    Half human and half Wyr, Pia Giovanni spent her life keeping a low profile among the Wyrkind and avoiding the continuing conflict between them and their Dark Fae enemies. But after being blackmailed into stealing a coin from the hoard of a dragon, Pia finds herself targeted by one of the most powerful---and passionate---of the Elder Races.

    Story

    This is a well done adventure story. Dragos & Pia, as the romantic leads, are interesting, intelligent & courageous. Their characters & relationships develop as they are carried from one adventure to the next. The interest continues as things settle down for a bit while Pia finds her place in Dragos' world. The sex is steamy although there isn't a whole lot of down-time for that.

    The supporting characters are fun too. So much so that I have listened to & enjoyed the entire series! However, this one is my favorite, and one I turn to when I can't sleep at night - just because it makes me feel good.

    Story

    Interesting story that is captivating from the get-go. The characters & relationships evolve from self discovery, not angst & whining. The steamy sex adds to the story. I liken this one to Dragon Bound by Thea Harrison - another one of my favorites - a story & place I would like to be a part of. I will be listening to this one again & again and I have already purchased 50 credits this year alone. I will be watching for more in this series!

    Lucy Delacourt's temp position isn't quite her dream job but it pays the bills. The highlight of her day is riding the elevator in the mornings with a handsome stranger. Tall, dark, and sexy as hell, Lucy knows he's way out of her league, but a girl can look, right? Everything changes the day the stranger seduces her. Completely out of character, she yields without a fight, but she has no idea her wanton acts with a man whose name she doesn't know will change her life forever. Because the sexy stranger is none other than Jeremiah Hamilton, billionaire CEO of Hamilton Industries, and one taste isn't nearly enough to satisfy his need.

    You can run from the grave, but you can't hide. Half-vampire Cat Crawfield is now Special Agent Cat Crawfield, working for the government to rid the world of the rogue undead. She's still using everything Bones, her sexy and dangerous ex, taught her. But when Cat is targeted for assassination, the only man who can help her is the vampire she left behind.

    Story

    I've enjoyed the entire series. The narrator moves along (I hate slow or lots of pauses) and is easy to listen to. The romance is steamy with a consistent undercurrent. I especially enjoy the development of the relationship and this one doesn't disappoint. Add to that a strong lead female character, charming leading man & lots of fast paced intrigue & adventure, and this whole series is a very fun ride!! I highly recommend it!!

    Character & relationship development well done. That is often my favorite part & this succeeds. Imaginative love story. I would have liked the heroine to be stronger with less angst - but it was tolerable. I recommend this book.

    Story

    Half of the book is angst. I've heard it already, again, again, again. Seems like the author didn't have enough story & so repeated the insecurities over & over. I had to fast forward a lot . It does get better toward the end. The only reason I could listen to the whole thing is because I was doing a boring task at the same time.

    Story

    I have been a fan of Lisa Kleypas audiobooks and this one is typical. IE - The couple meet & seem ill-suited for each other. Their relationship develops & they fall for each other but keep it to themselves due to their own insecurities. They have a sexual encounter that results in a break up as well as an obsession with the other. The story comes to a crisis point from which they overcome the obstacles that have kept them apart.

    Awakening after all this time in a world of absolute darkness and oppressive heat, Dax wonders in how many ways the world above must have changed. But it is how he has changed that fills him with dread and loathing. Buried alive for hundreds of years in a volcano in the Carpathian Mountains, Dax fears that he has become the full-fledged abomination that every Carpathian male fears, a victim of the insidious evil that has crept relentlessly into his mind and body over the centuries.

    Story
    Would you try another book from Christine Feehan and/or Erik Bergmann and Kristine Ryan ?

    I just read a couple of books from this series while on vacation. Aside from the repeated backdrop of violence toward women, I enjoyed them. This one was a different story. Doubt, insecurity, & angst take up at least 1/3 of the story. I found myself saying "just get on with it' often & eventually having to fast forward because I couldn't take it anymore. I lost interest way before the end. Thus I am returning it. There are over 20 books in the series. I enjoy different characters being developed throughout a series. However, I think the author has drawn this well dry.
    I find it hard to believe that others gave this one a good rating. I chose this book over others in the series because of that. Yecch.


    Would you ever listen to anything by Christine Feehan again?

    Maybe older ones from this series - nothing newer.
