Romance Paranormal

Fiona Meadows might be a virgin but she isn't helpless. When she is kidnapped by a vampire with plans to use her at a "frenzy," a party that only the vampires survive, she fights back. She hasn't taken years of martial arts for nothing. She has the HEART OF A WARRIOR and doesn't take prisoners. Nicodemus, Nic, has been killing vampires since he was orphaned at 16. He is very good at his job and kind of likes the hero worship that comes with it, but this time he is awed by the sight before him ... a sword welding naked lady who is doing his job for him. Thus begins an interesting dilemma ...he usually helps the victims forget that anything happened to them and send them home but this woman is no victim. In fact she is very definitely a keeper. As Fiona and Nic begin to work together on finding the two escaped vampires, they also begin to feel things more deeply for each other. It even has Fiona thinking very hard about the "no sex before marriage" plan she has had all her life. Can they work together and trust each other in this new world that she has been thrust into? HEART OF A WARRIOR is a distinctive, fast paced, sexy slayer book with a number of sneaky twists. Nic and Fiona are poles apart in attitudes about life, yet are the perfect match for one another. A real interesting part of this book is that you really have two in one. Ivan and Annie, the second couple, are the escaped vampires who work together to try to survive. Annie had been a slave to one of the dead vampires and now she is free but doesn't really have the knowledge to survive on her own. The added bonus of comedy in the form of a telepathic lizard named Cho, who can speak and be heard by both Nic and Fiona, will keep you laughing throughout. Survival is the name of this game and to see what happens to the two couples you will have to pick up this book. Just an added note to the author: I got a kick out of the particular line concerning football, as someone who follows game I found it an unexpected and hilarious touch. Theodora Lane is now on my to read list.

SUMMARY

Nicodemus likes to kill vampires. A lot. But his nocturnal job as a bloodsucker exterminator makes dating rather … dangerous. Fiona has never needed a man to rescue her and just because vampires find the prospect of her virginity delicious doesn’t mean she is going to start now. When saving each other becomes a habit, Nic and Fiona start on a path that might make her less tasty and his lone hunter routine a thing of the past. Once they pair up battling evil vampires, Nicodemus and Fiona know the only choice is to kill or be killed, and they have no intentions of becoming dinner tonight. Are they just partners or do they each hold their warrior’s heart? When a group of evil vampires meet for dinner and drinks at a midnight party, virgins may be on the menu, but Fiona never expects to find herself one of the party favors. She’s never needed a man to rescue her, and she’s never been impressed by manly muscles and heroic deeds…until Nic walks in and definitely gets the job done. She’s awestruck to meet a man who can hold his own alongside her fighting skills and feisty attitude. And he's getting under her skin, making her hot, and making her rethink her "no sex before marriage" policy. Because, yeah, Fiona is a virgin, and she's not giving it away to just anyone. These unlikely comrades in arms might just rescue each other, if the vampires don't kill them first.
