Maddox is one of the Lords of the Underworld, a group of
warriors cursed for their involvement in unleashing the
demons from the box protected by Pandora. Their punishment
was to forever live with a demon trapped inside their
body. Maddox is the keeper of violence, and there is a
fine line between the demon's desires and his own. He has
to struggle to keep the demon at bay until a woman comes
into his life. The demon and the man both want to possess
the woman body and soul, and that confuses him as they have
never agreed on anything. He becomes possessive of a
female who may be there to capture and harm all of the
warriors. Who is this woman? What does she want? What
kind of spell has she cast on him that affects him so much?
Ashlyn Darrow has a curse of her own. She has the ability
to hear all the conversations that have ever occurred in
any given place. During a recent scouting mission in
Budapest, she learns of a group of men who may be able to
help her quiet the voices. If there is any chance of that
happening, then she has to find them. When she encounters
Maddox on the hillside, the voices quiet instantly. She
finds herself attracted to him, and knows that he feels the
same, but he keeps pushing her away and calling her bait.
What exactly is bait? Who are these warriors? Are they
the angels the villagers seem to think they are or are they
something far more ominous?
Gena Showalter has laid the foundation for a terrific new
series. She takes a unique slant on the myth surrounding
Pandora's box, and creates the super-sexy, super-tormented
Lords of the Underworld. Maddox and Ashlyn have their own
personal torments, yet they cannot stop the attraction that
is flowing between them. I love the inner turmoil that
Maddox has to overcome, and the sacrifices that each of the
pair has to make. All of the Lords quickly wind their way
into your heart, and you cannot help but to feel sorry for
their plight. THE DARKEST NIGHT sinks its claws into you
and will not release you until the end. Of course, only
some of our questions are answered, so be prepared for
future tales, and more sexy warriors.
An immortal warrior cursed to die every night, only to
awaken the next morning knowing he has to die again. A
mortal woman with a power beyond imagining. Neither can
resist the instant hunger that calms their torments... and
ignites an irresistible passion.
