Book Description

17 May 2006
After 150 years of hellish torture at the hands of the vampire horde, Lachlain, king of the Lykae (werewolf) clan, escapes his captors. He's disoriented and full of hatred, and yet he finds the mate he's been longing for for 1200 years in a small, delicate vampire. Desperate to find information on her parents, Emmaline Troy, a timid, overprotected half vampire/ half valkyrie, had travelled to Paris away from the protection of her valkyrie aunts for the first time in her young life (she's only 70), but she manages to be kidnapped by a raging Lykae who's tender to her one minute, though-if he is reminded she's a vampire-furious the next...

5.0 out of 5 stars A Wildly Delicious Read! 10 April 2006
Format:Mass Market Paperback
Ms. Cole's latest effort is "wildly" delicious and entertaining. She has taken the paranormal genre and created her very own legends and lore...filled with ultra entertaining characters.

Emmaline is half vampire and half Valkyrie. She is known in her coven as Emma the timid. Her family is shocked when she decides she wants to travel to Paris alone to find out the truth about her father. While there she is attacked by a handsome, yummy, strong, yummy, scary...oh yes yummy man who scares the stuffing out of her. She is even more shocked to find out that in order to return to Louisiana she will have to help Lachlain MacRieve the leader of a Lykae Clan return to his home in Scotland. She'll do it believing she will be allowed to return home. She has no idea Lachlain is her forever mate and he has no plans on ever letting her get away.

Lachlain has spent the last hundred and fifty years being tortured by the vampire Demestriu. He is slowly going mad and then...he scents his mate. He has been waiting an eternity to find her and he is not going to let her get away now. He is shocked and somewhat disgusted when he finds out his long awaited mate is half vampire. But despite this he can't keep himself from feeling things for the wee little Emma. She fires his blood and he will do what he must to keep her...even if it means to lie to her. Anything to get her home to Scotland where he will be able to keep her safe and protected when he goes to get revenge against Demestriu. But, life doesn't always go according to plan and wooing Emma is just one of those things. Will he be able to keep her safe and with him or will the vampire horde take away the one thing he needs to live?

Lachlain and Emma are wonderfully constructed characters. These two are both strong likeable characters.... Read more ›

5.0 out of 5 stars OMG! This is outstanding! 25 May 2006
By Detra Fitch TOP 500 REVIEWER VINE™ VOICE
Format:Mass Market Paperback
After enduring fifteen decades of torture from the vampire horde, Lachlain MacRieve, king of the Lykae Clan, finally scents the predestined mate he has waited millennia for. He does the unthinkable to escape and track her down. But upon doing so, he is enraged to find that she is a vampire, a bloody leech! It hardly matters that Emmaline is half Valkyrie too. Yet she is the one, no question about it.

Emmaline "Emma" Troy never knew her parents. She grew up with a coven of Valkyries at Val Hall Manor, just outside New Orleans. At the young age of seventy, Emma sets out to uncover the truth about her deceased parents - until a powerful Lykae claims her as his mate and forces her back to his ancestral Scottish castle. There, her fear of the Lykae, and their notorious dark desires, ebbs as Lachlain begins a slow, wicked seduction to mark her as his - forever!

As the Valkyries prepare for war to get Emma back and Lachlain vows to never release her, there is another ancient evil searching for Emma. Will their desire deepen into a love that can bring a proud warrior to his knees and turn a gentle beauty into the fighter she was born to be?

***** OMG! You have GOT to read this one! If I ever find this title in hardback I will not hesitate to buy it. I plan to search the book clubs immediately. But I simply had to spread the word about this enthralling series! Author Kresley Cole has created a world that DEMANDS another visit from readers. I was so engrossed in reading it that my husband asked if I had super glued my eyes to the pages. I can hardly wait until "No Rest for the Wicked" is released later this year. Do not worry, each title is a stand alone story. But the author will have her hands full to top this one. On a side note, my favorite secondary character is Nïx.

4.0 out of 5 stars Sizzling!! 31 Mar 2006
By A Customer
Format:Mass Market Paperback
A new paranormal series - Lachlain is a werewolf who has been captured in chains by vampires for 150 years repeatedly burned and reincarnated. Only the knowledge that his mate exists keeps him going, then one day he "scents" her and gets free. The problem is of course that his mate is a vampire - or is she?

This is an excellent new series and the development of both characters and the will they won't they interactions is definately worth waiting for - a good read!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Sweet couple!!! 26 May 2010
Format:Mass Market Paperback
I find it disturbing when the majority of romance books I am reading, contains sexual attractiveness, but severely lacking in foundations setting up the falling in love scenario and fall short in characterisation development to create profound connection between the h/h. Needless to say, this book did not disappoint me and the connection between Lachlain and Emmaline was exiting and the author actually spent some time to fully develop their characters as well as their growing feelings to one another. I dare to say, that I was not impressed at first with Lachlan's motives upon Emmaline, but it was after reviled the reason behind it (thank goodness) and I was satisfied with both the hero and heroin's point of views and I could easily relate to the complexity of divergence between them.

Aside from the romance, there is a good plot of secondary characters and adventure in particular, I found interesting, when Emmaline struggled to come face to face with her own father as being her enemy and how she actually managed to overcome her own fears and did the right thing to do. I found Emmaline very innocence, non materialistic, brave and independent and the whole combination was so refreshing! Lochlain was more complex, but that just added the mystery and sexiness to his character which blended well with his softer side, as being protective and determine. My major highlight of the book was when Lochlain actually admitted to himself the mistakes and hurt he caused Emmaline and the immediate remorse he felt it which melted my heart and I could forgive him his flaws.
