Publisher's summary

Since time began, there have been Nightwalkers - the races of the night who live in the shadows of the moonlight. Love with humans is absolutely forbidden, and one man makes certain to uphold this ancient law: Jacob, the Enforcer.

For 700 years, he has resisted temptation. But not tonight... Jacob knows the excuses his people give when the madness overtakes them and they fall prey to their lust for humans. He's heard every one and still brought the trespassers to justice. Immune to forbidden desires, uncontrollable hungers, or the curse of the moon, his control is total... until the moment he sees Isabella on a shadowy New York City street. Saving her life wasn't in his plans. Nor were the overwhelming feelings she arouses in him. But the moment he holds her in his arms and feels the soft explosion of her body against his, everything changes. Their attraction is undeniable, volatile, and completely against the law. Suddenly everything Jacob has ever believed is inflamed by the heat of desire. Bring on the night.

Critic reviews

"I loved this book!" (Christine Feehan)

Awesome!

The story and characters are great, and the narrator is absolutely FANTASTIC! Xe Sands is one of the best narrators I've heard so far. Great job!

Loved it!

What made the experience of listening to Jacob the most enjoyable?

The story was great! Jacquelyn Franks is an excellent writer. This was the first book by her that I had ever read/listened to. It really draws you in, and you quickly begin to love the characters.

What about Xe Sands’s performance did you like?

She does a great job with the accents and the different characters voices. She is one of the best narrators I have ever had the pleasure of hearing!

400 year old demon seeking ......

Love the fact the women in this book are not all weak and don't cry when their lives are turned upside down by finding out that things really do go bump in the night and what is deemed evil is not always what it seems! Refreshing new take on the world of Demond's and Druids!

Jacob

I enjoyed the whole story line and how the story unfold. I can not wait to the listen to the the adventure of the other members of the family.

Love this book!!!

This book is amazing. It's such a romantic story and I love the wit that's in it. All of the characters are well thought out and written about. would definitely recommend reading this series :)

Good story, a little bland

Very well performed. well written. well thought out. just a little boring. struggled to finish the last hour but then it got good

Can't get any better than this!!!!!

WOW!! I am so pleased that one of my favorite authors is now on Audible. Jacquelyn Frank has been a favorite of mine since I first READ this book back in 2006. The Nightwalker Series is one of the best out there and then when you mix it with the incredible voice talent of Xe Sands,well....it is just fantastic. Jacquelyn is such an awesome writer who brings life to her characters and Xe just gives them a voice. She has to be one of the most talented voices today. I just can't get over the perfect fit this is with Jacquelyn and Xe. I can't wait for the rest of the series!!!

Wonderful Narration

Any additional comments?

Wonderful!

I loved the book so much that I wrote the narrator and told her what an excellent job she did protraying the characters. I know there is more out there to read in this series, and am eagerly anticipating it.

Loved it!

If you could sum up Jacob in three words, what would they be?

Honerable, committed and sexy.

What did you like best about this story?

The action and romance scenes are very detailed and colorful. It gives the imagination something to play with.

What about Xe Sands’s performance did you like?

She gave the characters personality. She made me want to look for other books that she has narrated.

Did you have an extreme reaction to this book? Did it make you laugh or cry?

I'm not going to spoil it but there is a part where I did laugh when the main female character forgot something very important. I laughed right along with the other characters :)
