series with No Rest for the Wicked. Much to my surprise, it had a very realistic (as it could be) romance between the paired supernaturals. Sebastian Wroth has retreated from the world to a dusty Russian castle so disgusted with his vampire existence. He was forcibly turned by his brothers and never forgiven them for it – or himself. He hides in a cave and hungers for death. However, fate issn’t done with him and brings […]

Werewolves are a tad possessive

by 3 Comments

I enjoyed reading Mrs. Julien’s hilarious Kresley Cole book reviews during previous cannonball reads. I read Shadows Claim last year when it was a Vaginal Fantasy pick, but didn’t really get fully hooked. So when I was in The Ripped Bodice, I decided to tackle one of the first books in the series for my trip to Greece. A Hunger Like No Other follows Lachlain, a lykae (werewolf) Scottish warrior on a journey of love and revenge. The male kind of his species mate for life when first meeting said […]

Honeymoon Trouble

by Leave a Comment

I came across My Big Fat Supernatural Honeymoon in Strand Books. It’s always nice to pick up an anthology as they tend to be easy reads. As a big fan of The Dresden Files series by Jim Butcher, his story “Heorot”about a kidnapped newlywed woman from an beer festival was enough reason to buy. His story brings back Miss Gard, a mysterious supernatural who consults for the kingpin of Chicago. I always liked her, so was fun to see them momentarily join forces and learn a tiny […]
