Romance Paranormal

The Carpathians are still at war. Their enemies have gotten stronger and far more organized by adding jaguar-men into the mix. DARK PERIL focuses on the relationship between two warriors, Dominic and Solange, and their willingness to die for their cause. Both want revenge for their people, and both have lost any hope of finding love. Dominic, ancient Carpathian from the Dragonseeker line, is prepared to die. He has ingested lethal parasites in order to have a chance at infiltrating the enemy lair. His main purpose? To retrieve information, even at the cost of his life. His death would be a noble sacrifice for someone with no real lifemate. Solange, Jaguar-Woman and last of the royal line, wants familial revenge. Her father has killed off most of his people and has a fetish for murdering and torturing his women, and now he needs to breed. In order to have a future, she needs him stopped. I cried reading the first chapter because Solange's past was so horrifying. It definitely sucked me in. Solange and Dominic find solace in their dreams of an imaginary lover and are shocked when they find each other to be real. Dominic must get information from the enemy camp while finding a way to stay alive. Solange must face her fears about men and find a way to kill her father. It's amazing to watch the heroine transition from an independent warrior and vulnerable woman to a confident seductress. If you dislike murder/torture or can't read about men objectifying women then this may not be the book for you. You will cry, you will laugh, and you will love these two characters. Love is attainable, even to those who believe it is a lost cause.
