It was too easy to put down to tend to other things. I still enjoyed it and would recommend it to anyone who loves paranormal romance as much as I do. ( )Kenyon's vampires are vampires of her own making. A group of sexy men who turned Dark Hunter out of desire for vengeance, their legend, mixed with the legends of mythological gods, makes this series intriguing to me, despite the fact that Kenyon has a spotty reputation as far as how good her novels actually are. I liked Night Embrace, but I must say it didn't get good till halfway through. The first half was all talk about how much Sunshine (the heroine) wanted Talon (the hero) and how sexy he was. (In addition, Kenyon's overuse of the word "sample" became a tad annoying. I started counting and rolling my eyes after the third time I saw it). Still, like I said before, once the story got about halfway to two-thirds through, it picked up substantially. Dark Hunter: " A souless guardian who stands between mankind and those who would see mankind destroyed" SK "Dance With The Devil" Talon is a dark hunter that fears nothing. He has protected mankind from what lurks in the night and has had some fun on the way. No committment, no strings attached is his perfect idea of an evening out. Sunshine Runningwolf is unconvential and extravagant. Gifted with artistic ability. Sunshine saves Talon's life. She is the perfect person for him with her flamboyant ways and she wants no committments, just a night. The more time Talon spends with Sunshine the closer he comes to uncovering dreams of long ago. With the enemy lurking, waiting for the perfect moment to destroy them, they need to come together and learn to let love conquer all. Another entertaining Dark-Hunter novel! Talon's history was really interesting and Sherrilyn Kenyon did a fantastic job of developing his relationship with Sunshine. There were lots of action, hot sex, hot men, more characters and supernaturals introduced in this book.Talons's character was more loosened up, he has human vices like his chicory coffee and beignets and I was really amused by that. Sunshine is an artist, connected with Selena, who appeared in the previous two books. There were snippets of Acheron's character and history here, and I have a feeling Kenyon uses these as foreplay so readers would want more until his own story (Book 12 I think).I always have a soft spot for big brothers and I immediately liked Talon when I read about his story, at least this time he wasn't betrayed by someone he loves, but by the people he defended against. The pain he suffered was heart-wrenching, Kenyon wrote with such vivid detail and excellent descriptions, which was very effective.I noticed everything must be about betrayal. Remembering Dante's Inferno, treachery is the gravest sin and the treacherous ones were those in the 9th circle of his version of hell. I liked how closely Greek mythology fused with the modern ages and the gods and goddesses acted worse than mortals. The characters speak, the dialogue comes to life and they were very funny, I've always appreciated sarcastic humor. I would definitely read more of this series. This book was just as good as the first two in the series. Its got some great humor, hot guys, steamy sex, and pretty good plot. Now that the plots are starting to intertwine its getting even better, off to start the next book. no reviews | add a review
Amazon.com Product Description (ISBN 0312984820, Mass Market Paperback)Dear Reader,Life is great for me. I have my chicory coffee, my warm beignets, and my best friend on the cell phone. Once the sun goes down, I am the baddest thing prowling the night: I command the elements, and I know no fear. For centuries, I've protected the innocent and watched over the mankind, making sure they are safe in a world where nothing is ever certain. All I want in return is a hot babe in a red dress, who wants nothing more from me then one night. Instead, I get a runaway Mardi Gras float that tries to turn me into roadkill and a beautiful woman who saves my life but can't remember where she put my pants. Flamboyant and extravagant, Sunshine Runningwolf should be the perfect woman for me. She wants nothing past tonight, no ties, no long-term commitments. But every time I look at her, I start yearning for dreams that I buried centuries ago. With her unconventional ways and ability to baffle me, Sunshine is the one person I find myself needing. But for me to love her would mean her death. I am cursed never to know peace or happiness-not so long as my enemy waits in the night to destroy us both. --Talon of the Morrigantes (retrieved from Amazon Tue, 05 Jan 2010 13:43:30 -0500) The first test round has been closed.
