When Nicole Martin was eight years old, her family's
vampire slaves rebelled and attacked them, nearly killing
her and taking the lives of her parents. Now an adult she
is back to take over the family business not realizing that
her life will again be turned upside down. She plans to
find a cure and end vampirism forever not be BOUND BY NIGHT.
Ryker's mate was a slave to the Martin family and because
of them she is dead. He has little love for them in
particular but most humans fall in his hate category. His
people, the MoonBound Clan, work hard to stay hidden away
from the human slavers, fighting to keep their freedom. He
only goes to the Martin's labs to rescue a very special
vampire, not to kidnap the returning Nicole.
A number of misunderstandings are in the air between Ryker
and Nicole, but amidst the fear and hatred something else
blooms. It is something so totally unexpected that both are
clearly taken aback. There is no way they can fall in love.
BOUND BY NIGHT is a dark, sexy read filled with intrigue
and surprises. All the secrets that make the hero and
heroine who they are come out slowly page by page, making
it a book impossible to put down. I think Ryker and Nicole
are a perfect match for one another and even the blow ups
between them only adds spice. This is book 1 of author
Larissa Ione's MoonBound Clan Vampires and it is a
marvelous start. She has managed to put human emotions into
a make-believe world and make it seem so very real. It is
also filled out with remarkable secondary characters that I
want to see in future books.
The first installment in a sexy new paranormal romance series by Larissa Ione, author of the bestselling Demonica series! Nicole Martin was only eight years old when she narrowly survived a massacre: her family’s vampire slaves rebelled and killed everyone in her household. Twenty years later, Nicole now dedicates herself to finding a vaccine against vampirism…and eradicating the gruesome memories that give her nightmares. Riker, a member of the wild vampire Moon Clan, is haunted by his own demons—his wife Lorraine had been captured and enslaved by the Martin family. It was during a botched escape attempt that she was killed, along with their unborn child. Still wracked with grief and anger, Riker is now fueled solely by the desire to rescue vampire slaves…and slaughter their owners. When Riker stumbles upon Nicole in a chance meeting, he immediately recognizes her as a member of the Martin family that once enslaved his wife—and she recognizes him as the wild vampire she saw kissing a pregnant slave in the moments before her violent death—an image that has haunted her dreams for years. When Riker kidnaps Nicole and they spend a night together in a cave on the way back to his clan, suddenly they begin to realize that they aren’t as different from one another as they may have thought—and they’re finding themselves drawn to one another…
