Book Blurb

Toot's Review by Stacy Sabala

Emeline Sanchez stays hidden in her home.  She knows Vadim will come for her.  He whispers to her and torments her.  She barely sleeps but fights him.  She wants to protect those around her.  Tariq has provided a safe place for her and the children she sacrificed herself for.  She also knows a powerful healer is coming to help her.  She doesn’t know if she can accept the help.  She also fears the hunter that roams the compound providing protection.  He is dangerous and everyone stays away from the ancient hunter.
Dragomir Kozel is a warrior that once lived in the monastery in the mountains.  He is unsure if he can hold on much longer nor does he think he can handle the modern women.  He has decided to go back to the monastery.  He is helping Tariq first.  He has hunted Vadim and his brothers before.  Hunting is the only thing he has until he saves Emeline. 
Vadim attackes the compound.  He is determined to take Emeline and kill the children she protects.  Em refuses to allow her dreams come true.  Dragomir will not die because of her.  She fights against Vadim and his puppets.  She refuses to let her fear stop her from saving him.
Dragomir is shocked to learn who Emeline is to him.  He is angry with himself for not seeking her out before now.  She is his lifemate and he bonds her to him.  She refuses to believe him.  She knows she is Vadim’s lifemate as he constantly claims her to be.
When Dragomir learns why Vadim continues to want Emeline, he is shocked.  He is determined to protect her and rid her of Vadim’s torment.  Shocking revelations are revealed along with surprising prisoners being saved.  Nothing will ever be the same for all involved.
I love this series.  Emeline is a sweet character and I read what happened to her and what she sacrificed.  I wanted to see what happened.  Her story was a bit shocking and very dark.  Vadim physically, mentally and emotionally raped her.  Her strength is tested as she fights his control.  The reader finds out how important she is and how strong she actually is.  She is an amazing character.  You understand her fear and her low view of herself.  She is constantly fighting the toxic words of a vampire.

Then add Dragomir, who is an ancient and feels he doesn’t fit in the modern world.  I like how he puts that aside to save his lifemate.  The author changes his complete outlook as he strives to save Emeline.  He is definitely sigh worthy as he takes care of her.  I loved the pairing.  It was an excellent addition.  I give it a 5 out of 5.
