Romance Paranormal

Damien is the Prince of all Vampires who rules with an iron fist. His creatures and those of the Demons and Lycanthropes have a tentative truce after centuries of war and fighting. These races are known as the Nightwalkers who survive during the night finally see eye to eye. Damien wants the best for his people even though his wants and desires are placed in the background. He only thirsts for blood and believes because of what he is; he will never find a mate because vampires are known to be cold and ruthless. The histories of the Nightwalkers are in then universal collection, a library that is coveted by all. It was discovered by the Lycanthropes on their territory and in their caverns. Since the Lycanthrope Queen has married the commander of the Demon armed forces, they welcome the vampire community and their scholars to research these treasured books. Working side by side, perhaps the bonds can grow even stronger between these races and peace can reign supreme. Damien decides to go to the library because he is also curious and to keep watch and make sure no one uses the library for their own devious means to gain more power. Syreena is the sister of Sienna, the Lycanthrope Queen and is very special for she can shift change into many forms. She is asked by Sienna to guard the Nightwalker library and agrees. But when Syreena is attacked by a powerful and crazed demon, Damien is there to rescue her. Even though these two are not meant to be together in anyway possible, they both cannot deny the lust they have for each other. For the first time in Damien's long life, his heart is telling him to take a mate. These two are forbidden to love one another and there are those, even ones close to Damien who will make sure he and his Lycanthrope princess are separated forever. Fans of Jacquelyn Frank's Nightwalkers series will rejoice with the latest addition to an incredible paranormal series like no other. DAMIEN is lush with Frank's storytelling and her descriptions of the characters and settings are truly amazing. DAMIEN blows all other stereotypes away with his portrayal of a vampire prince that has the weight of the world on his shoulders. He is basically a moralistic man who wants the best for his people. Even though loving comes hard to him, he is one to protect and care for those he calls his friends. Syreena is like a breath of fresh air and she is another greatly written character. When Damien and she realize they are meant to be together, their love become so strong and very emotional. The villains in DAMIEN are some nasty creatures and the action and suspense is non-stop until the very last page. Good and bad fight against one another in some excellent fight scenes and don't be surprised if you rise to you feet applauding the winners. DAMIEN is one paranormal romance that should be placed high on your to be read list.

SUMMARY

HE'D NEVER LOVED. BUT SHE WAS IRRESISTIBLE. As reigning Vampire Prince, Damien has tasted every pleasure the world has to offer--consorting with kings and queens and delighting in sensual adventure. Now, tired of such pursuits, he devotes his energies to protecting his people. The war between human necromancers and Nightwalkers has escalated, and when the enemy makes a daring move, kidnapping Syreena, a Lycanthrope Princess, Damien boldly follows. He succeeds in rescuing her, but is unprepared for the erotic longing her lush sensuality awakens in him. Gifted with rare abilities, Syreena grew up in a cloistered setting and was forbidden to form attachments to others, yet the connection Damien feels with her is immediate, intoxicating, and impossible for either to resist. But claiming Syreena as his mate could have shattering repercussions for every Nightwalker--and leave their enemies more dangerous than ever before...
