Aspiring actress Abbey Cordova knows more than most people the truth about vampires. She was born among them. She is the only child of a centuries old family of undead and she is determined to stay human. A chance encounter with the dark mysterious Niccola Desanto rocks her to her very core. He is a vampire, an ancient, but he makes her feel beautiful, cherished and for the first time in her life she feels passionate desire. She is very much tempted to enjoy a NIGHT'S SURRENDER.

Nick has spent hundreds of years on his own, ever since his sire abandoned him to make his own way in the world. All the decadent pleasures have lost their appeal and he grows weary of his very existence. There is a rumor that one of his kind has regained her humanity, and he is so very tempted to find her and demand the secret. But the chance meeting with the lovely Abbey changes everything. The world looks much more appealing with her in it and the love he feels just might last more than a human lifetime.

I loved NIGHT'S SURRENDER as author Amanda Ashley takes us through the complex emotions of the vampires who have lived hundreds of years, having done everything and anything they want or feel. Then she adds the surprise of something new -- a love that wakes up a dead heart -- and away this story goes. Nick struggles with his inhumanity and his desire to be with Abbey and grow old together. That, of course, is what adds the touches of fear to Abbey too, for she will grow old and gray, and he will stay as he is. But that is dealt with in a couple of surprise twists to this complex storyline. Have no fear. At the end of it all, there is a happily ever after for all parties involved, including the adorable Edna and Pearl.

NIGHT'S SURRENDER is book seven of Ms. Ashley's Children of the Night series. I love books that include past characters and this one includes a number of series heroes and heroines that round out this book very nicely. If you are looking for a book that will make your heart race as you watch a couple fall in love, fight off hunters and evil vampires who endanger their lives and loves, then NIGHT'S SURRENDER is just what you are looking for.
