"A Vampire Love Story Full of Suspense!"
Reviewed by Rachael Dimond

Paranormal Romance
For over 500 years, Caris and Tiberius were
vampires, lovers, partners in life. Their passion for each
other
was so strong nothing could come between them.
Unfortunately, something did. Caris was turned by a
werewolf and became a hybrid which is one part vampire, one
part werewolf.
In the 1700's hybrids were hunted and the last of the kind
was killed by Tiberius. They are looked at as an
abomination and a danger to our world. Their very breath
when in werewolf mode is deadly to humans.
Tiberius banished Caris from his life after she became a
hybrid. She ended up shacking up with a werewolf named
Gunnolf, an enemy of Tiberius'. But she never forgot about
her vampire lover and the love they shared.
Now twenty years later, Caris and Tiberius' paths have
crossed yet again. They end up working together side by
side trying to track down a missing girl whose father was
murdered by Caris. She is desperately trying to keep the
murder under wraps as the reasoning behind it leads to her
secret status as a hybrid. If the world knew what she
truly was, all hell would break loose.
Will Caris and Tiberius be able to work together as a team
or will their long history and undeniable attraction cause
problems for them? Will they take a chance and find love
again or will Caris being a hybrid just become too much for
Tiberius to deal with?
WHEN PASSION LIES is the fourth book in the Shadow
Keepers
Series but can be read independently as a stand-alone
story. J.K. Beck is the pen name for author Julie Kenner,
author of the Demon Hunting Soccer Mom Series as well as
many other books. She has also written The Blood Lily
Chronicles with the titles Tainted, Torn and Turned. These
books are my absolute favorite of all time and the best I
have ever read.
The backstory of Caris and Tiberius is a relationship that
lasted for over 500 years but was torn apart for the last
20 due to her becoming a hybrid. Their chemistry was
intense, the way they moved together was so natural, and I
just loved and rooted for them to have a happily ever
after.
Now although WHEN PASSION LIES is labeled paranormal
romance, it is
gritty. There are quite a few violent scenes and
flashbacks, but nothing so over the top that it disturbed
me.
There's just something about reunited lover stories that
grabs my heart. I truly love those types of books. There
are plenty of fight scenes, action and near death battles
to
keep you on the edge of your seat.
Overall, WHEN PASSION LIES is suspenseful, heart stopping,
beautiful, and everything I could have asked for in a
story. I will quickly be diving into the fifth book, When
Darkness Hungers, next.
SUMMARY
Tiberius is a vampire dedicated to protecting his kind—and
the secrets of the shadow world. Now, as his quest to become
head of the Alliance draws within reach, a shattering new
threat puts him to the ultimate test. It’s a nightmare of
grim proportions: a dark plot to bring about the mass
extermination of human and shadow alike. And it forces
Tiberius to turn to the woman he loved and lost, the lover
he still desires but doesn’t trust. Caris was Tiberius’s mate for centuries—until a fateful
mission changed her forever. Her tortured secrets drove her
into the arms of his rival, but desperation has brought her
back. As a horrifying new weapon of mass destruction is
about to be unleashed, Tiberius and Caris harness the power
of their immortal and passionate love. But will it be enough
to battle devastating odds and a ruthless enemy with the
ambition to destroy them all?
